Front and rear wing for VAZ 2114 - replacement and repair

The VAZ 2114 is a restyling of the five-door hatchback VAZ 2109, the model was produced until 2013 by the Volzhsky Automobile Plant and continued the Samara-2 family. Unlike its predecessor, the fourteenth model received an update in the front part of the body: a modified radiator grille, bumper, and moldings. The power unit was supplemented with a new engine from the VAZ 2111 line.

The rear wing of the VAZ 2114 is not a frequent consumable; the part must be replaced after mechanical damage during an accident, if there is a metal rupture. Unlike the front fender and sills, the rear wheel arch and fender as a whole are not so affected by corrosion; the element is more protected from water and dirt. The first repairs using the VAZ 2114 rear wing repair insert begin three years after purchasing a new car.

Replacing the rear wing on a VAZ 2113, VAZ 2114, VAZ 2115

Welcome! The rear wing is an exterior detail (the exterior is what is on the outside, it includes various kinds of bumpers, sills, etc.) and a very important detail, besides the fact that it gives the car an appearance, it is also the internal metal from protects against corrosion, so first of all the fenders, sills, etc. rot, and only then, everything that is located under them.
Note! To change the rear fender on a car, you will have to stock up on: A grinder or a reciprocating saw will be even more convenient and there is less chance that the body will be damaged, and you will also need a good welder, or if you know how to weld parts yourself, then you can do without a welder, in addition You will need gloves to work with a saw and especially welding, and you will also need self-tapping screws!

Summary:

When should you replace your rear fender? Unfortunately, the rear fenders are one of the most difficult to replace parts, for example, if you take the front fenders, they are attached with just a couple of bolts, after unscrewing them, the wings can be very easily removed from the car, but in order to change the rear fenders, you need a lot of time and nerves, but more on that a little later, and now we’ll answer the question itself, the rear wing of a car is changed only in case of severe deformation, although many people drive with deformed wings, it’s just that if the wing is not touched too much, then the dent is simply not possible straighten, this is done using special tools that come in a dent removal kit (This kit can be bought at a car store), for more details on how this is all done, see the video clip located just below:

How to replace the rear wing on a VAZ 2113-VAZ 2115?

Removal: It is removed, as you already understood, it is not as easy as the front one, for example, because the rear wing is held on by welding, you will only need to cut off part of the wing in any place convenient for you and put a new wing in the same place (Usually the rear wings are sold in different sizes, that is, you can find a whole wing from top to bottom, or you can just find a wing that you insert into the middle and it won’t reach the very bottom, but it’s better to take the entire wing and then it adjust, cutting off not much at a time), it is best to cut off as we mentioned earlier, either with a grinder or with a reciprocating saw, as soon as the wing is cut off, remove it from the car and take sandpaper in your hands and if you find rust on the body, then remove as much of it as you can using sandpaper and another primer, and then apply paint so that the body rots less.

Note! When replacing a wing, remove all parts that interfere with its cutting, for example, remove the mirror from this wing so as not to damage it (The mirror at the rear wing can be removed like a windshield, so read the article on replacing the windshield and study it in detail, after studying you and the glass in exactly the same way, remove from the wing: “Replacing the windshield on a VAZ”), also if the rear light is in the way, then remove it too (For information on how to remove the light, read the article: “Replacing the rear light on a car”) and You will also have to remove the trim from the trunk, you can simply burn it when you weld the wing to the car body!

Installation: The wing is installed using the fitting method, that is, at the beginning it is fixed with screws and looks from the side to see if the wing fits or does not fit smoothly (pay special attention to the gaps), the excess part from the wing always needs to be cut off and as soon as it gets to the point where the wing is all straight, start welding it, as soon as the work of welding the wing is completed, clean all those places where the welding is visible and level these places (you can use the same sandpaper to level the welding place), then prime the wing (Primer is like paint if you don’t know yet, it should be applied first and only after that, the paint itself should lie on it) and paint it in the color you want, for clarity, the rear wing welded to the body can be seen in two photographs below, they even show the places where the wing is welded to the body.

Additional video clip: You can clearly see the process of replacing the rear wing in the video located just below, it doesn’t show much of everything, but the process of replacing the rear wing with a new one is explained in detail.

