The procedure for removing and installing the front door trim on the VAZ 2114 and 2115

First, open the car door and use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the three screws securing the lower podium (pocket).

After this, carefully move it down and disconnect it from the upholstery body, as shown in the photo below.

We turn it over with the outer side facing us and see the plug for connecting to the power window control buttons.

Using a thin screwdriver or the sharp edge of a knife, press the latch through a special hole and pull the block, thereby disconnecting it.

The result of the work performed is shown below.

Now unscrew the screws securing the front speakers, if they are installed on your car.

We take it aside and disconnect the power wires.

Now use a screwdriver or hand force to pry up the inner lining of the door handle:

Having turned it almost 360 degrees, we remove it completely.

Now we need a sharp knife. With its help, we adjust the door handle, as shown in the photo below.

We take it out and unscrew the two fastening screws under it.

Then you can remove it, since it is not attached to anything else.

Now unscrew the top cap from the rod that locks the door lock and remove it:

Carefully, starting from the bottom corner, we begin to pry the door trim of the VAZ 2114-2115, and carefully try to tear it off the clips on which it is attached to the base of the door. You should not make sudden movements, so as not to damage the mounting points.

Carefully moving the trim to the side along the entire perimeter, we remove it, having previously disengaged the door lock rod from above, I think that everyone understood what we were talking about.

Now you can begin the work that was planned, be it repairing power windows, replacing glass, locks, or just simply replacing the trim with a new one. Regarding the price of new upholstery, it is worth saying that a set of new ones will cost from 3,500 to 5,000 rubles, depending on the type and manufacturer. Installation occurs in reverse order.

Main stages

Plastic is considered a wear-resistant coating. Rubber is characterized by high noise insulation and rapid wear. The device is adjusted after treating the main elements with silicone grease. Experts recommend using a composition that retains its elasticity and sound insulation characteristics at low ambient temperatures.

In auto stores you can buy a simplified version of a silent lock. To install the mechanism, you will need to open and lock the door. Then unscrew the bolts that secure the lock. The impact driver is applied to the top bolt. They deliver light blows. If necessary, this procedure is repeated.

Auto mechanics prohibit simultaneous unscrewing of 2 mounting bolts. Otherwise, the inner lock will fall. In this situation, you will need to open the door and remove the top and bottom bolts. Then turn the outer lock body. After dismantling the case, a new lock is installed. The fasteners are screwed in one by one. The bare pin of the latch is replaced with a silent analogue. It will take 20 minutes to install 4 door locks. Then the VAZ doors are glued using the method described above. This work is done by two people.

1. Remove the door trim. How to remove the door trim on a VAZ 2114, 2115? 2. Apply the podium to the door trim. (Fig. 1) 3. From the inside, through the door trim, we fasten the podium with two galvanized screws 4.2×16. (Fig. 2) 4. We cut through the door trim for the speaker (for VAZ 2114, 2115 podiums, we cut through the door trim to connect the wires to the power window button). (Fig. 3) 5. Secure the podium around the entire perimeter with 4.2×16 self-tapping screws. (Fig. 4) 6. We check the “hedgehogs” of the fastening of the casing - we replace the bad ones. 7. For VAZ 2114, 2115 podiums, we install and connect power window buttons. We carefully cut through the skin, leaving allowances along the edges! (Fig. 5) 8. Install the trim back on the door. (Fig. 6) 9. Through the petals in the podium (in the hole for the speaker), we screw two 3.5×41 screws through the casing into the iron. This allows the podium and trim to be firmly secured to the door. (Fig. 7) 10. From below, under the podium pocket, trying to ensure that the heads of the screws are not visible and do not touch the podium, we screw the trim to the door - into the iron with two 3.5x25 self-tapping screws. (Fig. 8) 11. Connect the speaker. (Fig. 9) 12. Install the speaker and its grid.

Good day to all! I think I said it, but I’ll repeat it... At the beginning of May, I purchased door trims from 2114. I was tired of the creaks of door trims on 2109, so the first thing after purchasing the trims was to look for the so-called “pistons” from Gazelle. To my surprise, I searched for a long time, and in the end I found it, of course! I took with a reserve: 30 pcs. piston from Gazelle (set: piston, self-tapping screw, plug) - 16 rubles * 30 = 480 rubles 30 pcs. clip shelf s/o 2108 - 5 rubles * 30 = 150 rubles

Everyone knows that Russian cars are a rattle, and a dozen are no exception. Some try to somehow deal with the creaking and rattling in the cabin, and some turn up the music louder and do not pay attention to all this. If you belong to the first category of people, then this article may be useful to you.

