Abstract
A vehicle body structure includes a drain member arranged along an edge of a glass window. The drain member includes a surface exposed to an outside of a vehicle, a drain passage extending in a direction along the edge of the glass window and formed to be hollow, and a communication path having one end communicating with the drain passage and the other end communicating with the surface of the drain member. The communication path is formed to have a width that draws water from the surface into the drain passage by a capillarity phenomenon, and a width of the drain passage in a direction orthogonal to the direction is formed to be wider than the width of the communication path.
