The movable rail slides along a lateral direction of the fixed rail and is coupled to a door frame. An auto closure module is provided at the rear of the fixed rail, and includes first and second elastic springs having different lengths. The first elastic spring moves with the movable rail such that a restorative force is not exerted for a prescribed distance as the door is pulled, and the second elastic spring has a first end, which moves with the movable rail, and a second end, which is fixed, and such that the second elastic spring exerts a restorative force as the door is pulled.
