His point is that the pillar has to be solid and stationary which means it is on the body

Except that isn't the way the UK Chesil does their windup windows.  They put a strange post in the door that mates to the windshield. But they still use a Speedster windshield.

See the source image

On a D the rubber seal is on those taller windshield posts.  The red D replica I pulled from the internet has something red there - that probably should be black rubber but don't think it sticks out so prominently.   For the D posts to seal they need to be back in alignment with the front door edge - a Speedster windshield is a couple inches forward of the door opening.  I'd see what the hard top mates up to and go with that type windshield.
