Abstract:
A vehicle body (12) includes: a coupling recess (35) that couples an outer bottom member (42) with an outer top member (41) of an outer panel (37) of a vehicle body pillar (21); and a door seal cover (34) that covers the coupling recess (35). The door seal cover (34) comprises: a U-shaped body part (43) that has a U-shaped cross section and serves as a central portion; a U-shaped top lip (44) that extends upward from the body part (43); and a U-shaped bottom lip (45) that extends downward from the body part (43). A front top leading end (57), a front bottom leading end (58), a back top leading end (61), and a back bottom leading end (62 ) of seal contact surface sections (51, 54), which are firmly attached to door-side seal members (48, 49), are formed at step-free thicknesses.
