Type of fastening of wipers on Vesta

A very important point for Vesta owners. Indeed, despite the rather short period of inlet of the model, the type of fastening managed to change. Therefore, before purchasing new brushes, you should definitely check which mounting option is used on your car.

Wiper fastening type until 2021

According to the type of fastening of windshield wipers used on the Lada Vesta, this is the most common type - a hook . This type of fastening is used on most car models, including modern foreign cars.

New type of wiper mount on Vesta 2020

On cars produced after 2021, leashes with mounting for valt5.1 (or GWB046) began to be installed. The type of fastening was announced in 2021 and is used mainly on Renault vehicles, for example Renault Kaptur and on some Renault DUSTER

I offer brief recommendations for wipers. Choose what is more important to you and buy. A detailed description, installation video and price comparison are below.

To construct the graph, we took prices from one site - a well-known online store of auto parts. This will reduce the impact of different pricing schemes.

Comparison of prices for windshield wipers on Lada Vesta
As you can see, the most expensive are frameless SVF and Denso hybrid wipers. The most affordable - Bosch Eco - are five times cheaper. The prices for other frame and frameless brushes are almost comparable.

Frameless wipers for Vesta

For cars with the old type of fastening - hook

The range of windshield wiper blades for Vesta for this type of mounting is very wide. You can easily find ready-made kits or individual brushes from renowned manufacturers, as well as much cheaper alternatives.

I would like to start the review of frameless brushes on the Lada Vesta with an excellent set from the company Bosch AeroTwin AR604S (part number of the set - 3397118908 ). A ready-made set of two brushes specifically for this car, with original mounting and size. At the same time, they clean well, quietly and are durable.

A set of brushes from the premium segment SWF Visioflex (article - 119761). Asymmetrical spoiler, excellent cleaning, easy installation.

Another high-quality option is TRICO FORCE series. These are two separate brushes with article numbers TF600L and TF450L for the driver and passenger, respectively. High quality, silent operation of the brushes and effective cleaning of glass even in winter.

A good option is a pair of individual frameless brushes from the Denso Flat series DFR-009 and DFR-002, respectively. A distinctive feature of these wipers is that they work well in rainy weather. Low noise, strong and durable.

For machines with a new type of fastening

After 2021, Vesta began to install leashes with fastenings for valt5.1 (or GWB046). Of course, the range of brushes for this type of fastening is significantly smaller. Especially if you are looking for brushes without an adapter. Adapters and adapters are not liked by many owners because of their bulkiness and difficulty in installation.

Here are excellent sets of brushes specifically for the new type of fastening:

• Bosch Aerotwin A 312 S (article 3397014312).
• SWF VisioFlex OE 482 (article 119482)
• Valeo Silencio Flat VF940 (article 577940).

Some owners simply change the leashes to the old version with a “hook” fastening, which greatly simplifies the selection of brushes.

Hybrid brushes

Do you prefer hybrid brushes? This option is only available for hook type mounting.

Denso Hybrid DUR-060L and DUR-045L wipers . Brushes from this company, although quite expensive, have rightfully earned many positive reviews, both based on the results of tests by experts and real users. Read more about hybrid brushes, their advantages and disadvantages in this article.

Another option is the Valeo First Hybrid VFH60 and VFH45 for the driver and passenger, respectively.

A pair of hybrid wipers from SWF HBlade for Vesta. Articles 116183 and 116176.

A more budget option for hybrid wipers is Heyner “Hybrid” , a pair of brushes with the following article numbers 034 000 and 028 000

Frame brushes

Are you looking for a more affordable option, or just prefer frame brushes? Then I can offer you the following options for attaching a “hook”:

• Set of two brushes with spoiler Bosch Twin Spoiler 604 S ( 3397118303 ).
• Another good set is SWF Das Original frame brushes (article 116346 ).
• Separate brushes Denso DM-560 + DM-045
• One of the most affordable options from premium brands is a set of frame wipers Bosch ECO 602C (3397010253).

How to replace wipers with optimal ones

Drivers are not satisfied with the characteristics outlined above. It's not just a matter of quality (even if we put Bosch of similar sizes, the situation will be the same). The length of the wipers should be subject to change.

It's easy to fix the situation - install larger wipers; they clean well. The optimal size of windshield cleaning brushes is as follows: On the driver's side, you need to install a long (610 mm) brush; a 450 mm brush remains on the passenger side.

How to install brushes

Installation of hook type brushes is very simple. It is necessary to pull the leash with the old brush towards you, remove the old one by pulling it out of the leash, then release the new brush from the packaging and install it on the leash adapter. On the Internet you can find many videos showing the process of installing brushes with detailed comments. If it seems difficult to install yourself or the driver is a girl, you can use the services of a car service.

