Some motorists use a variety of objects to remove the mirror element. It could even be all kinds of kitchen spatulas.

It often happens that the rear view mirror mount weakens and the mirror does not hold well, or in other words, falls off (you know, someone caught it while driving). It happens that the side mirror is broken or cracked - it needs to be replaced. The mirror angle adjustment drive will require repair.

Of course, contact a car service center, and they will attach a mirror to the area. If there is no service nearby, you will have to act independently. A rear-view mirror is important on the road: the driver can see the situation on the road in the viewing area behind the rear fenders and rear bumper. Mirrors on different brands of cars are different: internal mirror and side mirrors, regular, folding, electrically driven and others.

How to glue a car mirror to the windshield

First we need to decide on the glue that we are going to use.

What glue should I use?

The main rule: the glue holding the interior mirror to the windshield must be two-component. Yes, there are many varieties of all-purpose glue. But in this case, universal glue will not work. The fact is that two-component glue perfectly withstands sudden temperature changes, high humidity, and most importantly, vibration. Conclusion: the mirror element should not be glued with universal glue.

There is a second option: use light-curing glue. This is a substance that quickly “sets” when exposed to sunlight. This glue can be purchased at specialized auto stores. But it has a serious drawback: to work with it, a powerful ultraviolet lamp is required, without which reliable bonding cannot be achieved. Some car enthusiasts claim that you can do without it, just sticking the mirror on a sunny summer day is enough. But such gluing cannot be called reliable.

The conclusion is simple: the best and least troublesome option for gluing a mirror is two-component glue. For example, Loctite 37438, which has become incredibly popular recently. By the way, it is sometimes used to glue DVRs that have a loose fastening device.

How to attach a mirror element

To keep the mirror securely on the windshield, you must follow the following algorithm:

Select the location for installing the mirror. It should be glued in the center of the glass, at the same distance from both the passenger and the driver.
The windshield is cleaned of dirt. First, this is done with a rag, then the surface of the glass is wiped with alcohol.
The mirror is disassembled as indicated above (after all, in fact, only the bracket on which the mirror will be installed needs to be glued to the glass).
A thin layer of glue is applied to the bracket and to the windshield. After this, you must wait at least 15 seconds.

Mounting the Device on a Bolt-On Bracket

Not all modern cars have interior mirrors glued to the windshield. In some cases, the mirror bracket is attached the old fashioned way: with bolts to the ceiling. In this case, you need to act like this:

The mirror together with the mounting bracket is installed in the ceiling niche and held by hand.

Replacing the Mirror Element of a VAZ 2110

How to change the mirror element on the rear view mirror of a VAZ- 2110

Some sources describing the replacement of the mirror element of the side rear view mirror on a VAZ-2110 car claim that this procedure is quite difficult, and there is a possibility of damage when replacing it. The opposite could be proven by the owner of a dozen, who independently decided to replace the broken spare part.

All this is nonsense - everything changes in 3 minutes! I froze for half an hour because I was in no hurry, waited for the garage to warm up and overcame my childish interest in dismantling vehicles))) Therefore, I removed the mirror completely... At the same time, I glued the triangle under the mirror from the inside with a piece of Shumka - now the wind does not whistle in the area of the mirror)))

Selecting and replacing mirrors on a VAZ 2114

To control the situation on the road, each car is necessarily equipped with rear-view mirrors.
Two are located outside on the sides or one more is located inside the cabin. As a result, the driver receives a 360-degree view. But it happens that the integrity of these mirrors is violated. This can happen as a result of an accident, banal looting, or some kind of accidental blow to them caused by the driver himself.

In any case, it is advisable for you to know how they are removed, disassembled, installed in place, adjusted and even insulated. Today our article will be devoted to these issues.

Price issue

First of all, we will orient you a little on the price tags that are presented on the market today.

The cost may vary depending on the manufacturer, technical features of the product and the region of its sales. Therefore, prices are average.

Mirror type

approximate cost

Outdoor heated

Obviously, the characteristics of the panoramic interior mirror provide a better view, and the presence of heated exterior mirrors provides comfort and does not require constant wiping. It is better to pay more, but buy new functional products.

Internal

Let's start with the rearview mirror installed inside your car.

