Improvements and service

Lada Vesta is rightfully considered the best Russian car... ...and is increasingly popular among buyers. But this modern model is not immune to problems with door handles, which are typical for all cars produced by the AvtoVAZ concern. Let's look at the main malfunctions of Vesta's door mechanisms and learn how to fix them ourselves. Typical problems with Lada Vesta door handles Most often, door handles on Vesta jam or do not return to their original position. This is especially true for the driver's door, which is used more intensively. This problem sometimes occurs immediately after purchasing a new car. The manufacturer knows about this defect and replaces these parts in the warranty service without problems, so if such a malfunction occurs, you can simply contact the service center, where they will fix it for you. But you can cope with this problem yourself. In addition to jamming, many drivers are worried about such a nuisance as the constant squeaking of internal door handles. This intrusive sound can be eliminated by installing additional insulating material or sealant from the inside, which will require dismantling and disassembling the internal element. Another common problem is damage to the paintwork near the outer trim. To prevent them from scratching the paint, it is necessary to fix the gasket between the moving element and the body, which can sometimes not be held securely. In order to do this, you need to glue the gasket under the rubbing parts using double-sided tape. Removing the door handle on a Lada Vesta car We will consider the process of removing the external handles, which must be done in case of any type of breakdown, in stages. Looking at the handle from the outside, it seems that it does not have any fastening elements and it is completely unclear how to dismantle it. In fact, access to the fastenings is located under a rubber plug at the end of the door. This plug must be carefully pryed with a hard object and pulled out. There is a bolt inside under the plug. It needs to be unscrewed using a T15 key. There is no need to completely unscrew the screw; you can simply loosen it a few turns - this will be enough. Next, you need to carefully pull out the plastic stopper. It should come out easily, without any extra effort. The plastic here is quite fragile, so you need to act carefully. If the element does not slide out, you can spray a little liquid lubricant, such as VD-40, into the gap and try again. After the corner is removed, the door handle must be moved slightly back and towards you. First the back part is released, and then the front. You also need to act carefully, with smooth movements. The process described concerns the passenger handle. If you need to remove the driver's, then first you need to disconnect it from the lock that is located in it. To do this, the door cards are removed to open access to the door rods, and the fastenings are carefully disconnected. The rear elements are removed in the same way, only the plug is located under the door seal, which can simply be bent a little. How to remove interior door handles on Lada Vesta? Internal handles often bother drivers with squeaking and unpleasant squeaking noises while driving. This problem can be solved by using a gasket inside the Madeleine part or automotive sealant. You must proceed in the following order: Remove the plastic cover. To do this, you need to carefully pry it over the edge with a flat object and remove it. It is better to use special plastic spatulas that will not damage the decorative coating of the door. This interior element does not have any fasteners in the form of screws or bolts, so it is very easy to remove. The main thing is to act carefully so that the thin plastic does not break. Picture 7 After the handle is dismantled, you need to carefully glue the joints with insulating material. To do this, you can use madeline, a special anti-creaking noise-insulating tape that is sold in car dealerships, or fabric electrical tape. It is necessary to glue along the entire perimeter, excluding the clamps, so that the part can hold on. Some drivers use sealant instead of insulating material, but after this treatment it will be difficult to dismantle it again if necessary, and it may need to be completely replaced. Reinstall the handle in the reverse order. After gluing it will snap tighter, and you need to tighten it well and press it. We check that everything is done correctly by closing and opening the doors several times. Using overlays on Lada Vesta door handles To avoid wasting time and money on replacement, Vesta owners often use special overlays. Usually these are chrome-plated elements that are installed directly on old parts that have lost their appearance over time, but work properly. There is a large selection of linings on the market, both external and internal. They are very easy to install. They are usually attached with double-sided tape or other adhesive material. How much will it cost to replace Lada Vesta door handles? Many Vesta car owners prefer to completely replace them instead of repairing them. Sets of new parts are sold in car dealerships everywhere, and purchasing the required color is not a problem. You can order the necessary spare parts on the Internet, for which you need to know their article number.

Conclusions Making minor modifications to the door handles of a Lada Vesta car is not particularly difficult. This does not require any special skills or complex tools, so anyone can cope with the task. The driver just needs to remember that removing external and internal elements requires care and caution, since the plastic on Vesta is quite fragile.
