Lada Kalina trapezium wipers: do-it-yourself repair, repair kit, replacement

Beginning of work

To install a windshield wiper relay with an adjustable pause with your own hands, you must first dismantle the wipers. Their design may vary significantly depending on the vehicle model. It is also worth noting that the brushes can be front or rear. However, regardless of their type, the relay is located on the vehicle glass.

If there is no wiring diagram for the wipers, you can find the installation location of the control unit yourself. To do this, you need to inspect the base of the brushes. Most often, in foreign and domestic cars, this element is screwed to the car body.

Most often, the relay is located near the hood release handle. When the part is found, it is dismantled. To do this you need to prepare a simple screwdriver. The old relay is removed very carefully. You must try not to scratch the body or damage other elements of the system. You also need to remove the wiper column.

Let's sum it up

The procedure for installing more comfortable seats is quite acceptable. This is a good opportunity for every car owner to make their vehicle more comfortable, beautiful and enjoyable to use. But for this you need to find smart products and a good craftsman. Seats on disassembly do not always inspire confidence. Many of them are smoked, some have broken plastic adjustment knobs, frayed fabrics or altered shapes. Therefore, you should buy seats carefully, checking all the factors. It is better to agree with the seller that you will return the seat if it turns out to be of poor quality.

When is it necessary to replace windshield wipers in Kalina?

Over time, owners of practical Lada Kalinas notice the appearance of brush marks on the surface of the windshield. Such “artifacts” create an obstacle to good visibility. In this situation, the indicated components will need to be replaced, and the trapezoid will likely need to be replaced

Many experienced owners advise purchasing frameless brushes, which, in their opinion, are able to “bravely” withstand temperature changes and can demonstrate a relatively longer service life of approximately 1.5 million cycles

Before replacing, you should understand the required size of the products. For Lada Kalina, you should purchase a driver's side brush with a length of 600 mm, and for the glass area opposite the passenger - 400 mm. For stern glass, the brush has a standard parameter of 360 mm. This wiper needs to be replaced much less frequently, since the intensity of its work is significantly lower compared to the front components.

Do-it-yourself troubleshooting

When the drive works when the wipers are turned on, but the wipers do not move, repairing the trapezoid in such a situation will come down to replacing the bushings.

To do this, you need to remove the trapezoid, which is located under the plastic decorative trim under the windshield. Windshield wiper repairs are carried out in the following order:

If you do not remove the trapezoid, then when installing the bushings you can bend the hinges, which will lead to improper operation of the wipers. Therefore, it is better to remove the entire trapezoid and replace it not with weight, but with emphasis.

The destroyed bushing is immediately visible. It can be simply removed using wire cutters. To insert a new one, it and the locking ring must be steamed in hot water, otherwise it will not be possible to put it all on the hinge. Before putting on the locking ring, the bushing should be treated with lubricant (for example, lithol). All disassembly and assembly work takes a maximum of 40 minutes.

But if the central bushing “flies”, then most likely the entire windshield wiper mechanism will have to be replaced. Replacing a windshield wiper trapezoid is an even simpler task than the process of removing and installing new bushings. All work is carried out according to the algorithm described above.

Naturally, a complete replacement of the windshield wiper trapezoid will cost more than repairing the windshield wiper. But it will be more reliable. New ones are almost guaranteed to last longer than refurbished ones. Although some Lada owners claim that a rebuilt and repaired Kalina wiper trapezoid can easily last two years. Well, you should always base it on whether you are willing to spend time or money.

Step-by-step instructions for dismantling

Before starting work, we prepare the necessary tools. To remove the seats we will need:

• flat and Phillips screwdrivers;
• key to 10;
• pliers;
• repair kit (depending on the situation).

The procedure is as follows:

1. Unfasten the rear seat upholstery buttons on the trunk side.
2. Pull back the loop and remove the latch near the headrest.

   To get to the latch, you need to pull the loop near the headrest

3. We pull out the hooks on the back from the metal brackets that are on the body.

   Remove the hooks that hold the seats to the body

4. The armrest mounting frame is fixed with three screws; we unscrew them for further dismantling.
5. To remove the armrest itself, use a 10mm wrench and unscrew the nuts.

   Use a 10mm wrench to remove the armrest fastening nut.

6. The mounting pad is secured with two latches; we press them out with a flat-head screwdriver.

   To remove the mounting pad, press the two latches

7. Unscrew the fastening bolt and pull out the seat cushion lock.

   After unscrewing the mounting bolt, the lock can be easily removed

Rear wiper size Kalina station wagon

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 driver's 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.

