Abstract
A vehicle body structure is provided that prevents a glass window in a fully closed state from moving toward inside a vehicle. The vehicle body structure for use with a door includes: a vehicle body; and a run channel that is interposed for sealing between the vehicle body and a glass window that is slidably arranged in the door, wherein the run channel includes a base portion that is mounted to the vehicle body, and a hollow frame portion that elastically contacts the glass window and defines a hollow portion with the base portion, and the hollow frame portion is deformed when the glass window is fully closed so that the hollow portion is shrunk by the glass window, to cause at least a part of the hollow frame portion to closely contact the base portion.
