Any of us knows that a heavy car is a guarantee of stability on the road, so engineers try to design even economy-class cars so that they have sufficient weight for safe movement. In addition, there are some parts that are mostly responsible for aerodynamics - the hood or trunk, and have large lids, which also adds weight to the car.

And, you see, it’s very, very little pleasant to be slammed with such a lid. For Lada Granta owners, danger awaits both from the hood and from the trunk, and in order not to be in the risk zone, we recommend that you study the assortment of our store and purchase such parts as stops (pneumo-hydraulic pushers, shock absorbers).

This device, thanks to its design, helps:

1. open and lift the lid without any extra effort
2. secure it and keep it open
3. Close the lid smoothly, without unnecessary noise and damage to the car’s paintwork.

The stops do not require special care and are very durable, and you will appreciate the benefits of their presence as soon as you need to open the trunk or hood.

Music: SineSpace – Always find me

In the standard version, the hood of the Kalina and Grants is held in the open position by a stop (popularly called a “poker”). If you often have to look into the engine compartment, the design can be modified by purchasing a special hood shock absorber, the price of which starts from 1,200 rubles. Want to save money? Install the hood gas stop yourself for only 100-200 rubles.

It's no secret that most of Grant's technical solutions migrated to Kalina. The hood of these two models is the same, so installing the hood damper is no different.

Required:

1. Gas stop from Chery with a force of 300 N (catalog number: S21-5605010) - 1 piece;
2. Furniture corner dimensions 60x30x20mm;
3. Bolt M8*16 - 1 pc.;
4. Nut M8 - 1 pc.;
5. Enlarged washer M8 - 1 pc.;
6. M8 washer - 2 pcs.;
7. Connecting nut (barrel) M8*20 - 1 piece;
8. Ball gas stop holder 21080-6308134-00 - 2 pcs.

Installation procedure:

1. Install an M8 bolt with a nut, a barrel and a ball stop holder into the technological hole near the left headlight;
2. Unscrew the hood fastening bolt and install the hood support bracket, having previously made a hole in it for the ball holder;
3. Insert the hood gas stop into the ball holders.

Gas struts

I don’t know, but apparently I’m haunted by the thought that something needs to be improved in the car.

I've been looking at gas struts for the trunk lid and hood for a long time.

Somehow I started looking for these elements, but somehow I couldn’t find kits in online stores in Moscow so that everything would be in stock.

But in one store I found a kit for the trunk and hood.

Since I have a trunk lid without trim or any weights, I used stops with a pressure of 250 units.

There were stops with a pressure of 415 units, but the seller did not recommend that I install them.

I wanted to get the hood gas stop cheaper, but the store consultant recommended taking all the equipment from the Togliatti company Tehnomaster.

In general, I won’t describe the installation of additional elements, everything is simply simple and stupid. Unscrewed, inserted, tightened. Everything fit perfectly, without any problems. the result is in the photo.

I would like to draw your attention to the fact that, of course, now it seems like some kind of miracle that the trunk lid was opened, I played with it all evening. Cool

But I would like to point out that you now have to force yourself to close the trunk. For a girl I think this will be an impossible task!!!! so think before installing trunk stops

I haven't started removing the torsion bars yet.

The hood stop is also convenient, now you don’t have to reach for the old stop with your hands.

The hood lifts up on its own, which is convenient. But you also need to make an effort to close it.

At the same time I decided to change the brake pedal sensor. changes simply. It’s just very inconvenient to change, well, very inconvenient.

The old sensor looks good on the outside, I'll try to take it apart to see what's inside.

I noticed a long time ago that when the car is idling, two puddles of water form on the floor near the muffler. Today I once again fell to my knees and then onto my back under my favorite car.

I found holes on the belly of the resonator. At first the first thought was, well, the quality is crap, there are already holes

Today I once again fell to my knees and then onto my back under my favorite car. I found holes on the belly of the resonator. At first, the first thought was, well, the quality is crap, there are already holes.

