A lower side wall surface 12b of the hollow seal part 12 has a fin 40 formed on an outer-cabin side edge 110 thereof and a bead part 30 formed from the outer-cabin side edge 110 of the lower side wall surface 12b to a position beyond an elastic contact position on the bead part with the door glass 5 toward an inner-cabin side and the bead part 30 is inclined downward.
