The B-Pillar is one of up to four different types of structural supports that make up a vehicle. Every type has an A-, B-, and C-Pillar. Longer models such as full-size SUVs also have a D-Pillar.
The B-Pillar is a vertical roof support piece that is positioned between the front and rear doors. You can see this one from the outside, but it is covered by a trim. Some models can get the stainless steel version (pictured), which is resistant to UV damage and corrosion. Please keep in mind that this piece is eligible for exterior keypads if you want to add that.
The A-Pillar is located on both sides of the front windshield at the face of the vehicle. Meanwhile, C-Pillar is situated on either side of the rear window for support. All of these units hold the top of the car in place. Essentially, they connect the roof to the body.
In larger vehicles, C-Pillars are behind the rear doors, and D-Pillars support the back window. This is how manufacturers build wagons, crossovers, SUVs, and minivans.
No matter what year your Ford vehicle was manufactured, you most likely want to keep it looking as shiny and new as possible. One way to do this is to protect your paint job.
Aside from routinely washing and waxing, you should also shield the car, truck, van, or SUV from the elements. Sun exposure can slowly eat away at the protective urethane film that shields the coloured coating. Even strong winds can carry damaging particles through the air, which can lead to the wearing away of the exterior finish. If you don’t have access to a garage or carport, you should certainly invest in a full cover.
If damage has already occurred, then you may need to get a new layer of paint. If you notice chips, they need to be addressed quickly to ward off rust, which can cause much bigger problems down the road. You can also get a new self-adhering urethane film applied to the outside. This is usually used on the more vulnerable sections of the car such as the hood. It guards against minor abrasions. While it’s recommended to have this professionally installed, you can peel it off yourself.
If you own a 2017 to 2021 Ford F-250 or F-350 Super-Duty pickup, then you may want to add a tonneau cover to the bed.
This lightweight, durable component is designed to cover the truck’s box while simultaneously complementing the design of the vehicle. Battery-powered LED lights are provided for you to check on the payload at night, and the stainless steel lock prevents others from opening it. This one-piece hard cover is finished in Race Red.