How to disassemble the door of a VAZ 2114 and remove the trim? Do-it-yourself front and back – EASY

Since VAZ cars are very popular in our country, I often receive questions from motorists regarding maintenance. Especially from owners of 2114, 2115 and sometimes 2113! For some reason, young people choose these particular options. And often very often, owners are interested in the following question - how to disassemble a door or remove the trim? For example, install acoustics, repair a window regulator, or simply glue it to improve sound insulation. Since I also had a VAZ 2114, and also disassembled the front and rear doors, today I want to “throw out” a small instruction that will help you in this matter...

THE CONTENT OF THE ARTICLE

I will try to answer all the questions at once, that is, removing both the front and rear door trims. In fact, there is nothing complicated here, the main thing is to strictly follow all the instructions.

Selection and replacement of glass

When purchasing a windshield for a VAZ 2114 car, you need to take into account several important circumstances that influence the choice of a high-quality and durable product.

There are two ways to directly replace any damaged car part:

With the help of specialists at the service center;
Independently, with the help of others.

If you are not confident in your abilities, do not skimp on installing a windshield and trust the professionals.

If you nevertheless decide to use a more complex but budget option, that is, you are going to install the windshield yourself, you should remember that replacing the windshield of a VAZ 2114 is carried out approximately in the following order.

Free the removable windshield from the antenna, mirror, alarm, video recorder and other foreign objects that may be on it or glued to it. Remove the side trims on both sides. Remove the old windshield using gentle pressure from the inside. Start squeezing the “lobovka” outward from any angle convenient for you. Make sure that the seal is also removed from the car along with it. Take a closer look; if the parts are difficult to remove manually, use a flat-head screwdriver made of reliable metal. Pry up the part using the tool as a lever, this will make the glass come out faster. Squeeze the rubber seal over the metal edge of the body. At the same time, it will most likely not be possible to remove the triplex intact, since it is already damaged. There is no particular need for this, since using a windshield with numerous cracks poses a danger to the life and health of people in the car. But for your own safety, when removing old glass, use protective gloves to prevent cuts and be extremely careful. After removing the old windshield from the groove, the opening must be properly cleaned, get rid of the remaining sealant. Even if the old sealant remains intact after dismantling the windshield, it is still recommended to purchase a new seal and use it to install a new spare part. Pay attention to the corners of the seal. At the bend points there must be special holes for water to escape - “drainers” or drainage holes. The drainage holes of the seal and the car body must match, otherwise water, if it gets on the glass, will end up in the car interior. The new seal should be well lubricated, for example with sealant or silicone, which will simplify the installation of the new glass. Some experts believe that the use of sealant or silicone, although it makes the glass fit stronger, nevertheless complicates its removal in case of damage

So in this matter, rely on your own opinion. Place a lubricated seal on the new windshield. On the inside of the seal, place a thin thread of nylon around the entire perimeter so that the edges of the thread are in the middle at the bottom of the glass. Enlist the help of a friend: grab the “lobovuha” from different sides and insert it into the opening of your car, and then carefully press it to the seat. Lead the ends of the nylon cord inside the car, that is, into the interior. Next, one person should press the “lobovka”, while the other should carefully pull out the nylon thread from under the seal

When approaching corners, be especially careful, since it is at the bends that the nylon thread is most difficult to remove.

In car services, the process of replacing a windshield generally takes no more than half an hour, while replacing it yourself will take much more time. To make installation easier, special handles with suction cups are used, with which it can be easily lifted and inserted into the opening.

Only you can decide how to replace your windshield - yourself or with the help of specialists. One way or another, the presence of cracks on the windshield indicates the need to replace it as soon as possible. Don't risk your health and the health of your passengers!

Disassembling the front door

1) First, we need to remove the main handle with which the door closes. We press out the decorative trim with a screwdriver, but be careful not to damage it. Next, unscrew the bolts, there are two of them, and remove the handle.

