Many car enthusiasts are wondering how to remove seats on a VAZ 2114 or how to replace them?
Seat vaz 2114
The reasons for such manipulations can be very different:
- wear or serious damage to seats;
- the need to replace the floor covering;
- the need to glue the floors with soundproofing material;
- reupholstery of seats with new material (for example, leather);
- installation of alternative seats (both rear and front).
When choosing new seats to replace the basic ones, you should first of all pay attention not to their convenience and performance, but to the compatibility of their fastening with the fastening of the car.
In addition, various other situations may arise in which it may be necessary to dismantle and subsequently install the seats. We’ll look at how to do this as quickly and correctly as possible below.
Which seats fit on a Priora without modifications?
Anyone who has installed a seat from a foreign car, please share your experience

They offer me seats from the Accord 7. Do you think it will be difficult to install them in a Priora?
I don’t know myself from the BMW 735 in the E32 body
one of these days I’ll install a Subaru B4 for myself... while I’m preparing a neat frame for them...
From Lancer 9 2.0 to Priora we got up with some difficulties! but the impression is great
from Nissan Almera, BZ) everything is bolted and to the original fasteners) all functions are height adjustment, lumbar support, normal working slides, heating)
From paper 530 xi 2008. You buy adapters for the unp bride bucket and a similar plate on top because the bucket ones are narrower... and screw it on stupidly. I got by with 1500 without a collective farm. You can do it like this for any type of seat
The standard seats of Lada cars may not be entirely comfortable. Some people lack more developed lateral support, others want height adjustment or adjustable lumbar support. All the shortcomings can be solved in one way - installing alternative seats, for example, from a foreign car.
The front seats themselves are different for Granta and Kalina (first or second generation), but the fastenings are similar. Distance between skid mounting bolts:
- width - 450 mm;
- length - 340 mm;
- diagonally 560 mm.
Luxury trim levels have similar seat mountings, which now have height adjustment. Seats from Lada Granta Sport, Kalina Sport or Kalina Cross are also perfect. The seats of sports versions of cars are more rigid (the seating position will be higher) and have little lateral support.
If you decide to choose seats from a foreign car, then pay attention to two things:
- Overall dimensions of the seats. They should not only fit in the cabin, but also be adjustable in all positions;
- The width of the slide (the distance between the fastening bolts). If the width of the seat slides of a foreign car is 45 cm, then it becomes possible to install them on a Grant or Kalina without alterations (with minimal modifications).
We analyzed reviews from owners on the Internet and compiled a list of “which seats are suitable for Granta or Kalina without modifications” (where the seat mounts for foreign cars have a similar width of the slide). The table is updated as new information becomes available:
Automobile model | Note |
Mazda 6 (2008 onwards) | Width 450 mm. Lumbar support, seat lift up/down, larger pillow under the knees ( source ). |
Kia Rio | The slides are not symmetrical; the seats move inside the cabin by 1-2 cm. |
Hyundai Solaris | The slides are not symmetrical; the seats move inside the cabin by 1-2 cm. |
Skoda Fabia | Width 450 mm |
Chevrolet Lacetti | Width 450 mm |
Hyundai Tucson | Width 450 mm |
Honda CRV | Width 450 mm |
Opel Vectra C | Width 450 mm |
Renault Megane | Width 450 mm |
Nissan Qashqai | Width 450 mm |
Mazda CX-5 | Width 450 mm |
Volvo V40 | No fastening measurements were taken |
Skoda Octavia | No fastening measurements were taken |
Peugeot 308 | No fastening measurements were taken |
Toyota Camry | No fastening measurements were taken |
Opel Astra H | The width at the edges of the slide is 455 mm, in order to tighten the bolts you will have to cut off the edges of the slide |
All that needs to be modified is to saw off the excess parts of the foreign car's seat slide and drill new holes for the fastening bolts. The tools you need to have are a grinder, a drill, a hammer and a file. An example of a simple installation of seats from Hyundai Solaris/Kia Rio on Kalina:
If the width of the seat slide of a foreign car is more or less than 450 mm, then to install them you will have to make an adapter/plate and may require removing metal parts of the floor. Welding and other additional tools may also be required. An example of installing seats from a Mazda 3 on a Kalina:
Thus, before purchasing seats from a foreign car, make sure that the width of the slide exactly matches the standard one, and that the seats themselves can easily be placed according to their dimensions in the cabin of a Grant or Kalina, taking into account all the adjustments.

