Lada Kalina: optimal wiper size

Wipers for Lada Kalina differ in type, as well as in size and mounting method, depending on the year of manufacture. High-quality windshield wiper blades are the key to safety on the road. They guarantee a good overview. Only two generations of cars were produced. Therefore, choosing the optimal solution for a given car in terms of price-quality ratio will not be difficult. Before purchasing, it is important to ensure that the specific model is suitable for installation.

The principle of operation of wipers

Before moving on to the question of how to choose good wipers, you should understand a little about the mechanism of operation of such brushes on a Lada Kalina 2, Station Wagon or Hatchback car.
In addition to the brushes that clean the car windows, the wipers also have fuses and a mounting block. And the intensity of the rosary’s operation depends to a large extent on the serviceability of the fuse. When the fuse blows for any reason, the brushes simply stop working. Then you need to remove the steering wheel and replace the fuse. Usually, if the brushes are selected correctly, they clean the glass perfectly without making a strong squeak. During operation, if the brushes do not work properly, you may hear a creaking sound, but the glass will not be cleaned well.

Possible sizes of wipers on Lada Kalina:

The size of brushes for Lada Kalina depends on their location and the type of car body.

Wiper parameters for hatchback and station wagon:

Length of driver's windshield wipers: 610 mm (24″).

Replacement

Wiper blade size for Lada Vesta

The process of replacing old windshield wiper blades with new ones does not cause serious problems

It is only important to carry out all actions carefully, not to break the plastic fastener included in the kit. The replacement process includes the following steps:. lift the wiper up, it is fixed in this position - perpendicular to the windshield;

lift the wiper up, it is fixed in this position - perpendicular to the windshield;

Next, you need to take the brush body in your hand and squeeze it, then move it down - slight swaying will simplify the procedure;

then the brush is simply removed from the lever.

The installation process is performed in reverse. Many brush models are supplied with special adapters.

They must be used carefully. Plastic is usually fragile. If it is damaged, it will be impossible to install the brush in place.

What will lead to the impossibility of using it?

Problems with the wipers

Wiper blade size for Lada Largus

Therefore, it is recommended to constantly monitor the operation of the wipers and promptly correct various problems. The principle of operation of wipers is simple, and most problems can be resolved independently. The main question here is to know a little about the operating principle of this unit.

In the case when the wipers on the Lada Kalina start to work poorly, you first need to check the mounting block, as well as the integrity of the fuse. As noted, this reason is the most common. Even a beginner can fix it. To replace the fuse, you must remove the cover from the fuse box. It is located under the steering wheel on the left. There is a diagram on this cover that will help you figure out where each fuse is located. It must be found, checked and replaced if necessary.

Intermittent operation

In this case, attention should be paid to the relay

Appearance of the wiper relay

Fuse box diagram

Also, if necessary, replace the relay. It is located next to the fuses in the mounting block. If the relay is working properly, then you need to check the drive. All contacts are inspected for oxidation. If necessary, they are replaced with new ones.

If this does not help, then you will need to check the entire system with a tester. In this case, make sure that voltage is supplied to the terminals.

Checking and repairing the wiper motor

If current is supplied to the windshield wiper motor, but it does not work, it will most likely need to be replaced.

Add. weight on the wiper motor - checked. Helps when the windshield wipers start to bite and they crawl slowly and creakingly across the glass

To do this, you need to disconnect the terminals from the battery and remove the protection from the wires. Then the screws that hold the contacts are unscrewed. Then the required element is changed and the system is assembled in the reverse order.

If electricity does not flow to the electric motor, the wiper switch will need to be replaced. To do this, you need to turn off the power to the car and remove the trim from the steering column. Remove the old switch and install the new one. Next, reassemble in reverse order.

Gearbox and trapezoid

We remove and inspect the trapezoid

If voltage is supplied to the electric motor, but the wipers do not spin, then the gearbox or trapezoid has failed. The gearbox axis should rotate after it is removed. If this is the case, but the trapezoid remains motionless, then you need to check the splines that drive it. If there is no damage, then you need to tighten the nut on the connection more tightly. If the splines are worn out, this element must be replaced.

