1. A waterproof structure of an electrical junction box including a junction box main body and a tubular wire cover, the junction main body having a groove formed on an outer wall of the junction box main body, and the wire cover being slidably engaged with the groove of the junction box main body, wherein an electric wire is passed downward through the wire cover and fixed to a taping portion located at a lower portion of the wire cover using a tape, the waterproof structure comprising a step portion as a water stop formed integrally on a rear wall of the wire cover, wherein the rear wall of the wire cover is arranged in contact with or adjacent to a back wall of the groove of the junction box main body, and the wire cover and the back wall of the groove are positioned apart to each other so as to form a space below the step portion, so that a bottom face of the step portion, the bottom face being formed in a horizontal or a substantially horizontal manner, serves as a water stop face that prevents water from entering into the electrical junction box from bottom along the back wall of the groove through the electric wire.
