Size of windshield wipers Lada Granta: technical characteristics

home ⇒ equipment ⇒ wipers ⇒ lada ⇒ lada wipers

The size of the left wipers on the Lada Granta is 24″ (inches), the right ones - 16″ (inches), the rear ones - 14″ (inches).

From the factory, Lada Granta is equipped with frame windshield wiper blades. The length of the driver's side reaches 600 (mm), passenger's - 410 (mm), rear - 360 (mm).

On cars of this brand, a standard fastening is used - a hook.

Dimensions of wipers for a sedan:

Driver's side: 600 mm (24″).
Passenger side: 410 mm (16″).
Rear: 360 mm (14″).

On Lada Granta it is allowed to install alternative sizes of wipers. The most optimal option for replacing the driver's brush would be 610-650 (mm), the passenger's - 400-450 (mm). Rear brushes, as a rule, are not replaced with larger ones.

Important: the total length of the brushes should not exceed 1050 (mm).

Wipers for Lada Granta

Buying windshield wipers for Lada Granta is not difficult. Only two generations have been released since 2011. The body has changed minimally in its dimensions. The windshield is the same one used. Therefore, the length of the brushes has not changed at all. The second generation is distinguished by the presence of a rear brush.

Well-functioning windshield wiper blades on the Lada Granta are the key to safety on the road. Since the view through the windshield provides visibility. It is important to choose wipers that are suitable not only for the type of mounting. But also in its length. Long brushes cause damage to paintwork. Separately, it should be noted: AvtoVAZ has not produced brushes independently for a long time.

Dimensions

The overall dimensions of both generations of cars are identical. It should be noted: AvtoVAZ purchases ready-made brushes from Bosch. After which it carries out installation directly on the conveyor. Uses original packaging for products made in Germany. Therefore, you can safely purchase brushes from other manufacturers.

It will not be possible to find original ones made in Togliatti. The standard size is 410 mm on the passenger side, 600 mm on the driver’s side. The first generation car was released in a sedan body.

Wipers are shown only on the windshield. The second generation was released in a liftback body. There is a rear wiper. It is important to note: its length is 300 mm.

It is possible to install a longer wiper.

2011-2017	First generation	600 mm	410 mm	Absent	Hook
2018-present	Second generation	600 mm	410 mm	300 mm	Hook

Up to 350 mm. More than this length, the brush will begin to touch body parts. You can figure out which ones are better with the help of a specialist.

Original articles

It is possible to purchase original parts. But this does not make sense: AvtoVAZ packages contain products from other manufacturers. The article number allows you to find the brush on the Bosch website. It is worth noting that the quality of such parts is great. From the assembly line, cars are equipped with frameless models.

Replacement options

It is not difficult to purchase high-quality brushes in the store - analogues. It is only necessary to note: it is worth choosing parts from well-proven brands. All presented modifications can be divided into categories:

frame;
frameless;
hybrid;
winter.

Frame

They are a classic design. An important advantage is low cost. The downside is the low contact ability at high speed. After 80 km/h the brushes practically stop cleaning. The reason is simple: the air flow lifts the cleaning surface above the glass. Which leads to poor contact. As a result: precipitation and dirt are not removed from the car.

Frameless

They are a good alternative to classic solutions. But it should be noted: they cost a little more. The brush itself is made from a single piece of rubber. This allows the air flow to easily flow around the structure. Therefore, even at a speed of 140-190 km/h, there are no problems with cleaning. But frameless brushes are characterized by low strength.

Hybrid

Hybrid ones do not have the disadvantages of frame and frameless brushes. But they have their advantages:

good aerodynamics;
stylish design;
strength.

Like frameless ones, they are made from a single piece of rubber. But there is a metal structure inside. Making the brush more rigid. This allows you to worry about damage without worrying. These models are distinguished by their durability. Even with intensive use, they will survive 2-3 seasons.

Winter

Winter wipers are distinguished by their elasticity - even at sub-zero temperatures they clean the glass well. The secret of this effect is simple: rubber contains rubber.

Its main feature is that at low temperatures it does not lose its flexibility. Maintains elasticity.

