Which designation refers to the posts located behind the rear doors or rear passenger compartment windows?

• A. A Posts
• B. B Posts
• C. C Posts
• D. D Posts

Answer: (C)

The posts behind the rear doors are the C-pillars. As you move from front to back on a four-door vehicle, the A-pillar sits at the front near the windshield, the B-pillar is between the front and rear doors, and the C-pillar sits behind the rear doors and supports the rear window area. Some vehicles also have a D-pillar at the very rear, but the posts directly behind the rear doors are the C-pillars. This naming helps you identify structural supports quickly, especially during vehicle rescue or stabilization work.
