Installing thresholds on lada granta

Lada Granta was developed on the basis of the previous model Lada Kalina; the first front-wheel drive sedan entered the market in 2011. The budget car attracted attention with its reliable chassis assembly, efficient engines and updated body. The standard plastic protection for the thresholds of the Lada Granta was made of a durable polymer composition.

In 2022, a planned modernization of the family took place. The extended series included hatchback and station wagon models; after restyling, the equipment was called LADA Granta FL (facelift).

Types of door sills for Grants

The factory lining of the Grant's thresholds is made of plastic; the linings protect the interior of the cabin from moisture and do not allow the floor covering to quickly get dirty. For the power threshold, as a sidewall element, the plastic lining serves as additional protection against mechanical damage and reduces the rate of corrosion propagation. The average service life of standard parts is 1.5-2 years. In addition to a short service life, factory linings do not provide the car with individuality. Drivers prefer to tune the Lada Granta to their liking. Common types of cladding:

Plastic longitudinal linings.
Plastic or metal body kits.
High strength steel linings.
Decorative overlays made to order.

Metal door sills or an aluminum profile, in addition to their decorative function, increase the overall rigidity of the body by up to 12% and are considered as additional strength elements. The cladding can be painted or chromed. They are distinguished by a long service life, at least 5 years, and protect the bottom from corrosion when installed correctly.

Plastic body kits and trim panels have affordable prices and come in a variety of shapes. The Fast and the Furious pads are made of ABS plastic and are most popular among Granta owners. The parts are manufactured strictly to the dimensions of the Lada body, have a long service life of up to 3 years, and have an original shape. The covers are easy to install yourself. In case of a mechanical shock of medium strength, if there is no rupture of the paintwork, the part can be easily straightened with improvised means.

Plastic panels ensure the cleanliness of the interior; they are installed on the standard threshold using screws or using glue. The panels prevent the anti-gravel from quickly crumbling and ensure the aesthetics of the interior.

Stickers

Protective door sill stickers for Lada Granta are an affordable alternative to plastic covers. The sticker covers a large surface area, is highly durable, and is available in different color options. The set includes 6 stickers, the cost of the set is from 400 rubles. Drivers choose stickers instead of armor film on plastic panels.

The protective sticker is made of vinyl, propylene, and consists of a base layer that determines the overall color of the coating:

chrome effect;
silver;
black metal.

The outer decorative layer imitates carbon, plastic, textiles, leather.

Replacing thresholds for Lada Granta (VAZ Granta)

Stylish thresholds are the missing highlight that can decorate the exterior of your favorite “iron horse”. If you don’t want to make global changes, then tuning the thresholds is an excellent solution.

In addition to protecting the body from paint chips and contamination, the sills improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the car, which is important

To create a greater effect, you should pay attention to the complete tuning kit, which includes the installation of a front bumper, rear bumper and various trims

Each element is made of durable material, is reliable and wear-resistant

Installing such an important detail will allow you to add personality traits to your familiar image.

Make your car bright and special thanks to stylish door sills for the Lada Granta.

Remember that you can always improve the appearance of your car and you don’t have to turn to specialists for everything. Today we will talk about installing thresholds on the Lada Granta.

In rainy weather, this is a nuisance: you get into the car and the carpet turns into a dirty rag, and moisture also accumulates. The adverse effects of water should always be avoided. I went to the market and bought thresholds from Kalina.

Types of door sills for Grants

Plastic longitudinal linings.
Plastic or metal body kits.
High strength steel linings.
Decorative overlays made to order.

Advantages and disadvantages

Door sill covers for Lada Granta for external and internal surfaces are designed to protect the body. The advantages of decorative elements include:

Convenience of passengers and driver when boarding the cabin. The panel tightly covers the outer part of the floor upholstery, the carpet does not bend, and it is impossible to trip.
The design allows you to hide the external wiring of the car if the electrical cables run along the bottom.
The overhead element prevents water from flowing into the interior. This extends the overall life of the body by 25-30%.
The outer coating prevents the appearance of chips on the paintwork from flying gravel, taking on mechanical shocks.
Illuminated covers allow you to comfortably get into the car at night.
The body kit is installed as a tuning element.

Disadvantages should also be highlighted.

Low body kits certainly give the Lada Granta the appearance of a modern, powerful sports car, but at the same time the ground clearance is significantly reduced. In daily use, such tuning will only bring problems. The body kit will interfere with driving to the edges, and, as a result, break or bend.

