What is claimed is: 1. A vehicle floor structure comprising: a first floor member arranged on a floor of a vehicle; a second floor member arranged in a position that is horizontally offset with respect to the first floor member and is adjacent to the first floor member; a wire harness comprising a portion arranged below the first floor member and the second floor member, extending from a first floor member side to a second floor member side, and having an end situated on the first floor member side and coupled to a connector; and a restrictor configured to restrict a position of a crossover portion of the wire harness to be below the connector, the crossover portion being a portion of the wire harness situated below an interface between the first floor member and the second floor member. 2. The vehicle floor structure according to claim 1 , wherein the restrictor is disposed on at least one of the first floor member or the second floor member. 3. The vehicle floor structure according to claim 1 , wherein the restrictor is configured with a planar member extending from an end of the first floor member on the second floor member side towards the crossover portion. 4. The vehicle floor structure according to claim 3 , wherein the restrictor comprises a recess configured to fit the crossover portion, and wherein the recess is an approximately triangular recess having a width that decreases towards an upper side of the restrictor. 5. The vehicle floor structure according to claim 1 further comprising: a harness holder member configured to hold at least a portion of the wire harness situated on the second floor member side; and a support member configured to support the harness holder member and the connector and arranged below the harness holder member and the connector, wherein the restrictor is disposed on the support member. 6. The vehicle floor structure according to claim 5 , wherein the restrictor is a hook, a string body, or a flange, which is an extended portion of the support member. 7. The vehicle floor structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first floor member is a leg cover that covers a part of a body of the vehicle; and the second floor member is a sliding device that slidably supports a seat main body.
