The invention claimed is: 1. A door structure comprising: a door installed capable of opening and closing a door opening part of a vehicle body; a decorative member attached to a surface of the door which faces an outside of a vehicle; a sealing member arranged along an end part of the door which faces an outside of the door, and sealing the door opening part, wherein the sealing member includes: a base part which extends in a front-rear direction and in an upper-lower direction; a seal lip part which extends from an end portion of the base part which faces the outside of the door, and is formed in an arc shape which curves convexly toward the outside of the door, the seal lip part including an elastic contact part which gets into elastic contact with the vehicle body; a sealing part which extends toward the outside of the vehicle from the end portion of the base part which faces the outside of the door; and an attachment part attached to the door, the attachment part formed in a position on the base part near an inside of the door, the sealing part includes a thick part which becomes thicker toward the inside of the door, and which is inserted into a gap formed between the end part of the door which faces the outside of the door and an end part of the decorative member which faces the outside of the door, the sealing member is biased toward an inside of the vehicle, the door is installed turnable to and away from the vehicle body, and the elastic contact part is closer to the outside of the door than a turn center of the door. 2. The door structure according to claim 1 , wherein the thick part becomes continuously thicker toward the inside of the door. 3. The door structure according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic contact part is located closer to the inside of the vehicle and closer to the outside of the door than the attachment part, and the gap is located closer to the outside of the vehicle than the attachment part is. 4. The door structure according to claim 3 , wherein the elastic contact part is located closer to the inside of the vehicle than a turn center of the door is. 5. The door structure according to claim 3 , wherein the sealing member includes a planar part which connects the attachment part and the thick part. 6. The door structure according to claim 1 , wherein the decorative member includes a design side part which crosses the end part, forming the gap, of the decorative member which faces the outside of the door, and which constitutes an outer surface of the decorative member, and the thick part is inserted into the gap, and a distal end of the thick part is spaced from the design side part.
