Algorithm for replacing and repairing trapezium wipers on a VAZ-2110

The wiper trapezoid is a mechanism for transmitting force from the windshield wiper motor to the wiper arms. In this case, the mechanism during operation:

• gradually wears out;
• trapezoid hinges become clogged with dirt;
• The grease is gradually washed out of the joints.

As a result, high loads on the wiper motor disable the motor, the driver is faced with poor quality of windshield cleaning, extraneous noise appears during wiper operation, etc. The solution in such a situation is to repair the trapezoid or replace the wiper trapezoid. Read more in our article.

Wiper design

The main parts of the windshield wiper are the supporting frame and the cleaning element.

Wipers with metal frame

The supporting frame is made of metal or plastic. Wipers with a metal frame are more durable and strong. This frame is used to make winter windshield wiper blades.

Wipers with plastic frame

There is another type of brush design - frameless brushes. The frame in such brushes is a cleaning rubber band and the wiper itself is made entirely of rubber.

Frameless wipers

The cleaning element is made of soft rubber or silicone, which ensures a tight fit to the windshield and excellent cleansing of moisture.

Types of wipers

• Classic.

The design consists of seven metal “rocker arms” arranged pyramidally. The largest arc holds two smaller ones, which, in turn, hold even smaller ones and are attached to a rubber blade. This design allows the downforce of the wiper to be evenly distributed. Slowly going out of fashion, these wipers are falling in price every day, while performing their functionality very well in the warm season. The main enemy of such a wiper is snow. But it is impossible to say that these brushes are worse in functionality than frameless ones. The pressing effect of such a design loses its properties over time. Therefore, it is better to change the brush frame itself after a few years.

• Frameless.

The “rocker arm” system for this type of wiper is replaced by a thin metal plate that passes through the entire length of the brush. It is a frame, despite the so-called frameless classification. They tolerate snow better, but this design has a disadvantage - the distribution of downforce here is worse than that of “rocker arms”. In the cold there is a shrinking effect. The advantages of these brushes over the previous ones can be called design. Although the taste and color as they say... .

• Winter brushes.

They repeat the classic summer design, but all its moving parts are hidden under a rubber cover. But these brushes are not very suitable for summer, since the casing causes too much windage. If the speed is above 90 km. at an hour, the brushes begin to move away from the glass. As good as such brushes are in winter precipitation, they are just as bad in summer precipitation.

• Hybrid.

These brushes are the latest development for today. Metal “rocker arms” here replace three plastic arcs, they also act as a winter cover, thereby allowing these wipers to be called hybrid. Another distinctive feature of these wipers is improved aerodynamics. Headwind increases downforce. Although in such a design there is something to freeze on.

In conclusion, we can say that in winter it is better to use winter wipers, and for summer any wipers except winter ones are suitable. It's up to you to choose. In any case, new wipers, no matter what design, are better than those that do not perform their functions at all.

Dimensions

The driver and passenger side brush lengths are different. The difference is small - only 20 mm. If possible, avoid installing brushes of the same length. Otherwise, a path of water will form in the middle of the windshield during rain. Which will lead to a significant deterioration in visibility. The rear window is equipped with a 300 mm long brush.

The rear hemisphere allows for the installation of a brush 400 mm long. In this case, the lower part of the window will not be affected. But you will have to limit the stroke of the brush on the gearbox. To do this, you need to disassemble the motor that drives the brush.

Original articles

It will no longer be possible to find original parts for this car produced by AvtoVAZ.

It is only important to note: in the assortment offered by stores, it will not be difficult to choose a high-quality analogue. In the last years of car production, the manufacturer no longer made brushes independently.

Ready-made solutions were purchased from Bosch.

Original articles used back in the Soviet Union:

Replacement options

There are quite a lot of companies involved in the production and sale of various brushes. Including for the VAZ 2109. When choosing, you should give preference to well-established manufacturers

But it is important to remember: there are always many counterfeits of well-known brands. Please inspect the boxes carefully before purchasing.

This will avoid purchasing a fake.

All presented brushes are divided into 4 main categories:

• frame;
• frameless;
• hybrid;
• winter.

Frame

Designated as classic. They are distinguished by their low price and simple design. The strength of such products is great. But a serious disadvantage is the poor aerodynamic shape. When air resistance occurs when driving at speeds over 100 km/h, the brush rises slightly above the glass surface. Which leads to a decrease in the contact area. Deterioration in the degree of glass cleaning.