But upon closer inspection, it turned out that the muffler had not burned out, but that the holes had been carefully made. I haven't seen this on previous cars. It’s strange how the plant started making holes to drain condensate!?

Or did they do something wrong with my muffler?

In my plans I want to change the door closers - door stops. To Czech plastic ones. But the price is 1000 apiece. I looked at the reviews on these door closers, they say and write that they are not very suitable for cars made before 2014, the technological hole is too small for them, and they work hard and bend the door inside, you have to work with a file, like.

If anyone has done it, please write whether it’s worth the trouble.

Thank you for your attention

Did you drill holes in the corners? It seems that the M8 bolts do not fit into the finished holes.

Is there such an economical theme in the trunk?

It's in the trunk!

It's in the trunk!

Sorry, I was wondering about the grant from you...

Why two stands, one won’t hold it?

Why is the mortgage that is attached to the wing in a single copy?

Only this wing was played, maybe two, it couldn’t be more terrible!

Cool, I'll have to try it in the garage.

Unsurpassedly invented, bookmarked!

At first I also thought about creating it in a similar way, but somehow I only got to the corners. Later I decided to take ready-made ones. And it’s unsurpassed, the main thing is that the hood doesn’t bend!

the hood bends only if there is one stop

A comfortable thing))) I didn’t have any welding and I cut threads in the mounting plate, and there are few other fasteners.

Bookmarked, absolutely! +100500 to karma)

New Grant hood gas stop: rules for selection and installation

When choosing a suitable accessory, you need to study its characteristics. For example, high-quality gas struts for the trunk of a Lada Granta with a chrome-plated steel rod will last a long time and reliably. In addition, gas saturation will guarantee good operation even in severe frosts. This model is suitable for work in any weather.

Differences in length and strength are also important when searching for suitable options. Before you buy a Grant hood gas stop, you need to make sure that the dimensions of the accessory match exactly.

The load on the product should not be too heavy. Therefore, it can be installed on the hood or trunk. It is not recommended to make sudden jerks when opening; careless handling can damage the stop.

Products may differ both in parameters and operating pressure. The diameter of the rod and cylinder are the values ​​of their dimensions, which only relatively affect the quality of work. It is recommended to purchase a hood stop for Grant with a pressure within 400 H and a total length of 50 cm. These dimensions are quite enough for normal functioning.

After purchasing a suitable stop, you can install it yourself. This will require mounting brackets. One of them is screwed to the hood, the second to the body. Next, the gas stop of the hood of the Lada Grant is attached to the prepared fasteners and the quality of the work done is checked.

When installing for a trunk, the procedure does not change. But the motorist needs to take into account the difference in the length of the products.

The longer the Grant trunk gas stop, the wider the opening angle. This rule also applies to the installation of the front hood support. It’s worth thinking about all the nuances in advance and taking the necessary measurements.

Correct installation of the product will guarantee its good service for many years. Some car owners are considering installing not one, but several elements. But one high-quality gas strut for the Grant trunk will completely cope with the assigned tasks. Therefore, there is no need to reinvent the wheel: it is better to concentrate on purchasing and installing a reliable element.

Recommendations for choosing parts for installation

The cost of products from a domestic manufacturer is 10–15% lower than their foreign counterparts. The quality of parts made by different manufacturers does not differ much. It is not rational to overpay interest for a trademark.

Another thing is the type of pusher. As mentioned above, shock absorbers are made with oil and gas filler. Obviously, gas models are more durable, more reliable, but are 15% more expensive than their oil counterparts. The final choice is up to the owner of the technical device.

Lada Granta: repair, operation, tuning and maintenance

During the operation of the vehicle, it may be necessary to either adjust the hood or remove any parts to repair other parts or the hood itself. Let's consider sequentially all the steps regarding the Lada Granta hood that may be required for your purposes. In order to open the hood, you need to pull the hood lock drive handle; it is located in the car interior to the left of the steering wheel, under the instrument panel. After this, between the radiator trim and the hood you will see a small gap, approximately in the middle in it we find the foot of the safety hook and lift it.