Choosing trims for the Lada Granta liftback and sedan is necessary taking into account the operating mode of the car and the material of the fairings. Plastic linings of small thickness become unusable after 1 year, wear out or crack.

Incorrect installation of the part on the screws or bolts may not protect the body from corrosion, but may contribute to the rapid flow of water under the carpet.

Before installing the internal and external fairings on the threshold, it is necessary to carry out anti-corrosion treatment.

Vertical seal RKI 19 and Grant thresholds

Review of lower door seals on Grant thresholds and do-it-yourself installation of vertical RKI19...

Welcome, Renault Logan car enthusiast to the blog AAuhadullin.ru!

Today we will install the self-adhesive seal RKI 19 for Chevrolet Niva and Kalina family cars. A product is manufactured to order from JSC SM-AvtoVAZ to seal the gap between the front and rear doors.

The kit with seals in the package contains a diagram and instructions for installation on the car.

But seals are also available for the bottom of doors. For example, a set of threshold seals "Grant", Joint Stock Company "Uralelastotekhnika", Yekaterinburg. The set consists of 4 seals for 4 doors.

Installation diagram for sill seal Lada Granta and Kalina

We will also try to install sill seals in the future operation of the car. Most likely, to install it on a LoganMachine you will have to drill holes in the doors for the clips of the seals themselves.

Grant's car has these holes drilled at the factory. You just need to remove the rubber plugs from the holes for the clips and install them in their place.

The door sill seals on Grant's car have color markings for their correct installation. For example, a red mark for right doors and yellow for left ones. I tried it on the back door of a Logan Car, all sizes fit perfectly, so you can use it if you wish.

I think you don’t have to drill the door, you just need to remove the clips and install a self-adhesive sill seal with double-sided tape.

Let's return to the RKI 19 seal. The product comes with installation instructions, where everything is written in detail step by step. The seals also have color dots - yellow on the left side and red on the right.

According to the instructions, work with the sealant is carried out in a room at least 15 degrees to ensure a reliable connection. In my case, now, it’s hot summer, the metal is hot, it’s the best time to stick the seals on. I was specially waiting for warm sunny days for installation; I’ve been carrying the kit in the trunk since winter. Back then, on cold days, this idea appeared in my head.

Before work, degrease the surface with a special liquid or inexpensive cologne. But you can also wipe it with alcohol or vodka, the main thing is to prepare the front of the work.

Apply degreaser to a clean rag and wipe the end of the door, starting from the top.

Everything is clearly visible in the video, watch:

We thoroughly wipe the end of the door and get to work.

The instructions say that it is recommended to use tweezers to remove the top protective film. I use scissors for work, which are in the tool bag of the motorist's kit.

We remove the outer film at the very beginning, hooking it with the end of the scissors, then you can remove it with your fingers. The seal is hooked onto the edge of the door on top; when sticking it, make sure it clings well and does not jump out.

We remove the protective tape little by little, while simultaneously pressing the seal to the edge of the door end. It's better not to remove the film all at once. Pressing firmly with your hand, we gradually move from the top edge down.

You must work efficiently and wisely, otherwise the seal will not hold.

Don’t forget about the end of the door, where the protrusion of the rubber insulation catches with its hook.

If you are very tired, you can take a smoke break for about five minutes and then continue pasting the opening...

At the end of the door we see that a piece of rubber remains; we need to cut it off at an angle with scissors. Then we check with our hands along the entire length, perhaps the elastic was not pressed enough, for example, at a bend.

After installation, we check the operation again. The insulation is installed evenly and the gap between the doors is completely closed, which is what needed to be done. The result was protection from dust in summer and from cold in winter. And from the outside it looks elegant, as if it emphasizes the car door opening with a bold line.

This RKI 19 kit can be found at the car market and in stores selling spare parts for Lada cars. If you don’t find it, order it from a familiar spare parts seller.

The installation on the other side is similar, I won’t show it, I don’t have enough free time, but I think I showed everything on video and explained it clearly.

This concludes editing the article. Goodbye.

