3A windshield vent
« on: January 24, 2012, 01:53:10 PM »
I have a CJ3A but the windshield does not have the vent. The outline is there but it is not cut out. I am planning to cut it out and use a 3A vent door, spring and handle. any suggestions?

You talked me into it, I'm tired of body work anyway.

It might be an M38 Windshield, just guessing

The M38 windshields have the vent panel in them but they were bolted shut with two straps over the exterior. I have a couple extra panels with handles I picked up at a swap meet. Send a PM if you need one and I'll send you a picture.

I have never seen a 3A windshield without the vent having been cut out.  I wouldn't mind have one like that.  I have never opened mine since the restoration project was completed more than three years ago.  However, I drive it only in the summer and do not have a top.  I don't need the vent.

There is another possibility, however it's very unlikely  ;)

The six pilot model M-38s did not have the center punched out.

Wow.  Now that would be one special windshield frame.  I would also like to see a photo.

Thanks Bill.