2) Then we remove the decorative trim of the unlocking handle, you know that kind of black plastic, we also pick it up with a screwdriver and pull it out, there are two latches there, be careful.

3) Then you need to remove the lower shelf, in which the window lift buttons are installed, there are two or three bolts there. The shelf comes out together with the power window cable, disconnect them and remove them.

4) Next, as a rule, comes the speaker, it is fastened with 2 - 4 bolts, to be honest, I have seen only one. We unscrew, there are cross-shaped bolts from the factory. Let's remove it.

5) In the upper part, unscrew the locking “latch”; it simply unscrews like a bolt.

6) Everything is removed, now we need to detach the upholstery itself, this is a little more complicated. You can pull the corners, or you can pick it up with a screwdriver and pull it towards you - the main thing is not to break it, we carefully try to separate it. If some rivets are broken (and this will be 100%), don’t worry, we bought new ones

At this point the “analysis” is completed, as you can see, there is nothing complicated and it is also considered that the front part is complex. Let's watch the video.

Everything is much easier at the back.

Stage 5. Putty, primer and painting

Here we are already approaching the finish line. We take fiberglass putty and a rubber spatula and apply a small layer to the surface of the card. Once dry, I used a screwdriver attachment with sanding discs. I took 3 types of sandpaper, 100,400 and 1000.

After drying, you can prime them.

I took regular primer in cans and a spray gun. The only difference is the painting time.

After the primer came black paint as a base and white splashes from the brush.

And here is the final result. Very satisfied. They turned out quite tough and not too heavy.

Material:

Glass mat - 2 meters for 275 rubles.
Lycra-1 linear meter for 500 rubles.
Resin-3 kg for 310 rub.
Rings - 4 pairs for 250 and 1 pair for 170 rubles.
Putty-500 g for 690 rub.

A little advice from me

Guys, if they were just disassembling it about repairing a window regulator or installing speakers. My advice to you is that you can improve the design a little, namely, reduce its airflow. I advise you to read this article.

If you are not ready for such insulation, then you should apply ordinary thick cellophane to the metal, 0.3 mm is enough. We directly cut out the door according to the stencil and glue it to the metal (you can use double tape), after making holes for the handles and bolts. I have seen this on many foreign cars, they have it as a must!

What does this give us:

1) The door will not blow out as quickly during the cold period, which will give us a little more heat. The interior will warm up faster.

2) There will still be fewer crickets, because this layer will not allow plastic and metal to interact directly.

Personally tested on my former VAZ 2114, the interior is really warmer in winter.

I’ll finish here, I think it was useful for you, read our AUTOBLOG.

Stage 3. Pouring resin

Now begins the most interesting and tedious task

It is best to use small disposable containers for mixing the resin; I used the proportions for 100g of resin: 1g of hardener

It is best to use plastic cups for beer, they have thick plastic, which is what we need. When the resin reacts with the hardener, it generates heat that can melt our container.

!Attention! Use resin only in well-ventilated areas, wear a respirator and gloves. I usually spray the outside twice with drying intervals of 2-3 hours. I usually shed the outside 2 times with drying intervals of 2-3 hours

I usually spray the outside twice with drying intervals of 2-3 hours.

Now we pick up a grinder or any other tool for cutting our cards.

Here you can clearly see the bars for rigidity

We cut out the entire inside of our cards, leaving space for the clips.

Remove the back cover

There is no point in repeating the main points; they are almost identical.

See:

In addition, the handle is disassembled and the cover is removed, the top fixing “bolt”. It's just not here. shelves and speakers.

Since there is no power window, that is. there is no gasket that needs to be disconnected. But here there is a regular window handle, as people call it. "oars" or disk on "muscle power". To take it apart, you need to twist it a little using a screwdriver. pull out the lower locking ring. After this, the pen will simply go away by itself.

We repeat the procedure with both the upholstery and the front door, only pulling it slightly. We remember the rivets.

Now a short video.

Something else I want to point out if you read the instructions. It is then recommended to completely change the rivets every time the upholstery is removed. they just lose their characteristics, the antennas fall off, unless I change the memory of 8 pieces on each skin. This threatens this. that on bumpy, rough roads there will be a rumble.

Purpose of the cladding

To understand how to remove the door trim of a VAZ 2114, you need to find out the purpose of this automobile fragment. The fabric insert enhances the appearance of the interior. If stains, mechanical damage or abrasions appear on it, you will need to disassemble the inside of the door, remove the panel, and attach a new lining. Thanks to this element:

the interior becomes more attractive;
additional sound insulation is created;
a speaker is installed in the facing fragment;
electrical wiring and fasteners are hidden;
The corners of the closed plastic panel and iron parts are softened.

The canvas is removed for a number of reasons: increasing sound insulation, installing speakers, deformation, replacing material. There are many options for cladding on the market, but drivers prefer to buy special automotive fabric.

Selecting the material

There is now quite a large selection of materials suitable for the purpose in question. Therefore, choosing the one that suits you best will be quite simple.

Most often used:

Leatherette has a low price, but does not last long. Often cracks.

Genuine leather has gained the reputation of a reliable and durable material. Its only drawback is the high price. It is very convenient to use, and the results are always excellent.

Alcantara has a pleasant appearance and high strength. It is not difficult to care for her. Externally it resembles suede. The color palette allows you to satisfy the most whimsical taste.

Velor, as they say, looks rich on car doors, but wears out very quickly on seats. It needs regular cleaning, as due to its structure, literally everything sticks to it.

Flock looks very similar to velor, but is more practical and easy to clean. He is not afraid of water, he is not afraid of the cold.

Carpet, in fact, is a type of carpet. The difference is that it is softer and more pleasant to the touch. Wear-resistant, ideal stretch. Inexpensive.

Removing the door trim

Dismantling the door structure of the VAZ 2114 and removing the front door will require a set of equipment. To gain access to the panel, which is covered with material, the handle is unscrewed, the electrical wiring is disconnected, the speakers are removed and the clips are removed. Required tool:

You should take care of the place where the work will take place. It is recommended that this be an enclosed room, without drafts and with good lighting. Dismantling instructions:

The plugs under which the connecting bolts are located are removed. The handle secured with two screws is unscrewed.
The bracket leading to the window regulator is removed.
The clips holding the panel come off. You will need to pull it towards you a little, but do not pull it out.
The electrical wiring is disconnected: from the speakers and power windows. If it is not the rear door that needs to be dismantled, then the side view mirror wiring is disconnected.
The decorative item with the covering is removed.

It is easier to remove the clips with a knife, but it is worth wrapping the blade with a rag so as not to accidentally scratch individual body parts. After this, it becomes possible to detach the fabric from the panel and replace the fabric.

Preparing a new canvas

Usually the skin is removed if the panel is deformed or if there is a desire to replace the panel. If the car has been in an accident, the panel part can be replaced with a piece of plywood. The main thing is to take accurate measurements and cut to the exact shape. The same goes for the material. It is purchased in advance, marked and cut out. Its total size is equal to the diameter of the panel, only 2-3 cm is left at the edges for hemming. In addition to the basic set of tools you will need:

To install new sheathing, you will need an adhesive so that the material fits tightly onto the main part.
For internal fastening, you need a construction stapler with staples or hardware. In the latter case, you still need a drill to drill holes.
Additional clips are purchased in advance. When disassembling the door, these fasteners periodically break.

Drivers are offered a variety of materials: leather, substitute, leatherette, auto fabric, Alcantra, carpet. Any of them is suitable for covering. After the old cladding has been separated from the panel and a new piece of fabric has been prepared, all that remains is to secure the material. Stages:

The plywood is coated with glue.
The fabric is stretched.
The folds are straightened out.
Holes are created for self-tapping screws or the canvas is fixed around the perimeter with a stapler.
A hole is cut for the speaker.

It is worth waiting a few hours so that the glue can dry and only then perform reassembly.

Sheathing installation

You need to assemble the cladding along with the other parts in the same sequence as it was disassembled. After the fragment has completely dried, you must:

Insert the column into the hole and mount it into the iron frame of the door.
Connect the electronics.
Secure the lining with clips to the card.
Secure the handle with two bolts.
Replace the plug.

If, before dismantling work begins, contamination is found inside the structure, it is cleaned out. At the same time, it’s worth checking the condition of the wires and tightening the window lift nuts to prevent the door from being disassembled in the near future.