Frameless

Brushes of this type do not have the disadvantages of classic models. They have an optimal aerodynamic shape and look aesthetically pleasing. At the same time easy to install. The only negative: low strength. At the same time, the cost is relatively low.

Hybrid

Hybrid – a design that has all the advantages of classic and frameless brushes. Today this is the best option. Low cost, coupled with low aerodynamic resistance and good cleaning properties, makes their use convenient and effective. The brush itself is made of a single piece of rubber. There is a frame inside. Some modifications are equipped with a spoiler. Which makes the brush even more streamlined.

Winter

Winter wipers are distinguished by their elasticity - even at sub-zero temperatures they clean the glass well. The effect is achieved by adding rubber to the rubber composition. It retains its flexibility regardless of the ambient temperature. As a result, its cleaning qualities do not change in any way.

When choosing new wipers, take into account:

• mode of operation of the vehicle;
• maximum driving speed;
• the region in which the car is located.

If the car is used in the Far North, then it is advisable to purchase winter brushes. Driving at speeds over 100 km/h - the windshield will only be cleaned with the proper aerodynamic shape (frameless, hybrid blades). If you have no experience, you should contact a consultant.

Some drivers purchase several pairs of brushes at once:

• for summer;
• for winter;
• for long trips and highway driving.

It is very comfortable. Allows you to avoid unnecessary expenses. Spare parts are always available.

What is a windshield wiper trapezoid and what is it for?

The trapezoids are around here somewhere!

The wiper trapezium is a special unit that converts the engine impulse into forward movements of the windshield wipers.

Simply put, it is she who is responsible for their movement along the windshield or rear window of the car. Since weather conditions are often unpredictable, and the windshield must provide complete visibility, failure of this part must be quickly identified and repaired.

Principle of operation

Most often, plastic bushings wear out in trapezoids.

This is interesting: What happens if you pour oil into the engine?

Although, at first glance, it seems that the movement of the brushes occurs directly, in fact, a trapezoid, which is an electromechanical unit, is responsible for it. It works on the following principle:

1. The windshield wiper motor uses the finger, which drives the trapezoid itself.
2. Due to the connection of the gearbox and shafts, oscillatory movements occur, causing the brushes to move along the glass, cleaning it.

It often happens that the trapezoid fails. This happens especially often after or during the winter season. Some inexperienced VAZ-2110 owners turn on the “brushes” without bothering to clear the snow from the glass. Often the wipers freeze to the glass, and an attempt to move them ends in breakage. To prevent this from happening, you should always check the brushes before turning them on in winter for freezing.

How to restore the working edge of the brush

If we are not talking about the loss of the integrity of the element, then there is no need to rush to dispose of it, because there are several universal methods of successful resuscitation that will help the driver save a lot of money.

Experienced motorists have provided an equally simple solution to the problem if their windshield wiper blades are partially worn out, recommending turning them over.

As a result, the upper edge that has retained its integrity will clean the glass surface quite well, and although such wipers cannot be compared to new ones, they will still be able to serve for some time.

If desired, deep contaminants can also be removed, however, in such situations you will have to use something more serious than hot water.

White spirit, gasoline, multifunctional aerosol WD-40 - usually these are the products that are used, the choice of which directly depends on what exactly happened to stain the wipers.

If the problem is not integrity or contamination, and the brushes still do their job poorly, then it is quite possible that the reason is frame deformation, which you can fix with your own hands.

What affects the condition of the trapezius

The main cause of all problems associated with the trapezoid is the location of the mechanism. The wiper motor and trapezoid are located directly under the glass.

Dirt, small abrasive particles, water and washer fluid constantly accumulate in this area.

This leads to wear at the moving joints and loss of lubricant. Active wear of the plastic bushings of the hinges is observed, backlashes appear, resistance noticeably increases during operation and the load on the motor increases. In such conditions, the trapezoid for the wipers and the motor quickly fail.

As a rule, the VAZ 2110 trapezoid requires revision every 2 years. Such an inspection should mean cleaning the trapezoid from dirt and additional lubrication. If this is not done, after 5-6 years the trapezoid will need to be replaced or repaired (a trapezoid repair kit is used).

The wiper motor and trapezoid are located directly under the glass, so some of the water or washer fluid falls on them. In addition to water, dust, dirt and various small debris get there. All this leads to a change in the properties of the lubricant and deterioration in the performance of the trapezoid. When the lubricant loses its properties, the plastic bushings of the hinges begin to wear out, resulting in backlash and increasing resistance during operation.

