I decided to replace the velvet covers, since the glass shakes loudly when open :) Looking ahead, I’ll say that it didn’t really help, i.e. The noise from glass has decreased by 60 percent.
But the velvet covers need to be changed. I have covered 92,000 km in 4 years and this is what the old velvet tires look like
Price: 500 rubles for a set of internal ones + 500 rubles for external ones = 1000 rubles (it’s strange why they are sold this way, and not as a set for the door)
I did it the barbaric way but without removing the upholstery. The task is to get at least the tip of the inner velvet in any way.
— we listen to the external velvet. CAREFULLY, do not break the lining (there are plastics at the ends. Use a screwdriver from above to pry in the area of the sealing rubber and carefully remove the end of the velvet from this plastic
Well, then we put everything on and push it inside
Almost immediately after starting to use the car, especially closer to summer when sand and wind appeared, I began to notice that the standard door glass seals (in common parlance, “marigolds”) slightly scratched the glass. I have long wanted to replace them with better ones in the hope of avoiding scratching, and I recently bought velvet covers at the car market and installed them today.
Both VAZ and Croatian marigolds for Kalina are for sale. I took the last ones and they cost me 500 rubles for a set of internal and external ones.
Purely visually, the already installed “velvets” do not differ in anything, but the difference “inside” is visible further in the photos.
The most painful thing is to remove the old velvets. In principle, if the old ones are not needed, you can break them mercilessly! If you still want to save it just in case, then you will have to remove the door trim. This process is simple, described in all books on Kalina, unscrew the screws and bolts, remove the handles, unscrew the door lock pin and pull the trim off the latches, do not forget to disconnect the power window connector. By the way, I would take a dozen latches in reserve because they can break; I broke a couple on one door.
Replacement process
Note! First you need to remove the door trim.
Dismantling
So, the door lock pin is manually turned away. This may be difficult to do, so it is recommended to use a Phillips screwdriver. After this, you will need to remove the decorative insert from the inside door handle. Next you need to unscrew 2 screws from the handle and 3 from under the pocket. When turning forward, the handle can be easily removed.

If there are front speakers, they also need to be removed. If there are mechanical window lifters on the VAZ, you need to carefully unhook the fixing bracket with a screwdriver and remove the handle. Usually the casing is secured with plastic pistons, which often break, so it is advisable to buy them with a sufficient supply. Since it is unlikely that the casing can be easily removed, it is recommended to use a screwdriver, but it must be wrapped with electrical tape so as not to scratch the paint.

You will also need to remove the glass seal from the inside. If you rush the process, you can tear this layer. Only after these steps can you safely remove the glass. To do this, you need to unscrew the two nuts located on the window lifter holder.
Note! It is necessary to remove and place the glass at an angle. The glass needs to be pulled out from the metal holder with the old rubber band. This can be done using a screwdriver, slightly unbending the holder.
Installation
Replacing the side glass on a VAZ 2110
After removing the old glass, it's time to start installing the new one in the holder. This process must be carried out in a certain sequence:
- the glass is first tried on the holder, and it does not need to be inserted either into the holder itself or into the window lifter mount;
- It is advisable to do the glass replacement with an assistant, since he will hold the door with the glass inserted while the technician tries on the holder for the glass and window lifter. You need to make a special mark on the glass with a marker or something else;
- Now everything is pulled out again. The upper edge of the glass is placed on a wooden support, while a piece of raw rubber is placed on the lower part (you can buy it in the same place as the glass itself). Next, according to the markings, a metal holder is attached. After this, gently tap the holder with a hammer until it sits completely;
- At the end of the process, the glass is installed in its place, following the reverse sequence. The door trim should be installed with gentle blows in the area of the pistons. As a result of the blows, they must enter their nests. For better reliability, they can be guided with a screwdriver.
How to replace the side glass of a VAZ 2110
Cut the glass seals
AvtoVAZ has already found a solution to this global problem and dealers have a corresponding order. To prevent Vesta's glass from being scratched, you need to remove the seals (pry them off with a screwdriver) and cut off a couple of their lower edges using a utility knife.
If you modify the glass velvets yourself, do not overdo it, otherwise the glass may rattle due to its insufficient adhesion (pressure). We recommend that you contact an authorized dealer for warranty.
Installation of external seals
Note. When installing new side windows on a VAZ 2110, you need to take care of installing the seals. As a rule, external glass seals perform many functions, for example, they press the glass along the entire perimeter, protecting against water penetration into the door. In addition, they help reduce wind noise.
Few people know that external seals can be different:
- “velvets” are placed horizontally at the bottom of the glass;
- The “edging” is placed along the contour of the glass.
Over time, marigolds accumulate sand and dirt underneath them. When opening a window, glass and tinting often get scratched. To prevent such a nuisance, it is advisable to periodically clean the marigolds. In this case, it is recommended to replace them with similar ones from LADA Priora. It is worth noting that two types of velvet covers are produced for Lada Priora cars, this is a new and an old model. The second type does not have significant differences, so let’s pay attention to installing a new sample. Such elements look better and are made of higher quality. Before installation it will be useful to watch this video.
- for ease of work, the glass is lowered as far as possible;
- a thin screwdriver is inserted into the groove of the velvet cloth;
- The screwdriver is slightly pressed down and moved towards the glass. Thus, the velvet can be easily removed from the hooks, as in the photo;