Troubleshooting

If a key or silumin rod breaks, you should not immediately buy a new block with a handle. On sale you can find special repair kits for VAZ 2108-099 door handles, which contain these parts in 2 copies.

This way you will save money and easily change the key yourself by removing the handle using the following sequence of actions:

Remove the decorative panel.
Disconnect the rod connecting it to the locking device from the handle mechanism.
With the glass fully up, unscrew the 2 fastenings of the handle to the door card.
Remove the handle, replace the parts and put it back.

If the rod is disconnected, then you need to remove the inner lining and put it in place, as described above. Using the moment when the facing panel is removed, check what caused the disconnection of this rod so that history does not repeat itself when the door is slammed.

Malfunctions of the locking mechanism can only be eliminated by removing it. In a situation where the device has a lot of wear, as happens on the driver and front passenger doors, it is recommended to replace the lock with a new one.

After removing the trim, it is recommended to carry out anti-corrosion treatment and check the condition of the internal cavities of the door.

If the door does not close, after removing the trim, you need to lubricate the rod of the central locking electric drive with silicone spray.

Sometimes you need to remove the trim from a door when it is jammed. In this case, space is made in the cabin for trim parts and work is carried out from the inside.

To improve sound and heat insulation, foil foam rubber is installed inside the casing. The pattern is made according to the pattern of the old casing. The material is cut with a margin of a few centimeters so that it can be folded. A hole is cut out for the handle. It should be slightly smaller in size than the handle itself. Insulation adhesive is selected depending on the type of material.

Sometimes, after removing the trim, decorative inserts are replaced. Typically, leatherette, Alcantara, carlet and tapestry fabrics are used for replacement.

Replacing the outer door handle on a VAZ 2114

Replacing the window regulator

To replace the window regulator, you need an extension, a wrench and a 10 mm socket.

Having freed the front door from the trim, remove the 2 bolts securing the glass to the bar. Usually they are tightened tightly, so it is more convenient to use the head as a lever.

Remove three nuts securing the electric motor, one nut under the glass, two in the center and one nut at the bottom of the door.

After removing all the nuts, disconnect the power plug from the electric motor.

The window regulator is removed from the studs and taken out of the cavity into the technological hole in the center of the door. Installing the window regulator occurs in the reverse order.

After removing the structure, the electric motor is first checked. If it is faulty, it is replaced. If the cause of the breakdown is not obvious, replace the window regulator.

Glass replacement

It is better to buy glass and a glass holder as a set for replacement.

To replace, you need an extension, a wrench, an 8 and 10 mm socket and an assistant.

The side glass is blocked with a screwdriver to prevent it from falling out. The door trim is removed. A felt-tip pen marks the places where the glass frame is attached to the door on the frame and on the door. The bolts securing the glass frame to the window regulator are turned out.

The window regulator bar must be fully raised. The cable on the roller from the bottom of the glass is dismantled. Then the seals (velvet covers) are carefully removed.

Hold the glass during this time so that it does not fall out. After removing the seals, the glass is lowered down about 10 cm, tilted to the side and removed from the groove.

The new glass is installed in the reverse order. Apply WD-40 or a similar lubricant to the glass frame, insert the glass and leave to dry. After the grease has dried, the glass is installed in the door. New glass is installed in the seals.

If the seals have become unusable, new ones are cut out of rubber, while the old ones are used as patterns.

The glass with seals is inserted into the groove, aligned and lowered into the stopper. The window lifter handle is lowered to its lowest position. The glass is fixed with bolts and the cable is installed in its original place.

The operation of the window regulator is checked and, if necessary, the cable tension and the position of the seals are changed.

How to put

You will need outside help during installation.

The glass is inserted into the lower groove, and only then carefully around the entire perimeter. As you insert the windshield, pull out the cord to fit the seal tightly and efficiently.

Be careful when pulling the rope at bends! In the side parts it slides with difficulty and can tear; press harder from the outside of the car. It is advisable to fix the rubber with glue-sealant, and at night attach the glass with tape to the roof and sides

It is advisable to fix the rubber with glue-sealant, and attach the glass to the roof and sides with tape overnight.

Replacing the rear window of a VAZ is carried out in the same way. If you installed a windshield, you can install this, although removing the rear window is a more difficult task. To insert the rear window, ask a friend for help, as you will have to pull the rope and press on the consumable at the same time.