Karina: “It’s very easy to attach – the whole job took me no more than five minutes. Easy to peel off the paper, just stick it on and you're done."	Timur: “The rubber itself doesn’t stick - it’s peeling off from different sides, it looks terrible. I just wasted my money."
Sergey: “They look very stylish - for that kind of money it’s a great option to make the car more fashionable.”	Maria: “It only looks beautiful for the first week. Then I washed the car at the car wash, and the rear sill just came off.”
Stanislav: “I am satisfied - the main thing is that the enamel itself does not suffer, because over time it loses its appearance. And this problem is more difficult to solve than just gluing the thresholds right away.”	Maxim: “It’s not clear to me what the point of this sticker is. I ordered it for a Lada Niva - it’s kind of small, if only for the entire threshold, I understand.”
Daria: “Good material, it has practically not lost its appearance over several years. I bought stickers a long time ago, but they still serve.”	Denis: “When I bought it, there were bright, black stripes. They looked great. Two months later they turned into gray, dirty rapids. I took it off and threw it away."
Roman: “It’s good that the coating of the machine itself does not suffer. The relief perfectly absorbs dirt, and it does not reach the interior if you wipe your feet on the threshold.”	Igor: “I accidentally attached one sticker incorrectly - lower than necessary. I took it off to fix it, but the glue no longer held at all.”

Conclusion

Door sill stickers help preserve the appearance of the car; they are simply glued to the surface and do not require any additional tools for installation. It is important to carefully consider where to attach the sticker, since it will not stick again.

Well done. A couple of questions: are there already holes in the thresholds or did you drill them? And the second question: are the linings factory or anonymous craftsmen?

the holes are standard, in the front where the fender even the standard clip for the self-tapping screw was on top, the rest had to be installed new ones, the trims from the officials cost 600 rubles, but at the car market they were 400, I got them there, I don’t know whether they were standard or not, but the clips for the screws at the car market were 50 They cost rubles apiece, and the dealer had 10 rubles, so first I drove through everything, looked at the price tags, and then bought them.

Well done. A couple of questions: are there already holes in the thresholds or did you drill them? And the second question: are the linings factory or anonymous craftsmen?

I had these installed at the factory.

I went into the salon, some have them, some don’t. .

It depends on the configuration. I installed them myself the other day, but it took me an hour.

yes, that’s understandable, I had a pre-luxury set with casting for 15... there’s nothing in it except Conder, but the steering rack was already at 3 turns, when I changed it after 110,000, I had to pay 8600 for it and 2000 for the work

Well, I don’t know if they are needed, somehow they don’t fit

I'm tired of vacuuming up sand after passengers. .it will be cleaner

Every motorist has had to deal with an unpleasant situation - significant contamination of the interior. The penetration of dust and dirt compounds onto decorative carpet upholstery is not so dangerous, because cleaning can be done using a regular car vacuum cleaner. But, nevertheless, now there are special sill covers, as well as internal linings that will help make your task easier.

What to do if moisture penetrates into the interior and provokes the occurrence of corrosion spots? To do this, there is an excellent and relatively inexpensive option for solving this problem - using door sills. Self-installation of linings directly on the Lada Granta sills takes no more than an hour and a half.

Dent Repair

Dents on decorative plastic overlays are corrected if there is no crack in the product. When the plastic ruptures after an impact, the lining is replaced with a new one. Fast and Furious spare parts are quite difficult to crush, the body kits can withstand significant side impacts, and they are repairable. Metal thresholds, as part of the sidewall, are straightened in ways that depend on the depth of the dent and damage to the paintwork. Repair options:

Extracting a metal dent with a reverse hammer.
Repair without welding using a vacuum suction cup.
Correcting dents using hooks using the PDR method without painting.

The method without welding is used for metal linings and plastic elements, if the car enamel layer is not damaged. The most common option is using a reverse hammer, if the standard metal element is significantly deformed, and the vacuum suction cup method, if there is no damage to the paintwork. After removing the dent, it is recommended to additionally install protective panels.

How to install standard accessories in Grant?

For long-term service of the element, its high-quality installation must be ensured. First, purchase linings that match the modification of your Lada Granta. You can alternatively use accessories designed for Kalina, which have identical dimensions.

It is not forbidden to look at modern products, but they must meet regulated requirements in terms of their own aspects.

Installation of overlays is carried out according to the following algorithm:

We dismantle the protective rubber seal located above the threshold of the LADA Granta. Next, remove the plastic insert that acts as a protective cover. Please note that there is no rust. If corrosion begins to appear, we treat the area with a special protective compound. We integrate the clamps into the holes provided by the factory and return the rubber seal to its original position, and also correct the carpeting. The new element is applied in accordance with the correct location

Plastic accessories require mounting holes, which the owner must make with his own hands. We fix the cover using self-tapping screws.

