ABSTRACT:
A structure for attaching a weather strip for vehicle door sashes comprises a molded part having a sealing portion making elastic contact with a door opening edge of a body of a vehicle and providing sealing between the door and the body when the door is closed, and a base integrally molded with the sealing portion by attaching the molded part to the door panel using a locking screw screwed in a nut secured in the outside molding through the door panel. The base has an integrally molded eyelet-shaped resin insert having a low frictional coefficient for inserting a locking screw, and the resin insert has an annular groove at the flange that makes contact with the locking screw head in a smaller area, reducing frictional drag. The structure prevents the base from being twisted while the locking screw is screwed in, which otherwise impairs the appearance of the molded part.