Winter brushes are a good solution for those living in the Far North or areas close to it.

When purchasing brushes, you need to focus on the following factors:

weather in which operation is carried out;
driving speed – if the car accelerates over 100 km/h, then frameless, hybrid brush models are purchased.

To avoid such a difficult choice, some car owners simply carry several pairs of wipers with them at once. If necessary, changing frameless to frame and vice versa. Winter brushes allow you to avoid frostbite on the glass and the formation of plaque on it. Models designed for the summer season will not cope with low temperatures.

Replacement options

Hybrid
OSAWA	GW60+GW40	Asymmetric spoiler	From 1.6 thousand rubles
Winter
Osawa	SW40	SW (winter)	From 900 rubles

Replacement

The replacement procedure is simple. It is carried out in just a few steps:

the leash is moved to a perpendicular position - in relation to the stack being cleaned;
You need to clamp the brush on both narrow sides and pull it towards the hood, down;
With gentle rocking, you need to pull the brush out of the hook in which the rotation axis is located.

If the brush is no longer used in the future, dismantling can be done with a jerk. In this case, the plastic clamp will most likely break. Installation is performed in reverse order. It is important to remember: plastic becomes brittle in the cold. Freezing temperatures can cause it to break. It is important to carefully study the installation method.

It is almost impossible to drive on the road, especially in rainy or snowy weather, without brushes. They, like any other car part, require replacement from time to time. At such moments, owners of Lada Granda cars are faced with the question: how to choose the right brushes?

The fact is that the plant that assembles the above car equips it with special frame brushes measuring 4.1 cm (right) and 6.0 cm (left). These brushes also have an attachment called a “hook.” Therefore, you can’t just go to the store and choose the brushes that you like most in terms of quality and price. It is imperative to pay attention to their size and type of fastening.

Windshield wiper blades for Lada Granta - choose the size, don’t forget about quality

It’s not difficult to understand that the wipers have outlived their usefulness and it’s time to replace them. Here are the most common signs of worn windshield wiper blades:

Cloudy glass. In this case, continuing to move is strictly prohibited. The cause of this problem, in most cases, is chemical contamination of the glass due to the poor composition of the glass washing liquid. Also, clouding of the windshield can occur due to damage to the rubber band, as a result of which the angle of the edge of the windshield wiper blade shifts;
Large dirty areas on the glass. Appear due to icing of the windshield wiper design. As a result, the amplitude of movement of the cleaners decreases;
"Jumping" brushes. Occurs as a result of an increase in the lifting force of the wipers. They begin to move faster, “jumping” across the glass coating;
Narrow stripes on the windshield after cleaning with the windshield wiper blade. The cause may be dirt stuck to the brush or wear on the edge of the belt.

When the reason is determined and the owner of the Lada Granta is convinced of the need to replace the wipers, you can go shopping for the part. Today, in Russian stores, customers are offered two options for windshield wiper blades: framed and frameless.

There is a significant difference between them. First, the frameless wiper blades are pressed more tightly against the glass surface, resulting in better cleaning. Secondly, wipers of this type freeze less.

Thirdly, frameless wipers make much less noise when operating at high speed.

Frame wipers also have their advantages. They damage the surface less, since they are not pressed against the glass as tightly as frameless ones.

Additionally, if the windshield is highly curved, frame wiper blades will clean a larger area than their frameless competitors. Thirdly, frame wiper blades are much cheaper than frameless ones.

As a result, it turns out that frameless wipers are more technologically advanced, but you will have to pay more for them. Installation of brushes, regardless of their type, will be the same.

Absolutely all Lada Granta cars, regardless of their configuration, are produced with wipers of the same size: for the driver’s seat - 600 mm, and 410 mm for the passenger seat. Therefore, it costs the same size to buy replacement windshield wiper blades.

To do this, as it turned out, is not so easy. Many cheap parts manufacturers will tell you the size of windshield wiper blades we need, but will put larger or smaller wipers in the box than the specified sizes. To avoid such embarrassment, you should open the box in the store and ask a consultant to use a tape measure to measure the length of each wiper blade.