Let's consider an example when a Lada Kalina has larger windshield wiper blades installed than indicated in the vehicle's technical manual. In the described case, the downforce will be reduced, as a result of which the quality of glass cleaning will significantly decrease. And if their size significantly exceeds that set by the factory, then the brushes may even come out onto the glass seal when moving, which will soon lead to its wear.

If smaller brushes are installed, then due to the small cleaning area the overall glass cleaning effect will be reduced. At the same time, it is possible that a spot of water and dirt may form in the center of the windshield, which impairs visibility through the glass while driving.

Additionally, incorrectly sized windshield wipers can cause the entire windshield wiper system to malfunction. For this reason, it is necessary to constantly monitor the performance of all parts of your personal vehicle and, if necessary, replace the windshield wiper blades.

First tests in rain and snow

As for the performance of these wipers in rain and warm weather, there are no complaints. During intensive work, you can only notice a barely noticeable squeak, which may not even appear even after 15-20 minutes of wiper operation.

Regarding the winter tests, everything is fine here too! The snow is cleaned perfectly, no streaks are left, there are no squeaks or extraneous sounds - in general, no complaints so far. Moreover, after a month I can say that this is so far the most successful option of those that I have already bought for my Kalina, namely:

Each of them had its own nuances, but the summer Bosch ones lasted the longest without any problems. Of course, in the last days of autumn they had already begun to creak quite a bit, but still they were enough for the entire season, from spring to autumn! As for the current brushes from Alca, I hope that the second and subsequent months will be as problem-free as the first. Of course, I will definitely post the results!

Model sizes

This criterion is considered one of the most important, since the final choice depends on it. The size of a vehicle's windshield wipers affects the maximum area of glass that can be wiped. The rear device installed on a hatchback body usually has different parameters compared to the windshield.

At the front, the size of the brushes is considered optimal, more compact. The manufacturer produces a twenty-four-inch front wiper as standard. Most consumers like this size, since the device is able to effectively remove all dirt from the glass quickly, without streaks, with maximum coverage of the contact surface.

When purchasing a purifier, it is better to seek help from a manager. He will give detailed advice and explain all the details. Companies often indicate incorrect data on the packaging that does not correspond to the technical specifications. Companies often round up digital values, which can become a problem during selection and further operation and installation. The seller will show you and tell you which mechanism you should buy.

Additional selection criteria

For a curved version of glass, a frame type of product is suitable. It is more budget-friendly and of lower quality, but it can be used to clean the surface well. Another type of brushes will not cope with this task; it will pollute the windshield area.

If there is no specific curvature, then a frameless mechanism would be the best option. It will fulfill its purpose well. The product, which does not have a frame, adheres very tightly to the surface. Over time, this friction will cause scratches. This will not happen immediately, but gradually over the course of many years of operation of the janitors. Before purchasing, you can experiment and check how tightly it fits. The best option: the product fits tightly, but there is no friction that can leave scratches on the glass.

When asking the price for an accessory, you should take into account all the above-described selection parameters. They will help you avoid making mistakes and buy a quality device. An important criterion is the size of Lada wipers, their model and production quality. A mechanism manufactured in accordance with all standards will serve the owner for a long time and efficiently.

Advantages and weaknesses of wipers

Each type of brush has certain advantages, and at the same time, both product options are not without disadvantages. Frameless versions have great durability, because for their production manufacturers use high-quality rubber and weather-resistant plastic. Over time, although the rear brush wears out, this process is not intensive.

In operation, frameless brushes for the Lada Kalina station wagon do not emit unpleasant squeaks and do not greatly rub the surface of the rear window. Also, the products adequately withstand the onslaught of temperature changes.

Now the disadvantages. There is only one point here - it is overpriced.

In addition to the metal base, frame brushes have plastic structural components that are integrated into the frame itself. Cleaners are low-cost and widely distributed in the retail chain.

Among the disadvantages of frame options, one can highlight their small resource. After a couple of years of use, the working elements of such a brush become unusable and require inevitable replacement. A constant companion to the work of the wiper is an annoying squeak.

