Abstract
A vehicle pillar structure and a method for manufacturing a vehicle pillar in which, in a pillar framework, a member is easily disposed on a surface facing a transparent panel in an overlapping manner, while reducing the width of the pillar framework, and a corner butt portion on the side of the transparent panel has increased welding accuracy are provided. A flange of an outer panel and a flange of an inner panel are welded by spot welding. An end surface of a front end of the inner panel is butted against an inner surface end of the outer panel, and is welded thereto by laser welding, such that welding beads are thereby linearly formed at established intervals.
