Tinting VAZ 2107: how to tint the windshield, rear and side windows, instructions with photos and videos

You can handle replacing glass on a VAZ-2107 yourself - this is a fairly simple job that will help you become better acquainted with the structure of the car.

In addition, this matter has its own specifics, because the windows are attached to the body not with an adhesive base, but with strong rubber seals.

To be safe, you can call an assistant - he will help keep the glass suspended during dismantling and installation.

This makes it much easier to place the new part exactly in the grooves and not be afraid that it will fall out of your hands. Since the glass is quite large, it is quite difficult to hold it on your own.

About light transmission standards for tinted glass

Nobody forbids tinting the windows of a VAZ 2107. However, if this is done without regard to the law, problems with traffic police officers are guaranteed for the car owner.

The higher the percentage of light transmission, the more transparent the tint film

From January 1 of this year, the Legislative Assembly intends to seriously increase fines for improper tinting of a car to 1,500 rubles. The requirements for glass for light transmission according to GOST 32565 2013 are as follows:

• there are no restrictions on light transmission for the rear and side windows of cars;
• the light transmission rate for the windshield is 70%;
• it is allowed to stick strips of colored film on the upper part of the windshield; their width can reach 14 cm;
• finally, the current GOST says nothing about so-called mirror tinting, and their use is not regulated in any way.

How to replace the front windshield and rear windshield on a VAZ 2106

Replacing the front windshield and rear windshield on a VAZ are, in principle, very similar processes. Why the glass is being replaced is completely clear. Let's look at what else glass removal can be used for. This process is carried out when it is necessary to tint these windows, or when body work is being carried out for which the glass is a hindrance (for example, painting).

To replace the front windshield and rear windshield we will need:

• Assistant;
• Unnecessary blanket or blanket;
• Screwdriver;
• a 5-meter piece of rope with a diameter of about 0.5 cm;

Having found all this, you can begin the repair process.

We free the interior from absolutely all interfering decorative interior details. The front side pillar trims are removed first. Then we dismantle the internal rear view mirror, also remove the sun visors and the decorative trim on the ceiling;

Now that nothing interferes with us, and we do not risk damaging anything during the process, we move on to the main part of the work. Start the subsequent work from one of the upper corners. Use a screwdriver to pry up the edge of the seal and push it past the body flange. Then, maintaining constant uniform pressure on the glass, squeeze out the seal. In this process, you need to gradually move the corner of the glass (top, of course) along with the seal outside the body;

Having carried out this operation along the entire perimeter, you will already be holding the glass and the seal in your hands;

We begin to remove the seal from the glass itself. We do this in several stages

First, we pry it in the middle with a screwdriver and begin to carefully separate it from the middle to the edges. We inspect the seal for contamination and mechanical damage.

If you find even one of these, the seal must be replaced with a new one, and the seal is also replaced if the rubber hardens. We clean the edge of the glass and the seal itself from dirt. Also check the sealant grooves; quite often they may contain debris, sealant residues, etc.;

Clean the moisture drainage holes, which are also present in the seal;

Take a new car glass and install a seal on it. Start installing it from the bottom corner, moving first along the bottom side, then along the side, then along the top, and again along the side; Place the cord that you prepared in advance in the groove of the seal, in the one that fits onto the body flange. After you have inserted the cord around the entire perimeter, pay attention to whether one end overlaps the other. It is necessary that such an overlap be at least 20 cm;

Prepare a soap solution of sufficiently high concentration. Cover the seal and the body opening where the new glass will go. you need to coat it in sufficient quantity;

Together with your partner, install the glass so that the seal groove sits on the flange of the opening where the cord exits. In this case, the ends of the rope should be located strictly in the cabin;

Now you and the assistant must separate. One of you is inside the car, and the other is outside it. The person who is in the cabin begins to slowly pull out the rope, making sure that the edge of the seal gets behind the flange of the opening, but if it doesn’t get there, then you need to pry it off with a screwdriver. The participant in the process, located outside, applies light pressure to the glass by tapping, exactly in the place from which the rope is pulled out. Thus, the glass sits in place;

After the glass is installed, reinstall all removed parts in the reverse order of removal.

Now let's talk about replacing the rear windshield. It changes in exactly the same way as the front one, but it must be removed starting from the lower corners.

In addition, before removing the glass, you need to remove the trim trim. It is located in the lower corners and can be easily removed by prying it off with a screwdriver.

This completes the replacement of the front windshield and rear windshield. If you have basic skills and an intelligent assistant, it will not take much of your time and effort.