How to prepare a car and what tools are needed

Before starting a full-fledged repair, it is necessary to prepare the cars, select the necessary tools for dismantling, installation and related work. The rear fenders are installed on the body by spot welding; to replace them, the part must be cut out from the car. The front part is installed with self-tapping screws from the manufacturer's factory.

1. The car is installed on an overpass or other flat surface, preferably above floor level. If this is not possible, then you need to jack up the car.
2. The battery is removed.
3. When replacing, the bumper and trim are removed.
4. Before removing the front bumper, the fog lamp terminals are disconnected.

To dismantle the bumper you will need the following tools:

• Phillips screwdriver, flat;
• set of wrenches;
• knife;
• pliers;

If repairs are required, you should prepare an anti-corrosion kit, automotive primer, and auto enamel. To dismantle the rear wing you will need:

• chisel with a sharp edge;
• Sander;
• sandpaper R-80;
• semi-automatic welding;
• anti-corrosion mastic, primer;
• putty, set of spatulas;
• auto enamel.

Rear wings are considered difficult to repair and replace parts for the VAZ 2114. When replacing an element, it is recommended to carefully inspect the part and replace it partially if there is a small defect. Original repair kits offer both a solid element and repair inserts. The price of an original complete replica of the front wing starts from 2,500 rubles, the rear from 7,000. Replacing part of a replica with a complete element is easier and cheaper.

How to hide rust on the arches of VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115

If installing a completely new body kit seems very expensive, then we can offer to buy arch trims for VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115.

The covers will hide imperfections (for example, damage to the edge of the fender due to rust) and give the car a finished appearance. These linings are made of ABS plastic, and therefore they are not afraid of rust and rotting. Plastic arches of VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115 are sold unpainted; you can paint them yourself in any color.

We would like to note that you must first adjust the linings and then paint them. Since plastic molding is not always accurate, it is necessary to adjust it “on site”.

Another important factor will be the treatment of places where there will be rust at the fastening point. It is best to do this with a rust converter, such as Tsinkar, as it removes rust well. But, if the rust cannot be removed with this liquid, then you can use sandpaper.

Do not leave rust under the trim! Under the trim it will spread across the entire wing. Therefore, it is better to process everything and secure the overlay. This is done very simply using sealant. But there are some subtleties:

• Before applying the sealant, it is better, of course, to apply the trim evenly and trace it along the contour with pencils. Do not press too hard on the pencil, but so that a barely noticeable mark remains, and not a scratch. This will allow you to set the trim level and not move it when the sealant is applied to it;
• Before fixing the cover, thoroughly clean the area from dirt and degrease.
• now, after applying the sealant to the edges of the lining, lean it along the line that you made with a pencil;
• Now you will need mounting tape to secure the trim until the sealant sets;
• It is advisable not to drive a car for at least 12 hours;
• Carry out the same manipulations with the remaining 3 overlays.

Linings for wing arches of VAZ 2115

Tuning... and a wide smile... :))

Blog... come on. I moved it from the blog to the logbook, that’s more accurate.

I decided to share my experience of installing linings on the wing arches. When I decided to do it, I couldn’t find almost anything useful for myself on the Internet (I didn’t search well), hence some difficulties.

For the story and for the seemingly technical solutions, don’t blame me, I’m not a pro and not even an amateur :))

My wing arches are quite, that is, in decent condition, except for the driver's front (the edge to which the fender liner is attached has practically fallen off). Immediately after purchase, the machine was very well processed. I bought it in January 2005, in the showroom :))

But, in a circle, although not much, the paint swells (only around the fender liners). My opinion: these protective fender liners are the cause of corrosion, which starts from the attachment points, IMHO.

In general, we clean the farm from dirt and rust. Used: skins, rust converter, applied epoxy primer, Movil

I bought it for my 14, something like in the photo from the Internet,

the pads are something like this

At the car market for 400 rubles, for painting. Retreat.

I will write - as I would do now, having some experience, but with a commentary - as it really was.

