Help on 3d sketch!

Trying to connect the top 3 lines to the horizontal line and make them look like the 2 side lines for the a-pillar. I cant fillet them I have tried arc also.

How do i connect these lines to look like the side lines?

Thank you

I model out my shape with reference surfaces, then use intersection curve in 3D sketch to get the desired connections.

What you're technically creating is a spline. Since your arc is not crossing the the theoretical cylinder perpendicularly, you are creating an elliptic curve, which can not easily be made in 3D sketch without reference geometry.
