ABSTRACT:
A weather strip attached along a door opening of a motor vehicle for sealing between the door opening and a periphery of a door glass has a strip-shaped extruded portion, and a molded end portion jointed to a lower end of the extruded portion. The strip-shaped extruded portion has a longitudinally extending tubular main seal portion and a lip-shaped seal portion which defines a concave groove with the main seal portion. The molded end portion has an extended concave groove extending from the concave groove of the strip-shaped extruded portion to a rear side edge of the molded end portion. During running of a vehicle in rainy weather or during washing of the vehicle, water leaking into the concave groove flows along the extended concave groove and is drained out therefrom without staying at an end of the extended concave groove thereby preventing water from intruding into a vehicle compartment when a vehicle door is opened or closed.
