Unlike the previous luxury models - VAZ-2103 and VAZ-2106 - the new model in this segment differed less from the “norm” VAZ-2105. Thus, its body differed only in a more aggressive shape of the radiator grille and taillights. The interior now features original design seats with integrated headrests and cold air deflectors (in winter, you can direct hot air to your feet and a stream of cold air to your face). The main innovations were a more powerful 1.6 liter engine with 76 hp. s., as well as a 5-speed gearbox, which first appeared on the “classic” model of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant.

Two years later, the model range was replenished with a station wagon based on the VAZ-2105, which received the index 2104. When creating it, the main principle was the minimum cost of change - compared to the prototype. Hence some of the features: for example, the body of a station wagon is less rigid than a sedan, although according to operational requirements it should be the other way around. The “Four” quite quickly replaced the previous station wagon VAZ-2102 and for more than 15 years, until the appearance of the VAZ-2111, it remained the only model from Togliatti with this body type.

It didn’t work out that way with the “seven”. In theory, with the advent of the VAZ-2107, it was necessary to discontinue the previous luxury VAZ-2106, but for some reason the models continued to be produced in parallel. In the 1990s. The VAZ-2107 maintained its position as a luxury model, and only in the new century did this position become ambiguous. The car could no longer be considered a luxury model, since it was morally outdated compared to the VAZ-2110 and was much cheaper than the latter.

By this time, the VAZ-2107 “Zhiguli” (LADA 2107) was equipped with an engine with central fuel injection, which made the car the fastest Volga classic of all time. Combined with an aggressive “timeless” design, this gave it the image of an inexpensive car for family youth with sporting inclinations. And yet, AvtoVAZ understood that the backward model had a detrimental effect on the company’s image, although it attracted many buyers. Therefore, the plant began a policy of “removing” the VAZ-2107. In 2002, the license for its production was sold to the Ukrainian LuAZ, and in 2003 the main production was transferred from VAZ to Syzran. Since then, the “seven” have gathered anywhere - in Egypt, Chechnya, Ukraine, Izhevsk - just not in Togliatti.

The Quartet also underwent similar “migrations”. Now these two models are the last Russian successors to the Fiat 124 remaining on the assembly line and in demand for an unbeatably low price. Over their long life, the cars were repeatedly modernized, and after the assembly line “death” of their ancestor - the VAZ-2105 - they became even more similar. Now both cars are painted in the same color scheme, which has many metallic paint options, have the same electrical systems, seats and engines, as well as a “seven” radiator grille (the VAZ-2104 was originally designed as a VAZ-2105).

It is curious that the VAZ-2107 “Zhiguli” (LADA 2107), VAZ’s second-generation luxury car, appeared simultaneously with the front-wheel drive Sputnik/Samara family, and this was not a mistake. Most car enthusiasts in the USSR were still distrustful of front-wheel drive, which is why the “seven” turned out to be the most prestigious VAZ model in the 1980s. And not only in the USSR, but also in Eastern Europe. It was even called “Russian Mercedes” or “HBM” (“I want to be a Mercedes”).

Luggage rack manufacturers

Gutter racks have been produced since USSR times. But due to the bowl-shaped shape and the small number of points of contact with the load, Soviet designs have sunk into oblivion. Although they can be found today as a rarity or an “unkillable” platform for transporting agricultural products.

A typical representative of that era is the BelAZ gutter rack, which is still produced in Belarus to this day. Options for four and six supports differ slightly in load capacity. The total figure is 50 kg. Dimensions 1.3x1.05x0.21 m. Cost 1,200 and 2,500 rubles depending on the number of supports. Consists of 4 single and 4 paired black metal tubes. They occupy transverse positions. Perforated silver plates are screwed to the ends as side edges. The trunk's potential is limited by design.

Luggage basket made by BelAZ

Currently, luggage devices are made of lightweight, durable alloys using an anti-corrosion coating.

from Rostov-on-Don is popular for its universal designs, but does not shy away from mounting on gutters. The basic model consists of six parts:
Clamp. Second part of the support.
Pipe crossbar. It is made of square steel profile.
Plastic plug. Before threading the crossbar into the rack, the plug is removed from the crossbar.
Wing with nut. Main fastener.
Rubber backing. She puts it on her paw.

