You don't happen to have a full list of mods do you?... How did a new windshield help?

It wasn’t the windshield itself but the new cap strip. The last time the windshield was redone by a prior owner, they reused the cap strip but it was bent out of shape and sticking up a bit. Redoing the windshield this time, had a new cap strip flush riveted and blended in. Door jam was straightened and improved. Added the forward facing door pin mod from later years to improve door staying flush when closed. Added step fairing around the round step tube. Replaced and reinforced cowling. Aileron, elevator, and rudder gap seals. ELT antenna moved under dorsal fin. Composite inner gear doors and careful gear door rigging. A pillar body work. Smooth new paint brings it all together.

Understood everything but this?

Look at the smooth transition from the front frame to the door on the pics after paint and body work.

Thanks!  I was reading "a pillar" as "any ole pillar" instead of The "A" pillar.
