Where is the D-pillar located on a car?
1 Answers
D-pillars are located between the additional two pieces of glass at the rear of the car and the rear windshield, typically found only in station wagons and extended SUVs. Additional information is as follows: Function of D-pillars: D-pillars are not just metal columns supporting the roof of the passenger compartment; they also play a crucial protective role for passengers inside. In the event of a vehicle rollover or overturn, D-pillars can effectively prevent the passenger compartment from being crushed or deformed. Therefore, in the overall body structure, pillars are key components, and the rigidity and strength of D-pillars are of significant importance to the safety of occupants. In some high-end cars, the D-pillars, body, and frame are integrated, greatly enhancing safety. Locations of A/B/C/D pillars in a car: The A-pillar is at the junction of the front windshield and the front door (front door hinge area). The B-pillar is at the junction of the front and rear doors (rear door hinge area). In sedans, the C-pillar is at the junction of the rear door and the rear windshield (rear door and trunk area). For SUVs, MPVs, and other models with D-pillars, the C-pillar is located between the rear door and the small rear quarter window. D-pillars are generally found only in SUVs, MPVs, or some large vehicles, at the junction of the small rear window and the rear windshield.
