The front pillar area is part of the frame door opening panel. It's connected to the roof, windshield, door hinges and floor frame and is important as a support for the front side of the cabin. Connection of the front pillar determines the position of the windshield and front door. Align the fender, door and windshield while the front pillar is temporary mounted, and check the clearances and level differences.

Deformation of the roof panel is highly noticeable in terms of the vehicle's outer appearance. Before replacing the roof, make sure that the body is horizontal. Before welding the roof panel, adjust the frame door opening flanges so that they contact the roof panel. Pay particular attention to twists and parallelism.
