ABSTRACT:
A pillar construction for a vehicle body includes a steel pad formed from a resilient sheet steel and disposed between a pillar inner panel of a pillar main body and a pillar trim. In a secondary collision in which the pillar trim is subjected to a force directed outward of a vehicle body and deformed thereby, the steel pad produces a reaction force against deformation of the pillar trim at the initial stage of the secondary collision and substantially no reaction force at the final stage of the secondary collision.
