A slide door structure of an automobile which enables occupants to get in and out with ease even in a narrow parking space because the door of the automobile can be largely opened and capable of reducing the constraints on the design of the body of the automobile. Forward lower rail boards (11, 13) are positioned on the lower part of the body (1) at the front of a rear wheel house (5) when the slide doors (2, 3) are closed and, when the slide doors (2, 3) are opened, extracted from the front side of the rear wheel house (5) to the outside rear side of the body (1) by the rotation of a front link mechanism, and a rear lower rail board (12) is positioned on the lower part of the body (1) at the rear of the rear wheel house (5) when the slide doors (2, 3) are closed and, when the slide doors (2, 3) are opened, extracted from the rear side of the rear wheel house (5) to the outside front side of the body (1) by the rotation of a rear link mechanism.
A slide door structure of an automobile supporting front and rear slide doors by a plurality of lower rail boards held by forward and backward link mechanisms from a lower side of a vehicle body, wherein a forward side lower rail board of the plurality of lower rail boards exists in a lower portion of said vehicle body in a front side of a rear wheel house at a door closed time in a state in which said slide doors are closed, and is moved in a rear direction in an outer side of said vehicle body from the front side of said rear wheel house, on the basis of a rotation of the forward link mechanism at a door open time in a state in which said slide doors are opened, and
A slide door structure of an automobile supporting front and rear slide doors from a lower side of a vehicle body by a lower rail board guided by a slide rail mechanism, wherein said lower rail board exists in a lower portion of said vehicle body in a front side of a rear wheel house at a door closed time in a state in which said slide doors are closed, and is moved toward an outer side of said vehicle body by said slide rail mechanism, and a sub rail board provided in said lower rail board is moved to a rear side of the vehicle from said lower rail board so as to support said slide doors.
