Stinson, are you after an original, or a repro ? And where are you located.

I believe it's short...for an 42 willys slat grill. If I could figure out how to send a pic on this I would:(

Try WeeBee Webbing.....or Farrell Fox here on the gee for replacements.
NOS originals aren't growing on trees any longer.

A 42 slat should have the normal height windshield.

Did you check Jeepdraw? While a '42 Willys would have a standard height windshield, you need to find out which you have before ordering one.

No idea about the exact measurements; can you post a pic of your windshield?

Stinson, the height of a 42 Slattie is 23 inches, as it was for the rest of the jeep production run. Hope this helps. :D

Hi Stinson,
I purchased my Repro from Beachwood Canvas and they did a great job. I get a lot of compliments on it at displays. Color and fit are great.
I sent a PM to you about posting pictures. Welcome to the "G"!

There is also the issue if it is and Army MB or USMC/Canadian as they are a little different.

Is this the MB you bought at Tower Park?

What does the Name plate on the dash say?

You can send me a photo of it and I will post it for you!