Types of glass

Currently, there are only two types of glass installed on cars. The first is called triplex, and the second is called stalinite. The latter is made by strongly heating a single sheet, followed by rapid, but not sudden cooling. As a result, the finished product acquires increased strength. If a windshield made of stalinite is destroyed, it crumbles into many harmless cubic fragments.

Triplex is a multilayer product reinforced with a film polymer. Even strong single blows are not able to break such glass - in the worst case, it cracks and sags. However, serious collisions can produce quite large fragments.

On cars like the VAZ model in question, it is tempered glass that is used. Modern vehicles are equipped mainly with triplexes. They are held in place not by a sealant, but by glue, which improves the appearance of the car, but makes it very difficult to replace in a DIY situation.

Windshield - how to choose

Faced with the need to replace the element discussed in this article, many car enthusiasts are at a loss. The specialized market is now overloaded with products of the same type that are visually less than different from each other. However, you shouldn’t buy the first windshield you come across. It is important to make sure that you replace the old one with one of equal (or better) quality.

Of course, if you have the funds, preference should be given to the original product - it fully complies with GOST and will last a long time. It is unlikely that you will be able to purchase a new “native” front car – AvtoVAZ does not produce them.

A good alternative is glass produced in the city of Bor, and in addition, quite high-quality products are supplied from China, but it is worth choosing those that are more expensive. There are also Turkish ones on the market - their price is low, and the quality fully corresponds to it.

The seller must request a certificate of conformity and a guarantee. The absence of the first document is acceptable only if you are purchasing a front car taken from an old Zhiguli.

It is important to carefully inspect the glass in the store. Make sure it doesn't have:

Sometimes inexpensive triplexes contain air bubbles inside - this indicates the weakness of the product. It will most likely crack quickly.

A quality product will have smooth and well-finished edges. Run your finger along them - any unevenness will significantly complicate installation. Be sure to examine the selected specimen in the light - the presence of distortion or cloudy areas is a significant defect.

Windshields produced at the factory have precise dimensions. Dimensions are another important criterion, because even minimal discrepancies will prevent self-installation. So, a product that is too small will not hold well, and a large one simply will not fit.

The standard size according to GOST is as follows:

• length – 1,440 millimeters;
• width – 536.

Glass dismantling

To replace your windshield, you need to get rid of the old one. However, it is advisable to purchase a new one in advance and make sure that its dimensions fully correspond to your car.

For removal you only need a medium-wide flathead screwdriver. The latter is rested from the inside against the rubber seal of the VAZ-2107. The optimal place is the top edge of the glass (five millimeters below the edge of the elastic band, counting from the metal frame).

Push the seal out, and then move the screwdriver to the side another 4-6 cm and repeat the action.

When the entire upper edge of the lobovushka is freed, it is simply squeezed out. For this:

• cover the hood with a thick blanket;
• lower the seat back;
• kneel on it;
• press your palms against the glass;
• press firmly.

Next, the frame of the VAZ-2107 is studied. Make sure there is no rust or deformation. Otherwise, all defects will have to be eliminated.

Rear window

In Zhiguli cars, the rear glass also has a concave shape. It protects the interior from dirt and moisture. The tightness of the internal space is maintained until the seals deteriorate or the body element itself breaks.

Rear window dimensions

The rear window of the Zhiguli is also quite massive. Its dimensions are 136 cm in length and 51.2 cm in height. The dimensions indicate that dismantling and installation should also be performed with an assistant.

Replacing the rear window, algorithm of actions

In order to replace the rear auto glass of a VAZ 2107, you will have to repeat the steps that are required to replace the wind body element, with the exception of some nuances:

1. Pry up the edging at the bottom using a flat-head screwdriver;
2. Remove the metal corner element and take out the edging;
3. Carefully pushing out the glass, we take it out. You should start from the bottom side. You can replace old auto glass with new one using the same instructions.

Heated rear window

The VAZ 2107 was equipped with heating from the factory - this option is very useful in cases where in winter everything can become foggy and the driver’s all-round visibility will be limited. When installing new glass, you need to make sure that the heating is connected and working properly.

Rear window grille

Often a grille is installed on the rear window as an addition. It beautifies the appearance of the car and helps darken the interior, protecting it from the penetration of sunlight. On hot days, it helps maintain a normal temperature in the cabin.

Frequent breakdowns

In winter, it may happen that the heating will work, but fogging will not go away. This phenomenon cannot be called a breakdown, because it occurs only with high humidity. If you notice a similar effect, there is no need to worry about repairs.

