Abstract
A sealing structure for sealing a gap between a side sill of a vehicle body and a side sill garnish includes a generally tabular lip portion, a connecting portion branching from an intermediate region of a backside of the lip portion, and a fixing portion connecting with a lower end of the connecting portion and extending along the back side of a top end portion of a side sill garnish. The side sill garnish has an upper wall, a lower wall, and a channel on an end face of a top end portion. The upper wall, the lower wall, and the channel extend in the longitudinal direction of the side sill garnish. The lip portion is inserted into the channel and the fixing portion is adhered to the back side of the top end portion by double-sided adhesive tape.