Steps required to remove the hood latch (the hood latch is made in the form of a spring):

— first you need to remove the radiator trim by unscrewing three screws along its upper edge and removing two latches along the lower edge;

— then you need to pull out the end of the lock drive cable sheath from the bracket;

— on the other side, we also remove the cable tip from the locking spring loop;

— using pliers, grab the end of the locking spring, which is located in the hole under the radiator frame, and remove the spring through this hole.

To remove the lock drive cable, you must perform the following steps:

— find the hood opening handle and unscrew the bolt-axis of this handle;

— we see the closed end of the cable, straighten it and remove it from the hood release handle;

- to pull out the cable, for convenience, you need to tie a cord to its end that is longer than the length of the cable;

— pull out the cable through the hole in the body in the engine compartment;

- then remove the cord in order to remove the plastic tip and flat washer from the cable;

— we tie the cord again and finally take out the hood lock drive cable.

Removing the safety hook is very simple: unscrew the two nuts securing the hook with a 10mm wrench.

To remove the hood latch, perform the following steps:

- loosen the large locknut;

— then unscrew the latch itself.

Using the hood lock, you can adjust the position both in height and horizontally. Height adjustment: to do this, loosen the large locknut, and, holding it in one position, simultaneously unscrew or tighten the adjusting rod of the hood latch. Then be sure to tighten the locknut back. Horizontal adjustment: loosen the locknut, close the hood without latching it. Due to the loosened locknut, the lock should move relative to the hole in the hood. When the lock is in the desired position, open the hood and tighten the locknut.

Procedure for installing the gas stop

The sequence of actions is as follows:

1. We open the engine compartment of the Lada Granta and remove the plastic holder in the center of the engine shield, which holds the soundproofing sheet of the engine compartment. Nearby (below) there is another similar internal fastener; several bolts inserted into these holes will hold the lower fastener.
2. We disconnect the plug that holds the plastic engine casing.
3. We screw the mount to the bottom and, having inserted the bolt at 10 on top, tighten the nut from below.
4. We place emphasis on the lower mount.
5. We remove the casing.
6. If there is a hood deflector, we also remove it so that it does not interfere.
7. Place the top bracket directly on the car. It has technological holes into which the upper fastening brackets will be placed. After removing the plugs, we insert the brackets into the slots, screw on the bolts and washers (but do not tighten them).
8. Using a screwdriver, center the hole in the mount with the hole in the hood so that the hole does not move out during the process of tightening the bolts. Once the holes are aligned, you can tighten the mounting bolts.
9. We mount the trim and hood seal in place from below and fix it with plugs to make a smooth hole in it exactly for mounting the Lada Granta holder.
10. We lean the trim against it, mark the outline and cut out a hole with a sharp knife, then tuck everything in carefully and check all the joints. On occasion, you can install a hood deflector.

The gas hood stop on the Lada is installed by true connoisseurs of high-quality tuning. It provides a spectacular, effortless opening of the hood. The stop ensures safety when working in the engine compartment of a car.

Standard support

From the factory, the Vesta hood is fixed with a regular support (rod), which is initially attached to the hood itself. But this is inconvenient for 2 reasons:

1. Sometimes your hands are full and you can hold the hood with one hand, but you can’t install a support with the other.
2. Many people believe that placing the rod on the hood is not entirely correct, since you can inadvertently catch the edge of the wing, which sometimes happens. In this case, it would be more appropriate to place it on the body.

Purchasing and installing hood stops on Vesta solves this problem - with them you only need to slightly push it up and it will lock itself.

