Abstract
An inner weatherstrip is attached to a flange formed on an upper edge of a door panel. The flange is formed with a protrusion portion protruding toward a vehicle inside by cutting and raising a part of the flange to protrude toward a vehicle inside and having a contact surface. On the other hand, a vehicle inside sidewall portion of the inner weatherstrip is formed with a positioning surface by recessing a part facing the protrusion portion toward the vehicle inside. When the inner weatherstrip is attached to the flange, the positioning surface is in contact with the contact surface.
