ABSTRACT:
A vehicle storage box mounting structure is configured to reduce the discomfort felt by the passenger when the passenger's knees hit the storage box during a front collision without significantly reducing the strength and rigidity of the slide rails overall. The vehicle storage box mounting structure serves to mount a storage box to a vehicle in such a manner that the storage box can be moved between two positions, a stored position and a pulled out position, by slide rails provided on both sides of the storage box. The vehicle storage box mounting structure is configured such that at least a portion of the slide rails can be made to swing in response to an input force to the storage box from a passenger during a front collision.