Not all Lada car seats are equally comfortable. One of the main requirements for the driver's seat is height adjustment. The owners of Lada XRAY were the luckiest in this regard, because... All crossover configurations have this useful option. Other Lada models have a driver's seat lift only in richer versions, or not at all. Let's look at how you can modify the driver's seat with your own hands.
Owners of cars that do not have seat height adjustment can raise the cushion themselves in one of several ways:
1. Place a piece of plywood on the bottom of the seat between the springs and the cushion (the safest and fastest way).
2. Place nuts under the front part of the slide (most often they are raised by 2.5..5 cm). Only the front part of the chair rises.
3. Place a profile pipe under the slide. The front and back of the seat lifts up.
Which seats are suitable for the VAZ 2114, or how to improve existing ones
Western car manufacturers pay a huge amount of attention to developing comfortable seats. Essentially, high-quality seats are the key to comfort for both driver and passengers. Therefore, today in most foreign cars you can often find anatomical designs that are equipped with lumbar support, and there is also lateral support. Recently, the domestic auto industry has begun to improve car seats for the benefit of comfort. But what about the owners of those generations where such options were not provided? In this case, the solution to the problem comes down to tuning the existing seats, or completely replacing the seats. This article will tell you how to modify the interior of a VAZ 2114, as well as which seats will fit in the car without complex modifications.
The dangers of uncomfortable car seats
Safety and driver comfort in any vehicle begins with the driver's seat. An insufficiently developed design significantly affects the general condition of the driver during long trips. It is possible that your back, arms and other troubles may become numb, which significantly distracts you from driving. The presence of comfortable seats is the primary factor when buying a car. Because not everyone wants to exercise after a long trip.
Additional replacement options
For all city cars, the front seats should be quite comfortable. If you are going to update your interior, pay attention to anatomical seats. A correctly selected anatomical seat will allow the driver to find a comfortable position for driving the car. It might seem like a small thing, but it relieves unpleasant back and neck pain, as well as stiffness in the limbs during prolonged sitting.
Among seat manufacturers, it is recommended to look at products from UNP.
Removing an old car seat can be much easier than installing a new one. Choose a replacement carefully, do not rush, because your comfort during the trip will depend on this choice. The optimal choice is an anatomical seat for driving on city roads. Depending on the number of functions, the price of an anatomical model may vary, so you can always find something suitable for you
Do-it-yourself seat upholstery 09/01/2015 02:48
Dear friends! We very often receive questions about how to independently replace factory seat covers that are already worn out with new ones. That is why we decided to publish a few tips that will make the replacement procedure much easier. In fact, the main part of the questions disappears after removing the old covering, when you get a visual understanding of how to reupholster the seats.
1. If you don’t have a garage or a dry and comfortable room for this type of work, it’s realistic to replace the upholstery in your apartment; you won’t need a lot of space, of course, if you don’t take on the entire interior at once. So, let's start with the front seats. We remove the seat and disassemble them into three parts: the seat, the back and the headrest. To better understand the principle of operation, start with the simplest thing, with the headrests, remove the old trim and put on the new one (see photo No. 1)
2. After you have removed the old covering, you will see that the cover (covering) is fixed with special metal hooks to the seat frames. From the back of the back they are located below. To speed things up and simplify it, instead of hooks you can take plastic clamps or otherwise called nylon ties (see photos No. 2, 3 and 4)
3. To give the skin shape, they use special metal knitting needles; they need to be removed from the standard kit, because They are not included with the new ones. (see photo No. 5)
4. There is still a point that cannot be ignored! If the service life of the old seats is already long, most likely the foam rubber under the covers is not in the best condition. If it is not possible to buy new foam rubber for both front seats at once, replace at least the driver’s seat, or, as a last resort, swap places with the passenger seat (they are interchangeable, see photo No. 6), as a rule, the driver’s seat wears out more. If you still don’t want to replace the foam rubber, the advice is as follows: When putting on a metal knitting needle, leave a little space on each edge, approximately 3 cm. That is, the casing is fixed in 3 places, if you make an indent of a few cm, then there will be fastenings along the edges knitting needle to knitting needle, but only from the middle part through the material.
