Abstract

A body for a vehicle includes an A-pillar defining a C-channel along a first surface of the A-pillar. The body further includes a support disposed within the C-channel and defining a shape matching the C-channel to mate the support along an entirety of the first surface via pre-formed spot welds aligned with the first surface. The welds are defined along a single plane being parallel to the first surface, wherein the welds are spaced to secure the support within the C-channel to form flush contact between the support and the first surface.