But installing wipers with mounts under valt5.1 is somewhat more difficult, although there are no particular difficulties here either. Video of installing wipers is below

Good luck with your purchase and further use.

Rear wiper driver with brush assembly Xray

Dear customers, in order to avoid mistakes when sending the rear windshield wiper arm assembly with blade Lada X-Ray / Lada Xray, SANDERO 2014, in the “Comment” line, indicate the front or rear arm, your car model and year of manufacture.

Windshield wiper blades are indispensable assistants for the car owner; they ensure traffic safety and make the trip more comfortable.

As the automobile industry developed, car windshields became larger and their curvature increased.

This negatively affects the aerodynamics and reliability of the structure, impairs visibility and increases noise.

The Lada X Ray / Lada Xray is a relatively young concept. Only one generation was produced in several bodies. Regardless of the year, the length of the brushes, their other parameters are the same for all cars. The dimensions of the wipers must be observed. Otherwise, operational problems may occur. A brush longer than necessary will touch the body.

• Which entails two problems:
• — low degree of windshield cleaning;
• — damage to the paintwork.

Frameless type brushes are installed on the AvtoVAZ conveyor. They allow you to easily move at speeds of 140 km/h or more. The unique aerodynamic shape avoids strong air resistance. There is no separation of the cleaning surface from the glass. This allows us to achieve a high degree of purification.

1. Lada X-ray / Lada Xray windshield wiper blades have different lengths and, accordingly, different catalog numbers:
2. driver's brush - 650 mm;
3. passenger brush - 360 mm;
4. rear brush - 300 mm.
5. On all modifications of the Lada X-Ray / Lada Xray, regardless of the year of manufacture, the installed motor uses a Bayonet arm type connection method (pin).

With a detailed study of the front windshield wipers on the Lada X-Ray / Lada Xray, you can install longer blades.

For example, don’t touch the driver’s side, but instead of the short 360 mm passenger side, you can install a 380 mm wiper (650 mm and 380 mm). This will increase the windshield cleaning area slightly.

The dirty triangle at the bottom of the glass will become smaller, and the clean area at the top will expand by 1 cm.

The standard rear wiper 7701066673 has a size of 300 mm. It can be replaced with a 400 mm long brush. This will significantly increase the rear window cleaning area.

The cleanliness of the windshield and rear window, and therefore safety on the road, depends on the wiper blades. As a preventative measure, it is recommended to replace brushes at least once a year.

• In any weather, windshield wiper blades provide comfortable movement for the driver and passengers: they are all-season.
• Other articles of the product and its analogues in the catalogs: 7701066672, 7701066673, 287807006R.

Selecting wiper blades

Depending on the purpose, wiper blades may be different. They are distinguished by:

1. Degrees of resistance to low temperatures.
2. Size.
3. The cycle of work.

Frame

Frame brushes are made of metal with plastic inserts. If they are used frequently, their resource quickly runs out. All fastening elements in them become loose. Also, these wipers cannot work at low temperatures.

Frameless

They are based on plastic and rubber. They are arched. The advantage of this type of brushes is their resistance to low temperatures and the absence of noise during operation. They can also last for a long period of time. They can be easily updated if necessary. To do this, you just need to choose the appropriate size brushes.

Hyundai car windshield wipers

Hyundai cars are equipped with both frame and hybrid Denso brushes. They are sold under the Denso Hybrid and NWB Design Wiper brands. The brush design was originally developed by NWB.

The rubber band or rubber bands that can be purchased in our store are designed to replace the working element of Denso and NWB brushes.

The rubber band is made of natural rubber produced in Malaysia, the surface of the rubber band is coated with a material containing graphite using a completely new technology purchased in Germany, which significantly increases the service life of the product.

In configurations for one car brand, for example, Hyundai Solaris, depending on the level of equipment, different types of wipers are installed. On initial configurations Base-Classic-Optima, frame wipers, rubber bands thickness 6 and 8 mm:

On the Comfort-Family trim levels there are hybrid brushes NWB and Denso with the thickness of both rubber bands being 8.5 mm. Rubber bands from hybrid wiper blades of Toyota RAV4 (2013-present), suitable for hybrid wiper blades of Hyundai Solaris type Denso:

Methodology

At the very beginning of the tests, one of the favorites left them for technical reasons: the Champion brushes provided for the test did not have the required adapter in the kit - surprisingly, they cannot be attached to the common “hook” type mount. We must make a reservation: this is not a drawback - we just accidentally got the wrong model.

