Product description
Replacing a convertible rear window or rear window section? Choose clear visibility and a clean finish
Has the rear window of your Alfa Romeo GTV Spider 916, Spider convertible become cloudy or developed a tear? In many cases, replacement is the best solution. Often, there is no need to replace the entire convertible top. On various convertible models, it is possible to replace only the rear window or the rear window section. This is usually more cost-effective and technically the most logical solution when the rest of the soft top is still in good condition.
What is the difference between a rear window and a rear window section?
Not every convertible top is constructed in the same way. On many models, the rear window is attached to the top with a zipper. In that case, only the separate window can often be replaced. There are also multi-piece tops where the rear window is integrated into a separate rear window section. In this situation, you replace not only the window, but the complete rear section of the convertible top assembly.
When is replacement recommended?
A plastic rear window is exposed to a lot of stress. UV radiation, heat, cold, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical strain gradually cause the material to harden and become brittle. This often results in:
- Cloudy or milky spots.
- Small hairline cracks.
- Tears along the edges.
- Damage in the folding or bending area of the top.
Do you notice a combination of discoloration, small cracks, and tears? Then there is a good chance the material has reached the end of its lifespan. Replacing it helps prevent further damage and immediately improves rear visibility.
Not sure which version you need?
Not every Alfa Romeo convertible uses the same system. Therefore, carefully check whether your car is equipped with a separate zip-in rear window or a complete rear window section. Not sure which part is suitable for your convertible? Feel free to contact us for advice. This ensures you choose the correct solution right away and avoid unnecessary costs.Installation and advice

Why replacing only a rear window section is not always ideal
The rear window is usually the first part of a convertible top to fail. This often means that the rest of the top is already showing signs of wear as well. That is why we regularly recommend replacing the complete convertible top, especially when the top is older or already shows discoloration and hardening.
In addition, there is a high chance of color difference when replacing only the rear window section. The existing convertible top is often faded due to sunlight and weather exposure. As a result, a new section may visibly differ from the rest of the top.