Windshield wiper blades, like any parts, gradually become faulty. At first glance, this is a simple, inconspicuous detail, but it performs an important function. Purchasing a product requires certain knowledge about the operation, characteristics, and models. The quality of visibility of the road lane depends on this choice when it is raining, snowing, or dirt flies out from under the cars ahead.

The wipers stopped working: the most common reasons

Over time, every car owner is faced with the fact that the wipers suddenly stop functioning. Problems that arise reveal themselves either by a complete stop or by the appearance of extraneous sounds during operation (for example, creaking).

The mechanical part of the windshield wiper is usually very reliable. Therefore, usually wipers may not work for the following reasons:

1. Excessive wear and tear on moving parts of the system or lack of lubrication in required areas. In order for the windshield wiper mechanism to work properly and not fail for unknown reasons, inspection and maintenance are required, albeit not too often.
2. Improper use of wipers. As an example, in the winter season, before turning them on, you need to unfasten them from the glass (ideally, melt the ice on them). Failure to do this may result in fuse, motor, or drive rod failure during startup.

As a rule, the cause of windshield wiper failure is often a malfunction of the electrical part of the device:

• The hum of the motor is not heard, the wipers do not work (they do not move in any of the operating modes). In this case, the cause may be a malfunction of the following elements: wiring, connectors, switches or gear motor.
• The wipers work, but very slowly. Most likely, the reason is also in the gear motor. The drive mechanisms may have become oxidized and rusted. Usually they need to be cleaned and lubricated or checked for correct assembly of the mechanism.
• When the intermittent mode is on, the windshield wipers operate continuously. The reason is most likely a broken relay, which will have to be replaced since it is not repairable. If the wipers are working and the sound of the motor is heard, you can also diagnose a malfunction of the breaker relay.
• You can hear the engine running, but the wipers don't move. In this case, the reason is most likely a break in the rod or contact elements.
• The windshield wiper arm does not work. The cause of the malfunction may be oxidation or damage to the contact elements of the traction rod.
• The windshield wipers do not work correctly - they do not move to their original positions. The cause of the breakdown in this case may be improper installation, problems in the contact group of the gear motor, wear or shearing of the splines on the brush drives.
• The wipers do not work when the washer fluid is applied to the windows. The cause may be a broken steering column switch or defective wiring and electrical connections.

Reasons for mechanical windshield wiper failure include:

• Self-unscrewing (full or partial) of the nut connecting the crank to the gear axle. Such a defect is easy to determine when the wipers are on, since the gear motor is working, but the brushes do not move.
• The nut securing the wiper arm is loose or its thread has been stripped. The reason may be incorrect installation of the leash in the initial position. Avoiding this is quite simple - you need to tighten the nuts with the required torque, and before final tightening you need to put the windshield wipers in the desired position.
• The wipers do not clean the glass due to a poor fit. The simplest reason is wear of the brushes themselves. The brushes simply need to be replaced. The second most common reason is poor adherence of the brushes to the glass due to mechanical interference. An option to eliminate it is to clean the wiper of foreign objects that interfere with normal pressure. But if none are found, then it is necessary to inspect the wiper mechanism, disassemble it, find and replace parts with a lot of wear.

From the above it follows that the reason that the wipers do not work can be either a malfunction of the electric motor or wiring, or a failure of the mechanical component of the vehicle unit in question. The trapezoid, the mechanism for driving and moving the wipers, is very often prone to breakdowns. Read further in the article for what to do when your windshield wiper breaks or does not work.

The simplest options - almost without modifications

There are legends on the Internet that many seat models fit the VAZ 2110 without any modifications at all. But in fact, without any special modifications, you can only install Recaro from old Opel. All other options will have to be redone and digested. There are also arguments that this is not a safe process at all and could lead to disaster. Let's draw a definite line under all that has been said and give specific recommendations so that nothing bad happens:

• you will still have to weld the slides on the seats, but you don’t have to do it yourself, it’s better to order this work from a good welder, maybe not even a car mechanic;
• after welding, no further alterations are needed if you have chosen the seats correctly, that is, you have not bought too wide or high seat options because of beauty and cheapness;
• it is more difficult to change the rear sofa due to its rather specific size, but there are model options on the market with identical widths; you just need to look for offers at a disassembly site;
• you can keep all the functions of the seats from the foreign car - height adjustment, lumbar support adjustment, electrical adjustments (but they will have to be connected separately from the wiring);
• The conversion is not only possible, it is really worth it, since AvtoVAZ does not install the best seats, with the only exceptions being Vesta and X-RAY.

