Abstract: A glass run includes an installation member and a body. The installation member couples to a frame of a door of an automobile. The body forms a channel to receive a door glass. An outer-cabin side of the installation member is extended in a direction away from the door to form an extended part. A base composed of hard resin higher in rigidity than the extended part attaches a decorative film to the extended part. The decorative film alongside of the base is bent toward an interior of the automobile, to cover an end surface of the extended part. Parts of upper and lower ends of the decorative film are removed by predetermined distance FL1, FL2 from the end surface of the extended part, to reduce a width in an upper and lower direction of a remainder part of the decorative film.
