In vehicle structure, which post is closest to the windshield?

• A. A post
• B. B pillar
• C. C pillar
• D. Roof post

Answer: (A)

The front pillar is the part that forms the edge of the windshield and supports the roof, making it the closest structural element to the glass. This is the pillar that sits right beside the windshield and ties into the roof structure, so it’s the forward-most vertical support in the cabin. The B-pillar sits behind the front door between the front and rear doors, farther back from the windshield. The C-pillar is even farther back, near the rear window. The roof post is along the top edge of the roof and isn’t as close to the windshield as the front pillar. So, the front pillar is the correct choice.