Auto-assistance

The central lock installed on the Lada Granta allows the driver to remotely close or open the doors of his car. This can be done either from the remote control or by turning the key in the driver's door lock. When you press the remote control button, an encoded radio signal is emitted, which reaches the receiver located inside the cabin. Having recognized the signal and compared it with the current code, the central locking, using electromagnetic locks, opens the door locks.

The presence of a radio signal in the central locking door opening circuit can lead to malfunctions in its operation if, for example, the car is stopped in an area of ​​strong electromagnetic interference (high-voltage power lines, broadcast towers of radio or television stations, etc.). Also, you need to be careful when handling the control panel, because there is an electronic circuit inside it that can be damaged if you accidentally drop the ignition key on which it is located. And the battery in the remote control must be changed in a timely manner, since if left without power, the electronics will not work.

The driver of a Lada Granta car should also know that when, for any reason, the terminals are removed from the battery and then installed, after some time in place, the central locking stops working fully. When you press the remote control button, only the driver's door will close; the remaining doors will have to be closed manually. To restore normal operation of the central locking, you need to remove the negative terminal of the battery for a couple of minutes, and then put it back in place.

Over time, problems may arise due to the fact that when closing the doors using the remote control, one of the three buttons of the passenger door lock does not go all the way down, which leads to the lock not working and the door remaining unlocked. In order to eliminate this malfunction, you will have to remove the inner door trim and fix the plastic assembly (so that it does not move) located below the lock button, which began to move slightly back and forth in the square hole under the influence of moving rods, when trying to close the door lock. The same problem with locking the door lock is caused by a slight deformation of the rod, onto the threaded part of the end of which the lock button is screwed.

Procedure for installing the gas stop

The sequence of actions is as follows:

1. We open the engine compartment of the Lada Granta and remove the plastic holder in the center of the engine shield, which holds the soundproofing sheet of the engine compartment. Nearby (below) there is another similar internal fastener; several bolts inserted into these holes will hold the lower fastener.
2. We disconnect the plug that holds the plastic engine casing.
3. We screw the mount to the bottom and, having inserted the bolt at 10 on top, tighten the nut from below.
4. We place emphasis on the lower mount.
5. We remove the casing.
6. If there is a hood deflector, we also remove it so that it does not interfere.
7. Place the top bracket directly on the car. It has technological holes into which the upper fastening brackets will be placed. After removing the plugs, we insert the brackets into the slots, screw on the bolts and washers (but do not tighten them).
8. Using a screwdriver, center the hole in the mount with the hole in the hood so that the hole does not move out during the process of tightening the bolts. Once the holes are aligned, you can tighten the mounting bolts.
9. We mount the trim and hood seal in place from below and fix it with plugs to make a smooth hole in it exactly for mounting the Lada Granta holder.
10. We lean the trim against it, mark the outline and cut out a hole with a sharp knife, then tuck everything in carefully and check all the joints. On occasion, you can install a hood deflector.

Lada Kalina Hatchback kalinos › Logbook › Gas stop of the hood

During operation, I constantly come across a dirty edge of the hood inside, i.e. when you need to look under the hood, you always get your hands dirty, and it’s not always convenient to put the hood on the standard stop. Today I came across a Tolyatti company that produces brackets and stops. Now we plan to purchase this emphasis and install it. The asking price is 1,000 rubles and an hour of work to install everything.

8231.0100.04 — LADA-Kalina hood stopInstallation instructionsPurpose of the productThe hood stop with a telescopic pneumohydraulic pusher is installed on all cars of the LADA-Kalina family and is intended to replace the standard stop-stand. Facilitates the procedure for lifting the hood and increases ease of use. Preparation for installation Prepare keys for 10 and 13. If you purchased a stop complete with a front strut extension, then install the stop after installing the extension, following these instructions from point 5. Installation