And so, as for the skin, which managed to become an integral part of automotive design even at the stage of formation of a new vehicle. It is worth immediately noting that different upholstery materials have been invented and used for different vehicles. And of course, it’s no secret that such materials, and even natural leather, quickly become unattractive, that is, the upholstery gets dirty. Agree that with large stains or scuffs, a car is not very convenient to use, which is why there is a need to replace the material or clean the interior using chemical ingredients. If you visit special stores, you will notice that at the moment modern manufacturers have come up with quite a large number of such drugs. And for this we need to wisely choose the cleaning product we need. Please also pay attention to the fact that to clean the seats of your car interior, there is absolutely no need to dismantle the car seats. And so, here the question arises about how to carry out the necessary work regarding the process of cleaning our car interior.
But still, I would like to say that dismantling car seats can be done using a very simple method. And to do this, you only need to adhere to a certain order of actions. In addition, it is worth noting that during the dismantling process the main thing is not to break or spoil anything, otherwise more complex issues will have to be resolved.
So, where to start? First, we need to open the doors of our vehicle. Secondly, you need to correctly unscrew the handles on car doors. It is worth remembering that car door handles are held on with just a few bolts, which can be unscrewed quite easily using special additional equipment. In cases where this is not the case, that is, the handles of our car doors are difficult to remove, then, as a rule, the reason is that on these very doors there are buttons for electric car door window lifts. And for this it is necessary to disconnect the system of their electrical wires.
Now you can carry out work on unscrewing the rod of car door locks. But it is worth noting that they have a plastic form of their material, and that is why you need to be extremely careful and careful with them. Please note that the location of these same plastic rods is the upper part of the car trim. Now, as for the fact that in your car interior there are acoustic podiums or the simplest holes for music speakers. And in order to remove them, you also need to disconnect the electrical wiring and only then completely undergo the dismantling process. But here we should not forget that it is first necessary to remove the negative terminal of our vehicle. Remember that it is necessary to remove the terminal of the car battery in order to prevent a short circuit, as this may later cause the need for repair work.
Now you can begin the next step in the automotive work process. And so, now you need to unscrew all the existing screws, and only after that you can completely remove the car door trim. At the same time, we can remove the noise insulation of our doorway.
Now you can begin the process of removing the rubber seal elements. Please note that the second name for such a device is velvet. Of course, everyone knows that it is located along the entire contour of the car glass (that is, the window opening). Pay attention to the fact that it is at this stage that all work can be done regarding the process of sealing each door of your car, since excess water and other evaporation can penetrate through this space. But for this you just need to buy a new velvet or carry out work along with special sealants. But it’s worth noting that such a procedure can greatly affect the operation of a car engine called ESP. And to avoid this, you need to pay attention to the fact that the rubber band must fit tightly to the surface of the glass window. In the second way, you can install a new sealing system, and as a result you can only put everything in its “original” place.
And so, as a visual aid, we decided to use a domestic vehicle called the Lada Kalina. And so, where to purchase the material that is necessary for the process of carrying out the cladding system. Of course, this can be done in any specialized store. It is worth noting that such variants of cladding material can be presented in a variety of color categories, this will decorate even the most boring life of any car owner. Pay attention to the fact that the casing can be assembled using a special plastic plate; as a result of using it, you can achieve a complete absence of squeaks and extraneous sounds.
It is worth noting that the process of assembling the doors is in the complete sequence of how we carried out the disassembly process. Here you need to remember that you cannot forget a single detail and not a single bolt of your car interior. In addition, it is worth noting that the velvet covers for a car called “Lada Kalina” are changed in exactly the same way.
It is worth noting that modern trends allow you to take a slightly different look at the usual doors of your vehicle. Reupholstering the doors of your vehicle has also gained popularity. And for this you need to use fabric or genuine leather. It is also worth noting that genuine leather can last much longer than its substitute; this is also worth remembering and should not be forgotten. Of course, it’s no secret that you need to spend quite a large amount of your financial resources on natural leather, but believe me, it’s worth it, as the effect will be amazing.
And so, of course, you need to turn to the process of purchasing a part called velvet. It can be purchased not only at an automotive specialty store, but also at the automobile market. It is worth noting that you can find quite a wide variety of options on the market. In addition, it is worth noting that options can be presented not only in a large color category, but also relative to their price category, which is quite important. But it’s worth noting that the fact is that they will sell you a low-quality and unreliable product, and you will waste your financial resources. In addition, it is worth noting that the methods for selecting velvet must be done correctly. And so, you need to select exactly the kind of velvet cloth that can withstand all, that is, any temperature conditions. In addition, high-quality velvet will allow you to competently ensure the level of thermal conditions of your vehicle. It is worth noting that the material in this text can radically solve all the questions you have regarding the methods of velvet devices and the process of installing door trim elements of your car or vehicle.