Load capacity 70 kg. Price from 450 to 900 rubles depending on the length of the crossbars. An excellent budget option, but at speed it shows poor aerodynamics - it is noisy.

The Ant trunk is no different in appearance from the previous one. But the price of 1,750 rubles is explained by a 2-year warranty.
The Russian aerodynamic trunk consists of wing-shaped crossbars 8 cm wide and 125 cm long. They can withstand loads of up to 75 kg. A T-shaped groove for connecting accessories and corrosion protection will cost 3,520 rubles. The VAZ-2107 is not a weak car and, having high-speed characteristics, will only improve them due to the aerodynamic cross members.

Luggage baskets are installed on the Semerka. They create the necessary volume for small-sized personal items. But boxes on 2107 are a rare phenomenon. If only this is a car that has undergone exterior tuning. Then the shape of the airbox is combined with the curves of the car.

At the end, two main rules should be added for installing luggage accessories on the drains of a VAZ-2107:

About the trunk lock of the VAZ 2107

Maintain alignment from the windshield and rear window.
Tighten bolted connections evenly.

And also take care of the roof and operate the trunk in accordance with the instructions.

How to start a VAZ-2107 without a key

The most difficult task is starting the VAZ-2107 engine without a key. You need to act according to the instructions:

Open the hood. Remove the positive wire from the battery terminal.
Move the gear shift lever to neutral.
Remove the cover from the steering column using a Phillips screwdriver.
Remove the bundle of wires from the ignition switch.
Take the red wire to the side and twist the rest together so that they are in contact with each other. Secure the bun with a paper clip so that it does not fall apart when moving.
Pull the carburetor choke control handle towards you. Set the parking brake and depress the clutch.
Using the red wire and twist, start the engine - to do this, you need to momentarily connect the exposed contacts. To prevent the starter from malfunctioning, insulate the red wire and keep it separate from the rest. When the engine is running steadily, lower the clutch and push in the carburetor damper control handle.

Dismantling the gas tank

So, first we remove the plastic casing under which the gas tank is hidden. It is secured with screws that can be unscrewed with a Phillips screwdriver.
Now disconnect the power wires from the fuel sensor. You can simply pull them up and remove them from the contacts.
Next, unscrew the fastening of the fuel hose and pull it out of place using pliers.
Then unscrew the bolt of the clamping plate securing the VAZ 2107 gas tank with the injector system.
Now you can unscrew the filler cap and carefully remove the gas tank.

Next, all that remains is to seal the gap in the gas tank. There are many repair methods, from cold welding to sealing the tank with tar. Let's take the simplest and least expensive path.

Creation of VAZ-2101

Concept and technical characteristics of the updated Nissan Beetle

Everyone knows that the VAZ 2101, or in common parlance “Kopeyka”, copied the external features and technical features from the Italian Fiat-124 model of 1966. Of course, all materials for production were used only Soviet ones.

The first stage of the plant was put into operation on March 24, 1971 and was designed to produce 220,000 cars per year. The following year, AvtoVAZ doubled its production capacity.

The VAZ-2101 was created as a low-power car (four-cylinder engine capacity was 1.2 liters; power - 62 hp at 600 rpm; maximum speed - 140 km/h) and with a relatively low price, so that everyone could afford to buy a legendary car.

Compared to the Italian prototype, the VAZ-2101 acquired rear drum brakes (instead of disc brakes), which were more durable and resistant to dirt. According to the characteristics of our roads, the ground clearance was also increased, the body and suspension were strengthened. In all subsequent years, the VAZ model was refined and subjected to modifications. But even in this (pristine) form, the VAZ-2101 was produced until 1982 and became a truly “people's” car.

Machine weight characteristics

For its time, the VAZ 2107 was an excellent car that was successfully sold, including outside our country. The machine's technical characteristics were not inferior to its analogues at a lower price; the design scheme used is highly reliable. The weight of the equipped vehicle is just over a ton, which allows it to demonstrate good power capacity.

The maximum permissible load is 400 kg, in other words the car can carry five adult passengers. If the quantity is smaller, luggage can be transported in a special compartment. A rational distribution of masses between the axles ensures good stability and controllability of the vehicle.

The small dimensions of the VAZ 2107 model, optimal weight for its size and a powerful engine provide the car with good dynamics and maneuverability. The successful design and low price predetermined the car's commercial success and, despite its advanced age, it still does not lose popularity.

