ABSTRACT:
A door weather strip to be attached along an outer periphery of a door frame of a motor vehicle has a base portion to be attached to an outer periphery of the door frame, and a tubular sealing portion formed integrally with the base portion. The tubular sealing portion is divided by a bridge connecting the base portion and an upper wall of the tubular sealing portion into an inside sealing portion and an outside sealing portion. An inner side wall of the inside sealing portion is pressed to a body surface around the door opening, and an upper wall of the outside sealing portion is pressed to a drip moulding protruding along a roof side of the vehicle body. The wall thickness of both the bridge and the upper wall of the inside sealing portion, which extends from an upper end of the bridge to the inner side wall is larger than that of the other portion of the sealing portion, whereby when the door is drawn outward during high speed running of the motor vehicle, a corner portion of the thick-walled bridge and upper wall of the inside sealing portion is pressed to the drip moulding, accordingly the sealing performance between the door weather strip and the drip moulding is increased.