But if the humidity is moderate and the heating is not working, you will really have to start repairing. To do this, you will have to check the entire chain step by step:

• Fuse F5;
• Heater terminals and ground;
• Check the filament with a multimeter.

The heating repair process is shown in detail in the video:

How to prepare new glass for replacement

First of all, pull the rubber seal onto the new element. If you decide to save the old one, then it will be much easier, because its length almost completely corresponds to the perimeter of the glass.

With a new seal, everything is much more complicated - you need to start working by tightening all four corners and sidewalls. After this, the longitudinal edges are worked on.

Next, you must insert a U-shaped flexible spacer profile, called a lock or wedge. It runs in the center along the entire seal and ensures complete adherence of the rubber to the frame and front cover.

The new lock should be stretched a little - use the old seal as a reference. As a rule, during storage the part shrinks a little and becomes a couple of tens of centimeters shorter than necessary. The lock is inserted in two steps - first the long edge is pressed in, and then the short one. Upon completion of installation, the excess is carefully cut off.

Self-installation

Installing a windshield is not a difficult, but responsible process. Before starting work you need to do the following:

1. Wash the surface of the frames and inspect for chips, rust, and abrasions.
2. Degrease the surface.
3. Place the cord in a new elastic band. The ends of the rope are located along the bottom edge in the place where the lock is located.
4. Prepare a new part.

If pockets of corrosion are detected, clean the area with sandpaper, apply a primer and paint over it with enamel. The presence of rust in the contact area is unacceptable: this reduces the strength of the fastener, which is why water may enter the VAZ interior.

Before starting installation work, remove the side trims from the frames and the rear view mirror. This will make it easier to pull out the rope.

1. Put on the rubber seal.
2. Lay down the rope.
3. Carefully attach the part to the frame.
4. One person adjusts the position from the outside of the VAZ, and the second carefully pulls the rope into the interior. It's better to start from the bottom edge.
5. When pulling out the rope, an assistant adjusts the part and presses slightly towards the seal.

After the seal is in place, the shield will take its position. The windshield frame on the VAZ 2107 is installed in the reverse order. This is where a flathead screwdriver with a large handle comes in handy.

When going around the bottom corners, be careful not to scratch the panel with the cord. After installing the seal on the glass, you can return the rear view glass and decorative trims of the pillars to their place

Installation of new glass

Here you will need the same screwdriver and another 3.5-4 meters of twine. A nylon linen sheet with a thickness of at least 4 mm is suitable. Be sure to take someone to help you - you won’t be able to do it without a helper.

The rope is bent in half - this is how the middle of the segment is discovered. It is placed on top of the outer groove of the seal (there are two of them - choose the one that is located closer to the outside of the front cover). After this, the twine must be pushed deeper with a screwdriver. Work from the center to the sides. Continue in the same way until the rope is in the middle of the bottom of the glass. On the other hand, it is recessed in the same way.

Wipers for VAZ 2107

Windshield wiper blades are suitable for VAZ 2107, VAZ 2105 and many other car models. Including foreign ones. It is important to note that today this machine continues to be used. But original parts have not been produced for a long time. Therefore, it will be extremely difficult to acquire them. The standard sedan version does not have a rear brush. But there is a station wagon version. It has a rear wiper. Its length is standard, similar to those that clear the viewing windshield.

Front door side glass

Dismantling the side glass of the front door on a VAZ 2107 may be required during repair work. The front sliding glass has dimensions of 729**421*5 mm.

How to remove glass

To dismantle the glass you will need to prepare:

• flat and Phillips screwdrivers;
• set of open-end wrenches.

We carry out removal in the following order:

1. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry the plastic plugs out of the armrest.
2. Unscrew the fasteners and remove the armrest itself.
3. We move the rosette away from the facing, and then move the facing itself along the handle and remove the rosette.
4. Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry up the door handle trim and remove it.
5. We insert a screwdriver between the door trim and the door itself, snapping off the plastic clips.
6. Remove the sealing element from the front and top of the door frame.
7. Unscrew the front gutter fasteners.
8. We remove the guide element from the door along with the seal.
9. We unscrew the cable fastening to the glass frame, lowering the glass itself down until it stops.
10. Use a screwdriver to pry up and remove the facing elements from the inside and outside.
11. We remove the glass from the door.
12. If further disassembly of the door is required, remove the seal from the rear part.
13. Unscrew the fastening of the rear guide element and remove it.
14. We perform assembly in reverse order.

Door glass seal

To prevent scratches on the sliding glass, the doors are equipped with a special element - velvet covers, which also serve as a seal. Over time, the velvet layer wears off and the seal is broken, causing water to get inside the door and the glass to become loose and scratched. In this case, the seal needs to be replaced.

If the velvets are damaged, they should be replaced

To do this, just pry with a screwdriver and remove the worn elements, and install new ones in their place.

To replace glass seals, simply pry out the old elements with a screwdriver and then install new ones

Dimensions

Thanks to the small size of the brush, you can save money. The length is identical for all positions. It is 340 mm. It is possible to install longer brushes. At the same time, they will not touch the body. The degree of cleaning of the windshield directly depends on the quality of the brush itself. You need to familiarize yourself with the characteristics in advance.

Original articles

Initially, only original parts were produced for the car. The year of release of the first car from the assembly line is the distant 1982. No imported parts were used. But it is not possible to find original components for installation on a VAZ 2107. After the collapse of the USSR, the release of this series continued.

But AvtoVAZ no longer produced such small parts as windshield wipers on its own. Finished products were purchased abroad, from third-party companies. As a result, assembly is significantly simplified. At the same time, it is important to understand that the quality of original wipers does not differ from products from third-party manufacturers.

Replacement options

You can easily purchase wipers from third-party manufacturers. Moreover, their quality will be at a high level. Most famous brands monitor their reputation. It is only important to avoid buying counterfeits. For example, many of them are present at the Bosch company. You can easily identify a fake. It has poor quality packaging. There is no special hologram.

All wipers on sale can be divided into categories:

All modifications without exception have their advantages and disadvantages. You need to choose a certain category based on the operating conditions of the vehicle and the region where it is located. Driving style and speed are definitely taken into account.

Frame

The classic type of construction has a metal frame. As a rule, frame wipers are the cheapest. They have advantages: durability, accessibility. Usually the price for a pair starts from 500 rubles. The disadvantage is the aerodynamic shape. As a result of air resistance, the contact strength of the windshield and wiper is reduced. Which leads to poor cleaning.

Frameless

Have less resistance to air flow. Therefore, they can cope with cleaning the windshield at any speed. They have a more presentable appearance than frame ones. Less durable.

The cost is an order of magnitude higher than the price of classic ones. Suitable for all drivers without exception. Regardless of driving style. They have a large contact area.

Hybrid

They are free from the disadvantages of frame and frameless brushes. They are a single piece of rubber. But there is a metal structure inside. Which makes the brush more durable.

Resistance to the air flow flowing around the car is minimal. Easy to use at any speed.

Winter

Winter wipers are distinguished by their elasticity - even at sub-zero temperatures they clean the glass well. The characteristics are achieved by adding rubber to the rubber from which the wiper is made. It retains its elasticity and is not subject to deformation.

Easily tolerates strong temperature changes. This is especially important for regions with low average annual temperatures. Optimal choice:

• the temperature at which the car is operated;
• maximum speed - at which the movement is carried out;
• intensity of precipitation.

How to choose a tint film

Speaking about tinting a VAZ 2107, one cannot help but touch on the most important question: how to choose a tinting film? The main rule when choosing film is this: savings are unacceptable here.

Yes, there is a great temptation to buy cheap Chinese film. But the throughput of such film leaves much to be desired. When driving at dusk, the driver may no longer be able to distinguish obstacles located only fifteen meters from the car. And the service life of Chinese film is very short: a car owner will be very lucky if it lasts at least a couple of years. And when the driver finally decides to get rid of the cheap film, another unpleasant surprise awaits him: a dark layer of paint remaining on the glass. The fact is that on cheap tinting, the paint layer is usually mixed with the adhesive layer (it is precisely because of this feature that visibility deteriorates at dusk). After removing the film, the sticky paint simply remains on the glass and is not so easy to remove.

Expensive and high-quality tinting does not have this drawback, which is why you should pay attention to the products of the companies listed below

1. Sun Control.
2. Llumar.
3. SunTek.
4. Sun Gard.

Wipers on the VAZ 2107: sizes and types

Wipers are irreplaceable parts of any car, the quality of which car owners remember only during rain or snow. Having visited any auto store, you can simply get confused by the abundance of types of wipers. Almost all cars are equipped with a pair of wipers that clear the windshield of rain, dirt, and snow. This is an almost irreplaceable part, without which it is impossible to drive a car in the rain. In the material we will consider which wipers are best installed on a VAZ 2107 car, as well as the main types of these devices.

Dismantling the lobovukha

Replacing the windshield on a VAZ 2107 will require dismantling the interior decorative trims, as well as the rear-view mirror.

To dismantle a part from a VAZ:

Wash the car at the car wash and drive it into a warm garage. Bend the wiper blades. Use a screwdriver to pry up the windshield lock, which is located in the lower frame. Remove the wedge molding around the entire perimeter of the glass. Gently press on the corners from the interior side to press out the shield, holding it from the outside. When dismantling, you need to press the seal with a screwdriver, squeezing it out. When removing, it is important to be careful and not to fumble when pulling the part out of the groove. Do not press on the shield as this may cause the part to crack and cause injury to your hands.

Main types of wipers

If previously wipers or brushes for cleaning the windshield had only one type, today such products come in various shapes, types, and sizes. From the factory, the VAZ-2107 is equipped with standard windshield wipers, the shelf life of which is no more than 20 thousand km. Of course, it is wrong to tie brushes to the mileage of the car, so it is necessary to change products when they do not cope with their main task.

The wiper itself is a structure that is based on a body and a working element. The working element is the windshield wiper, and the housing is necessary to support this structure. Although today there are the following types of windshield wipers that can be installed on the VAZ-2107:

In fact, they are all universal, with the exception of modern foreign cars, where one element differs in size from the other. Let's look at how these types of brushes differ from each other.

Frame, frameless and hybrid for VAZ-2107

The frame type of wipers is a system based on rocker arms and levers. This system is called a frame, which has two purposes:

1. Ensure that the product is pressed tightly against the windshield.
2. Hold the wiper element.

The quality of glass cleaning depends on the degree of pressing of the edge to the glass, but the wear of the wipers also depends on this. When the graphite layer wears off, the structure will cause small scratches to the windshield. Although standard products are reliable, they have a short service life. The entire design of frame wipers is not reliable enough, since the hinges, levers and rocker arms wear out very quickly when exposed to moisture and the sun. In addition, frame wipers are negatively affected by cold and ice, as a result of which they simply become ineffective.

After their appearance, frameless materials simply amazed us with their extraordinary nature. They are materials with a working edge, but without a frame base. The role of the frame, or rather the clamping mechanism, is performed by a spring base. This option has the following disadvantages:

• Although products have a longer service life than frame materials, this period does not exceed several seasons; high cost of products, 1.5 times higher than standard materials;
• lack of versatility, therefore, when purchasing frameless wipers, it is important to find products that were manufactured directly for the VAZ-2107.

The hybrid version of windshield wipers is the same frame wiper, only packaged in a special rubber body kit. Thanks to this body kit, the design of the product is protected from the penetration of snow, water and dirt. This has a positive effect not only on the quality of cleaning in winter weather, but also extends the service life of the products. The disadvantage of the product is that it is massive, so it is not very comfortable to ride with such brushes.

For the VAZ-2107, the best option is to install frameless windshield wipers, but if you really want to experiment, you can try other types of products.

Brush sizes

The VAZ-2107 car is equipped from the factory with wipers whose size is 33 cm (13 inches). Despite the fact that “14” and “15” products are also suitable for the “seven”, 13 wipers are still the best option. The reason is that the motor is designed specifically to function with 33 cm devices. Installing longer brushes increases the resistance force, which means the motor is overloaded more. This may soon lead to failure of the wiper motor. If you are not afraid of more frequent replacement of this motor, you can use larger brushes. Otherwise, for the VAZ-2107 it is better to install “13” brushes.

Graphite and silicone products

The rubber base of the brush plays an important role in cleaning glass. The quality of windshield cleaning depends on the base. If previously brushes were made only with graphite coating, today silicone and graphite coatings are also popular.

Based on repeated reviews from car owners and experts, it was found that silicone behaves poorly at both low and high temperatures. Teflon coatings are generally considered some kind of nonsense, since their operating efficiency is equal to zero.

To summarize, it is important to note that if you cannot find frameless wipers for a VAZ 2107, then it is best to purchase standard products. To extend their service life, in winter, before traveling, clear them of snow and ice (you can install hybrid products during winter). If you want to achieve high quality windshield cleaning, then you need to change the blades as often as possible - at least once a year.

Body parts VAZ 2109

Connection methods and other information about body parts

All body parts of the “nine” are a single whole. The method of connecting them together involves spot welding, but more loaded components are reinforced with an electric arc.

The body material is made of MU sheet steel with a thickness of 0.7-0.8-1 mm. Some small body parts are stamped from thicker steel.
