    Great video. I found nail varnish remover worked brilliantly on my 147 as per Neil at Italia Autos. This did the job quickly with no damage caused.

      Thanks, used nail varnish before, it works about the same as the alcohol, but I prefer alcohol since there is less chance for base coat damage... On my GT I used the heat gun, and got great results

    This is brilliant. I need to do this on my 156, both front door switches are so nasty.

    Brilliant video again although you΄ve made a similar video in the past for GT and 147 (I mean the same procedure). Really hope to enjoy your new Alfa and I wish not to forget us (147 owners)

      @@user-jk7yz3xs8z I cleaned those climate controls with 70% alcohol like ACR did on plastic parts and they came out perfect. You will easily remove that rubbery thing on them without messing up the markings and symbols (Those symbols and markings are almost impossible to remove so don't worry)

    Any advice on the 4-way switch if it comes loose and doesn’t engage with the mirror motors properly? I’ve had this issue in my Giulietta and I have to sometimes mess with it for a while or press really hard before it engages and the mirror adjusts. It also comes off completely sometimes. It’s one moulded piece of plastic and nothing has broken or snapped so not sure how to fix it. Thank you

    Hello fellow alfa comrade, ever since you've done the "can you fit 147 window controls to gt" test, i was thinking if there is an alternative to the whole windows electrical control, by that i mean changing the windows control module with one that.s more reliable, do you know if that is possible?

    Man these are my least favourite window switches. I can't believe they even found their way into the 4c. The Alfa 156 and 166 window switches have a much more aesthetically pleasing design.
