Yes, the answer to the question above is definitely yes, the sunroof can be installed on an Alfa Romeo 159. Of course, even though it is a manageable DIY job, it still requires some manual experience, as well as appropriate equipment. Once the aforementioned sunroof is placed on the roof of the vehicle, the exact measurement of the point to be cut is taken and the work begins: From inside the cabin, the fabric lining of the roof is cut, then the frame is cut with a portable grinder, the soundproofing is removed, and the final cut is made from the outside.

Now, an anti-rust treatment is applied with a brush, the frame is positioned, and finally the sunroof is installed by screwing it in. Now all that remains is to connect the electrical cables to control its opening and closing and test its operation.
