Pricing for the 156 rear window is consistent across the model's lifespan, with variation driven mainly by glass specification — specifically the antenna integration. The antenna connector and print pattern must match your original factory specification to ensure radio reception works correctly after fitting.

Booking a rear-window replacement for your 156 is simple and takes just a couple of minutes online.
Answer a short quiz about your 156's year and trim to confirm the exact glass specification you need.
Receive an instant quote and book at a time that suits you — mobile fitting at your address or at a workshop, your choice.
Our parts-check team verifies the replacement glass matches your factory spec, including the antenna connector.
On fitting day, your fitter removes the shattered rear glass and installs the new one — typically 30–60 minutes of their time. A shattered window means shard cleanup is part of the job; your fitter will remove what's accessible, though small shards can lodge in places needing deeper detailing.
After fitting, we recommend a professional valet to ensure any remaining glass fragments are thoroughly cleaned from the interior.
Your replacement comes with a two-year warranty covering workmanship and glass quality.
Book through UK Car Glass and you're matched with a technician in your area, backed by our network's two-year warranty.
Rear-window replacement for the 156 is typically carried out mobile at your address, since no ADAS calibration is required. Mobile fitting is the default — your fitter arrives with the replacement glass and completes the job at your home or workplace.
If you prefer a workshop setting or have limited space, you can choose workshop fitting at booking. Either way, the process is quick and your technician confirms you're ready to drive once the adhesive has properly cured.

An aerial laminated into the windscreen or rear window restores radio, DAB or TV reception without a roof-mounted mast.
An antenna is a conductive print laminated into the glass during manufacture, typically used for radio, DAB (digital audio broadcasting) or television reception. It replaces the traditional roof-mounted aerial mast found on older vehicles. The antenna is integrated into the glass interlayer and connected to the vehicle's receiver unit via a connector embedded in the glass edge. This design offers a cleaner aesthetic, reduces wind noise, and eliminates the vulnerability of a protruding mast to damage or theft.
Check your vehicle's roof — if there is no visible aerial mast, your car likely has a laminated antenna. You can also ask your dealer or service centre whether your windscreen or rear window carries an antenna print. The connector may be visible on the glass edge or inside the door frame trim.
When replacing glass with a laminated antenna, the replacement must carry the matching antenna print and connector to restore reception immediately on fitting. Aftermarket or original-equipment glass with the correct antenna specification is essential; a plain replacement will leave you without radio or DAB signal. Our fitters verify the antenna specification during booking and source the correct variant before the appointment.
Green tint reduces glare and improves visual comfort by filtering certain light wavelengths.
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.
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.
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 windscreen with integrated wires clears mist and ice when you switch on the demister.
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.
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 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.
The Alfa Romeo 156 was in production from 1998 to 2005, serving as Alfa Romeo's mid-sized saloon across a single generation. Rear windows on the 156 are toughened glass and come equipped with an integrated antenna for radio reception, a feature that must be matched on replacement to restore the vehicle's audio reception.
The 156 predates the ADAS era — it carries no camera systems or driver-assistance features. Rear-window replacement is therefore straightforward, focusing on glass-type matching and antenna continuity rather than calibration complexity.
