How to choose and replace glass on VAZ 2114, 2115 cars


The windshield on the 2114 has a size of 1400x662mm, it is standard for the model range from model 8 to model 15. The windshield has a three-layer structure, also called triplex. It consists of two layers of glass and a transparent film in the middle, which prevents the glass from shattering upon impact.

There are cases that require windshield replacement. The main reason is the condition of our roads. From an oncoming or overtaking car, a small pebble may fly from under their wheels and damage the glass.

Main types of damage:

  • chips;
  • cracks.

If a chip appears, that is, only the outer side of the triplex is damaged, problems usually do not arise. But when a crack appears, you need to take action, otherwise over time the windshield may fall out, which can easily lead to an accident or accident. And it will be difficult to obtain a diagnostic card.

What you can do:

  • in case of small chips, continue to operate the car;
  • If there is a crack, take temporary measures yourself or replace the glass.

Temporary measures:

  • Using a glass cutter, half a centimeter cuts are made perpendicularly along the edges of the crack;
  • Using the finest diamond drill, holes are drilled along its edges. The crack will not spread further for some time;
  • contacting a specialized service, where the crack can be “welded” so that it will not be visible.

But in any case, the integrity of the triplex has already been compromised and after some time the glass will have to be replaced.

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.

Rubbing body parts

To increase the life of the rubbing parts of the body, they should be lubricated at every maintenance. If creaks or jamming are detected, the body fittings must be cleaned before lubrication.

Lubricate the rubbing parts of the doors

:

  • Side door hinges (silicone spray lubricant).
  • Door limiter rods (silicone lubricant in aerosol packaging).
  • Driver's door lock cylinder (silicone lubricant in aerosol packaging).
  • Door locks (silicone spray lubricant).

Lubricate the hood

:

  • Hood hinges (silicone spray lubricant or motor oil).
  • Hood latch (silicone spray lubricant or motor oil).

Lubricate the trunk lid

:

  • Trunk lid hinges (silicone spray lubricant).
  • Trunk lid lock cylinder (silicone lubricant in aerosol packaging).
  • Trunk lid lock (spray silicone lubricant or motor oil).

Lubricate other body parts

:

  • Hinges of the gas tank filler hatch (silicone aerosol lubricant or motor oil).
  • Windshield wiper arm joints (silicone aerosol lubricant). Cover the glass with paper.
  • Exterior mirror bracket hinges (silicone spray lubricant).

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.

Causes and consequences of damage

Driving on poor quality roads in Russia forces car owners to look for a new windshield at least once every year and a half. Even a very small pebble flying from under the wheels of a car can lead to damage to the part.

There are two types of damage:

  1. Chips. If only a chip appears on the surface, the driver is lucky. This means that the first layer is damaged; it is not necessary to install a new spare part.
  2. Cracks. You can't hesitate. At any moment, glass can crumble into pieces due to a hole in the road, and this will lead to an accident.

What can you do

If the driver fails to change it in time, there are several popular tips:

  1. Using a glass cutter, make perpendicular cuts 0.5 cm long along the edges of the “web”.
  2. Drill small holes with a thin diamond drill bit. The work requires accuracy, patience and attention.
  3. “Weld” the crack. It's better to contact specialists. Without experience it will be difficult.

Why does water get under the passenger's carpet?

Water may appear under the rug if the heater leaks, and then moisture will pass through the engine into the cabin.

The air intake of the stove can also bring a lot of trouble, since in order to eliminate constant puddles under your feet, you will have to clean the technical drain holes, which are located in the niche under the hood. Then it will be necessary to carry out additional repair work - seal the joints of the air duct and the body with high-quality sealant. It’s better not to waste money on it so that it lasts a long time.

When moisture constantly appears in the direction where the stove is located, it is advisable to figure out whether it is ordinary water or antifreeze. In this case, a damaged faucet is often to blame, and this can be determined by the steam that appears in the cabin; the antifreeze level sensor will also indicate a breakdown - it will definitely light up. Here are other reasons why puddles may form:

Air conditioning is good to have in the cabin, but it can affect the accumulation of water under the passenger mat. The air conditioner has such a device - a condensate drain pipe, and sometimes it can simply fall out of its place, and then water will begin to get behind the seat trim. The consequences are not noticeable - constant dampness, you have to remove the seat, change the upholstery and seal.

A crack may appear in the fuse box, causing water to appear under the mats. You need to check the pedal from which the cable runs to the motor.

In any case, the leak must be eliminated, otherwise corrosion of the body will begin, which will be difficult to stop.

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.

When is the best time to contact the service?

You should not contact a service center if your windshield drain is just clogged. Qualified assistance will be needed if a leak occurs in the following cases:

  1. The geometry of the body is broken.
  2. A defective part was installed, the problem appeared immediately after installation.
  3. The windshield seal was lost after unscrupulous gluing at a service station.

In these cases, it is recommended to contact professional car mechanics. You can re-glue the part yourself, armed with a tool and spending more than one hour. When buying a windscreen, remember: it is almost impossible to check it visually for defects. Purchasing at the market or from unverified sellers increases the likelihood that the problem will appear more than once and the leak will have to be fixed constantly.

These are the reasons why water may get into the cabin, and how to fix the problem.

Hi all. So, today we will look at a problem that car enthusiasts periodically face, especially often faced by those whose cars are no longer fresh, or whose windshields have been re-glued, not always to a high quality. In general, let's talk about windshield leaks and how to deal with them. Sometimes, after heavy rain, a car owner notices an unauthorized puddle of water on the passenger or driver’s floor mat. Naturally, he wonders how she got there and how to avoid such an opportunity in the future? First you need to establish the exact source of water entering the car. This is not always the case with the windshield, it can be doors that do not fit tightly at the top to the rubber seal. Water thus flows over the pillar into the passenger compartment and creates the impression that it is flowing from the front. Sometimes a windshield leak is a consequence of corrosion of the frame around the glass. And sometimes the tightness of the glue with which the glass was glued is simply broken in some place. And here are several options for solving the problem. The first is radical, but not budgetary and problematic. Cut out the glass and re-glue it. It is problematic to do this without resorting to the services of a service station. And when you remove the glass, there is every chance that it will burst, and you end up with the cost of new glass. There is an option to use regular construction silicone, but this is a bad option because... it makes very bad contact with rubber, and after its use, rubber seals usually become brittle and bulge. And finally, the correct option in our opinion is to find a “penetrating” (flowable) sealant in your city, which is specially designed for repairing windshields.

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.
