The glazing and the seals of the Alfa Romeo GT Bertone provide clear vision, a tight body and a clean appearance of the closed coupé. They thus belong directly to the safety, comfort and value retention of the vehicle. As a manufacturer, supplier and spare parts specialist for classic Alfa Romeo parts, we carry the glass and the related seals for all versions of the Bertone coupé. As the Bertone, being a closed body, has a windscreen, a rear window and fixed side windows, its glazing differs clearly from the open Spider. Important is the correct assignment to the series and the desired tint, as there is glass in a clear and a tinted version. Ordering by the Bertone name alone easily leads to unsuitable parts, the wrong tint and avoidable returns, whereas stating series, year and tint allows a reliable selection. The following overview shows how the product groups of the glazing and the seals relate to one another.
Model and series reference
On the GT Bertone the glazing is divided into the windscreen and rear window as well as the side windows. The windscreen and the rear window are offered clear or green tinted, the rear window is also available heated with a built-in heating depending on the version. The side windows include the wind-up door windows, the front quarter windows with hinge and adjusting lever as well as the rear vent windows, which are clear or green tinted depending on the version. Anyone who knows the series, the year and the desired tint can compile windscreen, rear window, wind-up windows, quarter windows, vent windows and the matching seals precisely and without wrong orders. Tint, heated or unheated rear window and the version of the windows are decisive here. Anyone who knows these points on their vehicle exactly can assign the matching parts reliably and extend them step by step. As glass and seal are matched to one another, they should be regarded as a coherent unit.
Shared across the range or model dependent
The glazing of the Bertone follows the closed coupé shape and differs from that of the open Spider, which has neither a fixed rear window nor rear vent windows. It would be wrong to assume that glass and seals are freely interchangeable between Spider, GT Bertone and Giulia, since the shape and arrangement of the windows depend on the body. Within the Bertone versions many panes and seals are similar across the years, but the tint of the panes and the heated rear window differ by version. Common is the division into front, rear and side, but the specific version follows the desired tint and the year. Anyone wishing to use glass from another stock should therefore check carefully whether it suits the coupé shape, the series and the tint, since the glazing of the coupé demands its own parts. So the division into front, rear and side is similar, but shape, tint and fixing follow the closed coupé shape.
Part types and product groups
The range for glazing and seals is divided into several groups. These include the windscreen and the rear window in a clear or green version, the wind-up door windows, the front quarter windows with hinge and adjusting lever as well as the rear vent windows. Added to this are the windscreen seals for front and rear, the seals of the quarter windows as a set for left and right, the seals of the hinges of the front quarter windows, the side seals and the related trim strips and fixings. There are also small parts such as the adjusting lever for the quarter windows and sealing rubbers, which are easily overlooked during a repair but are important for a tight and clean glazing. The heated rear window is also a separate version and should suit the desired equipment. These groups cover the entire glazing from the windscreen via the side windows through to the rear window and the seals and can be selected by series and year, so that a step-by-step repair remains easy to plan and individual parts can be exchanged one after another. As clear vision and tight glazing belong to the safety and comfort of the coupé, a careful selection of the glass and seals has a particular importance here.
Differences by year, series or version
The most important difference lies in the tint of the panes and in the heated or unheated rear window. Windscreen and rear window come clear or green tinted, the wind-up windows and the rear vent windows likewise clear or green tinted. The front quarter windows are offered with hinge and adjusting lever, with their own seals for the window and for the front hinge to match. Anyone ordering parts should therefore state series, year and the desired tint as well as the question of the heated rear window so that glass, seals and trim strips match. Even with apparently similar panes a close look is worthwhile, because small differences in shape, tint and fixing decide whether a part fits without adaptation and the glazing in the end fits tight and clean. Anyone renewing the glazing should therefore choose the coherent parts of one tint and one year rather than mixing glass and seals of different versions.
Notes on selection
For a reliable selection it is advisable to determine the series and the year of the Bertone before ordering and to decide whether clear or tinted panes and whether a heated rear window are desired. A photo of the windows, above all the front quarter windows, helps with assigning hinge and adjusting lever and avoids queries when ordering. The windscreen seals should be ordered at the same time when changing the panes, as they ensure a tight fit, and with the quarter windows they are offered as a set for left and right. With mixed stock from several sources a comparison with the series-correct version is worthwhile so that the result stays tight, the tint is uniform and later rework is avoided. Anyone fully renewing the glazing should plan glass, seals and trim strips together from the start and select them to match the tint and the year. As a manufacturer and spare parts specialist we advise on the correct assignment and supply both original parts and high-quality reproductions, so that even older vehicles can be fully restored.