We will definitely return to the “Champion”, but now there are four contenders left in the frame: Trico Flex FX, Valeo Silencio X-TRM, Bosch Aerotwin and RainBlade Advanced. All frameless, which are considered by many to be the “windshield wipers” of the next generation.

And although we cannot fully agree with this - there are still a lot of frame models on the market - it is frameless options that have been seriously gaining popularity in recent years.

We decided in general terms to repeat the method that we tested the brushes a couple of years ago, but for clarity, to make the conditions a little more difficult: in the first test, kefir with a fat content of 2.5% will also be removed in one pass of the brushes, and in the second, the brushes will work without interruption for 30 seconds , but not on glass cleaned with washer, as before, but completely “dry”. We will be tracking two things.

Radial strokes - remain in places where the brush does not fully adhere to the glass. Fan strokes - they appear when the brush, while moving, jumps over rather than slides along the surface of the glass. In addition, we will take into account the noise that the brushes make when moving, and a couple of additional factors: the number of adapters in the kit and, of course, the price for a set of brushes 600 and 450 mm long.

To get some kind of initial level from which we can build on, we conducted tests on the “original” brushes that have been on our Vesta for almost a year - and we realized, excuse the frankness, how low we had fallen. Drama aside, it was monstrous.

In one single stroke, the brushes somehow smeared the kefir on the glass, and over the next 30 seconds they simply made the fermented milk film more uniform. However, there were several completely unrefined white spots left on the glass, most of them directly in front of the driver's face.

Take it off immediately!

These brushes, right after the standard ones, seemed like a breath of fresh air to us, although it could hardly have been otherwise - they are, at least, new. And besides, the brushes come with three adapters.

I had to tinker a little with attaching them to the standard “hook,” but in general it was not difficult.

After a single pass, the brushes did their job very well, but still left a few radius strokes - both on the left and on the right.

And after 30 seconds of continuous “whack”, a thin but clearly visible layer of “dirt” remained on the left side of the glass, dotted with both semicircular radial strokes and small notches - the driver’s brush jumps across the surface, leaving fan-shaped strokes. It is not surprising that the picture is far from optimal in terms of noise.

As a result, the situation with deteriorating visibility for the driver is saved only by the washer, while for the passenger the picture as a whole is a little better - the short and elastic right brush, due to good pressure, annihilates most of the abuse that falls on it.

Should you pay that kind of money for such a set of qualities? Let's look at the rest.

After the first participant, it became clear that today would not be easy for anyone, but Valeo as a whole showed themselves very worthy. There are no adapters included, but the brushes are quite easily attached to the “hook” and do not make any noise during operation. However, during a single pass of the brushes, both the left and the right brushes smeared a lot of radius strokes, and some of them remained after half a minute of work.

And besides, after 30 seconds, a lot of fan-shaped strokes appeared - they are so small that the jumping of the brush is indistinguishable to the ear, but these microscopic nicks are visible to the eye quite well. The summary here is this: far from ideal and at the same time the most expensive of the brushes presented, but in terms of the sum of their qualities they are well balanced.

Some online stores list as many as four adapters included with these wipers, but we didn’t have any in our packages with brushes.

However, preparation for installation is simple: the brushes are put on the “hook” mount without any problems, and the quality of the plastic even visually distinguishes Bosch products from competitors.

And the brushes work well: just a few radial splashes (namely splashes that fell from above, and did not appear under the brush) after a single pass, which completely disappear after a 30-second “session”, and no “fans”, not the slightest noise.

However, the favorite recognized by many is by no means sinless - after half a minute of dry work, the right brush in the area of ​​its lower tip “rolls” a dense radius stroke and several fan strokes, which are not erased by the left brush and still get into the driver’s eyes. But the problem can be solved quite simply - with a few grams of washer fluid. Because the kefir layer after Boshev brushes remains very thin. Good job.

And finally – RainBlade. Let us note that we have already installed the Select model on Vesta as a “test balloon”, and overall we liked it – the left brush turned out to be a little noisy (at the same time, it threw a certain amount of “working fluid” into the working area of ​​the right one), but the quality of surface cleaning was It turned out to be quite ok.

Now we install Advanced and see a very similar, but seemingly optimized picture - just a couple of radius marks (they are visible on the trajectory of the upper part of the left brush), almost no “fans” and at the same time – almost complete silent operation. The brushes also cope well with 30-second dry work.

The brushes come with six adapters.

The brand has appeared on the market relatively recently and has already gained a reputation – not a bad one, I must say. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to understand why: at a price much lower than that of competitors, the brushes provide very similar characteristics - and yet the competitors are from the so-called top segment.
