A side part structure of a vehicle includes a side door and a second seal member. The side door includes a lower end edge which substantially overlaps a wheel arch. The second seal member is configured to seal a gap between a wheel house and the side door. The side door includes a door garnish which faces an outer edge of the wheel house. The second seal member includes an installation base member and a lip integrally formed with the installation base member. The installation base member is configured to operably couple to the outer edge of the wheel house. The lip has a substantially tongue-shaped cross section in a width direction of the vehicle, and makes contact with the door garnish. The lip extends toward an outside in the width direction of the vehicle from a part on an outer side in a radial direction of the installation base member.

Side part structure of vehicle

Disclosed is a structure in which no gap that allows water entry between a weather strip and a glass run is formed in a situation where the weather strip at an upper frame portion of a window frame extends gradually downwardly apart from the glass run. An upper glass run portion is provided with a door panel sealing lip. The door panel sealing lip is provided with a gradually varying portion such that a downward protruding length of the door panel sealing lip increases. The gradually varying portion is disposed so as to contact an outer sealing lip of the weather strip.

Disclosed is a structure in which no gap that allows water admission between a weather strip and a glass run is formed in a situation where the weather strip at an upper frame portion of a window frame extends gradually downwardly apart from the glass run. The upper glass run portion is provided with a door panel sealing lip. The door panel sealing lip is provided with a form change point. The door panel sealing lip has a portion located closer to a center portion in a front-rear direction of the vehicle than the form change point is, and the portion contacts an upper surface of an upper frame portion and is bent outward away from a cabin. The door panel sealing lip has another portion located closer to an end than the form change point is, and the portion is not bent but extends downward.

A beltline sealing member includes a block portion that comes into contact with a glass run to assemble the beltline sealing member in a normal position in the longitudinal direction of the beltline sealing member.
