In the corner portion, a clip insertion hole in which a clip for attaching the corner portion to the automobile body is insertable is formed, and in the insert member, a clip hole is formed in a position corresponding to the clip insertion hole. In the outer peripheral portion of the clip hole, an additional hole communicating with the clip hole is formed, and the elastic materials of which the corner portion is made and that are situated on the obverse and reverse sides of the insert member are united together through the additional hole.
SEALING STRUCTURE FOR VEHICLE DOOR
A sealing structure for a vehicle door includes: a side-door opening provided on a vehicle; a sliding door provided to be shiftable between a closed position and an open position; and a second sealing member provided at the side-door opening. In the second sealing member, when the sliding door is placed at the closed position from the open position, a first lip portion moves toward the sliding door and comes into contact with the sliding door to prevent the entry of water into the vehicle from between the side-door opening and the sliding door. When the sliding door is placed at the open position from the closed position, the first lip portion moves away from the sliding door.