5. Let's return again to the problem with old foam rubber. If you do not have the opportunity to replace it, we advise you not to install vertical spokes on the seats (see photo); dismantle them, marked in the photo.
6. We change the rear cover using almost the same principle. We insert the already removed knitting needles from the old upholstery into a new cover and fix the fabric. The type of fastening will depend on the car model. On some cars, rubber laces or already known metal hooks, etc. may be used as fastenings.
7. It is extremely rare, but it does happen that after replacing old covers with new ones, in some places there may be minor and practically invisible dents. In order to eliminate this and make everything perfectly smooth, you need to iron the surface with a steamer (see photo No.
8. By the way, do not forget that reupholstering the seats is the most convenient time to install or replace heated seats, clean the lower parts of the frames/slides from rust, and also, if you removed all the seats at once, you can also clean the ceiling, it will be more convenient.
At first glance, it seems that this process will take you a lot of time and it is very difficult, but if you have a positive attitude, you can handle it in five to six hours of work. And then what a pleasant feeling you will get from driving in the updated interior
Manufacturing of covers
First of all, you will need new seat covers. You can either order them ready-made or sew them yourself. Practice shows that there are no particular difficulties in this work.
We remove the old covers and rip them into separate parts. We lay out the new fabric on the table, put the old parts of the cover on it and trace it along the contour. All that remains is to cut out the outlined details with sharp scissors. A finishing material called Alcantara is ideal for upholstering the seats of the VAZ 2114.
This suede-like fabric has many advantages:
- wear resistance;
- durability;
- resistance to external influences;
- elasticity (which is especially important for upholstery of products of complex shapes);
- ease of care;
- resistance to deformation due to temperature changes;
- pleasant, soft structure, reminiscent of suede.
Each part of the old cover must be signed with a marker or felt-tip pen so as not to get confused when cutting new products.
In addition to fabric, for upholstering the seats you need foam rubber, 5-7 mm thick, on a fabric basis. We glue the cut parts of the covers to the foam rubber on the reverse fabric side.
Separately, it is worth mentioning the glue used for reupholstering the seats. Regular glue in a jar and a brush are not suitable for this purpose. You can only use spray glue; in this state it will not clog into the large pores of the foam rubber and will not spoil its structure. The German Mah3 upholstery adhesive, created specifically for use in the auto industry, has proven itself to be excellent.
How to choose anatomical or sports seats for a VAZ 2114
Covers often improve only the appearance of the interior, sometimes slightly increasing the anatomical properties of the seats. If comfort is the main issue during modifications, then completely replacing the seats is an excellent solution. The selection of anatomical or sporty seats is limited only by the amount of money and the owner’s imagination. Do you want a lower back massage or heating? Buckets or comfortable seats? All this is real, even without any special modifications to the fastenings.
You can make a choice both in favor of new products and in the direction of used seats from foreign cars. The supply market is quite extensive.
Anatomical seats have good lateral support, which will prevent the driver or front passenger from flying out of it when cornering. In addition, the correct position of the back is maintained. Such seats significantly reduce the risk of musculoskeletal diseases - this is one of the important selection criteria for drivers who spend most of the day behind the wheel. Typically, anatomical seats are equipped with headrests and armrests.
Bucket-type sports seats are not divided into backrest, seat and headrest (as with anatomical solutions). The entire frame is characterized by increased rigidity, representing one whole, without adjustments. Thus, sports seats are not suitable for every driver.
We improve the interior with covers
How to install covers on a VAZ 2114
It is entirely possible to cope with this task yourself, so no additional costs are expected. The standard set of covers includes upholstery for seats, backrests and headrests.