Spare part selection

The catalog number of the original wiper trapezoid is 2110-5205010. Give preference to trapezoids from manufacturers:

• Balaton;
• At program;
• Startvolt.

Part of the old and new sample

Selecting a new part for a VAZ-2110 is not such a simple matter. Not everyone knows that there are old and new trapezoids.

The old-style trapezoid rods are secured with two studs.

The new type of rods are installed without problems if you remove one pin.

Therefore, it is better to remove the old part and take it to an auto parts store. They are not only attached differently, but also differ in the connectors through which they are connected to the motor. If you can’t find an old-style trapezoid, and this is exactly what you have, you’ll have to redo the system or look for a used part.

• As a rule, trapezoids of a new type are available for sale from various manufacturers. One of the popular models has the article number VLT2110–5205010-Р.

If the windshield wiper motor is working properly, you can only change the trapezoid itself.

In what cases does a part need to be replaced?

If there are signs of a vehicle malfunction, in order to figure it out, repair or replacement is necessary, diagnostics should be carried out. If it is possible to repair the windshield wiper trapezoid, then you should replace broken or worn parts (video author - GARAj Alex Fierro).

If it is customary to completely change the device, then when purchasing a new product you should pay attention to the mounting method and size. Trapezoids may differ in the plug for connecting to the electric motor and the size of the leads.

One conclusion can be drawn: you should buy original products designed specifically for your car model.

Do-it-yourself modification and replacement of wipers

Which wipers are better is up to the car owner to decide. Those installed on the VAZ 2110, as well as on the UAZ, do their job well from the factory, but it can be modified with washers from other companies that are of higher quality. Many people are attracted to frameless brushes - this is a good option. They are compact in size and equipped with a special leash mechanism. True, they do not look very attractive on the VAZ 2110, since the fastener to the standard washer arm turns out to be massive. Therefore they need improvement.

Frameless car washers

To perform a replacement or modification, you must perform the following steps:

1. First you need to disconnect the negative terminal on the battery.
2. Then you need to tilt the mount towards you and remove the brush.
3. If there is a decorative trim, it must be removed.
4. By unscrewing the bolt, you can remove the old brush.
5. Before replacing parts, be sure to check the dimensions of the new washer with the old one. It is advisable that the new one does not exceed the size of the old one by more than 2 cm.
6. Installation of the new kit is carried out in the reverse order.

After upgrading, you should check the functionality of the unit: whether the brushes creak, how they work when switching modes. At high speeds of the windshield wiper motor, the wipers should work quickly, at low speeds - slowly. In addition, they must support intermittent operation.

Sorry, there are no surveys available at this time.

Alternative solutions

Most car owners of the domestic “ten” are accustomed to replacing worn out and faulty windshield wipers with similar ones.

Often this happens because they do not see alternatives and are not familiar with them.

But this size can be increased to 530 millimeters. It is not recommended to install more, since this way the windshield wiper will not be able to work effectively, and the drive simply will not cope with the load. As a result, too long brushes cause squeaking and jerky work. Plus, don’t count on a long service life of the wiper mechanisms.

The original windshield wipers for the 10 are quite good. But there are more expensive, but also more highly efficient, high-quality devices.

Today it is fashionable to use frameless wipers, especially from Bosch. Their advantages lie in their compactness and a special, reliable leash mechanism.

But as practice shows, on the windshield of the VAZ 2110, as well as other VAZ models, they do not look very nice, because the fasteners on the leash turn out to be massive. Although if you modify them a little, you will get a very good result.

Replacing the trapezoid

The replacement process is simple, but it involves manipulations that require increased attention and accuracy - there is a danger of damage to neighboring components and mechanisms.

We de-energize the car by removing the “negative” terminal. We remove the special wind cover (the so-called “jabot”) and the expansion tank. The latter must be removed at an angle - there is a possibility that some of the coolant will spill out, so it is useful to first drain some of it into a previously prepared container.

Then you need to turn off the gearmotor

. To do this, remove the corresponding connector. Carefully pull out the trapezoid (depending on the year of manufacture, it can be attached to two or four studs) and carefully remove it from the air supply box. That's it, the work is completed.

Installation of a new trapezoid is carried out in the reverse order.

How to remove the windshield wiper trapezoid

To remove the trapezoid you will need:

• key to 10;
• thin flat screwdriver;
• crosshead screwdriver.