For Lada Granta, Kalina, Priora

The resistor shown in the photo is responsible for the number of strokes. Our task is to replace (using a soldering iron) it with a resistor with lower resistance. To get two sweeps of the wipers after washing the windshield, it is enough to solder a resistor with a resistance of 47 to 68 kOhm (0.25 W). To make three swings - from 70 kOhm. The result of the modernization on video:

It is worth noting that on sale you can find a wiper relay with advanced capabilities:

• There is a pause adjustment, that is, you can set any time between sweeps of the wipers;
• Three strokes after the washer, instead of four (there is no problem with the wipers squeaking on the glass);
• After the washer, the first stroke is delayed.

However, replacing a resistor in a relay yourself will cost only 5 rubles, and a functional relay will be 70-100 times more expensive.

Tips for motorists

Although the Lada Granta belongs to the latest generation of passenger cars produced by the VAZ automobile plant, it is equipped with the cheapest rubber wiper blades. Therefore, the first problems that the owners of these cars encounter is the ear-piercing sound that the wipers make when moving across the windshield, when they are turned on together with the washer.

This happens due to the fact that the rubber bands of the brushes harden (especially in cold weather) and begin to move along the dry glass before the “anti-freeze” or water begins to flow onto it. This problem can be eliminated by installing, instead of the standard Bosch ECO economy class brushes, measuring 600 and 400 millimeters, more expensive Champion Aerovantage or Bosch Aero Twin brushes. Then the interior of the Lada Granta (VAZ-2190) will become much quieter when the windshield wiper is operating. Yes, and you need to change the brushes at least once a year, before the start of the autumn operation of the car.

The second problem that owners of Lada Granta cars face is the incorrect installation of the wiper arms, as a result of which, when they are turned on, the left brush hits the left pillar of the car, and the right one, when the windshield wiper is turned off, slightly does not reach the parking spot and when the wipers are turned on at first goes down and only then goes up. This malfunction can be eliminated by removing the wiper arms and then reinstalling them by turning them at a slight angle counterclockwise.

If the wipers do not turn on in any of the operating modes, then troubleshooting begins by checking fuse F4 (20A). You can find it by opening the cover of the mounting block, which is located in the front panel, to the left of the steering column. If this fuse has not blown, then, in the same place, you will need to check the functionality of relay K6 (left row, top large), through which power is supplied to the wiper gear motor. We check the relay by replacing it with the same one, but known to be good. In addition, a mechanical malfunction is also possible due to the unscrewing of the nut on the output shaft of the gearbox, with which the trapezoid drive crank is secured.

If the wipers refuse to work in only one intermittent mode, then when troubleshooting, we can assume that the microcircuit located inside the K6 relay, with the help of which the windshield wiper blades pause their operation, has failed. And the refusal of the wipers to work at first or second speed may be due to the freezing of one of the three commutator brushes of the electric motor of the gearmotor.

Each of us faces problems while operating a car. It's always unpleasant. However, sometimes these problems can be solved on your own.

When do you need to change wipers on Kalina?

It often happens that the wiper drive system works, but marks remain on the windshield that interfere with normal visibility. In this case, the wipers need to be replaced. Previously, domestic cars were equipped with brushes, into the frame of which a rubber part was inserted, which cleaned the glass. But recently frameless brushes have been used.

They work better, and their resistance to different weather conditions is higher. Although frame brushes are cheaper, frameless brushes will last longer. They can operate efficiently from 1 to 1.5 million cycles.

Refurbishment or not

Some may consider this a refurbishment, but I think not. I installed the seats on the Grant from a foreign car in the standard places. Skids without welding, also with 4 attachment points. Therefore, the reliability and installation method have not changed. And I doubt that it will be noticeable.

I ordered covers for the front seats and armrest.

It is secured with 3 screws. You need to unscrew them and install the armrest on them.

The armrest mounts fit well, everything fit together. Does the armrest interfere with the handbrake? If you fold it back, you can freely grab the handle with your hand. If you lower it, then using the handbrake is not so convenient. The height of the armrest turned out to be slightly higher than the gearshift knob.

Seats from which foreign cars can be viewed for the Tens?

Fits almost all seats from cars of similar size. This could be a B or C class car, which is famous for its comfort. Thanks to the abundance of disassemblies, buying used chairs will not be a problem. All that remains is to choose the chair model directly. For such a selection, it is worth focusing on already successfully completed projects, which car owners are happy to brag about in in-flight magazines. Here are just some popular examples:

1. BMW E60. The seats in these models of Bavarian cars were mostly leather, and also equipped with an electric drive and other additions that the car owner would obviously like.
2. Hyundai i40 or Hyundai i30. The seats are very comfortable and well thought out, and the ones from the i30 are preferable, as they leave more space in the cabin. The appearance is good and the side supports also work very well.
3. Skoda Octavia A5. The seats are very comfortable and compact, there are the necessary adjustments, and well-defined lumbar support. The quality of the upholstery in this model is also pleasing, so you will definitely be satisfied with these chairs.
4. Ford Focus. The alterations will be quite complex, but nevertheless, you will get excellent results. Especially if you can find seats from more expensive trim levels of this car, they are very comfortable and beautiful.
5. Recaro. Many sports style lovers would like to see Recaro seats in their car. The easiest way is to find Opel proposals, but there are also solutions from other models; altering them will not be difficult even with your own hands.