Sometimes the internal protection plate may be missing, and the clips may already “sit” in their seats. It is recommended here that before purchasing the linings, you examine all the elements located under the rubber seal in the LADA Granta car.

If “original” clips are not available, then we purchase them along with accessories.

Many inexperienced owners of the Lada Granta Liftback (Sedan) claim that the door sills from the Lada Kalina are compatible with the Granta. This is partly true, if you don’t measure it down to the millimeter.

In fact, after installing the plastic thresholds from Kalina, an overlap of a couple of centimeters is formed. The value is not critical, for many it is completely unnoticeable, but complete compatibility should not be asserted.

How to install the overlay - instructions

Installing aluminum or plastic panels that are designed for the outer part of the threshold is quite simple. The element itself is a plate that is attached to the outer element. Installation of fairings on the internal sill of the Lada Granta proceeds in the following steps:

The rubber seal, which is located above the internal threshold, is removed.
The mounting brackets are removed.
The plastic insert, which acts as a protective cover, is dismantled.
Find the standard holes in the threshold, insert the clamps (bushings).
Reinstall the rubber seal and make sure that the carpet does not bend.
Attach the cover, check the alignment of the places for the bolts or screws.
Screw the cover onto the screws or screws. The front fairings must be additionally secured with a standard screw.

In some Lada Granta models, the manufacturer does not install an internal protection plate, but there are already clips in the fixation areas. Before purchasing parts, you need to check the specific equipment of your car.

As an alternative, you can use accessories for the Lada Kalina, which are of suitable sizes and can be used on the Grant without cutting the length.

How to install

Bend the edge of the seal and remove the fastening brackets (nippers) underneath it.
Remove the plastic threshold profile under the carpet.
Install plastic bushings into the body holes.
Make holes in the carpet in the area of the installed bushings (with a hot nail).
Install the door sill trim and secure it with screws.
The front sills are installed in a similar way, but are additionally secured with a standard screw, which is located in the area of the driver’s left foot.

The whole process is also shown in the video:

Lada Granta internal door sill covers

Every motorist has had to deal with an unpleasant situation - significant contamination of the interior.

The penetration of dust and dirt compounds onto decorative carpet upholstery is not so dangerous, because cleaning can be done using a regular car vacuum cleaner.

But, nevertheless, now there are special sill covers, as well as internal linings that will help make your task easier.

What options are there for Granta threshold covers?

Door sills for the Lada Granta can be roughly classified according to the following criteria:

plastic products;
steel options with increased strength;
designer products.

Standard thresholds for Granta made of plastic attract an army of buyers with its affordable cost. If you use them with care, they can “live” for more than one year.

Thresholds on Grant, made of stainless steel, although they are characterized by a slightly higher cost, can “last” an order of magnitude longer. Their main drawback is the appearance of a small number of scratches after a long period of use.

If the steel surface of an element has additional elements, they are coated with a special composition that prevents scratches. The price of these accessories for Lada Granta is very high, and the installation process is more labor-intensive.

Why is it installed and what type of product is preferable?

The main purpose of the accessory is the protective function of the transition area between the threshold and the bottom in the LADA Granta interior. The product eliminates the unpleasant moment when the driver or passengers “cling” to the mat. In addition, the pads will prevent water from flowing under the thresholds. It is also advisable to use internal linings.

Mounted accessories allow you to slightly extend the service life of the body, since they protect its elements from moisture and the appearance of corrosive formations. An undeniable advantage will be the fact that it gives the car a stylish look.

Before choosing thresholds for the Grant, you should carefully evaluate the activity of the car. If traveling is a rare activity, then it would be rational to make do with plastic decorative elements. This approach allows the owner to save a certain amount of money.

The main advantage of the last two options is excellent wear resistance. In the vast majority of cases, these linings will last a period equal to the period of operation of the Lada Grant. These accessories do not require special care, but will require professionalism during installation, especially with regard to designer products.

What to do if the paint is peeling off

The paint on any part of the body, including the sills, begins to peel off for several reasons:

there is a corrosion area under the paintwork;
chips after impact with gravel;
enamel rupture after mechanical damage;
the paint may peel off after contact with a chemical reagent;
natural wear and tear.

