  • Publication number: 20220250454
    Abstract: Provided is a rear structure of a vehicle. The rear structure includes: a rear opening at a rear of a vehicle body; and an opening-closing member configured to open and close the rear opening. The opening-closing member has cushioning members respectively disposed on both Side portions in a vehicle body width direction. The rear opening has contact members respectively disposed on both side borders in the vehicle body width direction, the contact members being contactable with the cushioning members. Each cushioning member has two surfaces, one of which extends in a vehicle body upward-downward direction and the other of which extends in the vehicle body width direction. The two surfaces of each cushioning member are disposed to be contactable with a corresponding one of the contact members.
