Nope. Unfortunately, 3 piece. The StarShip is unique in that it has 4 "A" pillars.
Because "B" pillars are always behind the driver and passenger's head, I have called our 4 pillars that are forward of the "B" pillars, "A1" and "A2" pillars.
The "A2" pillars are in the normal "A" pillar location. The "A1" pillars are mounted inboard somewhat, closer to the longitudinal centerline, but still outside of the driver and passenger's normal line-of-sight.
The glazing between the "A1" pillars is normal AS1 safety glass. Gotta be legit and legal with the feds and others. All glazing rearward of the "A1" pillars are AS4 Lexan (polycarbonate) hard-coated with sprayed plasma.
