Abstract
Abstract A door glass weather strip in a motor vehicle comprising a main body of door glass weather strip held by a door frame, a top end seal portion continuously, integrally formed on the main body of door glass weather strip to be clamped between the upper end edge of a door glass and the door frame when the door glass is fully closed and an outer lip formed on the top end seal portion in a manner to be continuously extending to the outside of the vehicle and to come into contact with the outer surface of the upper end edge of the door glass when the door glass is fully closed, wherein: the top end seal portion and the outer lip are formed to provide a member being of a generally L-shape in cross section, which can integrally rock about the outer end portion of the main body of door glass weather strip on the outer side of the vehicle in a direction of the thickness of the door glass; and a hook-shaped block is formed at the end portion of the top end seal portion on the side of a compartment, to be engaged with a recess formed in the main body of door glass weather strip in a manner to control a displacement of the top end seal portion outwardly in the direction of the thickness of the door glass.