Possible causes of the malfunction and ways to eliminate them

In practice, the most common malfunction that potassium dispensers encounter is intermittent operation of the purifiers. The repair in this case comes down to replacing the system fuse, which is located in the mounting block on the left under the steering wheel. Also, the reason may be the inoperability of the relay located there - if it fails, it needs to be replaced (video author - Andrey Nikitkin).

If the wipers on Kalina do not work at all, it is necessary to diagnose the electric motor. Wiring is supplied to the motor, so first you need to diagnose the “ground” terminal, it is located next to the adsorber. If necessary, turn it off and thoroughly clean the contact area. If the performance of the motor cannot be restored, you will need to disassemble the system and replace this element. If after replacing the brushes still do not work, you need to check the steering column switch - perhaps the reason lies there.

If all these steps do not produce results, you need to check the gearbox and trapezoid; most likely, you will have to change one of these components. If the brushes function normally, but water does not flow onto the glass, and the washer reservoir is full, you need to check the functionality of the reservoir motor.

Sorry, there are no surveys available at this time.

Price issue

The cost of brushes will vary depending on the store you buy them from, as well as their manufacturer. The cheapest, frame version from the manufacturer Bosch will cost about 900 rubles, from Denso - 1200 rubles. As for frameless devices, the minimum price for a set from Bosch or SWF is 1,500 rubles, from the manufacturer TRICO Neoform - about 1,900 rubles.

How to choose covers to fit your seat size

On the Internet you can find many tables indicating which cases are suitable for which model. The disadvantage of these tables is the partial listing of cars, because it will not be possible to include all the cars. Actually this is not necessary. It is enough to know the dimensions and shape of the seat to choose the size of the covers.

There are only two sizes: S and M. S is small, and M is standard. They differ in size and shape.

Size S is designed for compact seats with a more sloping backrest at the top (these are found on Kalina, Daewoo Nexia, Renault Clio) in A and B class cars.

• back - 60/44/52 cm (A/B/C)
• seat - 52/48 cm (D/E)

Sample list of cars with S size seats*

*The list is provided for informational purposes only and is not complete.

In the Autopro catalog, size S is available in two series:

• Matrix (eco leather, velor);
• Gobelin (jacquard).

The M size is designed to fit regular sized seats with a backrest without much tapering at the top. Ford Focus, Land Rover Explorer, BMW X5, AUDI 80 - all these are cars with M size seats.

• back - 64/46/56 cm (A/B/C)
• seat - 56/48 cm (D/E)

Sample list of vehicles with M-size seats*

*The list is provided for informational purposes only and is not complete.

Separately, it is worth highlighting the “St. John's wort” covers. They belong to size M despite the letter S in the name, but are also equipped with side lacing, which makes them, in principle, universal. Traditionally, they are positioned as covers for SUVs, jeeps and crossovers, but nothing prevents you from putting them on the seat of a Lada Granta, Kio Rio, Renault Megan or Ford Mondeo.

Sometimes some offer car covers in size M for compact seats. Such covers, due to the tightening, also “fit well”, but at the top of the seats there may be “ears” of narrowing of the seat back.

As a result, there are only two parameters that need to be taken into account when purchasing protective coverings: the dimensions of the car seat and its shape.

Lada Kalina Hatchback -=First car=- › Logbook › The wipers do not work. Problem with gear motor

Hello everyone! I haven’t visited Drive2 for a very long time. I confess, it’s my fault (Several changes have been made to the machine in a few months =) I will write about everything in more detail in separate blog articles.

So, a serious problem suddenly overtook me. I was driving along the highway, it was raining, I turn on the wipers, they do one cycle and freeze forever... With an astonished look, I try to revive the wipers, but they are silent. I pull over to the side of the road, the first thing I do is check the transmission - everything is ok. I open the hood, visually the rack and the motor are in perfect order... thoughtfully tugging at the contacts near the engine, I took out a cloth, wiped the glass and drove quietly to my destination. I’ll tell you honestly, friends, driving in the rain with non-working windshield wipers is an extreme thing))) God forbid, someone should experience this for themselves.

