Replacement of side glass on VAZ 2113, VAZ 2114, VAZ 2115
The side window performs important functions in the car:
Note! You will need the following tools: a screwdriver, wrenches or socket wrenches, and new glass. We remind you that take the new glass together with the frame, otherwise, if you buy it separately, you will be tortured by installing the frame on the glass and aligning it.
Clip location
Placed at the bottom center (indicated by the blue arrow, and the glass is shown by the red arrow). The frame is inserted into the glass, over time it weakens and there are even cases when the glass fits askew into the door. The weakened clip does not hold the glass; it dangles in the door. The glass is attached to the window lifter using this clip. In general, the detail is necessary and irreplaceable. In the event of a fault, there are two options:
When should you replace your side glass?
In principle, the time of replacement is a personal matter for each owner. Some people change glass for aesthetic reasons, others because of damage. However, there are a number of recommendations:
Common faults
Old and new mechanism
One of the most common malfunctions is gear wear. Usually plastic is used, which wears out quickly over time. A symptom of this problem is a rumble and crackling sound that is heard when the glass is raised or lowered.
Also, the automatic switch on the power windows may burn out, which is why the inclusion will not work. Also, problems may arise with the rear doors. They either stop working altogether or respond to pressing a key from the main unit, but not on the doors themselves. Check current continuity.
The electric motor may also fail. To fix it, you will need to check the voltage in it and the wiring. Mechanical damage to the guides may also occur.
Replacing side glass on a VAZ 2113-VAZ 2115
Removal
1) The glass on the front and rear doors is removed in almost the same way.
We will look at both options, but start with the front. You will need the help of an outsider. Have a helper hold the glass to prevent it from falling. And you lift the glass all the way up and unscrew the bolts securing the window regulator to the glass frame. Just in case, we will analyze the situation without an assistant. Then, at the beginning of the operation, the side window is blocked with a screwdriver, preventing it from falling (photo 1), then the door trim is completely removed (read more in the article: “Replacing a door on a car”, from point 1 to point, and the two bolts securing the clip to the window lifter are turned out ( photo 3). Having unscrewed the bolts, carefully begin to remove the seals in the door in which you are replacing the glass (photo 2). Please note that you will have to remove the screwdriver to remove the seal from the glass, remove it carefully and hold the glass. After these operations, tilt the glass in side and remove (shown in the fourth picture).
Note! When working with an assistant, there is no need to insert a screwdriver. Immediately remove the seals from the door and unscrew the cage bolts, and let an assistant hold the glass. After unscrewing the bolts, roll the glass on its side and remove it from the car door!
2) With the rear doors, the procedure is similar: insert a screwdriver, remove the trim from the door and unscrew the two bolts (photo 3) of the cage. Then the rubber seals are removed from the door (photos 1 and 2), the glass is rolled on its side and removed from the car door (photo 4).
The new part is installed in the reverse order of removal. If you bought glass without a frame, you will definitely have to install it. Take soap or WD-40 and coat the inside of the clip, then install the clip on the glass. Place the glass in the sun to dry quickly. Be sure to monitor the drying process, wet lubricant will not hold the clip, it will be removed from the glass and it will fall.

How to choose and replace glass on VAZ 2114, 2115 cars
Side glass performs important functions in a car:
Note! You will need the following tools: a screwdriver, wrenches or socket wrenches, and new glass. We remind you that take the new glass together with the frame, otherwise, if you buy it separately, you will be tortured by installing the frame on the glass and aligning it.
Clip location
Placed at the bottom center (indicated by the blue arrow, and the glass is shown by the red arrow).