So, VAZ 2107 technical characteristics, dimensions, parameters.

VAZ 2107 was produced from March 1982 to April 2012. It has been produced in Egypt since 2006 to this day.

It has a 5-seater sedan-type body, in-line 4-cylinder gasoline engines, paired with a 4 or 5-speed manual transmission. It is included in the class of subcompact cars, according to the European classification - class “B”. And not C, as they say on the forums. C class is Ford Focus, KIA Ceed, etc. Wheel formula 4x2, rear wheel drive. The ancestor is the Italian Fiat 124.

How to install an electric lock: instructions

How to connect an electric lock to the trunk, algorithm of actions:

First of all, you should remove the trunk lining as carefully as possible, remove the lock and bend its tooth.
To install the wiring, you need to remove the terminals from the car battery. In order to save energy, you can power it from the cigarette lighter, which usually does not carry any special loads. In order to achieve it, you need to disassemble the central shaft and install a fuse between the drive button and the cigarette lighter.
The working mechanism with the electric trunk lid should be secured - preferably without making new holes in the lid. The mechanism must be secured in the trunk, taking into account the length of the rod.
It is necessary to connect the electric drive to the luggage lid mechanism. It is recommended to install the fuse in front of the lock. Wires should be connected to each other only by referring to the diagram. Otherwise, the lock and automatic opening of the lid will not occur. The connections must be insulated, and the terminals must be returned to the battery. If the inspection reveals shortcomings in the operation of the finished system, the rod should be adjusted. The final installation of the wiring must be done after the correct operation of the electric drive has been determined. For silent operation of the electric lock, sound insulation should be installed on the trunk lid.

As an example, let's look at the instructions for the Mitsubishi Lancer X model. For self-installation you will need:

trunk lid button;
electronic trunk lid lock;
fix
button torus;
keys for 10 and 14;
flat and Phillips screwdrivers.

Further work occurs in the following sequence:

First of all, you need to pull out the fastening pins of the trunk lid trim using a flat-head screwdriver. Next, remove the upholstery and disconnect the connector.
You need to disconnect the rod from the cylinder, use a 10mm wrench to unscrew the fastening bolts of the lock and replace the existing product with a new one.
You should install the button and connect the wire. To do this, you need to: disconnect the rod and the cylinder, remove the cylinder by unscrewing the two mounting bolts from the rod.
Pressing the two fasteners of the sealed plastic ring that hold it in the hole, remove it. When the antennae come out of the puzzles, you should insert a fork into the hole from a different direction and secure it with a lock. The plug from the button must be inserted into the connector from the nearby socket. Fasten the upholstery in place.
Remove the trunk trim. The foam mounting bolts should be unscrewed using a Phillips screwdriver and removed. Next, you need to unscrew the two latches and pull out the plastic cover held on by clips. Unscrew the two fasteners at the back of the trunk, remove the two pistons at the front. Remove the left side of the rear seat by unscrewing the side frame mounting bolt with a 14 mm wrench.
You need to find connector F-28. The red wire of contact 3 fits there. In the mating part of the connector, contact 3 is empty; the existing wire should be inserted into it. No disassembly of the connector is required. The wire must be stretched along the entire standard braid to D-17. Find pin 4 and the black and yellow wire that goes to it. Having moved the clamps, you should lift the black slide and insert the pin socket into the required connector. Return all the fasteners to their original places and assemble the machine parts in the required sequence.

All about the roof rack VAZ 2107

Cars of the VAZ “classic” family enjoy well-deserved love, including as economic “horses”. These cars carry trailers, building materials stick out of the windows, and, of course, every self-respecting summer resident has a special roof rack for transporting oversized and long cargo.

First of all, you need to decide on the dimensions of the VAZ 2107 trunk in order to know what maximum dimensions of cargo can be placed in the trunk with the lid closed. Here they are:

Everything that extends beyond these dimensions must be placed on the roof of the VAZ 2107 and transported on the top, removable trunk. This is especially true for long items. Materials such as boards, sticks, floor slats, if they do not exceed 4.5 meters in length, may not be marked with red marker flags. In the event that they protrude beyond the front and rear bumpers, they must bear the oversized load mark. This is especially true at the rear end.

