Installing thresholds on lada granta

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.

Do-it-yourself installation of plastic thresholds on the Lada Granta

AvtoVAZ offers standard linings for all Grant trim levels. The cladding is a panel made of ABC plastic, the kit includes: a set of clips and self-tapping screws. Catalog numbers for original spare parts:

1118-5109078 and 2170-5109078 – rear right panel;
1118-5109079 and 2170-5109079 – left;
1118-5109076 – front right trim;
1118-5109076 – front left.

The rear panels are equally suitable for Grants and Priora, Kalina. Spare parts can also be used for VAZ 2108, 2109 models.

Self-installation takes up to 20 minutes per threshold and does not require special equipment. tool. To work you will need:

set of overlays, cost of original replicas from 500 rubles;
crosshead screwdriver;
18 self-tapping screws with a length of at least 3 cm;
plastic clips – 18 pcs.;
knife, flat screwdriver.

Experts recommend preparing more clips, since the fasteners are consumer goods and often do not meet the requirements; when screwing in a self-tapping screw, every fifth clip cracks.

The process of replacing a simple threshold trim step by step:

Pull the door seal out of its seat near the threshold.
Attach the standard carpet to the thresholds using steel brackets. Using a knife or flat-head screwdriver, carefully bend and pull out each bracket.
Bend back the standard carpet, pull out the standard threshold.
Check the condition of the bottom, if there is rust, correct the defect.
Insert plastic clips into the rectangular slots; there are a total of five holes for clips around the perimeter of the front door threshold. The hole, which is located vertically under the panel, comes from the factory with a plug already installed.
Use a knife to make holes in the carpet in the area of the installed clips, make sure that the slot is rectangular and of a suitable diameter, the clip should completely fit through the carpet with its top.
Install the door seal in its original place.
Attach a new threshold, try on the combination of screws and clips.
Screw the screws into the clips. The first screw to be screwed is the self-tapping screw, which is aligned with the stand. Do not over-tighten the bolt as this may damage the plastic clip.
Screw all the screws halfway, gradually pressing the panel against the threshold.

Installation of the trim under the remaining doors is similar.

An accessory such as body kits or plastic sills, which are installed on the Granta for painting, can be additionally tuned with linings to protect the interior from dirt and sand. The principle of installing plastic removable thresholds differs from installing linings; repairs can be done independently. For installation, choose stickers or metal plates for self-tapping screws.

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.

What are the thresholds for the Lada Granta?

Regular plastic models, durable steel analogues, as well as designer products are produced. Grant's standard plastic door sills attract buyers with their low cost.

With careful use, the elements will last for more than a year. But stainless steel linings, although they have a higher price, can last several times longer. Their only drawback is the appearance of small scratches on the surface a few years after installation.

Special designer products are also very practical, but have an original and stylish look. For the most part, for the new Lada Granta, door sill covers from private developers may have an attractive glowing emblem or name.

Additionally, the elements are coated with a special compound that prevents minor damage to the steel surface. True, such accessories are quite expensive and require time-consuming installation.

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.

Dirt is carried into the interior on shoes - a natural process. To protect the body and trim from dirt, the car contains mats and door sills made of polymer materials. And if modern cars have floor mats by default, they are often left without protection, especially in budget trim levels. In this case, you will have to install them yourself.

Types of door sills for Grants

Cars from domestic manufacturers are delivered incompletely and with defects, which the owner has to eliminate on his own. Modern VAZ products, although different from their Soviet-made counterparts, still have a lot of minor flaws. In this regard, foreign cars have gone far ahead. On Grant, the thresholds are made of easily soiled material that quickly becomes dirty. To avoid this, you will have to install them yourself. The domestic market of auto accessories has more than one thousand items, for every color and taste. Car door sills can be divided into 3 main groups:

Plastic;
Decorative;
Chrome plated.

What's the difference? Let's try to figure it out. Plastic elements come our way most often. They are inexpensive, and some cars are equipped with them from the factory. The manufacturing quality of such linings is quite high. The features of the plastic from which the linings are made allow them to absorb impacts on the body sills and leave the factory paint layer intact. If it receives a strong blow, the plastic takes everything on itself and, in the worst case, it simply breaks. In the warm season this is unlikely, but in winter it is a common occurrence. The fact is that the plastic from which these protective elements are made changes its properties in the cold and becomes more brittle. But it is better to replace the trim than to repair damage to the surface of the body. Even if the paint layer can be restored, almost nothing can be done about the dent.

In car dealerships there are linings made of durable shockproof plastic, but finding them is quite problematic: demand greatly exceeds supply.

