ABSTRACT:
To a pair of link arms, portions of a fitting mechanism that can be engaged with each other in a vehicle width direction are formed. Further, hinge bases that hold both ends of the pair of link arms rotatably can fit together in the vehicle width direction. By this structure, when a load is applied onto a sliding door from the outside of the vehicle owing to a side collision or the like, and a force is applied onto the fitting mechanism and the pair of hinge bases in the vehicle width direction and in the vehicle vertical direction, the portions of the fitting mechanism and the pair of hinge bases fit together, and the movement of the link arms to the upper side in the vehicle vertical direction is regulated. Thereby, the pulling deformation of the sliding door to the inside of the vehicle body is suppressed.
