Soft Top & Accessories Parts Willys M38A1
Soft Tops, Doors, Grab Bars & Mirrors for Reliable Weather Protection (1952–1971).
Why the Soft Top and Accessories on the Willys M38A1 Wear Out Especially Fast.
Soft tops and accessories on the Willys M38A1 face constant exposure to wind, sun and moisture on an open 1950s and 60s military vehicle – wear here is the rule rather than the exception. The top material becomes brittle over the years, loses its tension and starts leaking at the seams, while the top bow frame wears loose or bends from repeated folding. Half doors and their latches wear down through daily use, and door handles stick or break. Grab bars and mirrors corrode, especially on vehicles stored outdoors, and loosen from constant vibration during off-road driving. The pintle hitch also suffers from rust and mechanical stress during towing or recovery work. Anyone looking to preserve their M38A1 in original condition or prepare it for off-road use should regularly check the condition and function of the soft top and accessories.
- Soft Tops & Top Frame: The soft top frame forms the foundation, while the classic Tigertop soft top or the rugged Supertop soft top in black, along with the Black Denim version, provide complete weather protection, rounded off by the summery bikini top.
- Half Doors & Door Handles: The complete half door kit and matching door handle kit ensure a secure closure and less wind noise inside the cabin.
- Grab Bars: The black grab bar or the polished stainless steel grab bar provide extra support when getting in and out.
- Mirrors: The black mirror set or the stainless steel mirror set, as well as the individual right and left mirrors, improve all-round visibility.
- Towing: The pintle hitch tow hook makes recovery and trailer towing in the field easier.
American Soft Top Expertise and Philippine Manufacturing Precision.
The soft top frame and pintle hitch come from MD Juan in the Philippines, while soft tops, half doors and the bikini top are manufactured by Bestop – one of the best-known American brand names for Jeep tops. Grab bars and the stainless steel mirror set are supplied by RT Off-Road, while the powder-coated mirror sets and individual mirrors come from Crown Automotive – both American heritage brands with decades of off-road experience.
