How to remove the door card of a VAZ 2110

Photo report on the dismantling and installation of the casing

Now you can proceed directly to the work itself. So, open the car door on which all this needs to be done and unscrew the three screws securing the lower door pocket. Look clearly at the photo below:

Then you need to do the following:

• push the bottom part back slightly
• carefully move the pocket down, thereby removing it from the grooves in the casing itself

If you have front speakers installed in the doors on a VAZ 2110-2112, then you need to unscrew the 4 bolts securing them along the entire diameter:

Then we perform the following procedure:

• carefully push the speaker back to pull it out of its seat
• disconnect the power wires from the contacts on the inside

Now you can proceed further. We take a thin screwdriver or knife and carefully pry up the trim on the door closing handle, after which we simply remove it by hand.

As you can see, under it there are two more bolts that also need to be unscrewed:

Then you can remove the handle, since nothing else holds it:

• turn it up slightly
• and disengage with the door opening handle

Almost everything is done. There are several points left, one of which is unscrewing the latch locking the front door of the VAZ 2110.

Now, carefully, starting from the bottom corner, we pry up the casing and also carefully try to tear it off the latches (plastic clips) that secure it to the metal part of the frame:

And then we move in small sections in a circle, but we must act carefully so as not to damage or break the upholstery itself. At the last step, we lift it slightly up to free it from the door lock control rod (on which the latch, which we have already unscrewed, is screwed on):

This repair procedure can be considered complete. Then we carry out those actions for the sake of which all this was started; for everyone here there will be their own goals. After completing the repair, install in the reverse order.

We remove the door cards of the VAZ 2110.

1. How to remove the door trim of a VAZ 2110? First of all, using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the plastic pocket at the bottom of the door trim. It is held on by 3 screws.

1. We pull the bottom of the pocket slightly towards ourselves, and lower the top down, thereby allowing the plastic to come out of the slots in the casing. Let's debug it aside.
2. If you do not have power windows, but regular ones, then at this stage you need to remove the window handles. To do this, we hook the fixing ring under the handle itself. Remove the handle and remove the plastic ring. Just like in the photo.

1. Next you need to remove the door handle. It is held in place with just two bolts. But these bolts are covered with a plastic cover. It can be removed by prying it off with a knife or a thin screwdriver. I advise you to wrap a knife or screwdriver in cloth, since the thickness of this lining is very small and it can easily be broken or damaged with a metal object. Therefore, we perform this procedure very carefully and leisurely.

1. Now you can unscrew a couple of bolts securing the door handle.

1. Once the bolts are unscrewed, you need to remove this handle. Pull the left edge towards you and remove the right edge from the slot in the trim. Then rotate the handle 90 degrees to the right to remove it from the door release lever.

Removing and installing rear door trim

Note. Removal and installation of the trim is shown using the example of the right rear door. All left rear door hardware can be removed and installed in the same sequence.

The doors of cars of recent years are equipped with central locking with an electric drive.

The rear door lock has a lock for opening from inside the car; the locking lever is located on the rear end surface of the door. The door locks can be locked when transporting children in the rear seat.

Removal

1. We prepare the car for repair work.

2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the door lock button.

3. From the rear of the window lifter handle (1), insert the blade of a thin slotted screwdriver between the socket (3) and the handle trim (2). We press the handle lining away from the socket, releasing the latch (protrusion) located on the inside of the handle lining. In this position.

. We move the facing along the axis of the handle and remove it.

4. Remove the window lifter handle and socket from the window lifter drive mechanism shaft.

5. Remove the armrest handle.

6. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the three self-tapping screws securing the lower door trim trim.

8. Using a slotted screwdriver with a wide blade (putting fabric folded in several layers under it), press the trim away from the door. At the same time, we remove the eight trim fastening holders from the door holes.

9. Slightly lift the trim and remove it from the door.

Installation

We install the door trim and all previously removed parts on the car in reverse order.

Before installing the casing, we check the fastening holders - replace deformed or damaged holders.

When installing the trim on the door, we align the trim holders with the holes in the door panel and lightly tap the heel of the palm to press the holders into the holes.

