PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve sealing between a wheel arch and a wheel arch protector, and also enhance rigidity of the protector. SOLUTION: The wheel arch protector 30 for covering the wheel arch 18 for a rear wheel 16 which is mounted on a trailing edge of a side door 13 includes a protector body 31 formed of a polymer material, and a sealing part 41 formed of a polymer material which is easier to elastically deform than that of forming the body. The body consists of a mount board 32, an extending board 33, and an expanding portion 34. The extending board extends outward in a vehicle width direction from one end 32b of the mount board. The expanding part expands to an inside corner at a corner 37 between the mount board and the extending board, and has a hollow part 34a. The sealing part consists of a base end 42 formed on a vehicle inside surface 32d of the mount board, and a lip 43 formed with the base end. The base end is positioned apart from the hollow portion to the other end 32c side of the mount board. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