• First. Why the main problems are the GEOMETRY and SIZES of the overlays, Therefore, try on and try on so that they fit according to the max, But this is not always possible (for example, the seller will not allow you to choose) I took the first ones I came across, tightly wrapped in tape... Not a single one hit the mark place. Let me note that you can make a mistake and confuse the left with the right, especially considering that the geometry and dimensions turned out to be INCORRECT.
• Second. CUSTOMIZE first and then PAINT. Your humble servant did the opposite. First I painted it. About painting. I used a can of HOLEX - 220 rubles (after painting there was a lot left), instead of primer, gray paint for HI-Gear bumpers (was), KUDO varnish - 150 rubles (easy to apply, hard to put on the snot) There are no plans to polish. I adjusted the already painted ones to the place. The rear ones were sawed out and ground down (they turned out to be somehow much shorter and the bend was steeper) The front ones: the left one is longer, the right one is shorter, the bend is normal (almost)
• Third. Main. We have painted and fitted overlays. Need to glue...

What I found on the Internet is that polyurethane adhesive-sealant is well suited for these purposes; I bought KRASS glue at a hardware store for about 500 rubles.

What are universal wheel arch covers?

Wheel arches are often considered by most drivers to be the inner parts of the wings, although they are different parts of the car body. The wheels of the car are “hidden” in the arches; they protect the remaining elements of the body from impacts from stones and the adhesion of dirt.

The arches themselves are subject to aggressive environmental influences; the edges of the part are the first to be destroyed, and over time they rust and become deformed. There are special parts for protection. Their second name is wheel arch extensions or fenders.

Arch extensions are classified into three groups:

• Original spare parts. Parts are intended only for a certain brand of car, for example, standard fender flares for the VAZ 2114 and their replicas.
• Homemade, made with your own hands.
• Universal. Suitable for almost any car, not only the VAZ model range. Replicas are made to a specific shape from plastic or rubber.

1. Protection of wheel arches from corrosion.
2. Preventing small chips and scratches of the paintwork resulting from the ejection of dirt and stones from under the wheels. Due to the peculiarities of the configuration, the modifications most susceptible to damage are the VAZ 2109 and the restyled version 21099.
3. Protection of thresholds, fenders, car doors from dirt.
4. Improved appearance. Fenders give the car a more brutal look. For example, for the VAZ 2115, the fender arches of an exclusive design have an additional extension that is connected to the body kit.

Universal rubber expanders are a budget-friendly, easy-to-install option. They are produced in rolls of 5, 10 or more meters, the price for 1 meter starts from 50 rubles. They are very easy to install - just measure, cut the required length, and glue.

Rubber fenders do not improve the appearance of the car. Their only function is to protect car body elements from aggressive environmental influences. You can install a spare part in 20 minutes by gluing the part with special glue.

Plastic lining for the arches of the VAZ 2114 is also a budget option, but more labor-intensive. The elements are made of ABC plastic, polystyrene with the addition of hardeners, and have different thicknesses and arc shapes.

Unlike rubber fenders, plastic fenders, in addition to protection, serve as tuning elements and improve the appearance of the car.

Manufacturers

The wing trim for VAZ 2114, 2110, 2111, 2112 remains a frequent consumable; on average, the part is replaced every 10-15,000 km. In addition, every year more and more drivers seek to protect or decorate their car with the help of fenders. There are more than 30 companies and small firms on the market, not all of them produce high-quality spare parts. We list the most popular and reliable of them:

1. "Russian Artel" (RA). The material used is ABS plastic (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), it is suitable for making fenders. The arches have a smooth surface and are intended for painting only. The complete kit includes products for all wheels, fasteners, primer, and in some kits a bottle of anti-gravel. The cost of a set of 4 extenders starts from 700 rubles, the part can be attached either with bolts or with auto glue.
2. "A hundred times." Along with other parts for cars, it also produces universal wheel arch covers for VAZ models. The main material is high-quality black rubber. In addition to the linings themselves, the kit includes self-tapping screws and mounting plates. The price of the set is 100 rubles.
3. Lapter. It produces power wheel arch extensions for SUVs, including for the VAZ 2121. The manufacturing material is high-density polyethylene with special additives, the composition of which was developed by specialists of this company and is kept secret.

