Claim:
A weather strip, which is attachable to a support member and which opposes an opposing member, wherein the support member is one of a peripheral part of a door and a door opening part of a vehicle body, and the opposing member is the other of the peripheral part of the door and the door opening part of the vehicle body, and wherein the weather strip is for sealing between said vehicle body and said door, said weather strip is an opening trim weather strip attached to a flange formed on the peripheral part of said door opening part, and wherein said weather strip comprises: a mounting base part, which is attachable to the support member; and a hollow seal part, which is adapted to bulge from said mounting base part toward the opposing member, said hollow seal part including: an inner side-face projection and an outer side-face projection, which protrude from said mounting base part such that the distance between the inner side-face projection and the outer side-face projection increases toward distal ends thereof; and a seal wall connecting the distal ends of said inner and outer side-face projections in a convex manner, wherein: said seal wall is adapted to press against a protruding portion of said opposing member when the door is closed; projecting widths and projecting angles of said outer and inner side-face projections vary in a longitudinal direction of said weather strip so that said seal wall is disposed substantially perpendicular to a pressing direction of said opposing member; a first part which is attached to a roofside portion of said peripheral part of said door opening part; a second part attached to a first vertical portion of said peripheral part to which said door is hinge-connected, wherein: a projecting width of said outer side-face projection in said second part is substantially equal to a projecting width of said outer side-face projection in said first part, and a projecting width of said inner side-face projection in said second part is smaller than a projecting width of said inner side-face projection in said first part; and a third part attached to a second vertical portion of said peripheral part of said door opening part which is located on an opposite side to said first vertical portion with respect to the door opening, wherein: a projecting width of said inner side-face projection of said third part is substantially equal to a projecting width of said inner side-face projection of said first part; a projecting width of said outer side-face projection in said third part is smaller than a projecting width of said outer side-face projection in said first part; and a tangential direction of said seal wall in each of said first, second and third parts is set to be substantially perpendicular to the pressing direction of said door in a state in which said weather strip is attached.
