1. A protector comprising:
a case main body that forms a housing space part for housing a folded part of a wiring material routed in a vehicle, the case main body including a main body opening part that allows the housing space part to communicate with outside; and
a cover member that closes the main body opening part, wherein
the case main body includes:
a first guide space part that communicates with the housing space part, and leads, to the outside, a first extension part connected to one side of the folded part of the wiring material; and
a second guide space part that communicates with the housing space part, and leads, to the outside, a second extension part connected to another side of the folded part of the wiring material,
the cover member includes:
a cover main body part that faces the housing space part in a closed state where the main body opening part of the case main body is closed by the cover member,
a first cover part that extends in a first direction from an end part of the cover main body part in the first direction of longitudinal direction, the first cover part facing the first guide space part in the closed state; and
a second cover part that extends in the first direction from the end part of the cover main body part in the first direction and curves in lateral direction that is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the cover main body part, the second cover part facing the second guide space part in the closed state,
the first cover part and the second cover part are at positions overlapping with each other in the longitudinal direction when viewed from the lateral direction of the cover main body part; and form an insertion space for passing the wiring material through in the lateral direction when viewed from orthogonal direction that is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction of the cover main body part, and
the first cover part includes:
a movable part that is movable in the orthogonal direction with respect to the cover main body part when viewed from the lateral direction of the cover main body part; and
a hinge part that rotatably connects the cover main body part and the movable part.
