Terminology

Deflectors on the windows and hood are one of the car body kit options, made of plastic. They are made from plastic with a special composition and are necessary to protect the windows and hood of the car. In addition, some companies, in particular from Japan, install deflectors on their models at the factory. But there is no such device in the Lada Vesta equipment lists. Therefore, it will need to be purchased separately. Fortunately, the price is low.

An example of a hood deflector on a Lada Vesta.

The need to install deflectors on Vesta windows

Aesthetic point - installation is popular, since it is perhaps the cheapest tuning option. It is not surprising that drivers do not miss the opportunity to emphasize the image of the Lada without special expenses.

Fogging of windows - this problem haunts Vesta owners while driving in the rain. The difference in temperature outside and inside the car causes condensation to occur. If you open the window even a little, he will disappear, but no one will do this in the rain. Deflectors do not allow drops to enter Vesta’s interior.

The sector covered by the deflector is clearly shown.

Cigarette smoke – there are many smokers among Vesta drivers who notice that keeping the glass slightly open while smoking does not solve the problem, as the wind pushes the smoke back into the Vesta’s cabin. The same applies to cigarette ash thrown out the window. By purchasing a deflector, such situations can be avoided.

This device perfectly protects against cigarette smoke.

Visibility - there are often situations when driving a Vesta in rain or snow led to moisture or melting snow getting on the windows, which significantly limits visibility into the side mirrors of the Lada Vesta, and even leads to the appearance of dead zones. And when driving, windshield wipers wipe water onto the mirrors and side windows. As a result, streaks form on the glass.

The need to install deflectors on the hood of Lada Vesta

This device is necessary to protect the leading edge of the hood from flying pebbles, insects and other debris, as well as air flow. And large stones also fly away from the deflector. Of course, the plastic can crack, but buying a new deflector is much cheaper than painting the hood. In addition, they partially absorb the impact that would occur on the windshield wiper blades. Installing the deflector also leaves Vesta’s windshield noticeably cleaner.

The hood deflector on the Lada Vesta is able to protect the body even from large stones.

Disadvantages of installing a deflector on the hood of Lada Vesta

Such a step has not only advantages, which owners of the domestic model need to take into account. The fact is that debris, dust and dirt are gradually packed between the hood and the deflector, carried there by the air flow. This leads to the fact that after rain, snow or washing, moisture accumulates between the hood and the deflector, which, as a rule, does not have time to dry at all, which negatively affects the condition of the metal of the Lada Vesta. Of course, Vesta’s body warranty is noticeably longer than that of other VAZ models, but it is inferior to that of foreign cars and such an impact is extremely undesirable.

Installing an air deflector on the hood can lead to similar troubles over time.

Naturally, hood deflectors are designed to maintain a gap between the plastic and the hood, through which dirt and sand should drain with the flow of water. But often such a gap is not enough, and fallen leaves completely close it.

Benefit

In addition to its decorative function, it is believed that the Lada Vesta spoiler also improves driving properties. In particular, it improves handling and reduces fuel consumption. This is achieved by distributing air flows and reducing turbulence behind the car.

However, if you really evaluate the situation, it will become clear that all these effects, if they occur at all, are extremely insignificant, and therefore they can not be taken into account at all. Still, the spoiler is installed primarily for beauty, and therefore you don’t have to think about the technical characteristics.

Selection of deflectors for Lada Vesta

In this case, it is necessary to take into account a number of nuances.

Deflector material

Before you buy windshields, you should inspect them carefully. Products must be made of high-quality plastic, which determines the durability of the device, and low-quality products can even damage the paintwork on the Lada Vesta. Typically, the thickness of the deflectors varies from 2 to 4 mm. Visually, a high-quality product can be distinguished by the absence of nicks, roughness, chips at the corners and cracks.

Adhesive or plug-in deflectors for windows on Lada Vesta?