Tuning and repair of VAZ 2110

Very often situations arise when you need to remove the door trim of a VAZ 2110. Either in order to install sound insulation, or to see why the window regulator does not work, or to install a speaker in the car door. So, in this article I want to show you how to do this quickly and without much difficulty.

I’ll say right away that performing this action is very simple, and you won’t need mountains of tools. Prepare only a knife (or flat-head screwdriver) and a Phillips screwdriver. I would like to warn you right away that it is advisable to buy new clips for the door trim, as they may break when removing the trim. Moreover, if you have already decided to remove the door cards, it would be a good idea to work on eliminating their creaking. You can read how to do this here.

How to remove the door trim of VAZ-2110, 2111 and 2112

Today I will tell you how to remove the trim from the doors of a VAZ-2110 car and any tenth family. In addition to the pistons, the trim is also screwed under the decorative element of the door handle with two bolts, as well as along the lower edge and also the door pocket with three screws. So, for dismantling we will need Phillips and flat-head screwdrivers, as well as a strong rag or something soft so as not to damage the paintwork on the door when we unfasten the pistons with a screwdriver. So, first we use a flat screwdriver to pry the plug off the plastic door handle and two bolts open to our eyes. Take a Phillips screwdriver and unscrew them:

Then use the same screwdriver to unscrew the three screws at the bottom of the door:

Then we unscrew the speaker, if installed, in the lower right corner of the door, usually secured with four screws, and disconnect the terminals from it.

Now unscrew the door lock using a Phillips screwdriver or by hand:

Now all that remains is to carefully pry off all the “pistons” in turn, with which the door card is pressed directly to the door itself. They are plastic, it is not easy to break, but it is possible, so carefully, one by one, wrapping the screwdriver in soft thread, so as not to scratch the door, we press out each piston. Here is a schematic photo showing the approximate locations of the pistons.

Actually, we pull off the door trim from the pistons and get access to all the door elements of our dozen.

Step-by-step guide: how to remove and install door trim on a VAZ 2110

The four-door VAZ 2110 sedan is the flagship model in the Lada 110 family. The last car rolled off the assembly line in 2007 after a twelve-year production cycle. The door trim of the VAZ 2110 is made of durable, hard plastic, the material is resistant to wear and mechanical damage.

The disadvantage of the door trim is the same type of texture and three types of colors; most drivers prefer to tune the interior and change the trim to a more modern material.

Replacement options

Drivers have several options for replacing door trim, each of which has its own advantages and is chosen based on taste:

• Eurocard;
• European cladding;
• panels from the manufacturer;
• independent re-upholstery.

Factory trims from AvtoVAZ are replacement kits for the original trim. They are made of plastic and additionally covered with decorative inserts. The advantages are the exact overall dimensions, ease of installation of clips, and compliance with the door dimensions. Frequently used sheathing kits Lux 1 or Lux 2.

With European cladding, the door lining is made of high-strength polymers and comes in a variety of colors. Manufacturers are small companies specializing in car tuning.

Self-upholstery does not require large investments and is within the capabilities of every driver. The material you can use is textiles, natural, artificial leather, velor, etc.

Tools and materials

To reupholster yourself you will need to prepare:

Sheathing material.

Experienced drivers recommend using vinyl, but keep in mind that the material shrinks significantly. Before purchasing, you must take measurements and leave at least 10 cm for allowances and internal bends. If genuine leather or suede is used, allow up to 5 cm for allowances.

• Scissors with a long blade.
• Glue. For repairs they use Moment, Master, Titan.
• A construction knife with a small blade and a sharp end.
• Construction or household hair dryer. It is not recommended to use a heating lamp as it may deform the material.
• Glue brushes: thin, wide.
• Set of clips.
  For the VAZ 2110 they produce special sets of fasteners, the cost of a set of 10 clips is 30 rubles. Each door will require 8 clips. It is recommended to buy latches with a reserve. During installation, several clips often break, since the fasteners are consumer goods and the quality of the fasteners is not regulated.
• Self-tapping screws. If you use independent re-upholstery of the cladding on the old casing, then use standard short self-tapping screws; when installing factory casing or Eurocard, purchase a set of long self-tapping screws.
• Crosshead screwdriver.
• A thin screwdriver with a wide blade.

Lux 2 panels and Euro casings have standard places for speakers with a diameter of 17 cm. If the standard Lada audio system has smaller speakers, then you will need to select it to fit the size of the hole or add a rubber or plastic insert to the part to fit the speaker tightly to the mesh.

Let's consider the process of removing the rear door trim of a VAZ 2110

To do this, you will need Phillips and slotted (flat) screwdrivers, and you will also have to buy a set of pistons. Considering that factory pistons (clips) often break when removing the door trim of VAZ cars, it is best to purchase pistons made of soft plastic, rubberized or silicone in stores. They are more expensive, but they are more durable and do not break when removed.

Now let's get started:

1. We take a Phillips screwdriver and unscrew the door locking rod latch and the lining ring on top of the trim.
2. We unscrew the three bolts of the plastic pocket-lining at the bottom of the rear door trim of the VAZ 2110, and, slightly pulling it down, remove it from the special holes.
3. Before removing the rear door opening handle, use a slotted screwdriver to slightly pry and remove the decorative trim from the handle. We unscrew the two fixing bolts with a Phillips screwdriver and remove the handle, turning it slightly 90 degrees to the right.
4. Under the bottom cover, on the back side, there is a small plastic grille, under which there is a standard speaker jack with four mounting points. If it is installed, after removing the cover, unscrew all four screws, remove the speaker from the standard socket and disconnect both wires.
5. Using a slotted (flat) screwdriver, slightly pry up the fixing plastic stopper. Remove the window lifter handle and plastic decorative washer.
6. Using the same screwdriver, pry it from the bottom corner and remove the rear door trim of the VAZ 2110. At the same time, the removed clips (pistons) should create light clicks.

Before installing the casing in the reverse order, it is necessary to replace all factory pistons with new, more durable ones.

The biggest source of squeaks and rattles on cars of the VAZ 2110 family is the door trim. How to deal with these “crickets”, how to get them out of here? Each VAZ 2110 owner finds his own way. Below we will look at one of them.

To remove squeaks and rattles in the door trim of the VAZ 2110, you need to use Modelin anti-squeak.

First, let's eliminate the creaking of the metal casing.

We glue a thin strip of anti-squeak along the perimeter of the inside of the door trim.

To eliminate the squeaks of clips in the metal part of the door, you need to apply anti-creak in the special holes for the clips.

Dismantling

At a service station, a mechanic spends no more than 15 minutes to disassemble door panels. Self-replacement will go quickly if you adhere to the order of work and do not change the sequence.

Front doors

The work algorithm for the front and rear doors of the VAZ 2110 is slightly different. Before work, you must disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. If the standard trim is reinstalled on the Euro trim, then it is necessary to remove the window lifter lever.

How to remove the front door trim of a VAZ 2110 step by step:

1. Wrap the screwdriver in a rag or cover the tip with electrical tape.
2. Using a screwdriver, press the trim of the window handle away from its socket.
3. Guide the screwdriver so that the panel comes out of the grooves.
4. Dismantle the cladding and remove the socket.
5. Using a screwdriver, press out the lock of the driver's door armrest plug.
6. Remove the clamp.
7. Unscrew the two screws that hold the handle.
8. Press the inner handle of the armrest, turn it up, and remove the part.
9. Unscrew the screw that holds the mirror mechanism and remove it from the lever.
10. Remove the two fastening clips from their seat and remove the triangular trim.
11. Carefully slide the screwdriver under the panel and unfasten the 6 clips.

If the driver's or front passenger's door is equipped with a power window, then after removing the handle lock, you need to disconnect the plug.

Rear doors

The differences in work when removing the door trim are based on the fact that power windows are rarely installed for rear row passengers. Removal of the rear door trim is carried out in the following steps:

1. Use a thin screwdriver to pry the trim on the door handle and remove the part from the grooves.
2. Unscrew the two bolts located under the trim.
3. Carefully move the handle to the side, remove it from its seat, and pull it out.
4. Unscrew the three screws securing the lower rear door trim panel.
5. Remove the bottom panel.
6. Unscrew the latch blocking the door from the inside.
7. Pry off the cladding panel with a screwdriver; you can use a wooden wedge, bend it back and snap off the fastener clips.

The plastic clips must be reinstalled with new ones when assembling the updated door card.

Removal

Dismantling work is the beginning of your journey to replacing the door panel trim. It's nice to know that this task is quite simple. This is especially true for the front doors.

We will tell you separately about the nuances of dismantling the front and rear door trims of your VAZ 2110.

Disassembled cards

Front

Let's say right away that the likelihood of damaging the standard clips is very high. But this is not scary, since new products are cheap, and their installation is much simpler than repairing old caps.

If you are installing Euro panels, you will have to remove the lever from the window regulator.

The process is performed according to a certain algorithm:

• Using a thin screwdriver, pry the window handle trim away from the socket. Direct it in such a way that it disengages. Now remove the lining. This item is not relevant for those whose car is equipped with electric windows;
• Remove the socket now;
• Using a screwdriver, press out the latch on the plug for the inner handle of your armrest, and then remove it;
• Remove the handle mounting screws;
• Press the inner handle of the lock and turn the armrest handle up. This way you can remove the element;
• Next, unscrew the button that blocks the door lock;
• Remove the screw that secures the exterior mirror control mechanism. It must be removed from the lever;
• Remove the triangular trim. To do this, the fastening pins are removed from two holes in the door.

Upholstery in all its glory

Rear

The rear trim is removed slightly differently. But this does not make the procedure significantly more complicated.

• Remove the three mounting screws;
• Remove the trim;
• Using a screwdriver, press out the upholstery. This will allow the pistons to pop out;
• Try to keep the screwdriver as close to the piston as possible to avoid breaking the holders;
• Don't forget to also remove the spacer sleeve from the window lift shaft.

Self-upholstery

Now we can begin to create a new look for your interior by independently reupholstering the dismantled door panels.

Preparations are in full swing

Before starting work, be sure to clean the cards, go over them with a vacuum cleaner, and replace the door seals if necessary. This will allow them to close better, without unnecessary noise.

The job of re-upholstering yourself is not difficult. Especially if you already have experience working with fabric or leatherette in or outside the car.

1. Measure and cut the pieces from your chosen fabric or vinyl to size.
2. An allowance of 5-7 centimeters must be provided for each side. This is necessary in order to avoid the use of patches when covering.
3. Gradually apply adhesive to the cards, letting it dry a little. Just be sure to make sure that the glue does not dry completely.
4. When you have coated the doors, use the same glue to treat the surfaces of fabric or leatherette, depending on what you choose. Let these elements sit for about 10 minutes so that the glue dries a little, but does not dry out.
5. After the specified time has passed, begin gluing elements of the material onto the door cards. Vinyl is good because it stretches well and fills all the differences and depressions in the card structure.
6. To ensure that the vinyl stretches and fills all the gaps, preheat the material using a hair dryer.
7. Smooth the material by hand, but it is better to wear gloves for this.
8. The edges with the allowance are carefully folded to the wrong side, after which they can be trimmed.
9. Do the same with all the doors of your VAZ 2110. As you can see, there is nothing complicated here.
10. Experienced car owners and fans of comprehensive tuning of domestic cars note that some other interior elements should be covered with the same material in order to achieve an ideal picture of the car’s interior. This could be the glove compartment lid, a triangle near the mirrors, a steering casing, etc.
11. When reassembling cards with new skins, use pistons. To install them, you will need to make appropriate holes in the casing. This is where a sharp utility knife comes in handy.

