Installation notes
The wing screw is tightened by hand through the bow hinge. Tighten hand-tight — overtightening is not necessary and may damage the thread. Check the hinge fit before tightening.
Compatibility
Please note: On Willys vehicles, WO-A-2214 was specifically for the bow. Ford used FM-GPW-5182 as 'hook' in combination with the bow construction. Not to be confused with the windscreen pivot screw (A-2214 for windscreen), which has a different application.
Historical context
During WWII, the U.S. Army designed the jeep with removable canvas structures that could be quickly assembled by hand. Wing screws such as the WO-A-2214 made this possible without tools in the field.
