Guide rollers (13) (13), (14) (14) having an outer peripheral shape of a substantially rhombus are provided at the upper and lower edges of the front and rear of the support head (12),
It is pivotally supported by a horizontal axis (not shown) that faces the left-right direction.

The inner panel (15) of the sliding door (3) has the panel
The lower part of (15) is a horizontal recess (15a) formed by bulging outward by a predetermined dimension, and the inner panel (15) of the inner panel (15) is orthogonal to the recess (15a). An insertion hole (16) having a predetermined width and height is formed in the vertical direction of the intermediate portion.

As shown in FIG. 3, the recess (15a) has a vertical cross section that is substantially inwardly U-shaped, and has a V-shaped groove (1
A guide rail (17) formed with 7a) and (17b) is fixed and adapted to slide by engaging with guide rollers (13) and (14) provided on the above-mentioned guide device (4). .

The guide rail (17) and the guide device (4) form a door opening / closing mechanism (X).

In the insertion hole (16), the window glass (22) of the window regulator (R) integrally and substantially orthogonally fixed to the outer surface of the guide rail (17) through the mounting plate (18). A guide rail (19) for raising and lowering is inserted so as to be located inside the door body (3) and fixed to the outside of the inner panel (15).
