摘要： A structure of installing a wire harness for a sliding door includes a harness protective tube 2 in which electric wires are contained to compose the wire harness. The harness protective tube 2 is curved at the sliding door side and installed at a vehicle body side. The harness protective tube 2 has an oval shape in cross section, and is curved in a direction of its longer diameter portions 3 at the sliding door side so that the longer diameter portions are positioned in a vertical direction, whereby harness slack absorbing function is imparted to the harness protective tube. The longer diameter portions 3 are supported by a support part 11 at the sliding door side, and the harness protective tube 2 is curved in a direction of the longer diameter portions extending from the support part to the vehicle body side. There is provided a protector 5 in which the support part 11 is positioned, and the harness protective tube 2 is contained in a curved state in a direction of the longer diameter portions 3. The longer diameter portions 3 in a curved section 2a of the harness protective tube 2 are urged upward by an elastic member 7.
