The glazing and the seals of the Alfa Romeo Spider 105/115 provide clear vision, a tight body and a clean appearance of the open roadster. 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 the entire production period of the Spider. Since the glazing differs between the early and the later years and there is glass in various tints, the correct assignment to the series and the year is decisive. Ordering by the model 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 the individual series.
Model and series reference
On the Spider the glazing differs above all between the early years 1966 to 1969 and from 1970. The windscreen is offered, depending on the year, in a clear version or as a green-tinted pane with a green band at the upper edge. The wind-up door windows come clear as well as green or bronze tinted, likewise by year and desired tint. The quarter windows are offered left and right and differ by hinged or fixed version, where the hinged variant has a locking lever. Anyone who knows the year, the desired tint and the version of the quarter windows can compile windscreen, wind-up windows, quarter windows and the matching seals precisely and without wrong orders. Year, tint and the type 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.
Shared across the range or model dependent
The glazing of the Spider follows the open two-seater body and differs from that of the closed models of the range with their fixed roofs. 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 Spider years the windscreen, wind-up windows and quarter windows depend on year, tint and version, while commonalities exist above all with individual seals and fixings. With the hinged quarter windows it must be noted that this version can depend on the engine version, while other vehicles have a fixed quarter window. Anyone wishing to use glass from another stock should therefore check carefully whether it suits the series, the tint and the respective version of the Spider, since these points in particular were changed over the years.
Part types and product groups
The range for glazing and seals is divided into several groups. These include the windscreen in a clear or green version with a green band, the wind-up door windows in a clear, green or bronze tint as well as the quarter windows left and right in a hinged or fixed version. Added to this are the windscreen seal, the seals of the quarter windows, the door seals as well as the window channel seals of the wind-up windows and the related trim strips, clips and fixings. There are also small parts such as locking levers for the hinged quarter windows and sealing rubbers, which are easily overlooked during a repair but are important for a tight and clean glazing. The version of the windscreen with a green band is also year-dependent and should suit the series and the desired tint. These groups cover the entire glazing from the windscreen via the wind-up and quarter windows through to 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 are particularly important on the open vehicle, a careful selection of the glass and seals has a particular importance here.
Differences by year, series or version
The most important difference lies between the years 1966 to 1969 and from 1970 as well as in the tint of the panes. The windscreen comes clear or green with a green band, the wind-up windows clear, green or bronze tinted. The quarter windows differ by hinged or fixed version and are offered left and right in a matching tint. Anyone ordering parts should therefore state year, tint and the type of the quarter windows so that glass, seals and trim strips match and the glazing fits cleanly. 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 year and one tint rather than mixing glass and seals of different versions.
Notes on selection
For a reliable selection it is advisable to determine the year of the Spider before ordering and to decide whether clear or tinted panes are desired. A photo of the windows, above all the quarter windows, helps with assigning the hinged or fixed version and avoids queries when ordering. The windscreen seals and window channel seals should be ordered at the same time when changing the panes, as they ensure a tight and clean fit. 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 year and the tint. As a manufacturer and spare parts specialist we advise on the correct assignment and supply both original parts and high-quality reproductions in good quality, so that even older vehicles can be fully restored.
Frequently asked questions
Which tints are there for the panes?
The windscreen comes clear or green with a green band, the wind-up windows and quarter windows clear, green or bronze tinted, in each case by year.
Are the quarter windows hinged or fixed?
Both versions are offered, in each case left and right, the hinged variant with a locking lever can also depend on the engine version.
Do Spider panes also fit GT Bertone or Giulia?
No. Shape and arrangement of the windows depend on the body, the glazing is therefore model-dependent and not freely interchangeable.
Are there matching seals?
Yes. The windscreen seal, seals of the quarter windows, door seals and window channel seals are offered to match and should be ordered at the same time.
What details do I need for a reliable order?
Year, desired tint and the version of the quarter windows, that is hinged or fixed, if needed supported by a photo of the windows.
Do you offer reproductions?
Yes. Alongside original parts we carry high-quality reproductions in good quality, such as glass, quarter windows, seals and trim strips.