Decorative thresholds appeared on mass sale not so long ago. Basically, they are made of fiberglass: an elastic material that is resistant to abrasion. Although fiberglass is susceptible to cold and hardens in the cold, it is more resistant than plastic elements in the lower price segment. They are intended not so much for protection, but to complement the design of the car. Still, the material is universal and lends itself well to painting. Here you can also find overlays with various bells and whistles, such as backlighting. It looks very interesting, especially in the dark. The only disadvantage of luminous overlays is the fragility of the design. And they will have to be washed much more often than utilitarian plastic.

Chrome door sills for Lada Grante are the most expensive option. This set looks very presentable, because they are mostly made of stainless steel.

Steel ones are the most durable of all and are less susceptible to mechanical damage, and they do not react at all to aggressive environments (road reagents, dust and dirt). Made of stainless steel, they are very elastic, thanks to which they absorb almost any impact. Such protection is not cheap: steel linings are the most expensive on the domestic market of automobile accessories. Steel allows you to apply chrome or nickel to the surface, this makes the car look more attractive. What lining is best for the Grant? We think it's plastic. Kalina is equipped with plastic protection from the factory. And practice of use shows that plastic elements cope with their task perfectly.

By the way, there is a tendency among car owners to use overlays from Kalina on Grant. You can use this experience if you haven’t found anything suitable in the auto store.

Plastic covers are quite cheap and very practical.

What are the internal door sill trims for?

Door sill covers for Lada Grants primarily perform a protective function. With their help, you will protect the paint layer from mechanical damage and prevent road reagents, dirt and sand from getting under the carpet in the cabin. The fact is that passengers, when boarding, very often touch the floor covering in the cabin with their shoes, which is why particles of the road surface and other things that should not get there get there. If this is ignored, over time the body floor will begin to rust and deteriorate. And protection has no less priority: this part of the body most often comes into contact with shoes and chips, scratches and other defects appear in the area, worsening the condition of the metal of the body.

There are no special lotions to protect the interior of the body from moisture and dirt, and therefore it is simply necessary to install door sill covers on the Lada Granta.

Another function they perform can be considered aesthetic. And now there are many options for decorative elements in car dealerships: simple, stylized for a specific car, chrome-plated, luminous, etc. There are so many of them, it would be difficult to list them all. In small towns there is little choice, and therefore very often car owners find a wide range in online stores. The difference in relief, colors, branded logos of manufacturers - all this makes threshold covers not only a protective element, but also a decorative one. You can always choose a set that matches the color of the interior.

Do-it-yourself installation of plastic thresholds on the Lada Granta

You ordered the treasured thresholds from the store, picked them up and are about to install them. To do this, you will need the following set of tools:

Crosshead screwdriver;
Slotted screwdriver;
A stationery or pocket knife (the latter is preferable);
Wire cutters;
Self-tapping screws or self-tapping screws (if not included, select your own).

First of all, we will remove the protective rubber bands that seal the connection between the door and the thresholds. Afterwards you will need to detach the small plastic element that protects a small area on the inside. The factory carpet is attached with ordinary construction staples; they will have to be bent using a slotted screwdriver or knife (be extremely careful). Having folded back part of the interior covering, find the standard rectangular holes. Clips (a kind of plastic sleeve) are placed in these holes. Using a knife, you will need to make slits in the trim in places where the carpet covers the holes. At this stage, you can already return the door seal to its proper place. All that remains is to figure out how the trim will be located on the threshold and simply screw it on using self-tapping screws or screws prepared in advance. Do not overdo it: it is very easy to twist the self-tapping screw, you should not tighten it too much. Otherwise, you will have to remove the clip and replace it with a new one (a twisted one will not hold the fastener, and such fasteners will be of no use).

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.

Reviews

№	Positive
1.	Alexander , 32 years old: of course, there was a catastrophic lack of additional inserts in the standard configuration. After two years of using the car, the paint began to peel off. On the recommendation of friends, I installed overlays from Lada Kalina. They are a couple of centimeters longer, but the fastenings are the same.
2.	Kirill , 32 years old: after buying a car from the showroom, I installed polymer door sills. Now the paint will not be damaged.
3.	Mikhail , 41 years old: a garage friend bought stainless steel pads and installed them with double-sided tape. It looks beautiful. I did it by analogy. No complaints, I'm happy.
4.	Vitaly , 35 years old: despite the negative comments about the thresholds from Kalina, I installed them for myself and they fit well. I sawed off two centimeters in length.
5.	Vyacheslav , 44 years old: on the recommendation of his comrades, he glued the stainless steel overlays onto double-sided tape. My advice to motorists.
Negative
1.	Victor , 29 years old: dissatisfied with the quality of manufacturing of domestic plastic pads. There is no money to buy stainless steel. I heard that you can insert it from a second generation Opel Astra, albeit cut a little in length. I will try.
2.	Vasily , 41 years old: despite the wide range of accessories, there is no good quality. Instead of wasting money, I installed rubber pads, having previously cut them according to the blank.
3.	Ignat , 39 years old: when buying pads, I preferred stainless steel, I didn’t like plastic. Although I overpaid a little, I am confident in its practicality.