Before installation, it is advisable to accurately understand each element. That is, it is important to determine where each cover will be installed. The tensioning process must begin from the front seats. Step-by-step instruction:
- Remove the head restraints.
- Pull the covers over the backs.
- Using hooks, secure the elastic bands that are located along the central seam. It must be threaded through the gap between the seat and backrest.
- Next, the cover is pulled over the seat and secured in the same way.
- The final stage is the installation of head restraints.
- To install the covers on the rear seats, they must first be dismantled and removed from the car.
During work, keep in mind that the covers with zippers are pulled over the backrests, the rest are intended for chairs. Is the factory trim already worn out? Then, before installing the covers, you need to bring it into proper shape (alter it or dry clean it).
If it is necessary to carry out a complete reupholstery of the interior, then it is better to entrust this work to professionals.
What is needed to install seats in Lada?
At car service stations, you could ask this question and receive a skeptical look from the mechanic in response. This is a rare task for workshops; not all bodywork specialists can perform this task. However, you can go in three ways to solve the problems that arise:
- Self-remodeling. To do this, you will need to find good seats for a specific foreign car on the classifieds website. Next, the fasteners are cut off from the original seats and welded onto the purchased seats. After that, all that remains is to install the update in the car interior.
- Search service station. Today there are many stations that are ready to do this job for you. In big cities there are even entire companies that install good seats in domestic cars. So it won't be too hard to find.
- Purchasing ready-made refurbished chairs. It is quite possible that on the same advertisement site you can find seats for the VAZ 2110 that are ready for installation. The specialists themselves will digest the mount after receiving your order and send you the finished product.
Which option to prefer, choose for yourself. But before installing such a seat, it is worth checking the quality of welding
If the base is welded poorly, it is worth correcting this defect. For example, a crooked mount will force you to constantly sit with a small rotation of the body. And too flimsy installation will cause poor security
For example, in the event of an accident, such a seat can break off its fastenings and cause irreparable damage to the driver and front passenger.
And too flimsy installation will cause poor security. For example, in the event of an accident, such a seat can break off its fastenings and cause irreparable damage to the driver and front passenger.
Kinds
First, let's look at the types of seats that you can purchase for your VAZ 2114. There are three categories in total, the advantages and disadvantages of which are described in more detail in our table.
Seat type | pros | Minuses |
Racing | Ideal for professional sports, designed for very high loads, made of high quality materials | The design is uniform and is not divided into a backrest and a chair. Very expensive, cause discomfort when boarding and disembarking, and quite hard. They are not intended for driving on regular roads or for long voyages. |
Sports | The backrest is adjustable, they look great on the fourteenth, well-thought-out safety, clear fixation of the driver, they have excellent support for the hips and shoulders, long trips do not cause discomfort | Not suitable for cars with soft suspension, there are problems with the landing, which is quite uncomfortable, especially for large drivers and passengers |
Gran Turismo | Luxury chairs that are ideal in terms of comfort and ergonomics. Externally attractive, perfectly secures the driver, withstands heavy loads, allows you to easily sit down and stand up, can have many built-in functions, ideal for professional drivers, wide range of position adjustments | They have practically no downsides. But the more features, the higher the cost |

Don't chase fashion when purchasing sports or racing seats for regular city roads. But if you are adapting your VAZ for competitions, then it is categorically not recommended to go on the tracks on ordinary seats.
High comfort chairs
What to choose
We have decided on the types of seats, but there are a great variety of them depending on the manufacturer, size, functions, etc.
Since the VAZ 2114 is a car more likely for city roads, we will focus on the choice of anatomical seats.
Let's discuss several points for choosing them.
- Origin. Here the choice is between used and new seats. The new ones are more expensive, but they certainly have more advantages. A good place to look for used seat sets is car dismantling yards, where you can touch and inspect the product with your own hands. The choice depends on you and your financial capabilities.
- Equipment. The presence of armrests and headrests is strongly encouraged. Make sure that the chairs come with all the necessary components and fasteners. They are not always provided by the seller, so ask in advance about the installation details.
