Model: Alfa Romeo 156 MK 1 - Years 1997-2007
Part: Side window

This guide shows how to dismantle the electric window regulator of the Alfa Romeo 156. After removing the inner door panel on the side you are working on, proceed with the disassembly. To replace it, you need to remove the soundproofing panel without damaging it. Disconnect the glass clamp and remove it from the regulator. With the glass pulled into the closed position, secure it with tape. Disconnect the power cable of the motor. Unscrew the mounting bolts of the guide and motor using a 10 mm hex key.
