Claim:
A sealing structure of a weather strip for retractable roof vehicles, of which a die molded upper end part makes elastic contact with a roof weather strip which is installed along side edge of a roof, said weather strip comprising: an installation base member operatively coupled on a quarter sash provided on an edge of a quarter window glass of the retractable roof vehicle, that lifts and lowers together with said quarter window glass; a hollow seal part integrally molded with said installation base member, which elastically engages a first edge of a side window glass, the side window glass having first and second surfaces wherein the first surface is disposed toward an interior of the vehicle and the second surface is disposed toward an exterior of the vehicle; and a seal lip integrally molded with said installation base member on a first edge of said hollow seal part, which makes elastic contact with the first surface of said side window glass, in which: said die molded upper end part has a seal wall formed thereon, which covers said die molded upper end part, and which extends outwardly from an interior of the vehicle toward an exterior of the vehicle, and which makes elastic contact with said side window glass on said first surface of said side window glass; and at least a portion of an upper end of the seal lip separates from the seal wall so that the upper end of the seal lip and the seal wall diverge and form a roughly V-shaped groove therebetween; the seal wall and a peripheral edge of the seal wall extend to the seal lip at a distance from the upper end of the seal lip, wherein the seal wall rises from the die molded upper end part to form an opening between the seal wall and the die molded upper end part, the opening being disposed along a front side corner part of the die molded upper end part.
