The present invention provides a weather strip which allows both (i) avoiding degradation in closing property of a door of a sashless door-type automobile and (ii) preventing intrusion of water into an inside of the automobile. A weather strip (1) includes a base (201), a sealing section (202), a seal lip section (203), and a stopper section (204). The stopper section (204) is provided with an open region (207) which, in a state where a door opening is closed, allows a first passage and a second passage, which are formed between the weather strip (1) and door glass (107), to communicate with each other on a side of a roof.