1. Open the car hood and install the standard stop.2. If your car is equipped with a rough road sensor, then remove it from the right glass of the front strut support and disconnect it from the bracket.3. Install the lower hood support bracket onto the right glass.4. Install the sensor onto this bracket and secure it with the supplied M6.5 bolts. Holding the hood, remove the standard stop-stand and remove the plastic support insert into which the stand hook fits from the hole in the hood.6. Install the bracket on the hood with the eye down, while the lower mounting bolt must be completely unscrewed, and the upper one must be left with 2-3 turns of thread.7. Place the lower end of the mounting plate into the oblong hole in the hood reinforcement.8. Insert and tighten the bottom bolt, rotate the bracket so that the eye is vertical and rests against the top of the slot.9. While holding the bracket in this position, tighten the installed bolts.10. Holding the hood, install the gas stop with the rod down. Remove the standard hood strut from the car.11. Close the hood carefully, without jerking; if everything is assembled correctly, the hood will close freely.12

The hood should be closed from the side of the installed gas stop to prevent distortions of the hood. Attention In winter, a slight decrease in the rigidity of the telescopic stop is allowed, which is due to the properties of the filler gas and is not a defect. If the stop completely loses its elastic properties, replace the stop with a similar one.

Purpose of the hood shock absorber for LADA Granta FL

This hood stop is intended for the “new” Granta, that is, for a car after a facelift that occurred in 2022. The product itself is intended to replace the standard hood strut.

Having installed it, you will be very comfortable opening and closing the hood, keeping both your hands and clothes clean, especially in spring and autumn, in the off-season. It is enough to slightly lift the hood with one hand, and then the gas stop will lift it, lock it and hold it in the open position. A high-quality factory product will serve for a long time in any weather conditions, and it does not require special maintenance or additional modifications.

The hood seal on the grant helps retain engine heat in the engine compartment for longer.

We will purchase a door seal from a VAZ-2108 from the store in advance; we will use it as a grant hood seal.

Don't forget to install a seal at the point of contact between the hood and headlights.

Now on the highway the oncoming flow of air will not blow into the engine compartment and will not cool the engine (especially important in winter!). Also, coupled with the heat and sound insulation of the hood, it allows you to retain engine heat longer and also contributes to its rapid warming up.

The Lada Granta has a number of disadvantages, just like any other car. One of them is the gap between the hood and the body (radiator grille and headlights), through which dirt gets into the engine compartment. This problem can be solved with a simple modification, which consists of installing an additional rubber seal.

On the Lada Granta, an additional hood seal can be installed in several ways in different places. To achieve maximum results, we recommend using all options in combination. You will need to buy VAZ 2108 or VAZ 2109 door seals, and then install it on the radiator grille.

The second attachment point for the additional seal from the “nine” is the hood sound insulation. We snap off the plastic clips, and then place the seal over the edge of the sound insulation.

Another D-shaped seal, which can be purchased at a hardware store, will help supplement the protection of the engine compartment from dirt. We glue it along the edge, the perimeter of the hood.

The process of installing the seal on the Granta hood is also shown in the video:

As a result, the seals will prevent dirt and dust from entering the engine compartment during rainy or dusty weather. Let us remind you that other modification instructions can be found in the Lada Granta Tuning category.

Join our club, share your first impressions of the car, start your blog on our website. In the near future we will hold a competition for the best review of the Lada Granta.

Do you have dirt under the hood? The fact is that the manufacturer, as usual, saved money and did not install a hood seal on the Lada Granta. To get rid of this, we’ll install it ourselves.

To protect the engine compartment from flying dust and dirt, we need a regular door seal from a number eight or ten.

Reviews of companies

• Vladislav: a year ago I installed pushers on Granta at the Alta-Carter service station. The craftsmen did everything quickly and efficiently. My recommendations to Grantmakers.
• Ignat: after purchasing Grants, I replaced the torsion bars on the trunk with gas pushers. I ordered the service from the service station "EVAS-AUTO MSK". They work professionally, they have specialized equipment, they are experts at everything “100”.
• Sergey: my garage comrades recommended installing a gas pusher on the hood. I bought it at the Mnogofactors parts store. Good quality, reasonable prices.
• Gennady: I ​​drove for a year on standard trunk lid torsion bars and decided to switch to oil pushers. I bought it from World of Roads. Six months have passed since installation, no complaints, my recommendations.
• Kirill: I’m leaving my positive review about the auto parts store Prosport Performance OJSC. Professional advice, reasonable prices, bonus discounts.

