ABSTRACT:
A sealing structure around a door of an automobile has a weather strip of a uniform width, which is installed in a vertical side of a door frame of a front door. In a center pillar of the automobile is formed a projecting portion to come in contact with the weather strip when the front door is closed. A sealing surface of the projecting portion inclines so as to gradually project towards the weather strip from the position close to the belt line to the position close to the roof side. This results in the gap between the door frame and the center pillar being gradually decreased upwards so as to gradually increase the quantity of flection of the weather strip upwards. This sealing structure maintains sufficient sealing property with a door closing force hardly increased if the front door is drawn out while the automobile is running at a high speed.