If you purchase brushes of the wrong size, you may later encounter problems such as poor glass cleaning quality. It directly depends on correctly selected wipers. The fact is that each windshield wiper blade is pressed against the glass with its own force.

Reviews

№	Positive
1.	Gennady, 42 years old: a year has passed since buying the car, there are no complaints, everything works properly. The windshield wipers will last one more season, after which I will replace them with new ones. By the way, the original factory ones were installed.
2.	Kirill, 38 years old: there is no money to buy a garage yet, so the car sits on the street all year round. This is of course bad, but what can you do? Despite the harsh winter, the wipers withstood the frost and clean well, without islands. Installed from the factory: 3397004667, 3397004673.
3.	Vyacheslav, 35 years old: Grant is already in its second year, overall I’m happy with the car. I don’t drive it much, I fill it with good oils and fill it with high-quality fuel. Surprisingly, the seals are in good condition, and the windshield wipers are also in good condition. My advice to car enthusiasts. For this price it is difficult to find something better.
4.	Nikolai, 41 years old: I work as a taxi driver, I drive all day long, the car is working hard. The other day I replaced the right wiper because it started to leave a little streaks. I don’t consider this a defect, although it could still serve as a service.
5.	Dmitry, 39 years old: I work as a manager in a car store, specializing in spare parts for domestic VAZs. Grant parts are in less demand, the reasons are obvious - quality has improved. The same cannot be said about Priora, although the car is also good.
6.	Sergey, 39 years old: I had an accident a month ago and had my windshield replaced. The windshield wipers began to rub badly, I had to replace them with new ones, I don’t blame the defect, rather the glass was installed with an excessive slope.
Negative
1.	Nikolai, 45 years old: after purchasing Grant, I immediately replaced a number of parts and components, including wipers. They don't clean them enough, they squeak occasionally, this is unacceptable to me.
2.	Victor, 50 years old: after winter, the left wiper began to tap on medium mode. I replaced it with a new factory one, but the problem was not solved. The store advised me to buy from Renault Logan, I’ve been using it for several months, no complaints.

How long are the wipers on the grant?

The safety of the driver and passengers primarily depends on the quality of windshield cleaning, so every car owner must control this issue. Wipers are classified as consumables, so sooner or later every car enthusiast will be faced with the need to replace them. What size is the Lada Granta windshield wiper and in what cases do the blades need to be changed? We will tell you more about this below.

When do windshield wiper blades need to be replaced?

There are several signs that indicate that the purifiers need replacing:

The primary and most important is poor windshield cleaning quality, the appearance of streaks and streaks when fluid is supplied from the washer reservoir. As a result of wear of the blades themselves installed on the wipers, the quality of glass cleaning is reduced to a minimum. Poor cleaning results in obstructed visibility.
The appearance of noise and squeaking when the wipers operate. As a rule, extraneous noise appears after the brushes begin to wear out and the glass is poorly cleaned. But there are also cases when the sound appears first, and only then the ineffectiveness of the brushes. So if you notice squeaking or noise, keep in mind that you will have to change your wipers soon.
The glass began to darken. As a rule, darkening of the glass is caused by the use of a low-quality washer, but the reason may also lie in damage to the rubber blade. This will cause the angle of the wiper edge to be offset.
The windshield wipers seem to “jump”. As a result of an increase in lifting force, the following problem appears - the wipers begin to work faster, and accordingly, they can jump over some areas of the glass surface.

Brush sizes

according to the technical manual, the size of the driver's wiper is 600 mm;
The size of the passenger cleaner is 410 mm.

Alternatively, you can use longer windshield wipers:

On the passenger side, you can install a longer wiper, its size should be no more than 450 mm, this will allow it to engage a larger amount of surface.
As for the driver's brush, it is better not to experiment here. For example, if you install a 610 mm wiper, this will cause it to touch the car body during operation, and accordingly, a knock will appear (video author - TheLadaKalina 2).

