A decorative member is attached to a side of a glass run outside a passenger compartment without degrading the workability in the attaching the glass run to a window frame, while reducing possible dents. The glass run includes a core, a base member located on the exterior wall of a trim outside the passenger compartment and made from a material with a high flexural modulus, and a decorative member fixed to a side of the base member outside the passenger compartment.

Sealing performance is improved without deteriorating appearance. A pillar P side of a roof-side seal lipand a roof R side of a pillar-side seal lipare spaced apart from each other in a transverse direction of a vehicle when a dooris open. The pillar P side of the roof-side seal lipis formed so as to be closer to the roof R side of the pillar-side seal liptoward an end of the pillar P side. When the dooris closed, the roof-side seal lipcomes into contact with the pillar-side seal lip

An outer side wall includes a bent sealing portion bent so as to be raised toward the inside of a cabin. When a window glass is closed, the bent sealing portion is elastically deformed so as to stretch along the outer surface of the window glass. The outer surface of the bent sealing portion is provided with a soft portion made of a softer material than the outer side wall.

Disclosed is a technique of narrowing a trim strip and improving ease of assembly. A boundary portion between upper and outer plate portions in the cross-section of a core is curved to have a large curvature. An outer portion of a glass run body is provided with an upper elastic protrusion engaging with an upper engagement portion of the trim strip. A gap is formed between an upper part of the outer portion of the glass run body and an upper portion of the trim strip. The gap allows the trim strip to move excessively toward the inside of a cabin.
