B pillar is inbetween front and rear window

cracking was a common problem on corsas, especially pre 97 i believe. Its not a sign that urs has been crashed or anything, but the chassis has weakened.

Needs to be professionally cut and rewelded from behind. Quite pricey when u include spraying and stuff!

a pillar - front windscreen
b pillar - just infront of rear quarter window
c pillar - rear quarter panel upto roof

if cracked - MOT failure (within 12 inch of seatbelt mounting point)
will require welding and respray!!!!

yep i just touched mine up - as a student cant afford welding etc.

I just sanded paint right off, and used touch up primer and colour to make sure that paint wouldnt flake. Then t-cutted to ensure colour wernt too far out.
