ABSTRACT:
A wire harness is slidably arranged between a vehicle body and an opening/dosing member of the vehicle. A grommet is fitted onto one end of a wire harness, which is arranged in the opening/closing member and is pulled out toward the vehicle body. The grommet has a diaphragm portion that can swing, extend and contract. A tube having a predetermined length is fitted onto the wire harness. A first end of the tube is fitted onto the grommet, while a second end is fixed to the wire harness, so that the tube can be slidably received in a guiding portion provided in the opening/closing member. A surplus length portion is provided in the wire harness, which is pulled out from the tube, so that the wire harness can follow opening/closing operations of the opening/closing member. The surplus length portion is received in the surplus length absorbing space provided in the guiding portion, while the wire harness is locked onto the opening/closing member at an exit of the surplus length absorbing space.