Possible causes of the malfunction and ways to eliminate them:

When the windshield wiper is on, the electric drive does not work:

Fuse blown:

remove the cover located to the left of the driver, under the steering column, under it there is a mounting block;
on the cover of the mounting block there is a diagram of the location of the relays and fuses of the car, we find the required fuse and change it if necessary;

Relay fault:

If the wipers on the Lada Kalina do not work intermittently, you need to change the relay located in the mounting block, next to the fuses.

Wiper motor malfunction:

we check the ground terminal of the electric motor, screwed to the car body next to the rack;
we clean it and the attachment point;
install in place;

VAZ 1117 If this does not have a result, disconnect the connector for the electric drive of the windshield wiper, located under the windshield frame.

Using a tester or any other continuity test, we check whether power is coming to the connector. If power comes in, then it is necessary to change the wiper motor.

Disconnect the terminals from the battery. Remove the decorative caps from the leashes. Unscrew the nuts securing the leads and remove them. Remove the plastic grille under the windshield frame by unscrewing the bolts that secure it. Having unscrewed the trapezoid fastening (two bolts and one nut), remove the electric motor from the box and disconnect it from the trapezoid. We install a new one, repeating the procedure in reverse order.

If power does not come to the connector, the steering column switch must be replaced. Disconnect the battery terminals. Remove the plastic steering column cover. Disconnect the switch block and, pressing the latches on both sides, remove the steering column wiper switch. Install a new one by repeating the process in reverse order. Assembling the casing.

When turned on, the wipers on Kalina do not work, but the electric drive rotates

It is necessary to check the condition of the gearbox and wiper trapezoid.

Unscrew the plastic grill under the windshield frame. First remove the wiper arms and unscrew the nuts that secure them. We check whether the gearbox axis of the electric windshield wiper drive rotates.

If the axis rotates and the trapezoid is stationary, check the splined connection of the gearbox and trapezoid, and if necessary, tighten the fastening nut. If the connection is severely worn, it is necessary to replace this unit.

If your windshield wipers on your Lada Kalina do not work, this is not a reason to despair. As a rule, the cause is a minor malfunction. Such as a blown fuse or a loose nut on the spline connection between the gearbox and the windshield wiper drive, which can simply be tightened.

The windshield wiper electric drive system is quite reliable and does not require special maintenance. It is enough to follow basic operating rules. If during the winter period the wipers are frozen to the windshield, then before turning on the windshield wiper, it is necessary to free them from ice. And they will serve you without causing any problems.

Removing the windshield wiper mechanism completely is quite an easy job, for this we need 10 by 13 heads, a ratchet, a knob, a 10 and 13 ring spanner, you can also use an open-end wrench.

First of all, you need to get down to work on removing the wiper arms and plastic linings; detailed information on removing the plastic linings can be read here: Replacing the cabin filter on a Lada Kalina.

If you have sorted out the removal of the plastic covers, we proceed to the process of unscrewing the trapezoid mounting bolts. First, unscrew it on the left, as shown in the picture.

Then in the center.

After this, unscrew the nut on the right side; for this it is better to arm yourself with an open-end wrench.

Now there is nothing holding the trapeze, you need to slightly tilt it forward.

We take it out of the seat.

The final step when removing is to disconnect the power plug of the motor. To do this, you just need to bend the plug lock and remove the plug. First you need to disconnect it from the body; the plug is attached to a clip.

Removing and installing the windshield wiper motor on Lada Kalina

The motor is connected to the trapezoid by 3 bolts and one nut. So we unscrew the 3 bolts using a 10mm socket.

After this, unscrew the nut securing the trapezoid and the motor shaft.

You can remove the motor, since there are no more fasteners.

If there is a need, we replace the trapezoid or motor and assemble it in the reverse order.

Put a leash on the first viburnum) I calmly changed the frame ones to winter frame ones. I didn't even think it was a problem

I also struggled for a long time with removing the factory wiper. I couldn't get it off with a screwdriver. He freaked out and pulled it out with pliers and a hammer. Alka got up without any problems, cleans with a bang. So there is no need to change the leash.

Alka - you need to remember. Is this the brand of wipers?

An adapter from Alca fits.

The system is the same as on the classic. You did not completely remove the windshield wiper, but only the blade itself. The adapter also needs to be removed. Last summer I pulled it away from there and installed alca.