- Fastenings. Some seats from foreign cars fit perfectly under the standard VAZ holes for installation. For others, you have to do a little modification in the form of using adapters or creating additional holes. And there are also those, for the installation of which you will have to almost completely redo the seat on the body. This is far from the best option, since you will have to spend a lot of time and money.
- Manufacturer. A lot depends on who exactly made the seats you choose. If you are interested in kits from foreign cars, then seats from Ford have proven themselves to be quite good. But keep in mind that some may be too wide, which will complicate access to the handbrake and will not allow you to move the seat back and forth. Take measurements in advance. There is also a company called UNP. It specializes in the manufacture of both anatomical and sports seats for cars of the domestic manufacturer - AvtoVAZ. They have a higher quality finish and are offered with all the necessary accessories and fasteners. Working with them is more convenient and easier.

Secure fixation
When choosing new seats for your VAZ 2114, pay attention not only to their price and convenience, but also to the method of fastening. Some seat models are very difficult to fit into the cabin, although they may suit your preferences
Improperly securing the seats can cause injury, especially at high speeds or in accidental collisions. If you have found a suitable model of seat, but it is not securely attached to its future installation location, take the car to a workshop where all the work will be carried out for you.
As mentioned earlier, it is better to take the recommended models of seats from foreign cars for replacement from Ford or Audi. Many drivers have noticed that Opel seats are also excellent for replacement and require a minimum of additions. Even chairs from Hyundai can become a more or less comfortable and quite acceptable option, if you slightly alter the design of the frame and fastenings.
Rear passenger seats
How to remove the rear pair of passenger seats? Removing seats in VAZ models, starting from 2108 and ending with 2115, is done in exactly the same way. The set of tools remains unchanged from the first example. Here is the sequence of actions:
- The rear seats do not need to be moved, they are fixed. To access the fastenings, use a flat screwdriver to pry up the protective pad just below the seat cushion.
- First, unscrew the two bolts that hold the pillows on the side. Here you need a 10mm head.
- Next, the same fastenings must be removed in the lower part of the seat backs using exactly the same key.
- After unscrewing all the bolts, you can safely remove the rear seat.
Ford or Audi A4 series rear seats are recommended as replacements. Why these options? They will require minimal correction of the frame and fastenings from you, in addition, they will fit perfectly into the interior of the cabin.
Of course, you can choose other seat options, but it will require more modifications, parts and time to properly attach the new passenger seats.
Seat adjustment
To adjust the front seats longitudinally, pull up the locking lever 2 (Fig. 5), located on the side of the cushion 3. After installing the seat, release the lever and slightly move the seat back and forth to make sure it is securely locked. The tilt of the seat back is adjusted by rotating handle 1. Head restraints 5 are adjustable in height and tilt.
Do not adjust the driver's seat while driving. It may move suddenly, causing you to lose control of the vehicle.
The backrest 7 of the rear seat of sedan cars is divided into two parts by the armrest 15. To use the armrest, turn it and place it on the cushion 6.
The headrests 8 of the rear seat are adjustable only in height. To adjust or dismantle the head restraints in the case of removing or reclining the rear seat back, you must press the stopper lever 12 and, while holding it, adjust the height or remove the head restraint 8.
The rear seat is easily removable, which allows in some cases to carry cargo in the trunk, partially allowing it into the cabin. To remove the rear seat:
- remove head restraints 8;
- pull up the hinges of the locks 13, slightly tilt the backrests 7 forward and disengage the movable hinge 10 from the fixed hinge 11 on the body 9;
- press the lock handles 16 on both sides of the seat cushion 6 and, lifting it slightly, remove it.
The convertible rear seat of hatchback and station wagon cars allows you to increase the luggage compartment area. Depending on the cargo being transported and the number of passengers, a full or partial seat layout is provided.
On LADA 111, 112 cars and their modifications, before laying out the rear seats, make their belts inoperative. To do this, pull the side passenger's belt (see Fig. 6) to a short length from the reel and fix its tongue in the lock, and pass the middle passenger's belt through the strap in the upper part of the backrest and also fix its tongue in the lock.
