According to one embodiment, the grooves are arranged so as to successively increase in cross-sectional areas thereof from a centermost groove or centermost grooves to outermost grooves. According to another embodiment, the bottom surface of the door glass run includes both a central surface portion that is flat and free of grooves and side surface portions, which are formed on opposite side walls of the flat central surface portion and have grooves formed therein.
