In an outer slide type sunroof unit, a first seal member is mounted to a side edge of a molded part provided on an outer peripheral edge of a fixed rear panel; a second seal member is mounted to a rear edge of the molded part and has a lateral end facing forward at a position offset outward relative to a rear end of the first seal member; and a third seal member is provided on an outboard side of the first seal member. The third seal member includes a first portion for resiliently contacting an inner edge of a roof opening and a second portion that resiliently contacts the first seal member and cooperates with the first seal member to define a passage for a stay supporting a slidable front panel, a rear end of the first portion being bonded to the lateral end of the second seal member.

A door weather strip for an automobile, which exhibits excellent sealing properties between a door of the automobile and a door opening portion of a vehicle body with a small door-closing force. The door weather strip includes a base portion and a tubular seal portion. The base portion includes a bottom wall contacting the door, a partition formed in a boundary between the bottom wall and the tubular seal portion, and an interior space formed between the bottom wall and the partition. The tubular seal portion includes a seal wall surrounding an outer periphery thereof, and an interior space inside the seal wall. The partition includes a connection hole connecting the interior space of the base portion to the interior space of the tubular seal portion.

An open roof construction is provided for a vehicle having an opening in a fixed roof where the fixed roof has a roof edge defining the opening and protruding in a downward direction and further comprises a stationary part, at least one panel for at least partly opening and/or closing the roof opening. The panel is movable in vertical and longitudinal directions with respect to the roof opening. The stationary part is provided with sealing assembly comprising a first seal part capable of sealing the panel towards the fixed roof part, and a second seal part capable of sealing the stationary part against an inner part of the fixed roof and wherein the sealing assembly further comprises a third seal part capable of sealing the stationary part against a lower part of the roof edge.