The glass is attached to the window lifter using this clip. In general, the detail is necessary and irreplaceable. In the event of a fault, there are two options:
When should you replace your side glass?
In principle, the time of replacement is a personal matter for each owner. Some people change glass for aesthetic reasons, others because of damage. However, there are a number of recommendations:
Design and dimensions
Consumables that do not match in size are one of the reasons for rapid breakdown. To prevent troubles, take the choice of a new part more seriously.
Head-on
The dimensions of the windshield of the VAZ 2115 are 1400×662 mm. The dimensions of the windshield on the VAZ 2114 and 2113 have the same dimensions, which makes it easier to find a new spare part.
It is multi-component: two glass layers and a film between them, the so-called triplex. This structure prevents fragments from scattering when damaged.
Rear
Cracks or chips on parts are rare. The size of the rear window of the VAZ 2114 is 1210x656 mm.
The parameters need to be known if the driver wants to tint the car.
Lateral
The front left side glass is 858 mm wide and 528 mm long. Consult with a salesperson at your auto store before purchasing.
Main characteristics of the VAZ windshield
Windshields installed on VAZ cars are a three-layer composite material - triplex, in which a transparent film is placed between two layers of special glass. This design has a huge number of advantages over conventional monolithic glass, and the main one is the absence of scattering of fragments upon destruction - in the event of an accident, the glass cracks, but does not crumble into pieces.
Windshield VAZ 2114
The size of the windshield of the VAZ 2114 is 662 * 1400 mm, which is the standard size for all VAZs, from the G8 to the 15th model. This fact greatly simplifies the search for the right replacement glass.
Most common reasons
It is worth noting that the heated rear window most often does not work in a VAZ-2115 car for the following reasons:
Fuses blow out quite often. This usually happens unnoticed by the car owner.
As a result, one or another device stops working.
For this reason, you should pay attention to them first of all if you do not want to join:
Replacing them with serviceable ones will solve the problem completely. In other cases, it will also be necessary to clean the terminals of dirt, and at least visually make sure that the power wires have not come off the buttons. If the relay is faulty, then it will need to be replaced - it is not very expensive and is quite easy to install.
How to choose
Don't buy cheap copies. Products with a suspiciously low price are either made of low-quality materials or are sold as disassembled parts. An inexpensive consumable will require replacement after just six months of use.
It is advisable to find an original spare part. It will definitely fit the car, and the quality will be higher than that of its analogue.
Inspect the part carefully. The surface must be smooth, without scratches, even and transparent. The reflection must be clear and clear. If it is cloudy, do not rush to shell out money.
Check markings, manufacturer and type. Information must be clearly written. Blurred markings are one of the main signs of a fake.
The price of consumables ranges from 1000 to 3000 rubles.
Economy segment
Xyg (China) - the best Chinese parts on the market. Pass ultraviolet rays. The material is not of the best quality: poor visibility, the image is distorted. Weak structure. This consumable will have to be changed twice a year. Overall, the price is reasonable.
Borovskoye KMK (Bor, Nizhny Novgorod region). The spare part is made of soft material, chips and scratches quickly appear. Doesn't take punches well. Cheap, but short-lived.
Premium segment
Pilkington (UK). European quality. Resistant to scratches, chips do not appear the first time. Will last a long time.
Borovskoye AGC-glass (the plant was purchased by the Japanese Company AGC-Glass). Decent choice. Japanese quality, quite high price. The company provides energy-saving, multi-layer shock-resistant and colored lacquer-coated glass.
Types of damage
There are 2 main types of damage to car windshields: chips and cracks. Chips are small, most often located at the edges, areas of destruction of one of the triplex glasses (usually the outer one). You can operate a car even if there are a large number of chips without urgently replacing the glass.
In turn, cracks are through-cut damage that has a longitudinal or branched shape. They can appear even from a small pebble, but, regardless of their size, they pose a serious threat. Thus, over time, cracks in the glass can increase, gradually occupying an increasingly larger area, which can ultimately lead to a weakening of the glass surface and its complete loss.
Considering that this can happen even while driving, it is worth understanding that the only solution when cracks appear should be to replace the windshield (and, if necessary, replace the rear window of the VAZ 2114).
It is worth noting that in some cases (for example, when the crack occupies a small area), temporary measures can be taken to prevent its increase, which will allow you to use the car for some time without replacing the glass.
Such measures include:
All of the above measures should be temporary, because even if the crack stops spreading or is not visible at all (as a result of sealing), the surface of the glass will still remain damaged, as well as the risk of it falling out over time.
Replacement
There are two options for replacing the windshield on a VAZ 2114:
Contact a car service. Fast, simple, but expensive. On one's own. If you have experience in repair work of this kind, time, patience, and an assistant, then dismantling is possible in your own garage.
How to remove
The work begins with the fact that we remove all unnecessary things. Side trims, wipers - this interferes with dismantling. Now we remove the old glass: starting from the top corner, squeeze it out along with the rubber. It is advisable to have someone help. If you pry the seal with a flat screwdriver from the inside, it will be easier to remove the headband.
You need to work with gloves, taking safety precautions.
Clean the grooves. The replacement now needs to be replaced with a seal. If the rubber is cracked, it is also advisable to replace it.
How to replace frames and seals
Replacing the windshield frame requires more effort, but this operation can be done at home.
We measure the frame. Its width is 680 mm in the center and 1378 mm diagonally. Further actions:
The seal needs to be replaced as it wears out. If it has shrunk in places and lost elasticity, then it is advisable to install a new one in the near future. To replace the front window seal of a VAZ 2114 you will need:
To make installation easier, apply lubricant to the rubber seal and soap solution to the lower groove. You need to put a thin, strong rope inside the seal. Place the new seal on the glass. We pull the ends of the cord in the center of the bottom of the material. It is advisable to soak the cord with detergent.
Inserting new glass
We start by applying a rubber seal to the new glass. Then we put another rubber band in its place, which is called a lock. It is done brilliantly so that drivers know. Why is the lock applied before the glass is installed, and not after? Because it’s faster and, as practice shows, more convenient. After installing the lock, the most important thing begins - installing the rear window in its place. To do this, we need a cord about two meters long (in general, it’s better to prepare a cord, a screwdriver and a friend to help you ahead of time).
We insert the cord into the groove of the seal, but not the entire length, but only onto the top and sides of the groove. The remaining ends of the cord should be approximately the same length. Then we take the glass and insert it into the lower groove, as if rubbing it in, so that the seal lies evenly in place. Then, calling a friend for help, we begin to press on the glass, while simultaneously pulling the cord out of the groove. At the same time, the cord pushes the sealing rubber aside and allows the glass to gradually take its place.
This operation should be done slowly, pulling the cord alternately from the right and then from the left. When the cord is pulled out completely, the glass with rubber bands will completely fit into its grooves. And this will mean that everything worked out for you.
How to put
During installation you will have to resort to outside help. 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 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.
Replacement of side glass on VAZ 2113, VAZ 2114, VAZ 2115
Side glass performs important functions in a car:
Note! You will need the following tools: a screwdriver, wrenches or socket wrenches, and new glass. We remind you that take the new glass together with the frame, otherwise, if you buy it separately, you will be tortured by installing the frame on the glass and aligning it.