Lay out the seat with the rear doors open in the following order:
- pull the loops 1 (Fig. 7) and place the pillows 2 in a vertical position. If necessary, move the front seats forward;
- remove the rear seat head restraints, install them in the transport position by inserting them into the holes on the base of the cushion 2, which is in a vertical position, and then, applying a slight force to the backrest 4 in the rearward direction, pull the lock handle 3 up, release the backrest 4 and lay it down, as it shown on the picture.
Place the seat back smoothly, avoiding the locking mechanism of the belts from operating when they are pulled out of their reels.
When transporting large cargo, remove shelf 5.

Removing and replacing front seats
Now it’s worth talking about how to remove the front pair of seats of a VAZ 2114. For dismantling you will need a standard kit:
- flat screwdriver;
- set of removable heads;
- ratchet;
- collar
The disassembly procedure is as follows:
- We secure the car for the duration of the work. At will, we select one of the seats from the pair and push it forward all the way.
- You will need to remove the cables.
- After the cables have been removed, you need to tilt the seat back as far as possible until the fastenings underneath are visible.
- The chair is secured with four nuts that hold the entire structure on the bracket. Unscrew them, part of the structure should now “move” freely.
- Next, lift the seat to gain access to the remaining fasteners.
- You need to tighten two bolts. After this, the seat can be removed and taken out of the cabin.
- We remove the second front seat in the same way.
Before installing new seats, clean and lubricate the mounting points. In some cases, you will have to modify the frame, and in some, change the mounting locations - everything will depend on the model of the chair that you are going to install.
The method of installing spacers is the most effective and least expensive. The downside of installing this element is that the suspension becomes stiffer. To raise the rear suspension, you can replace the struts and shock absorbers. In this case, the service life of the entire suspension will be extended.
When raising the rear of the car using springs and shock absorbers, it is worth knowing that the height of the suspension does not depend on the strut, but the handling of the car does. To raise the rear suspension of the VAZ, it is worth buying longer springs, but you need to know the limit, since they may not fit into the struts. To prevent the car from sagging due to overload, it is worth installing stiffer springs; they are not always higher than the factory ones. You should not buy the toughest of them, as driving in such a car will turn into a test.
Replacing the springs will help.
You should choose hard shock absorbers, since on the road the car will not tilt from side to side due to the slightest unevenness.
Some people install air suspension on domestic cars, then the ground clearance increases significantly, but the special convenience is that it can be adjusted.

When raising the rear suspension of a VAZ, you should know when to stop, since after all, this is not an SUV and the components of this car are not designed for such a load.

Replacing seats
Installing seats in a car may be necessary for various reasons, so in each case there are certain nuances that are worth paying attention to. The choice of replacement will largely depend on the location of the interior elements. For example, the front seats are replaced most often because they are used more actively. Drivers use their cars every day, so comfort during the trip plays an important role for them. Depending on your driving style and the purpose of the car, first choose the type of seat, and then the model.
The two rear passenger seats can be replaced if more than two people are needed frequently. Models here should be selected in accordance with your finances.
Because of these operational features, it is worth approaching the choice of seemingly identical seats in different ways.
When selecting a replacement for both options, you should pay attention to many factors: height, weight of the person, figure, as well as other anatomical features. If the car is used only by family members, then you should take care of their comfort and choose seat models that best suit their requirements.

How to remove the front seats on a VAZ 2114
The prerequisites for such manipulations are very different:
- wear and tear, as this is still called severe seat damage;
- the need to change gender;
- the need to glue soundproofing material to the floor;
- rearrangement of seats with new material (for example, leather);
- installation of other seats (both rear and front).
When choosing new seats instead of the basic ones, it is important to pay attention not only to their comfort and efficiency, but also to the compatibility of their fastening with a car
In addition, there will be different situations when dismantling and subsequent placement will be required. We will discuss below how to do this very quickly and correctly.
And yes, we will analyze the questions - how to remove the front seats on a VAZ 2114.
Seat Design Vase 2114
To perform this operation we will need the following set of tools:
- flat screwdriver;
- ratchet;
- collar;
- 8 mm head (or Torx 10 in later models);
- 13 mm head or 13 key.
