Alfa Romeo 147 rear window price, by year
Variation in replacement costs for the 147 is primarily driven by the integrated brake-light circuit and solar-control coating, both of which require matched glass specifications. Earlier 2000–2002 models and later 2003–2004 models are typically similar in parts availability, though sourcing may affect lead times.

What to expect during your Alfa Romeo 147 rear window replacement
Booking your Alfa Romeo 147 rear window replacement takes just a few straightforward steps.
- 1
Answer a short online quiz about your 147 — year, body style, and any visible features — to identify the exact variant.
- 2
Receive an instant quote tailored to your glass specification, including the solar-control and brake-light elements.
- 3
Choose a fitting time that suits you — mobile at your address or a local workshop, depending on your preference.
- 4
Your matched technician completes the replacement, typically in 30–60 minutes, removing the shattered original glass and fitting the new panel.
- 5
A shattered rear window means shard cleanup is part of the job; your fitter will clear what's accessible, though we recommend a professional valet afterwards for thorough interior detailing.
- 6
Your new glass is covered by a two-year warranty against defects and workmanship issues.
From quote to completion, the process is designed to be simple — book online and let our network of local technicians handle the rest.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your 147?
The Alfa Romeo 147 (2000–2004) does not feature camera-based driver-assistance systems, so rear window replacement is straightforward and does not require ADAS calibration. Mobile fitting at your address is the default option — your technician will arrange a convenient time and complete the job on your driveway or at a location of your choice.
Workshop fitting is available if you prefer a controlled environment, particularly if weather conditions are poor or if you'd like the vehicle left with the technician for other work.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Brake Light1
2000–2004A brake light integrated into the rear window glass itself, requiring a matching replacement to reconnect the original lighting circuit.
What it means
A brake light integrated into the rear window glass is a lighting element built directly into the glass panel during manufacturing. Rather than using a separate lamp cluster mounted to the vehicle body, the light circuit is routed through conductive elements — typically a silkscreen pattern, wire network, or bracket assembly — embedded in or bonded to the glass itself. When you brake, this integrated light illuminates to warn following traffic. It combines functionality with design integration, reducing the number of separate components on the rear of the vehicle.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's rear window for a visible pattern of fine lines or wires running across the glass, usually near the top edge or spanning the upper portion. Look at your vehicle's manual or contact your dealer's service centre — they can confirm whether your rear window carries an integrated brake light. If you see a separate brake-light cluster mounted to the bodywork instead, your vehicle does not have this feature.
Replacement impact
The replacement rear window must carry the identical integrated brake-light pattern so the original lighting circuit reconnects without modification. The conductive elements — whether silkscreen, wiring, or bracket fittings — must align precisely with the vehicle's electrical connections. Using a standard rear window without this pattern would disable the brake light. We source the correct OE-specification glass to ensure a seamless fit and restore full functionality.
Green1
2000–2004Green tint reduces glare and improves visual comfort by filtering certain light wavelengths.
What it means
Green tint is a light-filtering coating applied to the glass during manufacture. It absorbs and reduces transmission of certain wavelengths of light, primarily to cut glare from sunlight and reflections. The tint is subtle — often barely visible to the naked eye — but measurably improves visual comfort during prolonged driving, particularly in bright conditions. It's a factory specification chosen by the vehicle manufacturer to balance daylight comfort with interior visibility and aesthetic consistency across all glass in the vehicle.
How to tell
The easiest way to check is to roll your side window halfway down and hold a piece of white paper behind it. Look carefully for a tint cast — green tint will appear as a subtle green hue compared to clear glass. Your windscreen will have the same tint as your side windows. You can also ask your vehicle's dealership or service centre — they'll have the original specification on file.
Replacement impact
Green-tinted replacement glass must match the original tint specification to maintain visual consistency across all windows and preserve the vehicle's interior aesthetics. Aftermarket OE-equivalent (OEE) green-tinted glass is widely available, though some vehicles may require original equipment (OEM) dealership glass if the tint specification is proprietary. Tint does not affect calibration, cure time, or installation procedure — it's a cosmetic and functional specification only.
Heated Rear Windscreen1
2000–2004Heated rear windscreen with integrated wires clears mist and ice when you switch on the demister.
What it means
A heated rear windscreen contains fine heating wires embedded within the glass. When you activate the rear demister, an electrical current passes through these wires, warming the glass and melting ice or condensation. This feature is particularly useful in cold or damp weather, improving rear visibility quickly. The heating grid is integral to the glass and connected to your vehicle's electrical circuit via connectors at the base of the windscreen.
How to tell
Look at the rear windscreen from inside the vehicle — you will see a fine grid of horizontal lines across the glass, typically bronze or copper in colour. On the dashboard or steering wheel stalk, there will be a dedicated rear-demist button, usually marked with a windscreen symbol and heating lines. If in doubt, ask your vehicle's service centre or consult your handbook.
Replacement impact
Replacement rear windscreens with heated grids are widely available as original-equipment aftermarket or dealership parts. The new glass must include the factory heating grid and electrical connectors intact. The technician will reconnect the heating circuit to your vehicle's rear-demist switch. Heated rear windscreens are bonded glass, so adhesive cure time applies; drive-away time will be confirmed by the fitter on the day.
Solar Control1
2000–2004Solar control glass absorbs infrared rays to reduce heat and improve cabin comfort.
What it means
Solar control is a coating applied to the windscreen that absorbs the sun's infrared radiation rather than allowing it to pass through into the cabin. This reduces solar heat gain, helping to keep the interior cooler and more comfortable, particularly in warm weather or direct sunlight. The coating is transparent to visible light, so it doesn't darken the windscreen or affect visibility. It's a passive thermal management feature that works continuously whenever the sun is shining on the glass.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's specification sheet or contact your dealership service centre to confirm whether solar control glass is fitted. Some manufacturers list it as 'solar control windscreen', 'heat-reflective glass', or 'thermal management glass'. It's a factory-fitted feature and won't be visibly obvious from outside the car — the coating is integral to the glass itself.
Replacement impact
Solar control glass is a factory-fitted specification. When replacing the windscreen, a solar control variant must be sourced to match the original. This is a standard glass type with no special fitting implications or calibration requirements. Cure and drive-away times follow normal windscreen bonding procedures. Confirm with your fitter that the replacement glass includes solar control to maintain the original thermal performance.
About the Alfa Romeo 147
The Alfa Romeo 147 was produced from 2000 to 2004 as a compact hatchback, delivering Italian styling in a practical three- or five-door format. Its rear window is a toughened glass panel that sits at the back of the cabin, integral to the vehicle's structural rigidity and rear visibility.
The 147's rear glass incorporates a green-tinted finish — a subtle but consistent feature across the production run — along with solar-control coating to reduce cabin heat. A high-level brake light is integrated into the rear window itself, so your replacement glass must carry the same integrated pattern to reconnect the original lighting circuit cleanly.
