Abstract
A wiring harness arranging construction is provided to arrange a wiring harness in a position more toward a passenger compartment than a hinge and a weatherstrip. The construction includes a container casing 10 with a space 10p for accommodating a looped harness, an insertion opening 10f and a withdrawal opening 10g for the harness which are opposed to each other, and a harness fixing portion 10h projecting from the outer surface of the insertion opening 10f. After being inserted through the insertion opening 10f and wound around a windup spring 30 inside the casing 10, the wiring harness is withdrawn through the withdrawal opening 10g. The container casing 10 is secured to either one of a door and a body, and the wiring harness withdrawn from the container casing 10 is extended to the other of the door and the body and secured thereto by a clamp. Accordingly, the wiring harness can extend and contract while varying the diameter of the loop of its part passed through the container casing as the door is opened and closed.
