   Zack: Like the top but not sure if this is the right one for my WWII Jeep?

   It’s the right style, but it won’t work on a MB/GPW because of the way it connects to the CJ-2A windshield. Check out the connectors along the top of the windshield.

   Beachwood makes a variety of tops and accessories for all kinds of jeeps.

   Canvas tops connect the same way to the MB/GPW as they do to the early CJ2As. They use Capstan nuts, there were two different types available that determines the size of the hole in the canvas, all later MBs and all early CJ2As used the same capstan. It wasn’t until the change to the single piece glass windshield on the later 2As and the 3As that the canvass attached differently using a slip through channel that the canvass slides through from side to side.

   This top will work on a CJ2A as it is seen here with the split windshield using Mb type bows. If you try to use it on an MB/GPW you will have problems with the Jerry can and the spare tire holder. Notice there are no cutouts for them as the CJ do not have them mounted on the rear.

   Zack: Cool, thanks for the link. 🙂 I did not think the CJ-2/A was that different from the MB/GPW, that would explain why the after market top I have now does not fit well.

   For some reason I thought they connected differently … Thanks for correcting me Steve.

   Zack: The after market top I have goes to a CJ3A/B but I do have the flat glass windshield from a CJ3A on my Jeep. Also, I didn’t think that the CJ2/A was much different from the MB/GPW. 🙂
