ABSTRACT:
An opening, through which a connection section between a drive arm and a rod of a power back door enters and exits, is covered with cover members to improve external appearance, and interference between the connection section and the cover members is eliminated when the connection section passes through the opening to prevent abnormal noise and damage to the cover members during the passage of the connection section. A pair of cover members6aand6bare provided along right and left vertical edges of a vertically long opening50that is formed in a side edge defining a door opening1, through which a connection section S between a drive arm3and a rod4of a power back door for automatically driving a back door2adapted to close and open the door opening1can enter and exit, such that lip-shaped end edges thereof face and contact each other. The cover members6aand6bare gradually expanded in width so that they have a greater width on the lower side thereof, and a contacting position is shifted downwardly and inwardly of the opening50, thereby forming an entrance/exit opening64surrounded by lower edges of expanded sections of the cover members6aand6b, through which the connection section S enters and exits.
