Title: 159 Ti mystery parts
Post by: Alfa-mad on April 27, 2020, 08:45:46 PM
Hey guys I was taking out my spare tyre and found a couple of plastic parts laying underneath, no idea what they are for, any ideas?

They look like the bits that go under the front seats parallel to the runners on the outside.  The hole locates them at the rear of the seat.  Easily kicked out by rear seat passengers.

Right you are! Had a look underneath and sure enough. I just need the 'hat' that clips over the locating stud which pokes through that hole. I won't have many back seat passengers so I'd put them back but sounds like they can be a problem for some.

So how much do you reckon the 'hat' will cost??  Possibly the same as the dimpled rubber little 'mat' that lives in the armrests at the bottom of the door pulls.  $$.

At least the hat might have a generic replacement!

If we are going to discuss the ridiculous price of tiny insignificant parts on Alfas we'll be up here all night!  ::)

;D ;D ;D

(How that for hi-jacking a subject!)   8)

Yeah maybe it isn't sold separately, maybe its part of a package. You know, buy the car and get the hat free.

And all are known to disappear into the vacuum cleaner! 

Tip -- double-sided tape on the 'mats'.  $29 apiece from memory.
