a supporting portion provided between the holding portion and a second position of the inner surface of the outer peripheral portion, the second position being defined as a position to which the one end portion of the holding portion is not directly connected,
wherein the die molding portion has an inner space and an opening of the inner space that are defined between the outer peripheral portion and the holding portion such that, when the glass run is attached to the window frame, the end flange portion of the outer panel of the door is inserted into the inner space from the opening, and then the supporting portion is brought into abutment against a tip end of the end flange portion of the outer panel of the door,
wherein the supporting portion is provided in the inner space of the die molding portion and is continuously formed to cover a range in which a force to press down an outer surface of the outer peripheral portion of the die molding portion is applied, when the glass run is attached to the window frame, and