Oops, this is news. Thanks for the enlightenment. We will try. How to remove it? Do I need to pry it somewhere?

Possible malfunctions and how to eliminate them?

Intermittent operation of the rear wiper mechanism is a very common situation faced by owners of the Lada Kalina station wagon. The solution is simple - you need to replace the fuse. It is located in the mounting block, which in turn is located under the panel to the left of the steering column. Sometimes a replacement requires a relay, which can be found in the same mounting module.

When the rear windshield wiper completely refuses to function after activating the button, then diagnostics of the electric drive of the LADA Kalina station wagon will be needed. The wiring goes to the electric motor itself. Here you need to make sure that the contact at the ground terminal is reliable. In most cases, the problem is eliminated by simply cleaning the contacts from oxides. If such manipulations do not give the desired result, disassembling the mechanism and probably replacing the motor will be required. Sometimes the culprit for the lack of purifier functionality is the steering column switch.

To ensure high-quality cleaning of the windshield, it is recommended to replace the wipers with new ones every season, however, in practice, drivers do this much less often. But sooner or later everyone is faced with one question: “what is the permissible size of brushes on the Lada Granta/Lada Kalina 2.”

Why did we combine these two cars? The fact is that the second generation Lada Kalina 2 is produced only in hatchback and station wagon body styles, and the Lada Granta is considered a sedan in this line. That is why Lada Kalina 2 and Lada Granta have a lot in common, including the same windshield wiper blades (1118-5205072 and 1118-5205070), windshields (2190-5206012), etc.

The operating manual indicates the standard size of windshield wiper blades for Lada Granta and Kalina 2:

driver's (left) - 60 cm.
passenger - 41 cm.

We decided to find out what is the maximum possible length of the wipers of the Lada Granta/Kalina 2. It turns out:

If you install a 61 cm long brush instead of the standard one, it will touch the body, creating a knock. Maximum - 60 cm.
But the passenger side allows you to install a larger brush, the maximum possible length is 45 cm.

Thus, the maximum size of the wiper blades of these two cars is 600x450 mm. With this length, both blades on top of the windshield will be at the same level. Unlike the standard one, the longer passenger brush will completely clean the glass in the upper part, without touching the body.

Let us remind you that these Lada cars have common not only windshield wipers, but also “diseases”, for example, both cars have a squeaking clutch pedal.

Types of device

To choose and purchase the best wipers for Kalina, you should study the main types of mechanisms, as well as their fundamental differences and sizes.

There are several main types of cleaning products for this model of vehicle:

not having a frame base;
based on a frame.

Each of the above types has its own advantages. However, negative traits are also inherent in each of them.

The first type (frameless) has a high percentage of service life. This advantage is associated with correct manufacturing. The manufacturer uses only high-quality plastic and rubber. This approach extends the “life” of the Granta brush. A long period of operation does not affect the functionality; the rubber bands do not wear out quickly.

Extraneous sounds will not irritate the person driving or his passengers. The cleaning device is soft even with a large minus. He is not afraid of constantly changing temperature conditions.

Of the negative aspects, only one criterion can be highlighted - the inflated price tag. Car enthusiasts who own the Kalina 2 brand often turn a blind eye to this minus, since there are many more positive parameters. But not every brand of car is suitable for such a device.

The second type is made on the basis of a frame. It is made of metal with plastic components inside. The cost of such products is low, so you can find them in almost any specialized auto store.

This mechanism has more disadvantages than the previous one. Companies do not plan to use expensive raw materials in their production. This leads to constant wear and tear, which the consumer does not like. According to average statistical data, normal operation of the product is observed for one to two years. After this period of time, car owners replace the mechanism.

Most users notice creaking and other noises during operation, and rapid tearing of the rubber band. Such moments reduce the service life and make 100% cleaning of dirt as difficult as possible.

Why do you need glass cleaner?

One of the elements of comprehensive vehicle safety is the front and rear wipers. Its differences are minimal for different generations of Lada Kalina models. The device includes not only the usual brushes that clean organic and inorganic contaminants. A mandatory addition will be an electric drive, which is protected by a special fuse.

