The same car manual. Here it talks about these special windscreen wipers that are hidden in the "montante".
Is this "mullion" or does "mullion" only have to do with doors?
Again thanks.
P.S. VERY URGENT

pillar
My automotive dictionary gives "pillar" for montante.
I think this is specifically what's called the "A pillar":
Either of the front pillars that support the windshield, the
front of the roof, and door hinges. Also called windshield pillar or A-post.

Pillar/Post
Identified by the letters A,B,C,D (A pillar being the foremost or windscreen pillar), as they move rearwards through the
greenhouse, the vertical (almost always angled) members of the bodywork support the roof, the equivalent of glazing bars in architecture. Montante in Italian.
(and montante in Spanish, too).

body
If we are discussing cars, it seems to refer to the wipers located into the body. BODY is usually a regular term for this devices. Good luck.