There is an explanation for this: the front end is clearly visible to the driver, and he himself makes sure not to drive too close at the traffic lights.

The roof rack of the car is designed for a weight of no more than 50 kilograms. If the driver is sure that the road will be perfect, without the slightest holes, bumps and vertical vibrations, then you can put 75 and even in extreme cases 80-90 kg, but no more. Carrying heavier loads will cause deformation of the body structure, and this leads to disruption of the opening and closing of doors.

The photo shows an old trunk that was produced in the USSR. Its weak point is its “bowl-shaped” shape with raised edges. On such a trunk it is difficult to transport barrels placed on the roof, sheets of cellular polycarbonate rolled into cylinders due to the small number of points of contact.

Currently, all “classics” have high-strength and lightweight roof racks that fit all car models, from VAZ 2101 to VAZ 2107. They are made quite durable and lightweight, and are coated with anti-corrosion powder paints.

The supporting system itself, as a rule, is hollow box-shaped bars made of strong sheet metal, square in cross-section, which are located in a single row, in the amount of 6 - 8, connected at the ends by supports that give rigidity to the structure. Four support mechanisms, which have different designs, are attached to the supports. Most often they are made using eccentric - tightening screws.

In order not to scratch the profile of the VAZ 2107 drain, to which the trunk is attached, the contacting parts are equipped with inserts - polyethylene liners.

When installing a trunk on a VAZ 2107, you must follow two rules:

The edges of the trunk should be at an equal distance from the windshield and rear window - this ensures correct alignment and distribution of the load on the roof;
When tightening, you must maintain uniformity. There should be no unevenly tightened eccentrics;

It is even more important to follow the rules for securing cargo on the trunk.

The most important thing is that the loads are securely secured in the anteroposterior direction. When the vehicle brakes in an emergency, heavy loads occur and cargo can be torn off the trunk. When driving with a loaded rack on roundabouts and long turns, you need to drive slower than usual and evenly, otherwise the angular acceleration may be too strong and the load will be torn to one side. When transporting long boards and whips, you need to be very careful when starting, accelerating and braking, as the ends of the whips “play” and rock the car, causing vibration

Particular attention should be paid to transporting bulk cargo in strong winds - if possible, you should avoid this and wait for calm weather; Loads with a large area and resistance (rolled covering material, empty barrels) must be secured especially carefully; While driving, listen carefully to the sounds on the roof. Do not be lazy to go out several times and check the reliability of fastening the cargo and the trunk itself

By applying these simple rules, you can avoid troubles associated with a sudden drop and damage to the load, or - even worse - creating an emergency situation on the road.

Main characteristics of the “six”

VAZ 2106 is considered a Soviet and Russian car, produced in the period 1975-2005. The car was manufactured and produced at VAZ, but already in 1998 some production facilities were moved to Syzran and Kherson. In 2002, the “six” was assembled at IzhAvto, where the last model of the legendary car was left on the assembly line.

It will be interesting to know: in total, over 4,300 million VAZ 2106 units have been produced in the entire history of the automotive industry at various factories.

The “Six” was also produced in several modifications. Regarding the body, the following noteworthy points can be made:

The modification of the VAZ 21061, intended for sale in Canada, had a completely different body installed. This one had special aluminum bumpers and fangs. The bumper also had trims and ends made of black plastic;
The VAZ 21063 body was equipped with “five” bumpers;
The body of 21065 was also equipped with aluminum bumpers, and some of the cars going for export were generally modified;

The VAZ 2121 was equipped with a body with the same bumpers as on the export 21061, only without sidelights.

As for specialized modifications:

The “six” was produced in a pickup truck. It was a modification of the "Tourist". The pickup truck had a tent built into the bed;
A single copy of the “six” called “half past six” was produced by order of Leonid Ilyich. It was equipped with a different hood, modified for this modification.

Note. An interesting fact: according to the norms of Soviet industrial economics, the “six” with its dry weight of 1045 kg fell into the group of small class cars, but in terms of the volume of the power unit it fell into the third group.

The body of the “six” and its mass played an important role in compiling the technical data of the car.