Paintwork wear is observed in Chinese-made cars, when body parts are painted in one layer, are not protected, and after a year of operation the paint begins to peel off. AvtoVAZ models are painted as standard in two layers; the paint wears out if the car is used in extreme conditions. Algorithm for repainting:

Sand the part.
If there is no rust under the peeling enamel, treat with a degreaser.
Apply primer.
It is recommended to use a primer with a high zinc content. This will allow the part to be locally galvanized.
Paint it with paint to match the body color.

If corrosion is found under a strip of peeling paint, then it is necessary to carry out a full repair, first checking the condition of the bottom and wheel arches.

Priming the part

The point of priming a car body part before painting it is to create conditions under which the paint adheres better and the metal is protected from corrosion. The soil also clogs small pores. If you need to carry out the primer yourself, the sequence of actions is as follows:

the working surface of the car is degreased;
Closely located parts are covered with newspaper or a cape to avoid accidental painting;
the primer is diluted with a solvent (it is advisable to use the original one, but 647 is also possible);
the mixture is sprayed onto the car part (several times if necessary);
grinding is performed;
areas of complex shape are treated with Scotch Brite.

It should be noted that a good option would be if the color of the primer matches the color of the paint, and gray primer is considered universal.

How to install the overlay - instructions

The rubber seal, which is located above the internal threshold, is removed.
The mounting brackets are removed.
The plastic insert, which acts as a protective cover, is dismantled.

As an alternative, you can use accessories for the Lada Kalina, which are of suitable sizes and can be used on the Grant without cutting the length.

Manufacturers of door sills and their prices

Dozens of companies produce plastic thresholds for Grant; the price of the part, depending on the brand, the presence of lighting and the material of manufacture, varies from 300 to 14,000 rubles. Among the most popular and in demand:

Nata-Niko. The Ukrainian manufacturer produces licensed exterior sill trims for the entire VAZ model range. Stainless steel is used in production, additionally chrome-plated, panel thickness is 0.8 mm. The cost of a set of 4 overlays is 1000 rubles. The elements are installed on the base threshold using self-tapping screws.
AvtoVAZ. Direct manufacturer of standard thresholds and plastic trims. ABS plastic, resistant to mechanical stress, is used. All fasteners are included in the kit. Cost from 600 rub. per set.
Standard. The company produces stainless steel trims with the Lada logo. Front dimensions 445x43 mm, rear 380x33 mm. The pads are made of stainless steel, 0.5 mm thick. Installation is carried out using double-sided tape, it is included in the kit. Parts are suitable for all body modifications. Cost 980 rub. for a set of 4 elements.

Sequence of actions when setting thresholds

We place the car on a level platform, open the doors, and begin dismantling work.
We start with the driver's door, unscrew the four standard screws from the trim, and remove it.
We insert polymer pistons into the holes, they fit perfectly.
We apply the threshold and screw it with self-tapping screws.

When it comes to installing stainless steel trims and decorative inserts on the outer threshold, we use double-sided tape instead of screws. We pre-treat the surface, remove dust, dirt, and moisture.

Some service stations and tuning studios practice fitting metal onto self-tapping screws, but not every owner agrees to drilling a number of through holes in the car. By analogy, we complete the installation on the remaining sections of the thresholds.

Types of internal linings

Internal and external linings are classified according to the material of manufacture and installation method. Fairings are installed in one of the following ways:

for auto glue;
double sided tape;
bolted connection;
on self-tapping screws.

Bolts and screws are used to install parts made of plastic, more than 3 mm thick, fiberglass, or metal. This method is reliable and durable, but also has its drawbacks. If the base is rotten, screwing in the bolts can cause a break in the base threshold or distortion of the supporting structure. Before installing decorative overlays, the threshold and bottom are inspected and repaired.

Installation with double-sided tape or auto glue ensures a tight connection between the panel and the base. But due to the fact that the inner fairing must cover the threshold and press down the carpet, it is inconvenient to glue massive overlays; it is better to use self-tapping screws, and install only the upper strips and protective strips with glue.

Thresholds for Granta Sport are of the following types:

Plastic made of hard ABS plastic, tailored to the specific configuration of the car. If the overlay protrudes in size, the part can be easily aligned by cutting off the extra centimeters with metal scissors.
Metal, made of stainless steel with primary or additional chrome plating. The decorative element can withstand loads of up to 350 kg and has a long service life.
Made from fiberglass. The protection has a service life the same as steel elements, but due to its low weight it does not create additional load on the body.
Illuminated fairings. A very convenient option if children often travel in the car. An additional light built into the rear sill allows kids to get in and out of the car comfortably.

