Hi. I wonder if someone is able to help, as I email a dealership but have yet to receive a response. Just a trivial glitch: the plastic triangular lock cover located on the driver's door on my 159 Lusso has come off whilst on transit. Can anyone advise the cheapest way to source the replacement or where to order it without visiting a dealership?

Trivial matter, I know. OCD is kicking in.

I attach a picture of part's location (indicated by red triangle)

Many thanks

Is there a cover? Wasn't on the Brera....

There isn't a cover - none of mine had one.

 

[MisterZ]

There was definitely one, though is a "mask" not covering the lock but the area surrounding it. It dropped off 3 days after purchasing the vehicle and I just clipped it back in place. This time must have dropped off whilst driving it.

 

[MisterZ]

Should have glued it in place!

 

[MisterZ]

De facto, from the image you can exactly see where it clips on (OCD major)

 

[MisterZ]

Comparative picture, zoom on driver's door and you'll see mask in place only revealing a circular lock rather than wider metal plate. http://www.cargiant.co.uk/Alfa_Romeo/159/details-512597-Alfa_Romeo-159.asp?viewtype=0

Minor detail

Just checked mine and indeed there is a little plastic cover that makes it look all neat and tidy.

Can quite see why you'd be upset about it. And it's not just getting the part, but colour coding it as well. What a PITA

ah, sorry I see what you mean now, I thought you meant the lock shouldn't be showing at all. I still can't help however.

Part found - locks looks ok again!

Hey, I found it this morning! Must have been knocked off by the chap valeting the vehicle (second time in 2.5years, as normally I do it myself).

He kept quiet and stashed in the glove compartment underneath some CDs! I attach pictures of part for future reference. Probably wise to use some loctite to make sure it does not come off again.

Many thanks for your responses

Mine fell off too, and I couldn't get it back in - kept coming loose. So I took it to the dealer and just as I was demonstrating how it wouldn't go back in - it clicked in perfectly and has stayed in ever since!

Just got a new bit ! Found it on eper under section 701 (door locks and windows) . Good news it only costs £4 , bad news - it will need painting .... £ depends on who you know!

Hi. I'm missing this part too. What is "eper" please?

 

[wynne71]

ePER seems to be a web site (older version) containing the part numbers and components for Fiat/Alfas, her is the link:

FIAT ePER

 

[Ed159]

Thanks.

Hopefully looking to resurrect some help on this thread.....

I've looked on the FIAT ePER website and I'm struggling to confirm and locate the drivers door lock plastic cover.

Any help would be appreciated guys, thanks!

Hey guys just resurrecting this thread as my local detailer lost mine. Any ideas where I can pick this up from? The above links are no longer valid. This is the only site I can find (in Greek) and the part is numbered '5':
ПРОБКА - запчасти Alfa Romeo и запчасти Lancia

I rang Mangoletsi Service Dept and described it. They identified the part instantly and were able to send me the part next day delivery. It needs painting. I ordered a can of spray paint online with correct paint code.