Conclusion Despite a number of negative reviews, it is necessary to install door sill covers. As for the cost, we start from the size of the allocated budget for accessories. Obviously, we consider plastic as the best option. We also take into account the temperature conditions in which the machine will be operated.

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.

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.

Why install Granta door sill covers and which products should you choose?

The main task of the overlays is to protect the transition from the threshold to the floor of the cabin. The driver and passengers will no longer cling to the mat. At the same time, water in the area of the thresholds will not flow to the base.

For modern Granta, sill covers can increase the life of the car and protect it from unnecessary damage and rust formation. The elements will also give the vehicle a more stylish and solid look.

When choosing accessories, you should pay attention to the activity of car use. If the owner rarely travels by transport, then plastic door sill covers for the Lada Granta will do just fine, which will save personal funds.

If the car is used for work or daily personal trips, then the installation of stronger and more durable elements will be required. These can be ordinary steel plates or designer accessories.

The advantages of the last two types are their high wear resistance. In most cases, the linings will serve the owner as long as the car itself. They do not require special care, but you need to remember the need for professional installation of designer products.

Grant's original illuminated door sills need to be connected to power. Otherwise, the LEDs simply won't work.

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.

How to install the overlay - instructions

The cover can be for both Granta and Kalina, although most often available for Kalina and for some reason gray in color, although the interior on all cars is initially black. But those who made the cladding exactly gray note that scratches are less visible on it than on black, which is also a positive thing.

And if parts are not available in stores, the Internet will always save you, where there are a huge number of specialized sites where you can order parts and receive them in a fairly short time.

The only thing that can increase the cost of your upgrade is replacing the central floor lining, since the central lining alone will cost about 500 rubles. Many people don’t touch this part at all, since time and money costs increase, and this has absolutely no effect on the cleanliness and neatness of the interior.

What do you need?

4 sets of trims, 2 for front sills and 2 for rear;
16 self-tapping screws;
16 bushings.

Time, tools and just a little skill in working with machines. It will take no more than an hour to install the cladding, including time to travel to the store to get the necessary parts. Also, during work, you won’t have to cut anything, trim it, etc., all elements fit perfectly in the form in which they are sold, which happens quite rarely, and allows you to significantly reduce the time of repair work.

How does the replacement process work?

We start by lifting the threshold trim from the sill side. To do this, it is best to use a flat screwdriver; it will be more convenient for it to pry off the edge of the upholstery. Once the sheathing is lifted, the plastic profile can be removed. This can be done using the same screwdriver or simply with your hands, since the profile is not secured in any special way, but is simply held on by brackets. After the profile is deleted, you can throw it away, since you definitely won’t need it anymore.

Next, we install plastic plugs in the designated (but not sealed at the factory) holes, and attach the purchased cladding to the threshold for which it is intended.

We perform the same operation for the remaining three thresholds. Some car owners, who most of the time drive alone in the car, or with a maximum of one passenger, even install the trim only on the front sills, since the carpet is behind, and so no one smears or damages them. As for AVTOVAZ’s own comments on the constant complaints about defects, and specifically about the lack of floor sill trim in the basic configuration, it was stated that “the latches of the floor sill trim can significantly reduce the repairability of the car.” Based on this answer, you can understand that in the near future no one will deal with this problem, so you will have to, as before, do everything yourself in the garage. In any case, all products of the domestic automobile industry are constantly in need of minor modifications. Although there are some changes in this sense, you can, for example, when purchasing a car, additionally stipulate the presence of sill trim or buy a Luxury model, and then the modifications that you really need to do will be an order of magnitude less.

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.

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.

Preparatory stage before installing thresholds on the Lada Granta Liftback

Required tools:

Phillips head screwdriver;
a set of linings, the type is chosen by the owner based on preferences;
plastic pistons (at “6”) and cone-shaped screws with a flat head for screwing in in the amount of 16 pieces, 4 for each of the thresholds;
stationery knife, side cutters;
doorway seal, subject to damage (wear) of the previous one.

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.

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.

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.