The correct choice directly affects the level of efficiency of the Lada Kalina windshield wiper. A good device, made to all standards from high-quality materials, will work without any extraneous squeaks. Also, the working elastic band will not break on new models.

Factors affecting the cleanliness of glass after processing:

clamping force of the main working element;
raw materials for production;
size of brushes for a car (for example, models Kalina 2, 1, Kalina station wagon).

The car owner must make his own choice. If it’s difficult to do this yourself, you can contact a consultant at a store specializing in auto parts.

How to change the rear ones

Rear wipers are also installed on hatchbacks and station wagons, since the rear window in such cars is quite large and gets very dirty, and a good view through it is also important.

The design of the rear wiper mounts is very different from that of the front ones. It is impossible to give universal advice here, since the rear wipers are mounted differently on all cars. Let's take the Kalina station wagon as an example.

The sequence of actions in this case is as follows:

Fines for crossing the stop line and speeding will no longer bother you!

It is necessary to lift the protective metal cap of the wiper, under which there is a fastening nut.
Take a 10mm wrench and unscrew the nut. Please note that there is a small washer under it to prevent it from being dropped. Slightly turning the wiper, pull it towards you and it can be removed without much difficulty. Now you need to remove the brush itself.
With the wiper removed, you need to pull the blade, and at the same time, use a screwdriver to slightly release the latch that holds it to the lever. The brush will come off. You can change it as described above.

When purchasing new wipers, it is important not to make mistakes with the size and compatibility of the mounts. Please note that self-installation of frameless brushes on a car with frame brushes requires a special adapter. You need to pay attention to the shape of the bend of the brush, as it affects the efficiency of cleaning the windshield. It is advisable to treat new brushes with soapy water before use.

How to install brushes on Kalina

Before choosing, it will be useful to become familiar with the types of wipers on the market that apply to the Lada Kalina in order to understand which ones are better. For this model, there are only two categories of these products on sale today:

frame;
with no frame.

Each type has its own advantages, but both of them are not without disadvantages.

Frameless options have great durability. The materials used for their production are high-quality rubber and durable plastic. Time on this type of product does not have a strong effect and does not cause significant wear. The cleaners are characterized by soft operation and no squeaking. They are also not afraid of temperature changes.

Now about the disadvantages. There is only one – high cost.

The frame elements are made of metal with the use of plastic parts in the design. These components are integrated inside a metal frame. Brushes have a low cost and are sold in almost any retail chain.

The disadvantages of this type of product are very varied. Production does not involve the use of high-quality materials, so the wear and tear of such products is observed with enviable intensity. Two years of moderate use render the brushes completely unusable, after which the inevitable moment of replacement comes. Creak is an eternal companion to the work of frame products. It is also possible that the working component may break, which makes cleaning much more difficult.

Selecting wiper blades

Depending on the purpose, wiper blades may be different. They are distinguished by:

Degrees of resistance to low temperatures.
Size.
The cycle of work.

Frame

Frame brushes are made of metal with plastic inserts. If they are used frequently, their resource quickly runs out. All fastening elements in them become loose. Also, these wipers cannot work at low temperatures.

Frameless

The article provides basic recommendations on how to choose the right one, as well as how to remove and install a rear windshield wiper for LADA Kalina station wagon. Situations with partial or complete loss of functionality of the mechanism, and what to do if these problems arise, are also discussed.

We recommend choosing a high-quality rear windshield wiper, which will not only effectively clean the surface of the stern glass, but will also last much longer.

The length of the windshield wipers on the Lada Kalina on the driver’s side reaches 24″ (610 mm), on the passenger’s side – 16″ (406 mm), on the rear – 14″-16″ (360-406 mm).

What other points to consider?

When choosing accessories for LADA Kalina, it would be useful to take into account the shape of the glass, and this applies not only to the front part, but also to the rear, as well as the size of the windshield wiper blades. If the front glass is curved outward, then the best option for it would be to purchase and install cheap brushes of a frame structure. This is caused by the inability of the frameless option to effectively clean glass of this shape. During operation, such products will leave marks on the surface in the form of stripes located on the outer edges of the cleaning zone.