Repair kit

If you need to replace the rear left wing of a VAZ 2114, which has significant deformation, it is recommended to purchase a complete repair kit, which includes two sidewall panels, moldings, bolts, and inserts. The number that the AvtoVAZ manufacturer uses for its repair kits for 2114 is 21090-5401065-00. In addition to the main enterprise, parts for the Lada are produced by companies and experimental workshops:

All replicas are supplied in original packaging; parts are made from black steel up to 0.8 mm thick. The part must be covered with transport primer.

Installation

Installing linings on the rear or front arches of a car is quite simple; reinstalling one panel takes about 40 minutes. Let us consider, as an example, the procedure for installing “Russian Artel” plastic overlays on the front arch of a VAZ 2120 Lada Largus.

Required tools and materials:

• T20 key;
• screwdriver or electric drill;
• sharp knife;
• pushsalo, paraffin anticorrosive for treating the inner surface of the arch.

1. Wash and dry the car to make it easier to reach the hidden arch pockets, use a Karcher. Each trim is marked on the inside indicating where each panel will be installed.
2. Apply primer to the inner edge of the fender; plastic primer is included in the kit.
3. Glue the sealing profile to the upper parts of the expander parts.
4. Degrease with alcohol wipes the areas where the profile contacts the double-sided tape.
5. Bend back 3–4 cm of the adhesive tape attached to the profile.
6. Pressing the profile against the expander, gradually pull out the protective film along the entire length of the expander.
7. Cut off excess seal.
8. Repeat this operation for all parts.
9. Using a T20 wrench, unscrew the two self-tapping screws of the front wheel fender liner.
10. Remove the standard front wheel arch trim.
11. Unscrew the three screws and remove the mudguard.
12. Remove the remainder of the old double-sided tape from the car fender.
13. Attach a new cover and screw it with standard self-tapping screws through the technical holes.

Before screwing them in, they should be treated with pushsal, this will prevent electrochemical corrosion at the joints.

Algorithm of actions

Dismantling and subsequent insertion of the front wing takes up to 1 hour, even for inexperienced craftsmen. It is important to perform the entire sequence of actions correctly:

1. Unscrew the two nuts in the bumper fasteners and lower the edge of the bumper down.
2. Remove the outer part of the sill trim.
3. Remove the headlight cover.
4. Remove the turn signal from the headlight.
5. Remove the side turn signal.
   

   To quickly remove the side turn signal, you need to squeeze the latch, disconnect the block, pull out the block with the socket and the light bulb, and push the socket inside.

6. Using a 10mm wrench, unscrew the self-tapping screw that secures the part to the bracket.
7. Unscrew the screws under the threshold, two bolts that secure the part to the rack, they are located on the inside.
8. Unscrew the 4 bolts that connect the element and the front part of the body.
9. Using a knife, cut off the sealant on which the wing is mounted on its top shelf on the body.

Features of the material

One of the main materials from which fender linings for VAZ cars are made is ABS plastic. It is used due to its optimal characteristics:

• Plastic. A product made of ABS plastic can change its shape when heated without changing its performance properties. For example, if the expander does not fit tightly to the wing due to some kind of defect (convexity, concavity), then it is enough to heat it with a hair dryer so that it takes the desired shape.
• Flexibility. A fender made of ABS plastic or polystyrene can be bent without fear of it breaking. The universal trim is easy to install on wheel arches of any diameter.
• Softness. In many cases, when installing the lining, it is necessary to adjust the length, i.e., cut it. This can be easily done with a simple knife or hacksaw. To make the cut area look neat, just wipe it with a piece of waffle towel soaked in acetone.

Metal extensions on VAZs are used quite rarely; they are made to order for a specific model and are not produced as standard.

vendor code

Part markings on the VAZ-2110 are divided into right and left parts. To select the correct wing, you must have the catalog number, as it can be confused with another model. Part numbers look like this:

• 2110-8404014 – rear right wing of VAZ-2110;
• 2110-8404015 — rear left fender of VAZ-2110.

There are also markings in which a zero is placed instead of a hyphen, and numbers are added at the end: -10 or 77.

2110 VAZ: rear right wing, its repair and replacement

VAZ 2110 rear right fender

If the rear right wing of a 2110 VAZ car is damaged, it will either have to be replaced or repaired. The second option is, of course, cheaper, but it is more difficult to implement.

Still, on a VAZ 2110, the rear right wing can be repaired without any problems if you know certain secrets, which will be discussed in this article.