Self-upholstery

Before directly reupholstering, it is recommended to check the condition of the inner door panel, remove pockets of corrosion, check or replace sound insulation, replace rubber seals, so the doors will open better. For VAZ 2110, the service life of door seals is up to 3 years. The process of re-covering a door part yourself step by step:

1. Clean the outside of the card. You can sand it with fine-grain emery for better adhesion of glue and leather.
2. Attach the door card to the material, cut around the perimeter, leaving at least 7 cm around the edges.
3. Treat the outer surface with glue and the inside of the future cladding with glue. Apply glue according to the manufacturer's recommendations. If an adhesive composition is used, then after coating you need to wait up to 10 minutes.
4. Place the vinyl on the door card, constantly heating the material with a hairdryer, and level the surface so that the leatherette fills all the curves of the part: the space for the speaker, for the central panel, the recesses for the handles.
5. Cut out all the holes that are covered with vinyl in the door card from the center and not reaching the perimeter, carefully wrap it on the wrong side, making sure that the edges of the fold do not exceed 2-3 cm. Trim off the remaining vinyl.
6. After gluing the card, trim off the remaining vinyl, leaving at least 3-5 cm on the inside of the card perimeter.

After the glue has completely dried, install the door card on the car in the reverse order, having first changed all the clips.

Installation of a ready-made kit

Re-upholstering the cladding yourself does not always help save time or money. If you don’t have time to do this yourself, then you can use ready-made cladding.

The set of door elements Lux 2 from AvtoVAZ has additional sound insulation, a set of standard fasteners, mesh for speakers and screws. Installing a finished panel takes up to 20 minutes for an inexperienced driver. When choosing a casing, choose original replicas; if the set contains only four panels, then the speaker grids, caps and screws must be purchased separately.

The lower part of the door trim needs to be screwed in only with long screws; if the standard kit offers short ones, then you need to change the screws yourself.

Installation of Lux 2 cladding in steps:

1. Remove the old card.
2. Attach a new panel, check the gaps and the alignment of the fastener locations.
3. If the car is equipped with a mechanical window lift, then the panel needs to be modified. Lux 2 does not have a hole for the handle of a mechanical lift.
4. Secure the trim to the clips.
5. Tighten all the bolts and secure the outer trim panels.

Cost and types of finished skins

At a specialized service station, the cost of reupholstering a door trim starts from 3,000 rubles. excluding the cost of the door card. Depending on the model, in 2021 the following prices for ready-made kits for the VAZ 2110 remain:

Clips and nets for speakers must be purchased separately.

Working with ready-made kits

Do-it-yourself upholstery is good, cheap, and the interior will be a source of pride for you, since you decorated it with your own hands.

But still, not every car owner is well versed in fabrics, knows how to sew, or has mastered all the nuances of a pattern. So the result does not always live up to expectations.

Therefore, we advise you to pay attention to ready-made kits. Factory VAZ panels Lux 2 are in great demand, they create an excellent appearance of the interior

An important advantage of Lux 2 type kits is the presence of an additional sound insulation effect, which is very important and useful for the VAZ 2110. It is not necessary to contact specialists, since the installation can be done by yourself

It is not necessary to contact specialists, since the installation can be done by yourself.

1. The kit often includes only panels - 4 units. But the grids for the speakers, pistons and other elements will have to be purchased separately.
2. You should not trust sellers who claim that Lux 2 fits perfectly on the doors of the domestic top ten. Some of the pistons probably won’t want to be installed where they are supposed to be. This is because they slightly do not match the car model.
3. Fastening from below must be done using long self-tapping screws.
4. If your doors do not have power windows, then you will have to slightly change the configuration of the panels yourself by cutting holes in them for the “oars”.
5. The problem of the gap that is formed as a result of installing Euro panels on a model with manual windows can be solved by masking it with some object. Although the best solution is to re-equip the car by installing electric windows.

Example of a finished banner

Price issue

Finally, we invite you to familiarize yourself with the current prices for ready-made upholstery kits. This is a set consisting of 4 panels. Clips and podiums will have to be purchased separately.

Prices may vary depending on the sales region and the specific auto parts and accessories store.

Whether to change the trim for your doors or not is up to you. But this is one of the most inexpensive and effective ways to improve the appearance of the interior and transform your own car from the inside.

Fastening

The cost of one door trim piston is from 3 rubles. AvtoVAZ produces plastic fasteners in its workshops. Product code 2108-6302015, 21080630201500, width, clip length 1.5 cm.

The mount has a simple shape and holds the door panel trim using a plastic skirt. The manufacturer claims high quality parts, but in practice, when disassembling the door card, two of the six required clips break. When installing Euro sheathing, on average one clip breaks, this is worth taking into account.