Interior rear view element

There are several reasons why the driver will want or have to dismantle this element:

The desire to replace with a more advanced, new model;
Installation of electronics, parking sensors;
The glass or plastic case is damaged, broken and does not allow further use of the component;
There is a need to install sensors that are not included in the standard equipment of your car.

Replacement

Do not rush to remove the old mirror if you have not yet purchased a new product. Sometimes you have to wait for weeks because of the speed of delivery, and sometimes it’s enough to go to the market or store, where you will immediately find the desired product.

VAZ 2114 were produced until 2009, which requires the use of a standard type of fastening consisting of two bolts. This method of fixation has been used since 1976.

The downside of bolt-on mounting is the impossibility of installing an interior mirror from a foreign car. It’s good that there are many domestic products on the market that perfectly match the VAZ 2114.

You can start working.

Remove the plug from the bolts. Although it is not always present.
Holding the mirror body with one hand, begin to unscrew the mounting bolts with the other.
Remove the old mirror.
Check the condition of the seat and clean it.
If the old bolts are covered with rust, it is better to replace them with similar new ones.
Screw in the new mirror using the bolts.
Insert decorative plugs so that the bolt heads do not spoil the appearance of the interior.

The simplest fasteners
The bolts should be fixed as tightly as possible to avoid damage to the glass as a result of shaking and vibration.

Adjustment

The interior rear view mirror is tilt adjustable.

The ideal setting is when, when you look into it, you can see everything that is happening behind your car;
Some cars have high seats, which means you can see part of your ear and headrest in the reflection. This is a normal phenomenon, so there is no need to change the settings;
A panoramic product with backlighting is best suited for the role of a rear mirror, since the glass used is flat and there is no image distortion, which has a positive effect on safety.

Lateral

There can also be many reasons for removing side mirrors. But mainly this is replacement, painting or installing a heating system.

Regardless of the situation specifically with your VAZ 2114, the first thing you will have to do is remove the elements. How to do it?

Side mirrors

Dismantling

Removing side mirrors is not a difficult task. Here you only need a screwdriver to work. Perhaps not alone.

Pry off the plug located on the side mirror control knob.
Behind the plug there is a screw that needs to be unscrewed with a Phillips screwdriver.
Remove the triangular plug. In the case of the VAZ 2114, it is held in place by special clamps. So to remove it you need to carefully unscrew the latches. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry the plug and remove it without too much trouble.
Next, three mounting screws appear in front of you.
By unscrewing them, you will thereby remove the side mirror.
Do the same procedure with the second rear view element.

As you can see, removing the components is quite simple; simple fastening is provided. This is largely why they love domestic cars, since even a person without much experience can disassemble and assemble most components.

Dismantling process

Disassembly

It is not a fact that you will need to completely change the rear view element assembly. Therefore, it is necessary to figure out how to properly and accurately disassemble the side mirror.

There are several ways to do this, each of which has its own characteristics.

Press the inside of the plastic case and snap off the holders with a flat-head screwdriver. This method cannot be called reliable, since the probability of breaking the mirror itself is quite high.
The second method is even more risky because it involves quickly striking the glass onto the surface. Choose a soft surface, such as rubber. This will allow you to quickly and easily remove and disassemble the element. Strike lightly but quickly.
To replace the plastic housing or main fastener, you need to remove the adjusting rod and pin. Assembly is carried out in exactly the reverse order.

Heating

If you have driven foreign cars, especially in winter, you could appreciate all the delights of having heated exterior mirrors.

The VAZ 2114 does not have such an option, but this did not stop third-party manufacturers from producing a whole range of products equipped with heating.

Frankly speaking, it is much easier to spend about 800-900 rubles on buying a ready-made heated side mirror than to try to make the heating yourself. This is better in terms of reliability and safety.

The only peculiarity of the installation is that, unlike a conventional rear view element, you will need to not only install the housing on the seat, but also additionally connect the wiring to the power system of your car. That's all.

Heated mirror

For reference, we add that today there are kits for self-insulation on the market. It consists of three components:

Wiring;
A light bulb (it is this that creates the effect of heating the mirror);
Insulating material (prevents the heat from the lamp from being wasted and leaving the housing).