How to make a cheap gas hood stop for Lada Granta and Kalina with your own hands

In the standard version, the hood of the Kalina and Grants is held in the open position by a stop (popularly called a “poker”). If you often have to look into the engine compartment, the design can be modified by purchasing a special hood shock absorber, the price of which starts from 1,200 rubles. Want to save money? Install the hood gas stop yourself for only 100-200 rubles.

It's no secret that most of Grant's technical solutions migrated to Kalina. The hood of these two models is the same, so installing the hood damper is no different.

Required:

1. Gas stop from Chery with a force of 300 N (catalog number: S21-5605010) - 1 piece;
2. Furniture corner dimensions 60x30x20mm;
3. Bolt M8*16 - 1 pc.;
4. Nut M8 - 1 pc.;
5. Enlarged washer M8 - 1 pc.;
6. M8 washer - 2 pcs.;
7. Connecting nut (barrel) M8*20 - 1 piece;
8. Ball gas stop holder 21080-6308134-00 - 2 pcs.

Installation procedure:

1. Install an M8 bolt with a nut, a barrel and a ball stop holder into the technological hole near the left headlight;
2. Unscrew the hood fastening bolt and install the hood support bracket, having previously made a hole in it for the ball holder;
3. Insert the hood gas stop into the ball holders.

The most difficult part of this modification is finding the hood gas strut bracket. There are two ways to do this:

1. Make it, for example, from a furniture corner measuring 60x40x40mm, cutting off one edge;
2. Use a 20x20mm corner and cut off part of the metal in the engine compartment on which the seal is installed. Otherwise, the corner will rest against it.

As a result, the force of one shock absorber (300 N) will be enough to hold the hood open. The procedure for installing the gas stop is also shown in the video:

Let us remind you that you can “kill two birds with one stone.” To do this, we install a front strut strut, which has the ability to install a gas stop. By the way, an additional hood seal will help keep the engine compartment clean (installation for Granta, for Kalina 2).

Lada Kalina Sedan K-Line › Logbook › Gas stops on the hood. Part 3 (of 3). Completion

The gas struts are installed and are working properly. In previous posts about gas struts, many people noticed the rusty corners. I should paint it

Now it's time to paint)

1. Remove the stops from the car along with the mount.

2. We clean our corners using a drill and iron attachments. To clean the corner from the outside, simply secure it in a vice, but in order to clean the corner from the inside, I screwed in a bolt with a nut, which was safely and firmly clamped in the vice

3. For comparison, I laid out the corner before and after cleaning. The result is very impressive

4. After cleaning, two corners are ready for painting)

5. I decided to remake the upper corners from 3 mm metal, because... The old ones bent well.

6. Here, for comparison, are old ones made of 2 mm metal and new ones, just prepared, made of 3 mm metal.

7. The corners are cleaned and ready for painting.

8. Degrease with solvent 646 and apply primer in one layer.

Review and installation of Granta Liftback fender liners

Lada Granta Podvenechnaya › Logbook › 86. Dream or reality? Gas stop for hood for 200 rubles.

