Abstract

A weather strip is attached to the periphery of an organic glass plate. The organic glass plate is supported by a slide panel. A space is defined between the weather strip and an end face of the periphery of the organic glass plate. The space accommodates thermal expansion of the organic glass plate. A tube is located at a corner of the weather strip. Foreign matter trapped in the space moves from the space to the tube and then is discharged from the space.