Types of wipers

There are two types of wipers for the Lada Granta:

Frameless. Such products are better pressed against the surface of the windshield, which allows for better cleaning. Due to the absence of a frame, such devices practically do not freeze during the frosty season, which greatly simplifies their operation in winter. In addition, when operating at high speed, frameless products produce an order of magnitude less noise.
Frame. This option is older, since it was previously widely used on many cars. Their cost is lower, but they are equipped with a frame, which in any case will freeze during cold weather. However, products of this type tend to cause less damage to the surface of the windshield, since they are not pressed against it as tightly, unlike frameless options.

There is also a hybrid version of the product, but it has the same characteristics as frame wipers, so we do not recommend choosing it. The most technologically advanced option is frameless products, but their cost is higher (the author of the video is the remgar channel).

Recommendations for selection

Let's consider several product manufacturers:

Frameless Bosch Aerotwin. Belgian-made products are equipped with native fastenings; the main advantage is a long service life, as well as aerodynamics and the absence of extraneous sounds during operation.
SWF VisioNext - also of the frameless type, equipped with a hook type mount. The products are manufactured by Valeo, which also produces many other types of components and parts for cars.
Bosch Twin Spoiler frame brushes. Dimensions fit standard Granta windshield wipers. Despite the fact that the products are frame, they are quite reliable and have a long service life.
Champion Aerovantage. This manufacturer has been on the market for quite a long time, during which time it has been able to win the trust of many of our compatriots. The products belong to the premium segment of the market and are equipped with a steel frame.

Price issue

The cost of products depends on their quality, performance and manufacturer. Average prices for some windshield wiper models are shown below.

Frame or frameless, which is better to choose?

The consumer has always been faced with the question: which wipers to buy - framed or frameless. Both types have their pros and cons. Let's look at which windshield wiper blades fit the size of the Lada Granta, indicate the article numbers and manufacturers. This will help when choosing, so as not to make a mistake by a couple of extra centimeters.

Review of frameless wipers on Lada Granta

Let's start with frameless ones:

Bosch (3397118907). This company produces windshield wiper blades for many cars. For Lada Grants, they are available in lengths of 600 and 400 mm. Like the entire line, they clean very well, are durable and do not scratch the glass surface. This product is manufactured in Belgium.
SWF (119840, 119860). The main production is located in Poland and France. SVF is a subsidiary of Valeo, which is known for its high-quality spare parts. The length and type of fastening are ideal for the Lada Granta.
Horse is a domestically produced windshield wiper for the Lada Granta, the size of which is 600 and 410 mm, which is completely suitable. There is one caveat: to install them on a car you will have to use an adapter for a hook.

Review of frame wipers on Lada Granta

Frame options:

Bosch (3397004673, 3397004667). This is an inexpensive substitute for the frameless option from a world famous brand. They run well, don't creak and last quite a long time.
Bosch (3397010297). This is another inexpensive option for brushes, where a pair is already combined in one package, 60 and 40 cm long.
Champion (A60/B01, A41/B01). They have a metal frame and are considered a premium class among frame wipers.

There is also a third option for windshield wiper blades on Granta - these are hybrid ones. They are manufactured by Denso (060L, 040L). These are frame wipers that are covered with an aerodynamic casing. The pricing policy for such brushes is average between frame and frameless, so they are considered more affordable. In terms of technical qualities, they are in no way inferior to frameless brushes.

Lada Granta windshield wiper blade size

Windshield wipers rightfully belong to the car safety system, including the Lada Granta, since they allow you to remove foreign formations from the surface of the glass, such as mud deposits, dust spots, snow or streams of rain. This allows you to achieve sufficient visibility of the road and guarantee safe movement, especially in deteriorating weather conditions. Therefore, the size of the windshield wiper blades is no less important than other parameters.

The design of windshield wipers on all cars requires the presence of blades, which is regulated by the regulatory framework for vehicles. Accordingly, the size of the wipers should be suitable for your car.

This article will touch upon the features of the windshield wiper blades of the Lada Granta, including the size of the wipers.

The design of the windshield wiper is tritely simple. It includes a swing arm activated by an electric motor and a wiper located at its end section.

Pendulum and synchronous movements of the brushes allow periodic cleaning of the glass surface.

These mechanisms are equipped with several oscillation speeds, which allows you to select the optimal cleaning mode depending on the weather factor present. To ensure high-quality cleaning of the glass surface, the size of the wipers is important.

Almost all Lada Grant owners eventually have the question of selecting and replacing these consumables (brushes). The reasons may include several aspects, namely:

due to abrasion of the working rubber element;
in case of a malfunction in the mounting block;
due to interruptions in the functionality of the relay.

Regardless of the outcome, replacing the wipers cannot be avoided. Next, we will pay special attention to this aspect.

Signs that require replacement

To determine whether the brushes are worn out and the need to replace them, you should remember these signs.

Darkening appears on the windshield. Here you should pay significant attention to the degree of cleanliness of the glass, which directly affects driving safety. If such a factor (darkening) occurs, then further movement is prohibited. The cause of the darkening may be a low-quality detergent. Another factor causing this phenomenon may be the deformation of the rubber band, causing the angle of the edge on the wiper to shift.
The presence of large stains of dirt on the surface of the glass. This may be caused by the icing effect of the brushes themselves or wear of the working area, which leads to a decrease in efficiency. Perhaps the fact is that the size of the wipers is not suitable.
The effect of “jumping” of the blades, which occurs due to an increase in the lifting force of the windshield wipers. An increase in the speed of movement of the windshield wiper blade inevitably leads to the fact that it simply “jumps” over areas on the windshield.
The presence of narrow stripes on the surface of the glass caused by the operation of the wipers. Among the reasons you can find dirt stuck to the wiper or excessive wear of the working edge.

How to set it up

The clock in the VAZ-2190 car is located on the liquid crystal display on the dashboard. The clock numbers are much larger than all the other numbers on the screen. In addition to the time, the display also displays the vehicle's daily and total mileage, fuel consumption and other data.

So, how to set the clock on the Lada Granta? To correctly set the clock on the new VAZ liftback model, you must clearly know where the following controls are located in the car:

ignition switch - or, alternatively, side light switch on the dashboard;
display control button (daily mileage reset button);
windshield wiper control lever (right steering column switch).

The right steering column switch, in addition to all other functions, should scroll through the display operating modes in a circle, displaying information about the car's mileage, fuel consumption and the current time.

Size of Lada Granta wipers: technical specifications

The most common mistake when choosing brushes for the Lada Granta

This section of the article was written specifically to ensure that owners of cars of the above brand never repeat the mistake that many have already made before. We are talking about purchasing and installing brushes that do not have a frame.

If you install such blades on your windshield (and also save on their quality), you will not notice any problems when driving at a speed of 60 km/h. If you increase the speed by another 20 km/h, there will also be no particular inconvenience.

But as soon as you accelerate the Grant to a speed of 90 km/h, the brushes will no longer fit tightly to the glass and will simply “fly up”. At the same time, it should be noted that brushes of this type have excellent external properties.

Alternative to factory brushes

6.0x4.0 cm is the most popular version of windshield wipers.
6.5x4.0 cm is a fairly good option, due to which the triangle of dirt at the bottom of the windshield will be minimized.
6.0x4.5 cm. This option should only be used if you are installing frameless brushes.
6.5x42.5. By purchasing such brushes for your Lada Granta, you can completely get rid of the ill-fated triangle.

Thus, it becomes clear that the total length of both wipers should not exceed 105 cm. It should be noted that in the last, fourth version of the brushes they can come into contact with each other. However, in practice this does not happen, since the left brush is always above the right one.

How to replace brushes

The first thing you need to do is move the windshield wiper arm away from the glass. The following is the procedure:

squeeze the latch;
remove the latch from the hook;
remove the brush.

The most difficult part of this task is trying to move the hook up. The fact is that this action must be done so as not to damage the elastic band.

Installation of new brushes is carried out in the opposite sequence.

Combined, frameless, framed

The concept of “frame brush” is known to all car enthusiasts. This is a design that uses a metal frame. By the way, a fairly narrow strip made of some other material, for example, plastic, can also act as such a frame. In this case, such a structure is called frameless.

Combined wiper designs are also commonly called “hybrid”. They use both a metal frame and a narrow strip at the same time. In general, this type of wipers is not much different from frame ones. The only thing that distinguishes them from each other is their height, which in combined ones turns out to be much smaller.

"Winter" brushes"

Simply put, winter brushes are the same as frame brushes, only with a fairly thick plastic cover. These brushes have several significant disadvantages:

high price;
significantly increased weight;
presence of a frame.

Each owner has the right to choose which brushes to install on their Lada Granta independently. However, we should not forget that the driver’s visibility and, as a result, safety on the road directly depend on the quality and type of brushes. Therefore, it is not worth saving on such a seemingly completely unimportant detail as windshield wipers.

Common Mistake

Installing frameless brushes, especially the budget range, does not always lead to the desired results. At speeds up to 60 km/h, the windshield wipers work perfectly, up to 80 - passable. And then, if you drive along the highway faster than 90 km/h, the blades no longer adhere to the surface of the glass - they “fly up”. Although everything looks great from the outside. More details in the material: front wipers are poorly cleaned!

Frameless wipers 40 and 60 cm Frameless wipers 41 and 60 cm

Let us remember that here we were talking specifically about frameless ones. Perhaps our criticism will not be relevant for expensive solutions.

Previously, in the 2109 and 2114 families, flatter glass was used than on Kalina/Grant. On convex glass, the “right wiper” may not reach the lower corner (see photo). The problem is solved by installing frameless brushes. And what this entails was discussed above.

Right windshield wiper blade

Alternative sizes

It is clear that they are trying to increase the size of the brushes, not decrease them. Let's look at what happens as a result:

60 x 40 is the most common option;
65 x 40 is a good alternative. The “triangle” at the bottom between the brushes will be reduced to the limit;
60 x 45 – use this option only if you are installing frameless frames;

Brushes 60 x 45 cm
65 x 42.5, frameless – remove the “triangle” completely.

Probably, the reader managed to understand the main idea: the total length of the brushes should not exceed 105 cm. In the latter version, by the way, one “wiper” can come into contact with another. In practice, this does not happen, since the “left brush” is located above the “right”.

The most extreme combination used in reality is 65 x 43!

Performing a replacement

First of all, you need to move the windshield wiper arm away from the glass. Then the actions correspond to the picture: we squeeze the latch, remove it from the hook, and dismantle it. The most difficult thing is to move the hook up (Fig. 2). You need to be able to avoid damaging the rubber band (brush).

Removing J-Hook wipers

Installation is carried out in the reverse order - the latch should snap into place on its own. We wish you success!

Frame, frameless, combined

What a “frame wiper” is is clear to everyone: the design of the unit uses a metal frame. The role of the frame can be performed by a narrow strip made, for example, of plastic. And then the structure is called frameless (see figure). By the way, the plastic itself can differ in rigidity, and it is also sometimes reinforced.

Three types of wipers

Hybrid or combined designs use a frame and a plastic strip (bottom picture). In general, a hybrid differs little from a frame wiper: the height is reduced, other characteristics are the same. So, there is no need to delude yourself about the use of “hybrid wipers”.

If the frame brush does not clean one corner or another part of the surface, the same will happen with the “hybrid”.

Winter brushes

If tourmaline is added to rubber, such material will be good at removing oil films. And if the wiper frame is covered with a cover, this will protect the structure from ice. This means that, in general, winter brushes are frame brushes with a plastic cover.

“Winter wipers” can only be frame ones

And for some reason it is believed that it is necessary to clean glass from oil products in winter.

The disadvantages of winter windshield wipers are listed below:

Availability of a frame (required);
Increased weight of the structure;
High price.

In theory, any winter brush is also suitable for summer. The main thing is not to use frameless brushes in winter, since they are not intended to fight ice.

The many faces of U-Hood

Some brushes compatible with the U-Hood (J-Hood) mount have a tricky lock: to loosen the mount, you need to bend the lever. This lever itself is difficult to immediately notice (Fig. 1).

To tilt the lever at least to some angle, you must first squeeze two buttons (Fig. 2). So, the sequence: squeeze the buttons, tilt the lever.