The question of what kind of windshields to buy for a car often comes up among motorists. Products are divided into 2 types:

  1. Adhesive deflectors;
  2. Plug-in deflectors.

Adhesive deflectors for Lada Vesta

They are the sales leaders. At the moment, wind deflectors are sold by many companies - Cobra, SIM and others. These products are glued to the edge of the door. What sets them apart is their ease of installation. But when choosing, there are a couple of main points to consider.

Deflectors for Lada Vesta, fixed with tape.

The shape of such a deflector should completely follow the edge lines of the Lada Vesta doors. Otherwise, its corners will stick out, which will ruin the appearance of the car. The quality of the adhesive tape - usually 3M double-sided tape is used for this. It is gray with a red protective film.

Insert deflectors for Lada Vesta

Such products are gradually leaving the market. Their advantage lies in aesthetics, since there is no need for overhead accessories - plug-in deflectors are mounted directly into the car window opening. However, this affects Vesta’s condition. The reason is that AvtoVAZ, as well as other manufacturers, during the design of the model did not take into account the likelihood of a plastic element appearing in the window opening, and often the thickness of the deflector is similar to that of glass. This leads to significant resistance and, as a result, rapid wear of the window regulator components.

Plug-in type window deflector.

In addition, the safety glass closing complex, which most models, including Vesta, are equipped with, prevents complete closing if there is a foreign object in the opening. When choosing a device of this type, you should pay attention to its upper edge, which is unevenly ground on low-quality products. During installation, the Vesta window seal may be damaged.

Types

There are currently 2 types of spoilers for Lada Vesta on the market:

Lip is short for sticky and is so named because of the method of fixation. These elements are attached with double-sided tape or sealant, and they adhere to the entire surface of the trunk lid. They complement the appearance of the sedan, but do not stand out too clearly.

Support ones are a classic version of spoilers. It does not rest against the metal with its entire area, but only with side supports, due to which it rises above the trunk lid. Often similar components are installed on sports versions. Unlike the previous type, it noticeably changes the appearance of the car.

Installation of window deflectors on Lada Vesta

Installation is extremely simple. When purchasing adhesive windshields, you need to prepare the surface by cleaning it from dirt and dust, and also wiping it with anti-silicone (degreasing procedure). Then you need to carefully and evenly glue the plastic element. It is worth remembering that in the first couple of minutes it can still be peeled off and adjusted if initially it was not possible to do everything smoothly.

Cleaning and degreasing the door metal before starting work is mandatory.

Installation of the insert product is also simple. You just need to open the window and insert the deflector into the opening without damaging the paintwork and seal.

The presented video uses the KIA Rio as an example to show the installation process, which can be completely repeated for Vesta:

What problems are encountered when installing windshields on Vesta?

Sometimes drivers create problems for themselves when installing deflectors. When installing, it is important not to make mistakes:

  1. Installation is carried out in a dry place. This is especially true for the weather in the autumn, winter and spring seasons. High humidity and air temperature below 10 °C are unsuitable conditions for high-quality installation.
  2. In addition to degreasing, the surface to be glued needs to be warmed up. A hairdryer is suitable for this. The adhesive tape will also stick to an unheated door or hood, but for a few days. Heating will help the seal become tighter and the deflector will last longer.

How to remove the deflector from a Lada Vesta car

To remove the adhesive windshield from the car you will need a hair dryer, fishing line or a utility knife. Sequencing:

Installation of a hood deflector on Lada Vesta

Previously, to install such a device, it was necessary to drill the hood, followed by installation with bolts or self-tapping screws.

Some continue to use the old-fashioned method.

But modern products are equipped with special clamps, so you can avoid drilling holes in the Vesta hood. And installation is extremely simple - just fix the element on the hood and the clips will hold it securely.

This type of fastener is used by modern companies.

There are a lot of videos on the Internet showing the installation of hood deflectors on cars. In the presented video, the device is installed on Aveo, but the operating algorithm in the case of Vesta is similar:
