I wrote that operating a car with a faulty windshield cleaning system is prohibited, but driving when the wiper blades do not remove water well and dirt is no better. In the article I would like to give their types and, in my opinion, which wipers are better to install on the VAZ 2107.
Wiper size for VAZ 2107 13 inches
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.

WHAT WE CHECKED
In the old days, a janitor was the name given to the owner of an inn; he had much more responsibilities than waving a broom. There are also many requirements for modern wipers, so we decided to check the following parameters:
- ergonomics (packaging, labeling, design, appearance, fastening on a leash);
- wear resistance on the stand (analogous to a year's mileage on a real car);
- resistance to UV radiation (100 hours);
- heat resistance (at +65 and -45 ° C);
- quality of glass cleaning on a real car after laboratory tests.
Size of wipers for old VAZ models
Most older VAZ models use a standard blade length of 33 cm. For the VAZ 2110 windshield wiper, as well as the “nines” - the same as on the 2114. Although they are interchangeable, it is still recommended to buy original blades - they are optimized for downforce . Their mounts are identical.
By the way, it is worth noting that for many models the size of the windshield wiper blades is indicated not in centimeters, but in inches. Eg:
To simplify the calculation, you just need to remember that 1 inch is 2.54 cm. Using a simple formula, the length of the required brush is calculated.
If you place a longer windshield wiper in front of the driver than in front of the passenger, then when the water is removed, there will be no thin strip left on the glass. If you install two equally long windshield wipers, it will be there (but there will be no place on the sides that is uncleaned from dirt).
Some manufacturers, by the way, still produce so-called frameless wipers for VAZ. They are considered the best, but cost a little more. Their advantage is a tighter clamp and less restriction of visibility for the driver. But such windshield wipers wear out much faster. As for the material, the best choice is a special rubber for glass. Silicone, in principle, is not bad either, but it does a worse job of cleaning dirt without moisturizing. And during operation it produces an unpleasant “glass” creak.

Which brushes are best to choose for a particular car? It is worth focusing on your own experience. The main difference will only be in size. Some people prefer rubber ones, some prefer silicone ones, and others just want to save money.
For the latter, you can completely restore the old brushes (applies only to frame models). If they make an unpleasant squeak during operation, this means that they need to be cleaned of salts. The easiest way to do this is with a citric acid solution.
Replacement
The process of replacing the wiper on this car does not cause problems. It is carried out in two stages:
- install the wiper arm in a vertical position - perpendicular to the windshield;
- Carefully, squeezing the plastic fastener on both sides, wiggle the wiper away from the hook.
If you no longer plan to use a used wiper in the future, you don’t have to stand on ceremony with it. And pull it out with a jerk. If the driver plans further use: all operations must be performed carefully. Plastic becomes brittle from prolonged use in the sun. Temperature changes make it fragile. If possible, replacement should be carried out at above-zero temperatures: the likelihood of breaking fragile plastic will be reduced to a minimum.
High-quality wipers that perform their function well are the key to good visibility. Therefore – safety on the road. It is important to promptly change windshield cleaning blades. This will help you avoid accidents and other problems on the road.
Removing and installing the windshield wiper gear motor - VAZ 2107
1. We prepare the VAZ 2107 car for operations (see “Preparation of the VAZ 2107 car for maintenance and repair”).
2. On a VAZ 2107 car, disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery (see “Battery for a VAZ 2107 car - removal and installation”).
3. Using a 10 mm socket wrench, unscrew the union nuts securing the windshield wiper blade arms.
4. Using an open-end wrench or other suitable tool, remove the levers of the windshield wiper blades from the conical splines of the drives. If it is difficult to remove the windshield wiper blades, apply a penetrating lubricant to the splined surface of the drives.
5. Using a 21 mm socket wrench (or a spark plug wrench), unscrew the nuts securing the windshield wiper arm drives.
6. Remove the plastic bushings and rubber gaskets from the wiper arm drives.
7. Disconnect the windshield wiper wiring harness block.
8. Lifting the edge of the seal, remove the windshield wiper wiring harness from the slot in the engine compartment partition.
9. Using a 10 mm socket wrench, unscrew the two nuts securing the windshield wiper gear motor to the body of the VAZ 2107 car.
10. By removing the windshield wiper arm drives from the holes in the body, remove the windshield wiper from the VAZ 2107 car.

Installing a windshield wiper gear motor on a VAZ 2107 car
1. Before installing the windshield wiper gear motor on a VAZ 2107 car, we wash the rods with levers from dirt. Lubricate the hinges of the windshield wiper arms with grease.
2. Connect the connector block of the new windshield wiper gear motor to the wiring harness block. We connect the wire to the negative terminal of the battery. Turning on the ignition, turn on the intermittent operation of the windshield wipers for a short time. In this case, the windshield wiper gear motor drive will be installed in a position corresponding to the extreme left position of the windshield wiper blades. Turn off the ignition and disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery.

Hurray, there is detailed information in Russian! The packaging is convenient, fixing and tightening does not create any difficulties. “Runs” on the stand created minor stripes on the windshield along the length of the brush, and the temperature chamber slightly worsened the cleaning in the upper part, but no crushing or anything else occurred. The price is one of the lowest.
Types of wipers
First of all, it is worth noting that there are several main types of products that are suitable for the same car model. On average, windshield wipers are used for about a year, then they become unusable; Most often, their elastic bands may dry out. The quality of glass wiping and the absence of unpleasant sounds when the wipers operate depend on the type and quality of the product.
The wiper consists of the following elements: a body and a working surface. There are the following types of windshield wipers:
- Frame - based on levers and rocker arms, the frame is used to press the wiper to the surface of the glass, holding the wiper in the desired position. The tighter the product adheres to the glass, the better it will work. If the wiper is worn out, it will not be effective enough to clean the glass. When the graphite layer of the structure wears away, small scratches will begin to appear on the glass. Frame products are quite reliable, but their service life is not the longest: the sore spot is the hinges, which wear out faster than other elements, as they experience increased loads when moving. In extreme cold or freezing, the efficiency of the structure will be significantly reduced.
- Frameless wipers on the VAZ 2107 have a rather unusual, attractive appearance. They differ in that the working surface does not have a frame base. Instead, a spring base is responsible for pressing the cleaner. The design has a number of features, the following can be highlighted: the service life exceeds the period of use of frame wipers, but you should not expect that they will last for several seasons at once. The price of the product is significantly higher than the frame version, approximately 1.5-2 times. It is important to choose the right model that is produced specifically for the VAZ 2107, since the mounts are not universal.
- Hybrid wipers on the VAZ 2107 are essentially a regular frame wiper, but placed in a special rubber box. It protects the product from moisture and other negative factors, which may reduce its service life. This design cleans glass more effectively, but is quite heavy.
However, the practice of using frameless cleaners on the “classic” says that it is better to use framed products, since the glass on the “seven” is rounded on the sides and some frameless ones do not adhere well to the surface.
If the wipers do not work intermittently
The test should begin by monitoring the power supply to the relay block. This is done like this:
If there is no voltage, it is necessary to replace the switch or repair the open circuit. If voltage is supplied but the relay does not work, the latter must be replaced. The design of the relay does not provide for the possibility of repair.
Sometimes when you turn off the wipers, the brushes stop not at the lowest point of the trajectory, but in another arbitrary place. The problem lies not in the VAZ 2107 wiper relay, but in the drive gearbox. It contains a limit switch actuated by a cam. The operation of the cam controls the position of the brushes after turning off the power on the switch lever.
To replace the gearbox, you must dismantle it along with the engine and install a new one.
There are several reasons why the engine may not work when power is applied. The most common are shearing or wear of brushes or failure of windings. The brushes can wear out over time, or they can freeze to the contacts and break when the VAZ 2107 wiper relay is turned on and power is supplied to the engine. The winding most often burns out when the motor is overloaded. To check, repair and replace the gearbox with the windshield wiper motor, it is necessary to remove the unit from the vehicle.
To perform the work, you will need open-end or socket wrenches for 10 and 22. The procedure is as follows:
After this, you can repair or replace the faulty parts and install the wiper structure in place by performing the operations in reverse order.
The 7 wipers do their job perfectly in heavy rain. Problems arise during drizzling rain, when selecting a suitable operating mode becomes a problem. As a result, the wipers rub against dry glass, the rubber bands wear out intensively, and the glass can be scratched. To avoid this, the driver has to constantly turn the wipers on/off manually, which distracts from driving.
First you need to remove the relay, which is located in the cabin near the hood opening lever. To remove it, you need to unscrew two screws and disconnect the block.
A 62 kOhm resistor installed on the relay board provides a 4 second turn-on interval. It should be replaced with a resistor of half the resistance, which will provide a minimum pause between switching on of 2 seconds. But it should be soldered onto the relay board with only one leg.
After connecting the variable resistor, close the relay cover by gluing it in place. This will protect the contacts and printed circuit board from oxidation and damage.
After installing a tuned wiper relay, it becomes possible to adjust the interval between turning on the wiper motor from 2 to 8-10 seconds. Thanks to this, you can select the optimal mode corresponding to the intensity of rain.
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.
- frame;
- frameless;
- hybrid;
- winter.
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.
| Name | vendor code | Characteristics | Price |
| Bosch Twin 340 | 3397118700 | All metal frame | From 1 thousand rubles |
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.
| Name | vendor code | Characteristics | Price |
| Trico Flex | FX350+FX350 | Symmetrical spoiler | From 1.6 thousand rubles |
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.
