Application
For WWII military jeeps as mentioned in the category. Fastens with press studs into the 7 body sockets around the door opening on the left side of the vehicle.
Installation notes
Requires 7 body sockets (A-3051) installed in the bodywork around the door opening. Press stud fastenings click into the sockets. With new canvas, some stretching may be necessary — dampen and carefully stretch to the desired size. Originally, these half doors were folded and stored under the front passenger seat with straps to footman loops.
Compatibility
Note: Ford GPW half doors traditionally have a cotton webbing edge, whilst Willys MB doors often had a moleskin edge. However, both types are interchangeable between MB and GPW vehicles. Check that all 7 body sockets are present and functional before fitting.
Historical context
Body side curtain half doors were standard equipment on WWII jeeps and provided protection against wind and weather without full winter enclosure. They were routinely folded and stored under the front passenger seat during the war along with the windshield cover and headlight covers.
