1. A protector comprising:
a base member; and
a cover member that is attached to the base member, wherein
the base member includes:
a base body that is located in a center in a width direction orthogonal to an upper/lower direction, and
base bilateral-side portions located on both sides in the width direction,
the base bilateral-side portions include:
hooking portions provided on attachment direction-side ends,
a pair of inclined guides provided on a detachment direction side that is an opposite direction of the attachment direction of the hooking portion, and going in a lower direction as going in the attachment direction,
a pair of horizontal guides each provided between the inclined guide and the hooking portion in the attachment direction, and extending along the attachment direction from a attachment direction-side end of the inclined guide, and
a pair of locking parts provided on the detachment direction side of the inclined guide,
the cover member includes
an accommodating space, and
a cover body that has a cover opening communicating with the accommodating space and located in the center of the width direction, and

a pair of guided parts that are provided on the detachment direction side of the hooked portion, and come into contact with at least one of the inclined guide and the horizontal guide, and
a pair of locked parts that are provided on the detachment direction side of the guided part, and locked on the locking part, and
an inclined direction guiding operation is performed in which when the cover member is moved to the lower direction with the guided part coming into contact with the inclined guide, the cover member goes in the attachment direction as going in the lower direction; a horizontal guiding operation is performed to move the guided part to the horizontal guide from the inclined guide while the guided part is held to come into contact with the base member, and move the cover member to the attachment direction in a state in which the guided part comes into contact with the horizontal guide; and when the cover member is moved to a preset attachment position, the cover opening is closed by the base member and the hooking portion is hooked on the hooked portion, and a movement restricted state is performed in which the locking part is locked on the locked part, and in the movement restricted state, the movement of the cover member with respect to the base member is restricted in the attachment direction, the detachment direction, and the upper/lower direction.
