Willys CJ2A Windshield Types
about the undocumented 3rd windshield

|
The Willys parts lists show 2 different windshield assemblies for CJ2A.
The early windshield is MB style, w/straight inner adjusting arms, and no center locking latch. The later windshield has the lollipop inner adjusters and center lock.
From known windshields, there's a third, intermediate style, combining some of both earlier and later attributes.
These tables show the major parts distinguishing the windshield styles. Color coded for visualization.
This first table was compiled straight from the Willys parts list. It clearly outlines 2 distinctly different windshields with all changes occurring at s/n 15304.

My first thought was that the inner windshield frame had been replaced, but that turns out not to be the case. The pieces involved in this configuration are attached to either outer or inner frame, in combination or exclusively.
- The backtop bumper and hinge felt are part of the outer frame, not inner.
- The lock striker is part the outer frame, but it's not there, and there's no holes for attaching it.
- The adjusting arm glass frame bracket is not the same on the 2 types windshield.
The highest VIN I know of with the intermediate style is 16489. The lowest VIN I know of that conforms fully w/the later style (orange color code) is 21654. That's a range of 5165 unknowns.
If your VIN is in that range,
!
Photos below identify all the different bits & pieces I need to collect data for. Let me know what combinations you have.