When it comes to cars, I am a confused person and my car stoically endures all my new and new research. At one time I was wildly pressed to install a gas stop on the hood, I was crazy about a similar scheme on my then-grandfather’s 2111 and definitely wanted to do the same for myself, so as not to insert the poker into the stop and not get my hands dirty every time. Distrust in the poker is also caused by the fact that in case of strong wind or the presence of a fool who closes the hood with the stop sticking out, the lid is not so weakly broken. The helicopter-like appearance could still be removed after this, but the pokes on the back side of the inlet hole are no longer there. I was looking for options online and the thought kept haunting me that I saw reviews, and quite often, that the hood stops that are sold in on the Internet, they bend the hood. And my distrust was intensified when I saw the hood of a man who assured me that there was no distortion. I hadn’t even approached the car ten meters, and I had already noticed the distortion, but the owner didn’t see it and wrote to everyone on the Internet that “It’s all hockey, boys.” After this, the percentage of trust in those who wrote that everything was fine with them dropped significantly ( although maybe everything is really fine with you, I hope

) I didn’t want to play Russian roulette for 1.5-3 thousand rubles, it’ll work, it won’t work, I honestly didn’t want to.
There was an option to install double Rival stops, but the price tag is simply outrageous; for two penny stops, sellers ask from 2.5 thousand and above. But then luck turned up, in my VK group, comrade Kostinalex gives me an option on how to assemble a hood stop no worse than the factory one for literally three kopecks. I bow to him for this. His idea was based on the well-known scheme for attaching a gas stop, with the exception that he did not take the stop from a VAZ, which everyone sells, but from a Chinese Cherry car, their stop is both cheaper and weaker, which means bending the hood lid will not be. The power of the VAZ stop is 340N, and that of the Cherry is 300N. Looking ahead, I’ll say that it really doesn’t bend. The gap remains penny to penny the same as before installation. So, for a complete installation we need: Gas stop S21-5605010
- 1 pc.;
Corner 40x60
- 1 piece;
Bolt M8*16
- 1 pc.;
Flat washer enlarged M8
- 1 pc.;
Flat washer M8
- 2 pcs.;
Connecting nut (barrel) M8*20
- 1 pc.;
Nut M8
- 1 pc.;
Ball gas stop holder 21080-6308134-00
- 2 pcs.

I bought the gas stop at Exist, it was the most expensive there, but the pick-up point was in my area of ​​the city. In Yulsan and other stores it was either the same or a little cheaper, but it was about 100 km round trip. Not profitable. According to the fastening method, there is nothing complicated, in the wing, near the headlight itself, there is a technological hole, insert an M8 bolt with a washer on the reverse side ( the hydraulic corrector gets in the way a little

), we put an enlarged washer and a connecting nut on top. For those who don’t understand, watch the video, it’s not long, and again I didn’t take any photos. The whole difficulty was in making the corner of the upper attachment point. Alexey took an ordinary furniture corner 20*20, the first thing I did was take the same one, drill holes in it with an 8-point drill and put everything on the car. It holds the stop - it's great, but it's impossible to close the hood. And so I turned this and that, it turns out that Alexey cut off the little metal on which the seal lies, it is this partition that prevents us from closing the stop. I didn’t want to cut metal under the hood, okay, I sawed down the doors to the music, it’s invisible and doesn’t rust, but here there’s always an open place for all the shit. I began to study the method of attaching this type of stops from the factory. We find out that the factory stops are attached with an angle with an offset center, as in the photo.

Here I made a second assault on the hardware store and took a 40*60 corner from the most suitable one. Its length is perfect, but the edges needed to be reduced. The part that we attach to the hood is 30mm, and the side where we attach the gas stop is 20mm. The excess metal was removed in 15 minutes on a diamond wheel.

The only thing left to do is drill 8mm holes and mount them in place. Now it doesn’t touch anything or rest against anything and the metal is intact.

You just need to paint it in the body color. I painted the first test corner, but the brush from the bottle broke and the paint ran out.

According to the results. The stop reliably holds the lid in the raised state, tested by the stormy wind that happened today during the filming of the video for the channel. Unlike the VAZ stop, the lid does not shoot out, but follows the hand with a pleasant modulation. The gaps, as mentioned above, remained unchanged.

Well, for clarity, video:

For all this, thank you all for your attention and good luck on the road!

