Second Hand Alfa Romeo 155 Sunroof

Yes, a factory sunroof was available on the Alfa Romeo 155 as an option on certain trim levels, so used sunroof assemblies do exist in the breakers market. The 155 was produced from 1992 to 1997 as a saloon only, and sunroofs were offered across that production run as an optional fitment rather than standard equipment. Because it was an option rather than standard, not every 155 will have had one, but the glass panel, cassette, and surround are genuine used parts you can source from a dismantler.

The Alfa Romeo 155 received a facelift in 1995 which updated various exterior panels and interior details, and it is not certain whether the sunroof cassette or surround pressing changed between the pre-facelift and post-facelift cars. Because mid-generation pressing changes are a real possibility, you should confirm directly with the breaker that the donor car's registration matches your own before purchasing. Quoting your full registration to the breaker is the safest approach here.

No — engine choice and trim level do not affect sunroof fitment on the 155, as the roof pressing and sunroof aperture are the same regardless of whether you have a Twin Spark, V6, or any other engine variant. The 155 was only ever offered as a saloon, so body style is not a variable to worry about here either. Focus your conversation with the breaker on the year of the donor car relative to the 1995 facelift, as that is the most likely source of any panel difference.

A complete used sunroof assembly from a 155 breaker should ideally include the glass panel, the sliding cassette mechanism, the headlining trim surround, and the drain tubes if possible. Some breakers will supply just the glass or just the frame, so be specific about what you need when requesting your quote. If your sunroof motor has failed, ask whether the donor car's motor is confirmed working before agreeing a price.

The 155 sits on the Fiat Tipo platform and shares architecture with models such as the Alfa 145 and 146, but the roof pressing and aperture dimensions differ between these body styles, so a direct swap from another model is not straightforward. Cross-model fitment is something you should raise explicitly with an experienced Alfa breaker, who can measure and compare before committing. Do not assume platform-sharing equals panel compatibility without that confirmation.
