Viburnum has standard sizes and the most common mount, so there are many wiper options available on the market.

Lada Kalina

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″).
Passenger wiper length: 406 mm (16″).
Rear wiper length: 360 mm (14″).

Windshield wiper parameters for a sedan:

Length of driver's windshield wipers: 610 mm (24″).
Passenger wiper length: 406 mm (16″).
Rear wiper length: 406 mm (16″).

Important: only frame and frameless types of wipers can be installed on this Lada car model. To avoid difficulties when replacing wipers, the manufacturer recommends selecting brushes of standard sizes.

Which wipers will last longer?

So, you have decided on the parameters of the windshield wiper blades for your car. All that remains is to choose products of a suitable design. There are 3 types on the market today.

Frame - the traditional type that is used on most cars. The cleaning brush is mounted on a holder, which is a system of rocker arms and levers for pressing the rubber band against the windshield. Over time, the pressure becomes worse, and streaks remain on the glass.
Frameless ones caused a sensation with their appearance on the market. To press such a brush, a system of plastic fastenings is not required. Due to the springy base, the wiper fits tightly to the glass and follows its shape. These brushes look more aesthetically pleasing.
Hybrid - appeared on sale relatively recently. At first they were equipped with premium cars. However, now they can be found on the open market. They combine the advantages of frame ones due to the presence of clamping levers and frameless ones due to their aesthetic appearance, since the structure is hidden under a casing.

Which wipers to choose for your car, decide for yourself. The service life depends not only on the design, but also on the quality of the products. Of course, nameless brushes that cost 100 rubles are unlikely to be of good quality. For long-term use, it is better to choose branded windshield wipers. It’s good if the edge of the rubber part is covered with graphite - this makes it easier to slide on the glass. Many motorists change wipers according to the season, for example, for the cold season - winter, for the warm season - summer.

Choose windshield wiper blades on our website. We offer framed and frameless products of various lengths. They are sold in pairs and individually, so it is easy to choose suitable wipers for any brand of car. Make your choice! And you will be provided with excellent visibility in rain and snow. And this, as we know, is the key to safe traffic.

Which windshield wipers are best to buy: tips for buyers

Be careful and avoid buying counterfeits. Sometimes it can be extremely difficult to distinguish them from the original. But if a potential buyer spends time studying the characteristics and specifications established on the manufacturer’s official website, he will be able to notice even small deviations from the norm: color, size, coating and other parameters.

Before purchasing wipers, pay attention to the following criteria:

Length. Car repairers and dealers traditionally recommend focusing on the factory kit installed on the car. But in recent years there has been a growing trend towards buying brushes of different sizes. Experts allow this option, but note that they should not interfere with each other along the way.
Type of wipers. Buy only the version that meets the operating conditions.
Fittings. Inappropriate types of fastening on cars and brushes will not allow them to be secured tightly. And in some cases you won’t even be able to purchase them.
Defects. Even minor defects are defects that will cause a decrease in efficiency during operation.
Additional options. Quite often, newfangled heating falls into this category. But experts consider this function impractical: it is not needed for mild winters, and in cold weather it breaks down due to overloads.

Good and properly selected car brushes mean a safe trip in any weather. Therefore, it is worth taking the time to research the issue and purchase the best option.

Replacement

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?

Replacing wiper blades (+ video)

The blades are removed and the lock on the end of the windshield wiper is unfastened. Next, the rubber bands that are mounted on the frame are removed. Work must be done carefully. Next, new brushes are installed. If necessary, they are trimmed. You need to use scissors for this. The new rubber bands are tightly attached to the windshield wiper. Here you may need to straighten the fasteners or push the brushes under them. In the first option, you can accidentally damage the terminals, and in the second, you can fiddle with the work for a long time. Here everyone should choose the most convenient method for themselves.

As you can see, replacing and repairing wipers is a fairly simple job. This does not require certain skills and knowledge from the driver. The main thing is to understand the design of this system and know where to look for a fault. You also need to be quite careful when carrying out work. In winter, you need to make sure that the brushes are not frozen and there is no ice on them, as this can lead to damage to the glass.

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.

Rules for caring for windshield wipers

In order for installed wipers to last as long as possible, they must be properly cared for:

Lubricate the guide pins regularly. Silicone compounds are suitable for this. If you miss the moment, rust will ruin even an installed expensive model.
Be sure to remove the cleaning element and wash it with soap and water. This is necessary due to severe environmental pollution in cities.
Trace the position of the leash against the glass - an ideal perpendicular position.
Never try to clear frozen glass with wipers. First, manually remove the ice or heat the surface before turning on the automatic brushes.
Choose the length of your wipers carefully. They should not come into contact with the gasket during the entire stroke.

