Constant snow deposits or ice on the windshield and clearing snow in the morning make you think about measures to change the situation. The solution to the problem may be a heated windshield of the VAZ 2114.
Heated windshield
The standard windshield is not equipped with a heating option. But some VAZ auto parts manufacturers produce heated windows. There are two types of such glass, with heating filaments and a metallized layer.
Glass with heating filaments is currently the most common option. The threads are almost invisible and effectively heat the glass. However, if the thread burns out, it is impossible to replace the thread; you will have to replace the entire part.
Glass with a metallized layer is more convenient to use. The layer is applied between the layers of triplex. Such heating does not depend on chips and cracks.
What is this?
A windshield is usually understood as a durable and reliable transparent shield that is mounted in the front opening of the body, located in front of the driver and passenger seats.
The product performs the following functions:
- Protects people in the car from dust, insects, dirt, stones, precipitation, and strong wind while driving.
- Prevents ill-wishers from entering the car interior.
- Reduces street noise levels.
As a rule, windshields are installed that are durable and of high quality. But it can still be damaged under the influence of various unfavorable factors. For example, premature wear of auto glass on a VAZ 2114 can be caused by:
- Falling tree.
- Heavy hail.
- Actions of vandals.
- Falling icicles.
The driver may need to replace the windshield in the following cases:
- There is a manufacturing defect and I would like to fix it.
- A scratch or chip appeared due to the poor quality of the product. The driver plans to put the car up for sale and wants to make it look more attractive.
- I would like to install a tinted product or auto glass with additional functions.
- There is significant damage to the glass, which impairs visibility of the road.
Driving with broken glass is dangerous. Poor road visibility can lead to a serious accident. Therefore, you cannot hesitate to replace a worn-out product.

Pricing factors
The cost of a windshield for a VAZ 2114 varies greatly at different sales points. Novice motorists do not understand such a wide price range. Experts note that the cost of glass directly depends on its quality. A number of other factors also affect the price:
- Thickness.
- Creation technology.
- Tinting.
- Size.

Design
We have already talked about sizes. You all know that windshields have increased strength. This is not the usual glass that is installed in windows with wooden frames.
In the case of the VAZ 2114, the front cover has a three-layer structure - triplex. Two layers of glass are separated by a transparent film. It is this that prevents fragments from scattering to the sides during collisions and impacts.
When replacement is required
Sometimes car owners are faced with the need to replace windshields. There can be many reasons for this, since you never know what will fly into the front of your car.
The main reason for damage to the lobovka is the condition of the roads. Sometimes all it takes is one pebble flying off from under the wheels of the car in front to require glass replacement.
Having received damage to the frontal part of the car, you have to deal with repairs and restoration of the integrity of the glass. And how to do it? Only by replacement.
There are two types of damage:
- Cracks;
- Chips.
Chips usually involve damage to the outer layer of triplex, so such a defect does not cause serious problems. But if a crack has formed on the windshield, immediate action should be taken. Otherwise, the glass may soon fall out, which will lead to accidents and more.
Example of chips
Your actions in case of damage depend on the type of defect.
Type of damage | Actions |
Formation of chips on the surface | You can continue to use the car |
Appearance of cracks | Apply temporary measures to prevent the glass from falling out, and then replace it with a new one. |
Crack on the forehead
Temporary protection
There are several temporary measures that will allow you to keep the headband intact for some time. This is necessary in case you cannot yet find or purchase a spare part.
- Make perpendicular cuts approximately 5 millimeters long along the edges of the crack. To do this, use a glass cutter.
- Make several thin holes along the edges of the crack using a diamond drill bit. This way the crack will not spread further for some time.
- Contact specialized auto repair shops. They know how to weld cracks in such a way that they become invisible.
Temporary measures are only temporary, because soon you will definitely have to replace the front cover. Do not delay this so as not to aggravate the situation.
Glass selection
When choosing a new windshield for your VAZ 2114, focus on several main criteria. This will allow you to purchase a really good product that will last as long as possible.
Selection criterion | Nuances |
Price | Don't try to find the cheapest options. Their quality level is appropriate. Some products today cost up to 1 thousand rubles, but there are also more expensive ones - about 3 thousand rubles. Too expensive is also not an option, since even it can be damaged by an accidentally dropped heavy object. Look for a middle ground - 1500-2000 rubles |
Manufacturer | Take only original spare parts. Avoid analogues from third-party manufacturers and do not buy glass from dismantling shops |
Surface | Before purchasing, check the condition of the glass surface. It should be smooth, transparent, no distortion |
Marking | All glass is marked. From it you can determine what type of product it is and who made it. |

- Duplex (a protective film is applied to one side to retain fragments when the product breaks).
- Multilayer (three or more glasses connected by film).
Additional options include auto glass:
- Partially heated.
- Fully heated.

All windshields are divided into two types - tempered and triplex. Tempered glass consists only of the glass itself. It withstands weak impacts well, but if a large stone hits it, it simply crumbles into small fragments.
Nowadays, such glass is installed only on side doors, in the body and as a rear window. Tempered windshields are not produced, but they can sometimes be found on sale, especially for older car models.
Triplex glass consists of two layers of glass bonded together with a polymer film. Upon impact, it simply cracks; fragments do not fall into the passenger compartment and cannot harm the driver and passengers.
That is why, when choosing a windshield, you need to buy only triplex. It is easy to distinguish it from tempered glass - a polymer film is clearly visible at the end of such glass.
Operating principle
Glass can have several heating circuits and several operating patterns, for example, “south” and “north”.
When the “north” circuit is turned on, the driver’s side warms up as much as possible first. Then the passenger side heat is turned on, and then both zones are heated to the set minimum.
When the “south” circuit is turned on, the entire surface heats up evenly and quickly. This results in more energy consumption and more time spent removing snow and ice.
The work of the timer is to determine the time after which the heated windshield of the VAZ 2114 is turned off. The shutdown interval depends on weather situations and is set by the control unit.
How to install a heated windshield on a VAZ 2114?
You need to purchase the following parts from the auto store:
- Windshield;
- electrical fuse;
- heating switch button;
- heating relay;
- wires.
The installation consists of several stages:
- Dismantling.
- Removing glue.
- Soldering the terminals of thermal wires and power wires.
- Output of power wires to the engine compartment.
- Glass installation.
- Connecting wires to power and control unit.
After dismantling and removing the adhesive composition, leads from the heating zones are found on the edges of the new glass. Wires are soldered to the terminals through which current will flow.
The power wires for heating zones must have a cross-sectional area of at least 2.5-3 mm.
The soldering points are covered with insulation from a heat gun. After the power wires are brought out into the engine compartment, the glass is installed in place.
The wires are connected to the car's electrical network. The power cable is connected to the battery through a fuse. The second wire is connected to the control unit with heating and a timer that sets the glass heating intervals. The heating control unit is located inside the vehicle.
How to choose glass
Before choosing it, you should pay attention to the following criteria:
- price. Don't chase cheapness;
- buy the original, not an analogue or from disassembly;
- the surface must be smooth, even, transparent and reflective without distortion;
- look at the markings, determine the manufacturer and type of glass.
A windshield is not that expensive, you can find not very expensive ones up to 1000 rubles, there are also expensive Olimpia or BOR glasses, the price for them reaches 3000 rubles.
