Beautiful body, great paint for being original!
Is it standard for the windshield divider to be left out on the Mite? David

Is that am early CJ-5 windshield?

That thing looks like a great candidate for a little TLC.

No its a M38a1 windshield. This Mite came straight from Brian Cowdery and is in unrestored original condition,with title. Once reported to have belonged to the University of Minnesota

Just to clarify things, guys, I'm not the one who replaced this windshield. My guess is that the U of M replaced it at some point. I can picture the glass shop guy saying it would be cheaper and easier just to make one piece of glass.
