Claim:
A door weather strip for sealing between a door of a motor vehicle and a door opening portion of a vehicle body comprising: a base portion for attachment to an outer periphery of the door; and a seal portion which is integrally formed with said base portion for contacting the door opening portion to seal between the door and the door opening portion, said seal portion including a main seal for contacting the door opening portion and a sub-seal for sealing between an extending peripheral part of the door and a roof-side end of the door opening portion on an outer side of said main seal, said sub-seal including a protrusion which protrudes from said base portion towards the door opening portion, and a tubular part having a generally triangular cross-section, of which one corner is integrally joined to said protrusion on an outer side thereof, so that the tubular part turns about a protruding end of said protrusion, wherein said tubular part is composed of an upper wall extending from said protruding end of said protrusion obliquely upwardly toward the roof-side end of the door opening portion, a lower wall extending from said protruding end of said protrusion obliquely downwardly toward the extending peripheral part of the door, and a vertical wall extending to connect an extending end of said upper wall and an extending end of said lower wall to each other between the door and the door opening portion, said vertical wall has a flat outside face, and contacts an inside face of the extending peripheral part of the door at a lower end thereof, said protrusion has a thickness which is greater than that of each of said upper wall, said lower wall and said vertical wall, and an inside face of said vertical wall projects inwardly along a widthwise center thereof to have an arc-shaped cross-section, wherein said protrusion, said lower wall and said base portion define a space which enables said tubular part of said sub-seal to readily turn.