First of all, you need to remove the wipers. To do this, you need to remove the plastic pads and unscrew the nuts with which they are attached to the trapezoid studs. Then unscrew the screws and side fastenings of the protective casing (jabot) and remove it. If the fasteners do not come out, treat with WD-40. Before removing the casing, make sure to remove all screws, bolts and nuts. If the cover does not come off, look for a fastener that you did not remove. Lifting the frill, disconnect the washer fluid supply tube from the tee, and then move the casing to the side.

Remove the belt that supports the radiator tank and move the tank to the side. Then pull out the partition (sound insulation), which is located behind the tank. Don't forget to remove the washer fluid supply tube from it. Disconnect the electric motor power connectors. After this, unscrew the bolts securing the trapezoid and electric motor. To remove the trapezoid, you must either struggle for a long time, coming up with various options, or place a thin flat-head screwdriver under the far end (relative to the motor) of the lower rod of the trapezoid and pull out the entire structure as if on a slide. You can also turn the left edge of the trapezoid clockwise and pull it out, then remove the engine.

Putting the trapeze in place

Usually, installing the trapezoid into place does not cause difficulties. Insert it and secure with bolts. Do not overtighten the motor mounting bolt; the motor may need to be turned slightly to get the trapezoid to operate smoothly. After making sure that the trapezoid is working properly, tighten the electric motor mounting bolt, install and secure the sound insulation, frill (do not forget to connect the washer tube), and the expansion tank. Insert the plastic plugs and install them in place, install the arms with brushes and check the operation of the wipers in all modes.

What methods do not work and can damage the car?

It is important to understand that the parts that are subject to self-repair are not all the elements that make up the mechanism of the windshield wipers. The rotational and translational mechanism of the wipers, as well as its smoothness, is ensured by a trapezoid operating through a motor

Taking on the repair of internal parts with your own hands is extremely dangerous for an inexperienced car mechanic. Here you will need the help of a professional.

The windshield wipers should be removed with extreme caution so as not to damage the windshield. Since the mechanism is equipped with a spring, there is a possibility that it will bounce off and the impact on the glass will be strong enough to damage it.

The best way to secure your windshield is to place a towel or other cloth over it as a buffer.

Windshield wipers need to be systematically inspected, cleaned and replaced if necessary.

Do not neglect these procedures, since wipers are an important component of the car system. The quality of the car’s movement does not depend on their work, but the driver’s comfort, and therefore driving safety, are directly related

Trapezoid repair

During repairs, it is necessary to clean all elements of the trapezoid from dirt and inspect the studs. If wear is detected on their ribs, the trapezoid will have to be replaced. Repairing a trapezoid involves replacing the plastic caps. To do this you will need a repair kit and boiling water. First, disassemble the trapezoid using a pry bar or a heavy-duty flathead screwdriver as leverage. After this, cut off the old plastic caps. If you can’t cut it, use side cutters and bite off the caps piece by piece until you can pull them out of the trapezoid rods. You can also hold the ends of the trapezoid in boiling water, 2 to 3 minutes is enough, then push the caps out of their seats.

This is interesting: Two simple ways to replace power steering fluid for all cars

Three types of trapezoids were installed on cars of the “tenth” family - VAZ 2110, 2111 and 2112, which differed in minor details. Therefore, there is a possibility that either the trapezoid rods or the caps will have to be adjusted. Remove the cap and inspect it. If there is a fixing protrusion on top of it, check the recess for it on the rod seat. If there is no notch, you will have to either cut off the protrusion on the cap (does not affect the performance and reliability of the trapezoid) or saw through it in the draft. If there is no protrusion on the cap, no adjustment will be necessary.

Clean the rod and seat, then lower the cap into boiling water for 10 - 15 seconds. After this, it will soften and easily fall into place. Do not install a cold cap as this will destroy it. After the cap has cooled completely (20 minutes), the rod is ready for assembly. Before assembly, lubricate the bushings with graphite grease.

Check the serviceability of the electric motor. To do this, disconnect it from the trapezoid (you need to unscrew the fastening nut) and connect it to the car battery. When working, it should make a low buzzing sound. If you don't know how to connect the motor to the battery, then connect it to the power connector. Turn on various operating modes of the electric motor for 10 - 15 minutes. After that, feel it. If the motor gets hot, it needs to be replaced. An electrical technician can try to repair this device, but regular drivers and car enthusiasts need to replace it.