Placed at the bottom center (indicated by the blue arrow, and the glass is shown by the red arrow). The frame is inserted into the glass, over time it weakens and there are even cases when the glass fits askew into the door. The weakened clip does not hold the glass; it dangles in the door. The glass is attached to the window lifter using this clip. In general, the detail is necessary and irreplaceable. In the event of a fault, there are two options:
When should you replace your side glass?
In principle, the time of replacement is a personal matter for each owner. Some people change glass for aesthetic reasons, others because of damage. However, there are a number of recommendations:

rear window replacement
Rear window The car is a real assistant for the driver. It is through him that we see what our client can do, what is happening behind us, and correctly assess the situation. However, glass is a very fragile material, and if a stone or other loose object gets caught in it, it can crack or shatter into a large number of small pieces. For a temporary solution, of course, cover the gap with a thick film. But this, of course, is not an option. In the future, the rear window will need to be replaced.
The car owner may have postponed this work until later, fearing serious expenses. In fact, our client is left to do everything possible to find the funds to purchase new glass and glue. The rest of the work is completed independently within 1-2 hours.
Replace the rear window on a VAZ-2109
Before you go to the store differently in the market and get a new rear window for your car. It is important that it fits your model correctly (pay special attention to heating and design features).
It is best to work in a well-lit area with sufficient maneuverability. If the weather outside is perfect, you can stay right next to the garage. Helping your partner replace the rear window is highly desirable. It is difficult to cope with such work without outside help.
What you need after the previous steps, start specifically. There are three steps here:

Is it correct to remove the rear window
When doing the work, be very careful not to touch the surface. car body (otherwise you will have to restore it).
When the old glass fails to take off , do not rush to “sculpt” a new one right away. It is better to perform some of the necessary manipulations:
Before installing the lock, it is better to pull it a little. Otherwise you won't like its length. The wedge installation is done like this. Install the long section first and the small section at the end. In this case, some part of the wedge remains unused; it is better to cut it. Otherwise it will interfere with future work.
When should new glass be installed? There are two options. the old glass is damaged or you decide to glue a shadow. At the beginning, our client remains clear. do without a change. In this case, we are talking about tinting; it is better to do this work without disassembling. Practice shows that it is almost impossible to remove the rear window without damage.
Before installation, prepare a thick piece of rope. It is advisable that the length of the rope exactly matches what was left for our client on the side of the rear window. Pay special attention to the quality of the rope. he must become strong. If it breaks during operation, it will be difficult to remove the broken piece from the seal.
What you need to do is:
The final shrinkage of the glass occurs within 3-4 days. This is facilitated by vibrations that are inevitable when moving.
Conclusion