Lada Kalina Hatchback › Logbook › Installing Finwhale gas struts on the hood

There were a lot of things planned to be done on Kalina, but the idea of ​​​​installing gas struts on the hood began to be heard only in the last 2 months, all that remained was to go to an automagazine and find a suitable strut. Having studied posts on this topic on Drive, I bought two stops from Niva 2121, as well as Finwhale gas stops suitable for the 10 family, among others.

These stops turned out to be the smallest with the maximum extension of the rod, about 450 mm, and with a compressed rod, about 250 mm. I purchased 4 ready-made corners from OBI; all that remained was to make wider holes for the mounting bolts on the body. The initial version of the installation, without exact dimensions, turned out to be so crude that one of the stops had to be removed for a while, due to a slightly incorrect fastening of the corner on the hood lid; when closing, the stop itself rested on the protruding part of the wing and when the hood lid was completely closed, it started to rise up, which was not good. However, the first pancake, as they say, is lumpy)

In addition, the stop turned out to be too long for the places where it was possible to fasten the corners, so both stops did not extend all the way when opening, and the edge of the hood lid touched the windshield wiper at maximum opening, which was also not good. And at some point, due to high pressure, the end of the stop jumped out of the hinged mount, but it happened once and then luckily it didn’t happen again.

At the end of last week I completed all the fastenings to their logical conclusion. I had to use a trick so as not to drill unnecessary through holes on the edge of the wing; I used a grinder to cut out profile corners 13 cm long.

Thus, without any extra holes, I increased the distance and secured a stop at the other end of the profile corner; on the hood lid I only had to turn the corners towards the inside of the hood so that the stop would lie not on the flat edge of the wing, but on the side of it, thereby not sticking out the lid anymore hood

Criterias of choice

It would seem that such a simple accessory would be easy to choose. However, it is necessary to take into account some features so as not to be disappointed with the purchase later.

High-quality products are made only from high-strength steel, which guarantees their reliability. They should also be galvanized and powder coated on top - this will ensure no corrosion in the future, regardless of weather conditions.

Installing stops does not require dismantling the standard rod, which is used as a backup option, as well as changes in the design of the car or independent modifications. Therefore, there is no need to worry about losing your right to warranty service.

Quality products are guaranteed for a period of 3 years.

Installing a trunk lid shock absorber on a Lada Granta

Trunk lid gas struts

1. Place the car on a level platform and release the handbrake.
2. We open the trunk lid and support the structure with a wooden stand to prevent any inclination.
3. Remove the two torsion bars from the rear side of the trunk lid mount.
4. We fix metal supports with rubber bumpers onto the standard mounting arches.
5. There are holes on the side of the interior wall; screw on the lower support mount.
6. We put on the shock absorber.

By analogy, we will equip the opposite side.

The installation of trunk shock absorbers on the Granta Liftback is somewhat different from the Sedan configuration. We install accessories in place of standard ones. What makes the new pushrods different is the pre-installed springs at the end of the cylinder. When the trunk lid is lowered, the springs prevent it from slamming shut and lift the structure a few centimeters.

To keep it clean under the hood! — logbook of Lada Granta 2190 PORT 2012 on DRIVE2

I bought a seal kit for the 2108 a long time ago in order to put it under the hood to keep the engine clean.

The engine was also washed before the start of winter.

and today it was time to install the seal itself. The topic, in principle, is not new, but I will share how I did it. I installed it on the hood itself, on the trim, as well as to the edge of the radiator grille and to the headlights. It is attached to the hood trim quite easily, the clips are removed one by one and the seal is gradually tried on and attached.

It is better to remove the clips, after installing the seal, return them to their place

It opens easily, locks tightly, and cuts easily. At first I wanted to install it from edge to edge, but I saw that there was quite a lot left and let it all go along the perimeter of the sheathing.

It also fits very well to the grille. But when I installed it, I loosened the bolts so that the seal would fit straight into place.

And the final touch.

Everything is ready, I’ll see if there is any effect.