Catalog numbers for interior linings for Lada Granta sedan/station wagon:

Front left -1118-5109077;
Rear left - 1118-5109079;
Front right - 1118-5109076;
Front left - 1118-5109077.

Manufacturers also offer fasteners in the kit if the parts are mounted with screws. If the fairing kit does not include screws and bushings, the fasteners have their own catalog numbers, which will allow drivers not to make a mistake when choosing:

Fastening screws, 16 pcs. - 1118-8212786;
Bushings, 16 pcs. - 1118-8212778.

How to install standard door sills for Lada Granta?

https://youtube.com/watch?v=inPiMTkYLCA

In order for the element to really last a long time, you need to take care of the quality of the installation. First, you will need to purchase the kind of Lada Granta door sills that fit the model. You can also focus on accessories from the Lada Kalina, which have identical dimensions.

You can also consider modern products, but they exactly meet the stated requirements in terms of parameters. Once the pads have been purchased, installation can be carried out according to the following instructions:

1. Remove the protective rubber located above the threshold.

2. Remove the small plastic insert, which serves as an internal protective lining.

3. Check for rust; if small spots appear, treat with a protective mixture.

4. Insert the clips into the prepared factory holes, return the rubber seal to its place, and straighten the carpet.

5. We apply a new trim according to the correct location (plastic elements may need holes for self-tapping screws, which the motorist will make manually).

6. Screw the trim using factory self-tapping screws.

In some cases, the protective inner plate is missing, and the clips will already be installed in their rightful places. Therefore, before buying linings for the internal sills of the Lada Granta, it is recommended to study all the elements under the seal. If there are no clips in the threshold, you need to additionally purchase them along with linings and screws.

The paint on any part of the body, including the sills, begins to peel off for several reasons:

there is a corrosion area under the paintwork;
chips after impact with gravel;
enamel rupture after mechanical damage;
the paint may peel off after contact with a chemical reagent;

Paint it with paint to match the body color.

If corrosion is found under a strip of peeling paint, then it is necessary to carry out a full repair, first checking the condition of the bottom and wheel arches.

Anti-gravel for thresholds

Anti-gravel is applied to the outer part of the body in two versions: as independent protection, under car enamel. Factory anti-gravel protection is applied to the bottom, lower part of the wings, sills; on the 2018 Grant, the lower parts of the front doors are covered with protection.

Before applying anti-gravel, the threshold must be prepared as for painting:

remove the old paintwork;
treat corrosive plaques, if any;
prime.

The primer is applied only to bare metal; if anti-gravel is applied to old paintwork or putty, then no primer is used. When making repairs, it is recommended to mount the car on a jack, having first checked the metal of the jacks.

Depending on what surface the anti-gravel is applied to, the work process varies. Algorithm for applying protection to painted thresholds:

Cover with tape the part of the threshold that does not require protection.
Clean the paintwork on the threshold with sandpaper and use R-80 sandpaper.
Degrease the surface.
Spray anti-gravel from a can.

Plastic overhead sills and plastic body kits are not treated with anti-gravel. Alternatively, you can use armor film or metal panels on the top of the part.

There are several types of anti-gravel protection available on the market:

In aerosols or spray cans. Convenient to use when working on the body yourself.
Cylinders for a special gun. They are most often used in industrial body processing at specialized service stations.
In cans, the compositions are applied with a brush.

Depending on the type of application, anti-gravel can be used for painting or instead of car enamel.

If anti-gravel is used as additional protection for paintwork and is applied without painting, then the composition is sprayed onto the threshold in a thick layer. Manufacturers produce material in different colors, the most common being black, gray, and white.

Anti-gravel under enamel is marked by the manufacturer with a special sign: “for painting”. After the protective layer has dried, the threshold is painted with auto enamel to match the body color.

Purpose

Standard factory equipment involves the installation of plastic cladding panels on the internal sills of the car, which protect the interior lining. The disadvantages of standard elements include the insufficient quality of plastic, which quickly cracks and loses its shape. The first Lada models were equipped with rubber pads to protect the threshold, but under the influence of salt reagents that are sprinkled on the streets in winter, the rubber quickly cracked and peeled off.

In addition to their protective function, fairings are an element of the overall interior decor. Beautiful panels, matched to the color of the dashboard and pillar trim, often with chrome plating, and lighting that is activated when the door is open can give the entire car interior individual style and comfort.