What does double glazing provide?
Let's look at what double glazing will do for the driver in this article? In theory, installing such glass is a simple task and anyone with a little patience can handle it. So:
- The operating principle of this double glass is as follows: its window lift cable is much longer than the cable of conventional windows. To secure the power window in the upper part, you need to use a 10 mm hexagon, which also has an internal thread for the leash. The edge of this leash is attached to a bolt, which, in fact, holds the door handle.
- In the lower part, a T-shaped fastener is used, which is fixed to the door and due to this, the double-glazed window is extended by the plate. It, in turn, is attached with two bolts to the door frame, in the place where the drain holes are located.
Rear door of VAZ 2109
In order to remove the rear door on a VAZ 2109, follow these steps:
Open the door and remove the two bolts securing the limiter bracket to the B-pillar
Unscrew the two bolts securing the upper and lower door hinges to the B-pillar and remove the door. Installation of the VAZ 2109 rear door is performed in the reverse order of removal. Before final tightening the bolts securing the hinges to the B-pillar, close the door and position it so that the gaps in the openings around the entire perimeter are the same. Then carefully open the door and finally tighten the fastening bolts.
Replacing the window regulator and glass on a VAZ 2109
In order to install the rear door glass on a VAZ 2109 or replace the window regulator, follow these steps:
Lower the window all the way down and remove the rear door trim in the same way as removing the front door trim. The photo shows the location of the rear door trim mounting pins
Removing the front door trim
Plastic spikes or “herringbones” for fastening may break during the process of removing the skin. We purchase in advance a quantity sufficient for the update. It is better to buy double white-orange or transparent clips.
- Open the door and remove the 3 screws securing the podium. The screws are unscrewed with a Phillips screwdriver. The podium carefully turns down and detaches from the body.
Do not remove the casing with jerks or sudden movements. The sockets that attach the trim to the door can be damaged.
If you are planning to replace the trim, before purchasing it, compare the dimensions of the trim installed in your car with the new one in the store. The location and diameter of the holes for the handle and for fastening may not be the same.
Installation of the casing occurs in the reverse order.

What is needed to install glass? How to glue glass? What glue should I use? In this article I will try to give you the answer - what and how to glue car glass.
Installation of auto glass on all cars, without exception, is done in two ways: installation in a rubber seal and gluing the auto glass. Let me point out right away that there is no difference between the installation of car glass for foreign cars and domestic cars. And auto glass is cut and installed in the same way. The principle is the same.
Cost of tinting car windows
Since it appeared on our market relatively recently, its cost is very high. For all car services that offer the installation of additional glass, plus upgraded window regulators, the minimum price starts from 5,000 rubles. for domestic cars.
The general price range for such a service ranges from 5 to 22 thousand rubles. Garage “masters” can carry out this work for 12–16 thousand rubles. Double glazing for imported cars is offered starting from 20 thousand rubles.
Domestic, specially trained craftsmen in the city of Togliatti will do this work with all VAZ models for 18, with foreign cars this procedure costs 32 thousand.
Replacing the headlight glass
If you see that the headlight itself is working, and its cloudiness is due to glass defects, you need to know how to remove the glass from a VAZ 2114 headlight and then replace it.
The algorithm for performing the procedure is as follows:
The glass is now removed, but remember that reassembly will involve applying sealant (can be replaced with a rubber seal), so be sure to get some in advance. Also, some manufacturers' headlights have headlights with clips, so don't use brute force, just look where they are and tighten them.

Window lifter for VAZ 2114
Window lifter for VAZ 2115, VAZ 2114 and other models of cars in this series can be of two main types.
The mechanisms on the VAZ 2115 or 2114 do not have any fundamental differences from other models of the family. The first of them is collapsible. They consist of two parts, a motor and a trapezoid, which are connected with fine thread bolts. If necessary, you can replace one of these parts while leaving the other. Previously, this was the most profitable option, since repairing a window regulator was much cheaper. Most often the trapeze had to be removed and replaced.
But in recent years it has been quite difficult to find high-quality trapeze on sale. Almost everything that is in stores lasts a month or two, and then again requires replacement. Therefore, collapsible device models are no longer so popular.
The second option is non-separable models. They are solid and do not allow the replacement of individual parts. On the other hand, a new non-removable factory window regulator for the VAZ 2113 and other models can last up to 3-5 years without requiring replacement. And with adequate use, even longer.
In addition to these types, devices are also distinguished by their operating principle. These are mechanical and electric windows of the VAZ 2114 and other models. The latter are also divided into lever, cable and rack and pinion. Their main difference is how the impulse of movement from the engine is transmitted to the plate holding the glass. This can be done by cable, lever or using a rack system.