Benefits of this option

Many people do not find anything special in this option, but once you try the electric trunk drive, you immediately begin to appreciate all the advantages. The positive aspects of the option to automatically open the trunk on the VAZ-2107 include:

Convenience. By the time the driver leaves the cabin, the trunk will already be open.
Practicality. There is no need to remove the keys from the ignition switch to open the trunk with the key, especially if you have just started the engine and are warming it up.
Fashion. Almost all modern cars are equipped with such an interesting option, so the “seven” with this function will look more interesting against their background, especially with tuning.

Next, we’ll look at what the procedure for installing an electric drive for opening the trunk on a VAZ 2107 is with your own hands.

What is required for the work

Before starting the work process, you should purchase the necessary equipment. To carry out the work you will need:

A button that, when pressed, will activate the electric drive. The best option is a button from a VAZ-2110 car, the cost of which is about 50-80 rubles.
The relay is four-pin and has a special terminal for it.
Activator.
Wires.
Female and male connectors, as well as electrical tape and heat shrink.

You can easily find any of the components in any auto store, and then install and connect it to your car yourself.

Installation of the activator

Initially, it is necessary to install an activator, which is an electric drive that works to retract or repel, depending on the connection. The first step is to remove the lock and install the activator rod. To remove the lock, you will need to unscrew two nuts.

After this, you need to drill a hole in the side of the lock to insert the rod and connect it to the lock tongue. The rod will need to be bent (secured), it should look something like the one shown in the photo below.

After fixing the rod to the lock, the latter can be installed in place. It is advisable to remember the tilt level of the lock and install it as well, so that you do not have to adjust it during installation. Now you can attach the activator to the trunk. To do this, you will need 2 self-tapping screws and a special plate, which comes with the product. After this, you can manually try to see if the lock will work when opening. When the activator is installed on your VAZ 2107 car, you can proceed to the next stage - connection.

Connecting the product

Before carrying out connection work, be sure to disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. To begin with, we present the diagram according to which the product will function.

The electric lock will be supplied with 12V power directly from the battery, although you can also use a wire from the cigarette lighter. First, connect the wire to the “+” terminal of the battery.

The battery supplies power to the relay, which can be located both in the cabin and in the engine compartment, which will be much more rational. From terminal “86” the wire is fed to the trunk opening button, which can be located in any convenient place on the dashboard. To install the button that will open the trunk lid, you will need to drill a hole of the appropriate diameter in the dashboard.

The wire from the relay terminal “30” is laid through the cabin to the activator. Its length must be at least 5 meters. The wire can be laid together with the standard wiring. This wire must be connected to the green wire of the activator using female-male connectors. The blue wire must be short-circuited to vehicle ground. Now you can check how the electric trunk lock of the VAZ 2107 functions. It is enough to spend 2-3 hours so that the trunk will eventually open using the VAZ 2107 button. After completing the work, do not forget to connect the negative terminal to the battery.

How to open the trunk of a 2107 without a key. Around the clock

Despite modern technology and the ability to install an alarm on any car, funny things still happen. You cannot open the trunk, which contains the necessary tools, without a key. The procedure becomes more complicated if the driver’s doors are locked.

The solution to this problem can be carried out independently using improvised means or professionally by calling a specialist. If you do not know how to open the trunk of a VAZ 2107, then the first option disappears by itself, since you can cause damage to the car.

Hood of VAZ 2107

VAZ 2107 owners often modify the hood of the car. First of all, the lid stop, which was made at the factory in an extremely inconvenient way, changes. First you need to remove it from the latch and only then close it. On the VAZ 2106, the same stop is designed much simpler and more functional.

Installing an air intake on the hood

An air intake or snorkel is often installed on the hood of the VAZ 2107, which improves the appearance of the car and helps cool the engine. It is mounted so that air flows directly onto the air filter. Sometimes additional pipes are installed to the main air intake to increase cooling efficiency.

The snorkel is usually made by hand. In this case, it is better to use durable plastic or metal as a material. The air intake is mounted as follows.

A U-shaped hole is cut in the hood with a grinder.
The cut out part of the hood is bent to form the snorkel profile.
Triangular metal pieces are welded along the edges to cover the ends of the part.
The hood is puttied and painted to match the body color.

When cutting the hood, it is important not to touch the stiffeners provided by the design. Otherwise, the strength of the body will noticeably decrease

Hood lock

Sometimes car owners modify the hood lock of the VAZ 2107. If it does not work well or fails, the mechanism is dismantled. It is recommended to first outline the lock with a marker - this will avoid adjusting a new or restored lock. The mechanism is removed in the following order.

