Sears CJ-2A Windshield Extension

Doug shared with me the windshield extension included by Sears when he purchased a soft top in 1971. So, if you see something similar, it was actually a third party modification!

He wrote, “Here are some pics of the windshield extension that came with the Sears full soft top that I purchased in approx. late 1979.I ordered the top for an MB/GPW, so it came with the extension. They sold the same top to fit a cj2a without using the extension. I remember going to a canvas/upholstery shop to have some help with  the doors. For some reason I could not install the doors without some professional help. Can’t recall why.I got home late that night! I was 17 at the time.”

    That’s exactly correct! It’s so cool to see another one of these! My father had one of these on his ’43 mb. I had always assumed that he made it. It looked just like that, but it wasn’t rusty. It looked new. I was 7 years old. That’s probably why. Wow, I’m old. That sucks. Moving on…

    Oh Todd, don’t let your age get to you. You’re still young at heart. Good morning

    You’re having a baby and mine is graduating next month. What the heck were our folks thinking…

    OK, Now going back to 1965, (How old am I?, old enough to know better) I remember a guy trying to fit a top without one of these extensions, just couldn’t be done, nobody wants that “baggy pants look”.

    They weren’t thinking. But it’s ok. I text your kids and you burp mine. It’s funny.

    I am not sure why the extension has the surface rust.My jeep has been kept inside or under a roof since I have owned it.Oh that’s right the jeep and I live in the rust belt!

    Chris: My oldest was a week late and they had to induce (he was born not too far away in Madison). He’s never been one to be in a big hurry 🙂 Good luck!!