Seat Removal Tools
The front seats are removed as follows:
- Disconnect the heated seat harnesses (for which the design is intended, if any).
- Using a size 13 wrench, loosen the four nuts that secure the front seat tube.
Remove the seat nuts
If necessary, remove the torsion bars by pulling firmly on the edges.
When purchasing new front seats, the best option would be to trust the so-called anatomical ones, which will allow you to feel comfortable behind the wheel even during many hours of travel.
In addition to replacing or repairing the front seats, the question often arises about what it actually means to remove the rear seat on a VAZ 2114. In most cases, this is necessary when the car is often used to carry passengers in the rear seats. and the available places for one reason or another are not suitable for them.
Then you can disassemble the base and seats and replace them with new ones - more suitable for the anatomical data of passengers (today the choice of such seats with different shape and size properties is quite wide).
In addition, most car enthusiasts install rear seats from different cars, in most cases from Ford or Audi - since they are much more comfortable than the “original” VAZ seats, and at the same time they fit into the car with the introduction of small configurations into the mounting structure.
Vase for changing rear seats 2114
In order to take a place, a number of simple operations are required:
- tear off the protective screwdriver just below the seat cushion with a flathead screwdriver or a strong blade;
- unscrew the two mounting bolts holding the cushion on the sides (a 10mm socket is required);
- unscrew the bolts located at the bottom of the seats (with the same head);
- delete vacancies (they are no longer protected).
New rear seat

New passenger seats produced in this area are actuated (as if the front seats are actuated) in the same manner, but in reverse order.
If a car seat of a different brand is installed on the road instead of the basic one, it will probably be necessary to introduce additional configurations into its design (nominally for drilling additional mounting holes, but in most situations these configurations are even simpler).
As we said above, the answer to the question - how to raise the rear seat of a VAZ 2114 - is quite conventional, since it is attached with a small number of fasteners and does not even require the use of a lot of tools. But another important issue is choosing new, different places.
Some motorists, as already mentioned, install 2114 seats of other models, and sometimes other brands of cars (for example, Ford seats) on their vases. At the same time, when choosing them, you must carefully monitor their size and installation features (although I often look for motorists specifically about their “working” properties - comfort, wear resistance, anatomy, etc.).
New front seats
This rule applies to the front seats - the fewer modifications you have to make during installation, the better. It should also be emphasized that when replacing front seats, so-called "anatomical" seats (eg those made by UNP) must be identified.
They allow you to drive for long hours and travel for hours without feeling sluggish, also known as back and joint discomfort (such seats are especially recommended for frequent and long trips in urban areas).
Installation
Install the rear seat in reverse order.
Many car enthusiasts are wondering how to remove seats on a VAZ 2114 or how to replace them?
The reasons for such manipulations can be very different:
- wear or serious damage to seats;
- the need to replace the floor covering;
- the need to glue the floors with soundproofing material;
- reupholstery of seats with new material (for example, leather);
- installation of alternative seats (both rear and front).
In addition, various other situations may arise in which it may be necessary to dismantle and subsequently install the seats. We’ll look at how to do this as quickly and correctly as possible below.
When is it necessary to remove the rear seats?
Over the years of use of the car, all elements of the interior wear out. The seats are upholstered in fabric, so they need to be cleaned periodically to remove dust and dirt.
It is best to do it after dismantling them, in this case the cleaning will be really high-quality and effective.
Rear seat removal may also be necessary for repairs in the following situations:
after an accident; if the backrest lowering mechanism breaks down; if the armrests are faulty; for tightening fastening mechanisms.
Finally, Alcantara, practically not inferior in aesthetic and technical characteristics to natural upholstery, has a low cost, and therefore car seat covers have a more than reasonable price. Delivery of selected and ordered products to any point in Russia in the shortest possible time.
A slightly less practical option is with model car covers made of fabric, velor and Alcantara. They also fit perfectly on chairs, like eco-leather covers, but at the same time they breathe better. The only negative is that it is not as easy to wipe off dirt from them as from eco-leather covers.