How to change the rear window of a car with your own hands
Of course, it's not often that a car's rear window cracks. But still, many car enthusiasts are worried about such a breakdown. After all, sometimes they have only one option left - replacing the rear window. We list the situations in which it is necessary to replace the rear window:
Next, we will consider several cases of replacing a defective rear window, applicable to both domestic and imported cars. Let us first note that with this repair there are certain difficulties associated with the rubber seal or the adhesive seam.
Replacement timing and choice of optics
The last two elements have a shelf life directly related to the material from which they are made and the methods of car care. At the same time, even the best of them are still susceptible to the ingress of dirt associated with depressurization of the headlight structure.
The choice of headlights is extremely important for the convenience of the motorist. To be more precise, it is not the manufacturer itself that is important (although it affects the characteristics of the light), but the identity of the lighting fixtures. If your car has standard headlights, but you decide to replace only one, then find the original ones. You should not take AUTO SVET or BOSCH, which are similar in appearance.
From a technical point of view, the headlights will be the same, but the manufacturing technology of the optics differs from one company to another, and as a result, you will get two distinctly different headlights. Even if you don't care about the appearance of the car, don't forget about the properties of your eyes.
Human vision and the brain have a number of characteristics, and in this case they will manifest themselves in the fact that a more powerful headlight will create a “twilight zone” instead of a dimmer light. Consequently, there will be no improvement in visibility, and the brain will perceive the “blind spot” almost the same way if it did not exist at all.
How to find out the light transmittance?
There are special regulations and rules for this, which many motorists are not aware of. Therefore, they find themselves in situations where fines are issued on illegal grounds. It’s worth mentioning right away that light transmittance readings can only be taken using the Blik device. It must have the appropriate serial number as well as a certificate.
It turns out that the device must be connected to the vehicle’s on-board network during testing. In this case, the driver may refuse to connect if he believes that the cigarette lighter is in poor condition.
Measurements cannot be carried out in wet weather, since the main condition is a dry and clean surface. Readings should be taken from three points for greater accuracy. As for the device, it must have an appropriate seal and tag, which indicate that it was timely verified for accuracy.
If the inspection conditions are not met, do not try to argue with the inspector. He can do the work, but you will indicate all violations in the protocol in writing. It is important to remember that a motorist can appeal the decision of traffic police officers within 10 days in court.
Removing old glass
You should start replacing the rear window in VAZ cars with the grooves of the seals. To do this, you will need a flat blade screwdriver to pry the seal lock from the inside of the glass. After which we simply pull it out.
Then, using a screwdriver, move the frame seal as far as possible from the outside of the glass. After which, we do the same on the inside of the frame. Having freed the glass, we begin the extrusion process. Why do we call for help from a friend smoking on the sidelines and ask him to hold the glass from the outside. We ourselves squeeze out (push carefully, but with force) the rear window from the inside.
You may not be able to free the glass from the frame the first time. There is no need to despair and freak out, but it is worth going through the seals with a screwdriver again. Then try again to squeeze out the glass. It will still resist, but eventually it will pop out. Having briefly rejoiced at this circumstance, we proceed to installing new glass.

Disassembled door
If you don’t know how to remove the window lifter handle, don’t despair, it’s easy to do. Before removing the mechanism, you need to remove the trim from the door. Then be sure to disconnect the wire block and the power window connector. Then remove the three nuts that secure the mechanism to the door. Next are two bolts that secure the lift and the glass itself.
Dismantling process
Then, lift the glass to the very top and fix it, you can use a screwdriver or ask someone to hold it. But it’s better to pull it out, because otherwise there is a risk that the glass may break.
To completely remove the mechanism, you need to additionally remove the door handle. To do this, unscrew its two screws and push the handle inside the door. Then, you will need to disconnect the rubber holder that holds the rod on the handle. Once you're done with this, you can pull out the handle, and then the window regulator itself through the same hole. Now you know how to remove the window handle and the entire mechanism.
