CLIP WINDSHIELD RUBBER/BODY M201
WOA2489
Windscreen rubber to body clip
Hotchkiss M201 specific fixing system
Metal fixing clip for mounting the windscreen rubber to the body. This is a specific M201 feature: whilst the Willys MB and Ford GPW used flat head screws for fixing the lower windscreen rubber, Hotchkiss applied clips for improved sealing and easier assembly.

Features
- Specific to Hotchkiss M201 windscreen rubber mounting
- Fixes the thicker M201 windscreen rubber to the body
- Replacement for original clip fixing (not compatible with MB/GPW screw fixing)
- Part of the improved sealing system Hotchkiss applied
- Original part number: WOA2489
★ A characteristic difference between the M201 and its American predecessors: this clip is part of the improved sealing system developed by Hotchkiss for better protection against moisture and dust.
Application
Exclusively for Hotchkiss M201 (1955-1967). The M201 used a thicker windscreen rubber with clip fixing instead of the flat head screws used by the Willys MB and Ford GPW. This clip is not interchangeable with MB/GPW fixing systems.
Installation notes
The clips fix the rubber to the pre-drilled holes in the body beneath the windscreen frame. The M201 rubber is thicker than the original MB/GPW rubber for improved sealing. When replacing, check that all clips are intact to guarantee weatherproofing.
Compatibility
Only suitable for Hotchkiss M201 with original M201-type windscreen rubber. Not compatible with Willys MB or Ford GPW, which use a different fixing system with screws. If fitting M201 rubber to an MB/GPW, modifications to the body are required.
Historical context
Hotchkiss introduced various improvements to the original MB design from 1955 onwards. The thicker windscreen rubber with clip fixing was one of the modifications to improve durability and sealing for use by the French Army.
