ABSTRACT:
A weather strip for attachment along a side of a roof of a motor vehicle has a bottom portion to be attached to a door opening portion and a seal wall of which side ends are respectively connected to the bottom portion. The bottom portion and the seal wall define a tubular space of which the height is less than the width thereof. A widthwise inside half of the bottom portion is composed of a solid rubber, and is attached to the door opening portion via a base plate of a roof-side moulding. A widthwise outside half of the bottom portion and the seal wall are continuously formed of a sponge rubber. The widthwise outside half of the bottom portion serves as an extended part of the seal wall, and flexes along with the seal wall when the seal wall is pushed by a door glass upwardly, thereby sufficiently wrapping a peripheral edge of the door glass.