Repairing a trapezoid using a repair kit

If the bushing in an old part is simply worn out, it is not necessary to change the entire trapezoid. It is enough to simply repair it using a repair kit. As a rule, it has everything you need. To repair the trapezoid, you will also have to remove it. When removing the wiper arms, you must try to act extremely carefully, otherwise you may damage the glass or paint on the edge of the hood.

Stories from our readers

“Fucking basin. "

Hi all! My name is Mikhail, now I’ll tell you a story about how I managed to exchange my two-wheeler for a 2010 Camry. It all started with the fact that I began to be wildly irritated by the breakdowns of the two-wheeler, it seemed like nothing serious was broken, but damn it, there were so many little things that really started to irritate me. This is where the idea arose that it was time to change the car to a foreign car. The choice fell on the melting Camry of the tenth years.

Yes, I had matured morally, but financially I just couldn’t handle it. I’ll say right away that I am against loans and taking a car, especially not a new one, on credit is unreasonable. My salary is 24k a month, so collecting 600-700 thousand is almost impossible for me. I started looking for different ways to make money on the Internet. You can’t imagine how many scams there are, what I haven’t tried: sports betting, network marketing, and even the volcano casino, where I successfully lost about 10 thousand ((The only direction in which it seemed to me that I could make money was currency trading on the stock exchange, they call it Forex. But when I started delving into it, I realized that it was very difficult for me. I continued to dig further and came across binary options. The essence is the same as in Forex, but it’s much easier to understand. I started reading forums, studying trading strategies. I tried it on a demo account, then opened a real account. To be honest, I didn’t manage to start earning money right away, until I understood all the mechanics of options, I lost about 3,000 rubles, but as it turned out, it was a precious experience. Now I earn 5-7 thousand rubles a day. I managed to get the car buy after half a year, but in my opinion this is a good result, and it’s not about the car, my life has changed, I naturally quit my job, I have more free time for myself and my family. You’ll laugh, but I work directly on the phone)) If If you want to change your life like me, then here’s what I advise you to do right now: 1. Register on the site 2. Practice on a Demo account (it’s free). 3. As soon as you get something on the Demo account, top up your REAL ACCOUNT and go to REAL MONEY! I also advise you to download the application to your phone, it’s much more convenient to work from your phone. Download here.

1. Check fuse F9 20A in the mounting block. 2. At the same time, we check the relay for switching on the windshield wipers and windshield washers (install a known good one for testing, check that the relay is not installed on the other side). A faulty relay occurs when the intermittent wiper mode does not work. 3. Poor electrical contact. There can be many options, for example, the wiring has melted, poor ground contact, poor contact in the block with the wires in the engine compartment due to exposure to moisture, faulty mounting block, etc. We check the presence of voltage on the electric motor pads. 4. The steering column switch is faulty. 5. The nuts on the trapezoid have become unscrewed or loosened. For example, a nut securing the crank to the gearbox axle. Check the windshield wiper trapezoid, tighten the nuts. 6. The windshield wiper trapezoid is jammed. Repair, lubricate or replace. 7. The electric motor is faulty or its fuse (separate) has blown. We check the voltage supply. If necessary, we repair or replace with a new one.

If the windshield washer does not work, check:

1. presence of water in the tank;
2. condition of the windshield washer pipes;
3. relay and fuse F9 20A;
4. washer motor.

Let us remind you that if you are not satisfied with the operation of the windshield wiper, then by modifying the washer system as a whole, or separately, for example, increase the cleaning area of ​​the wipers or modify the relay.

Have you encountered a malfunction in the operation of your car wipers?

Recommendations

Often the wipers on the VAZ 2110 begin to work poorly as a result of problems with the electric motor, and not the trapezoid. For this reason, when servicing or replacing the trapezoid, it is important to check the serviceability of the electric wiper motor.

1. To check the wiper motor, you need to disconnect it from the trapezoid by unscrewing the mounting nut. The motor is then connected directly to the battery or via a standard power connector. A low buzzing sound during operation is considered normal. At the same time, noise, grinding and crackling when power is supplied are unacceptable. We also recommend reading the article on how to replace windshield wiper blades. From this article you will learn about the features of replacing wiper rubber bands, as well as what you need to consider when performing this procedure.
2. Experts also recommend turning on different operating modes so that the engine as a whole runs for about 10 minutes. Next, you should feel the motor. Strong heating will indicate that the wiper motor will soon fail and needs to be replaced. It is also possible to repair the motor, but it is easier and faster to purchase a new device, since its cost is not high.

