    Did Willys ever put a venting windshield on a CJ3B. Fellow I work with is working on a 2A and it had this on it.
    He bought a new tub kit with a windshield frame. It is in rough shape. Not sure if I can make anything out of it or not.

    I would add that there was similar system on our Citroen traction avant, 1952.
    When hot you could open a bit the windshield by turning a central screw.
    And if rain rapidly c!ose it ! It comes to my memory...

    Definitely did. There is some info the CJ3B page. I have my eye on one near me, I will probably have to buy the complete jeep (rough) to get it.

    There was def a 3b venting windshield. It was factory I've seen one. Agreed thst is a 2a windshield though. The 3b venting windshield was similar to the 5.

    I think DeBellas Jeep might still have NOS CJ3b/606 venting windshields.
    The CJ2a’s had square corners on the top of the frame, the CJ3 variants had rounded top corners.
    Lots of 2a’s have been retrofit with the 3a/3b frames.

    You might appreciate this. CJ2A windshield on the bottom, CJ3B (to the best of my knowledge) windshield on the top, stainless steel in the middle.

    Thats either a home-made “extension”, or a 3a windshield frame. I’ll go with the home made version.
