The A-pillar is the connecting pillar between the roof and the front compartment, located at the front left and front right of the vehicle. Generally, a car body has three pillars: the front pillar (A-pillar), the middle pillar (B-pillar), and the rear pillar (C-pillar), from front to back. In addition to providing support, these pillars also serve as door frames.