Finally, we note that the VAZ 2110 windshield wiper requires regular trapezoidal maintenance. At a minimum, cleaning from dirt and lubrication is necessary. This allows you to significantly increase the service life of the mechanism and reduce the load on the electric motor, increasing its service life and productivity.

What methods do not work and can damage the car?

It is important to understand that the parts that are subject to self-repair are not all the elements that make up the mechanism of the windshield wipers. The rotational and translational mechanism of the wipers, as well as its smoothness, is ensured by a trapezoid operating through a motor

Incorrect operation of the intermittent wiper mode on a VAZ 21213 car

For the “ten” there are old and new type windshield wiper trapezoids, catalog numbers:

1. 2110-5205015
2. 2110-5205015-01
3. 2110-5205015-11
4. 2110-5205015-20
5. 2110-5205015-21

In appearance, the sizes of the windshield wipers are the same, but the sellers claim that they are incompatible, and what should you do if it is no longer possible to find an old-style trapezoid? In fact, there are differences in these windshield wiper trapezoids, but with minor modifications they become interchangeable.

In addition, on the “ten” you can install a Priora windshield wiper trapezoid; by the way, it is cheaper than the original one. The differences will be: 1. In the studs for the windshield wiper arms, on the VAZ 2170 trapezoid they are “13”, and on the VAZ 2110 they are “10”; accordingly, the wiper arms will have to be replaced. 2. In the wiper motor connectors. Connect according to the color of the wires (the photo shows a temporary connection method; ideally, all wire connections should be well insulated).

Quite often situations occur when the wipers do not work correctly on VAZ 21213 and VAZ 21214 cars. The most common problem is the negative functioning of the intermittent wiper mode. The source of its occurrence is burnt contacts of the gearmotor.

If you find yourself in a similar situation, here is the solution:

1. Remove the gear motor together with the rack (look at the motor shield, there you will find two nuts in the area where the heater casing is located). There will also be two windshield wiper arm nuts.
2. Remove the cover from it, tighten the contact, and then drop a little superglue (one crank nut and four screws).
3. Once the assembly is complete, the system will function properly.

How to care for your wipers to extend their lifespan

To ensure that your wipers last as long as possible, follow these tips:

• Wipe dirt-stained brushes with a clean, damp cloth or sponge. This way you will not only get rid of dirt, but also protect the glass from scratches.
• If the front glass is covered with a layer of dust and the car washer fluid has run out, do not turn on the cleaner. This will also cause scratches on the glass.

• In winter, especially during snowfalls, do not leave the wipers leaning against the windshield - they will freeze. It is better to raise the leashes so that the brushes are suspended.
• If the windshield wipers are still frozen, do not under any circumstances try to tear them off by force. This will only damage the rubber band. Start the engine, turn the heater on to blow the windshield and wait until it defrosts.
• You should also not knock ice off the frame or brush. Gently bend the elastic until it peels off in small pieces.
• When replacing wipers, place some thick cloth on the windshield. This will protect it in case the spring-loaded leash slips out of your hands.

Helpful information

Before purchasing a part, you need to find out which trapezoid is needed: there are “old” and “new” samples, indistinguishable in appearance. However, there are quite serious internal differences, which makes it impossible to install the “wrong” trapezoid. However, our mechanics found an interesting way: a small modification (removing “extra” fastening studs on both sides of the body) solves the problem.

Moreover, experts advise installing a trapeze from Priora on a VAZ 2110 - in this case, a rework is also needed, but some cost savings are achieved (spare parts from Priora are cheaper). The modification consists of replacing the wiper arms (on the VAZ 2110 they are slightly smaller

In addition, the connectors for connecting the electric motor are different. Here you need at least minimal knowledge in electronics, because you will have to install new wiring, reliably insulating it.

Problems with the elastic band

The elastic band can be replaced or cut. |Photo: .

Problems with rubber bands can be solved in one of two ways. The first one is expensive, but reliable. The second is budget and compromise. With the first method, everything should be extremely clear - we go to the store, buy new wiper blades there, install them and drive away happy.

The second method is not as good and involves additional work, but it will save money. It is necessary to trim the worn-off layer of elastic. This can be done either using improvised means or using a special (and inexpensive) device. Some brushes can be trimmed several times, significantly extending their service life.