Old windshield wiper motor

When I arrived home, the first thing I did was contact an electrician. He took the electric motor, simply disassembled it, reassembled it and, connecting it to power, saw that it was alive. I happily put it in its rightful place and went about my business. The next day it rains again. I turn on the wipers, they work very slowly, do 2 cycles and die again. This time I already knew roughly what the problem was, so I didn’t stop, and having already practiced extreme driving without wipers in the rain, I went to an electrician. He was again “glad” to see me with a gear motor in my hands. He took it apart again, replaced all the brushes, cleaned the contacts and the engine came to life again. When the electrician returned this engine to me, he said the following phrase: “If it dies again, it’s better to buy a new one.” Well, the man looked at nothing - after 2 weeks the motor died again. It was decided to replace this piece of iron.

New gear motor, which, unfortunately, did not fit.

I arrive at the local Phaeton auto parts store. I’m buying a gear motor for Kalina for 1,900 rubles, the toad, of course, is choking, but there’s nothing to do, you can’t drive like that in the rain. At the delivery of goods they give you a motor without a box, documents and even with a small scratch on the lid. When I asked where the equipment was, the manager replied that the supplier brought them in this form and offered a bag. D When I arrive home, the first thing I do is run to change the motor. I remove the rack, remove the motor, install a new one, connect it to the connectors, and simultaneously check its functionality. I had just started to screw the engine to the mounts when I decided to check whether the rack would fit the new engine, since it differs slightly in size from the factory one. I connect the rail and see that it does not fit the slots at all. There were ideas on how to make it fit, but reason prevailed over flights of fancy and I decided to change the gear motor in the store. 15 minutes later I’m already approaching the store’s checkout counter. As soon as the seller saw me, he asked: “Well, didn’t it fit?” I really wanted to tell him a lot about the low-quality spare parts, but I only said a modest: “Yes, can I replace it?” The store manager said that my case is not the first and that gear motors come from the factory with two types of splines - large and small. I came across just a small one, but they didn’t have a large one in stock, so I wrote a statement and my money was returned.

A box with a new gear motor =) You can immediately see that this is the original.

I drove home upset, but on the way I noticed a small store called “Samara”. I go there, there is a young girl at the checkout who happily helped me choose the right gear motor. Moreover, I got it in a branded box, with quality control marks, a guarantee and instructions for connecting, and even for 1,700 rubles. I was extremely happy when the motor fit without any problems. This is how, for relatively little money and in 3 hours of total time, I got rid of the problem with non-working wipers.

Comparison of two motors - on the right is the factory one, on the left is the new Samara one.

PS, I saw many topics on the forums with the problem of the wipers not returning to their original position. In fact, the solution is very simple - you need to adjust the splines connecting the rack and the gearmotor. You need to let the motor rotate its axis a full cycle and then insert the rack in the desired position and that’s it, the problem will be solved.

Removing and disassembling the windshield wiper motor

All the important parts of the rear windshield wiper are located under the trim. To remove it, I had to tinker, since it was attached to special holders, which are not so easy to remove without special tools. Fortunately, I had a nail puller at hand and it was perfect for removing these fasteners.

After unscrewing the rear wiper mount, I unscrewed the mount of the motor itself. I disconnected it from the block and took it home for inspection.

There appears to be no damage. Then he unscrewed the mount of the motor housing and pulled the structure out of it. The mechanism itself is covered in lubricant; there was plenty of it.

I looked at the gears, they were intact. Next, I examined the wires attached to the microcircuit. They had a raid. I thought this was probably the reason and decided to move them a little (in a good way, it would be better to resolder them), the “dust” flew off.

That’s it, there’s nothing more to look at, I put the mechanism back together and went to connect the motor to the wiring block to see if it works or not.

I turn on the ignition and rear window wiper. That's it, the rear wiper is working. Hooray! I screwed everything into place and went for inspection.

Are the rods the wiper arms or the leash?

Do I hit the brushes on the counter? ¶

Well then everything is clear.

It’s just that before replacing, you should have noticed the position of the gearbox shaft on the trapezoid body, you didn’t do that, and that’s why this shit happened now ¶

It often happens that the wiper drive system works, but marks remain on the windshield that interfere with normal visibility. In this case, the wipers need to be replaced. Previously, domestic cars were equipped with brushes, into the frame of which a rubber part was inserted, which cleaned the glass. But recently frameless brushes have been used.

They work better, and their resistance to different weather conditions is higher. Although frame brushes are cheaper, frameless brushes will last longer. They can operate efficiently from 1 to 1.5 million cycles.

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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