The hood opens.
The lock cable clamps come out of their seats.
The bent end of the cable is straightened with pliers. The fixing sleeve is removed.
Use a 10mm wrench to unscrew the lock nuts.
The lock is removed from the pins.
A well-oiled new lock is installed.

When replacing the cable, it is first disconnected from the lever handle. This is done from the salon. Then the cable is pulled out of its sheath. Nowadays, cables are often sold complete with a sheath. In this case, when replacing the old cable, it is pulled out along with the casing.

Body weight

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"

Let’s say right away that the “six” weighs exactly 1045 kg. Its mass is decomposed as follows:

The weight of the power unit together with additional equipment is 140 kg;
The gearbox weighs about 26 kg;
Shaft – 10 kg;
Rear axle – 52 kg;
Radiator – 7 kg;
Body – 280 kg.

It turns out that the body is the heaviest part of the car. It is exactly twice as heavy as the engine. The remaining parts of the machine have approximately the same mass.

A car's directional stability and handling are also directly related to its weight. The peak of popularity of large, heavy cars abroad occurred in the 50-60s of the last century. Then the auto industry produced truly gigantic cars. For example, the Cadillac Eldorado modification 8.2 weighed almost 3 tons. Agree that for such a weight, an appropriate makeweight is needed.

But as time passed, it became clear that in order to further develop and improve the most important characteristics of the car, it was necessary to resort to reducing its overall weight. And if we compare the middle of the last century and today, cars have lost half, or even more, of their own weight. Plastic, carbon fiber reinforced plastic, light metals - all these innovations have made it possible to make the weight of a passenger car significantly lower.

Of course, for lovers of everything big and heavy, cars are produced that look like steamships that drink buckets of gasoline, but this is rather an exception to the rule.

Roof rack VAZ 2107

If the “seven” is often used to transport various cargoes, then, as a rule, the standard trunk is not enough. In this case, it is convenient to use a special roof rack. Oversized cargo can be secured on this structure. Before choosing a product, you need to find out the dimensions of the elements that can be placed on the trunk. Long materials such as boards, sticks, pipes, if their length is up to 4.5 meters, may not be marked with red flags. If the cargo exceeds the dimensions of the vehicle, i.e. protrudes beyond the front and rear bumpers, it must be marked with special red flags that inform other road users about the transportation of oversized cargo.

What types of luggage racks are there?

On the roof of the VAZ 2107 you can install a roof rack of both the old type and the modern type. The standard “Zhigulevsky” trunk has dimensions of 1300*1050*215 mm, and its load capacity is up to 50 kg. This structure is fastened to the roof gutters using bolts. In general, roof racks can be divided into 3 groups:

The first option is universal. The product consists of transversely and longitudinally directed metal beams with a square or round profile.

The closed trunk is a trunk (box). The main advantage of this design is the protection of the transported cargo from bad weather.

The product, made in the form of racks, is used for transporting bicycles and other equipment. This design is used less frequently, but the load can be fixed on it easily and reliably.

Which manufacturer to choose

There are many manufacturers of roof racks for the VAZ 2107 on the Russian market. The most popular companies include: Mamont (Russia), Golitsyno (Russia), BelAZ (Belarus), Inter (Russia). The price range of products ranges from 640 rubles. up to 3200 rub.

How to install

Structurally, the roof of the “seven” has storm drains to which the trunk racks are attached. The installation of the structure for transporting luggage on the roof of the VAZ 2107 should be carried out at the same distance from the front and rear windows. Thus, the load on the upper part of the body and the pillars is distributed evenly. The rack fastenings are placed so that they do not create an obstacle to the doors when they open and close. On the Lada seventh model of recent years of production, there are special marks in the interior that indicate where the A-pillars are located. This makes it easier to install the product on the roof and position it.

Before tightening the racks, you need to make sure that they are parallel to each other without distortion. If an installation error occurs, the roof surface may be damaged. After installing the racks, tighten the fasteners tightly so that the rubber elements are pressed well against the roof gutters. Having secured the luggage structure to the body, the product is considered ready for use. The main thing is to ensure that the load is securely secured, which will prevent its loss during sudden braking or maneuvers.