Don't forget about seasonality and adaptation to certain models. Using summer wipers in winter will immediately damage them, and the lack of an adapter on the purchased model will not allow installation on a vehicle.

Important! Worn hinges increase the washer consumption several times and create a very unpleasant backlash. Therefore, windshield wipers are not changed according to regulations, but because they fail.

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.

Selecting wiper blades

Wipers come in different types depending on their purpose. They are distinguished by their size, degree of frost resistance and increased operating cycle. When choosing windshield wipers, you need to consider the advantages and disadvantages of each option.

Frame brushes are usually made of metal, but they have a large number of plastic inserts. With frequent use, such brushes quickly waste their resources and often become loose. These wipers deteriorate quickly when exposed to cold temperatures.

Frameless brushes are made from rubber and plastic and have an arched shape. The main advantage of such wipers is the absence of noise and increased resistance to frost. Frameless wipers serve for a long time. In addition, these windshield wipers can be easily updated, you just need to choose the right blade size.

Standard brush sizes for Lada Kalina:

Driver's side wiper - 600 mm / 24 inches;
Passenger side wiper - 400 mm / 16 inches.

Standard wiper brush length

When purchasing, you should pay attention to the fact that some manufacturers round the size in cm or inches.

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?

You can’t explain it on your fingers, look at how it’s done on the seven and you’ll understand everything right away)

There were no problems. O.o. I stopped by on the way to the auto shop and took the first one I came across (it came with a bunch of adapters) and it fit like a native

and what was the first one that came across?

Unfortunately, I can’t answer - the box was thrown away, I rummaged through the card - all that was left was the price of 380 rubles and adapters. There are no inscriptions on the wiper either.

Install another brush mount instead of the standard one. It is also possible from Ashanovsky wipers. I installed it, everything is fine. And the leash from K1 solved the problem with cleaning. I don’t know why neKotov has a problem.

Is the regular one removed? There it seems to have been sawed down tightly. I'll see how it goes...

Removable, but difficult.

Is the regular one removed? There it seems to have been sawed down tightly. I'll see how it goes...

It is removed, there you need to lift the plastic tip towards the street with a flat screwdriver so that the round pimp comes out of the hole in the leash.

Fine. Is everyone going this route? Is it impossible to find a wiper that would actually fit our fasteners? Where are manufacturers looking?

I installed Alca Winter, they installed well (I also installed the adapter that came with the kit on the rear one). They work great, but in March the right wiper in the lower part began to press weakly.

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.

Purifier size

This is an important criterion that has a direct impact on the selection process. The area of the glass surface to be cleaned depends on the size of the product's wipers. The rear wiper for a hatchback may differ in size from the front wipers, which must be of sufficient size to maintain the required cleaning efficiency.

In practice, it has been observed that the optimal overall dimension of the windshield wipers for the front glass is 24 inches. By the way, for the “passenger” section you can safely use the 16-inch version of the product.

For the stern glass, you can choose an accessory according to the personal preferences of the owner. Many owners of the Lada Kalina hatchback version testify that the most rational size of wipers is 24 inches. With such a “unit”, cleaning the glass surface will be quite effective, since the treatment area in this case is maximum.

When purchasing wipers, you will need the attention and advice of the seller to ensure that the size of the windshield wiper blades indicated on the packaging corresponds to the actual parameters of the product. This is due to a cunning maneuver by accessory manufacturers to tend to round off digital data. This aspect does not carry a global burden, however, having reliable information will not prevent the owner from gaining confidence in the ideal applicability of the cleaners to his LADA Kalina car.

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:

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.

Operating principle of purifiers

Before considering the nuances of choosing these useful elements in a comprehensive car security system, let’s touch a little on the principle of operation. It is the same for any body style and generation of Lada Kalina. In addition to the well-known brushes, which remove weather artifacts from the surface of the windshield, this unit contains an electric drive protected by a fuse. These components directly affect the performance of the brushes. For example, burnout of an insert causes an inevitable stop in the functioning of the entire unit.

Also an important aspect of the effectiveness of brushes is the correct choice of them. High-quality products do not tend to creak, and also serve for a long time without breaking their working element. These factors ensure reliable cleaning of the glass surface. Here, significance is given to the force of pressing the brush to the plane and the material used in manufacturing. Well, which ones are better, everyone chooses for their car on their own.
