Body dimensions are an important parameter when selecting a car. It must be taken into account depending on the purpose for which the vehicle is intended to be used and in what driving conditions. A large car is safer for country trips, but more difficult to drive in the city and less maneuverable. Of course, wheel size is also important. After all, the vehicle’s cross-country ability, its stability, as well as the maximum load it can withstand without the risk of sinking to the asphalt depend on it. The dimensions of the Lada Vesta make this sedan or station wagon an optimal option for city driving, as well as comfortable for country trips on well-paved roads.

Damage to the windshield on Lada Vesta cars
The windshield of a car is considered one of its important and also expensive elements.
The fact is that the windshield is made using a special technology, primarily for the safety of the driver and passengers of the car. When driving a car, situations sometimes occur when stones, bolts and other road debris fly out from under the wheels of oncoming or passing vehicles. In most cases, the windshield will withstand the impact of such objects and will protect the safety of the occupants of the car, but the glass itself will look completely unsightly, chips and cracks will appear on it. The driver can, of course, continue to drive with cracks and chips, but most likely this will cause great discomfort, especially if the damage occurred on the driver’s side, not to mention the fact that according to GOST, with damage to the windshield specifically on the driver’s side, you must be refused during maintenance until the malfunction is eliminated.
If small cracks and chips appear that are caused by small stones, it is advisable to think about repairing the windshield, but this must be done as soon as possible, since even the smallest crack will certainly “creep” and will not stop until it reaches the boundaries of the glass or other obstacle . You can stop this process using improvised means, for example, sealing the crack with tape, but do not forget that this is only a temporary measure and if you are determined to repair the glass, then you need to go to the service center as soon as possible. You can familiarize yourself with the conditions for carrying out restoration work, as well as their examples, at the link: https://avto-vesna.ru/remontstekol.
If the windshield is damaged on a larger scale, you will most likely have to resort to a complete replacement. For example, in the photo above, the windshield of a Lada Vesta sedan car, which took the blow of a massive tree branch. As a result of the impact, dozens of cracks spread across the entire plane of the windshield; repairs in this case are not advisable and can reach the cost of new glass, not to mention the fact that it will not be possible to restore it to its original state.
Windshield replacement under warranty
By the way, if your car is under warranty, and the damage to the windshield was not caused by mechanical impact (there are no chips), try contacting an authorized dealer on a warranty basis. Most likely, your request will be satisfied and your cracked windshield will be replaced completely free of charge.
There are known cases of replacing the windshield on Lada Vesta cars even in the presence of mechanical damage. The fact is that on the first cars the wipers were not of the correct design and over time they rubbed the windshield (it is these mechanical damages that we are talking about). AvtoVAZ recognized the manufacturing defect and replaced the glass for the customers who contacted us.

How to change the windshield on a Lada Vesta
The car owner’s task is to select a high-quality replacement and decide how to fix the problem - do the work himself or contact a service station.
Below we will look at step-by-step instructions on which windshield to buy for the Lada Vesta, and how to properly replace it.
Product selection
Lada Vesta is a Russian car that is deservedly among the TOP sales and is in demand among car owners. But during operation, various troubles are possible, including damage to the windshield. In such a situation, the question arises of which product to choose for replacement.
Main options by manufacturer:
1. China - FYG. 2. RF - Bor, KMK, AGC.
When purchasing a product, you must take into account the following equipment:
1. No additional features. KMK produces windshields that have space for a rear view fastener, and in FYG and AGG this element is installed. 2. Heating. The AGC provides heating for the Lada Vesta windshield, mirror fixation and connection contacts. 3. Rain sensor. KMC is considered the best solution here. 4. Heating and rain sensor. If you need both functions at the same time, a product from AGC is suitable.
If you need to replace a Lada Vesta windshield with a rain sensor, you need to stock up on tape. A product from BMW 2007-2012 is suitable here.
As a rule, car owners are looking for products without heating.
To speed up your search, here are a few articles:
• FYG 4592 A.G.S. It is resistant to scratches and other defects, and is supplied to the assembly lines of cars of more expensive brands. An analysis of reviews from ordinary people indicates a high risk of defects. For example, there may be distortion or mismatch in size. • AGC 4592AGS - products of average quality, from the Bor Glass Factory. • 8450007323 - original version, which is installed at the factory. • KMK Glass 4592AGNBL. If you believe the comments, the products are of worse quality when compared to AGS.
As soon as the windshield for the Lada Vesta has been selected, you can begin replacing it.
When to change
There are two situations when it is impossible to do without installing a new product - leakage and damage.
Let's take a closer look:
1. A leak appears, the Lada Vesta windshield seal is installed incorrectly. In this situation, the seal deteriorates, causing water to enter the vehicle. If an untreated area is identified, you can fill the “gap” with sealant. If this method does not help, a replacement will be required. Please note that there is a warranty. In this case, you need to contact your dealer and have them do the work.
2. Damage. Chips and cracks are a common problem that can be fixed by repairing the damaged area. But here it is important to look at the type of damage and the size of the crack. the Lada Vesta windshield . A similar situation occurs with scratches. Polishing is used here, but it is not always effective. Chips need to be repaired, because if you delay the work, you won’t be able to solve the problem with “little loss.” There are situations when the surface is cut while driving along the highway. In this case, restoration is useless and the only way out is to buy a windshield for the Lada Vesta and change it.
If the check shows that replacement is not possible, you can get to work. You can perform the necessary steps yourself without going to a service station.
Preparing for work
Before replacing, it is important to buy the product, prepare the equipment and tools.
The set of necessary things includes:
1. “Lobovukha” for Lada Vesta. When purchasing, you must take into account the light transmittance. The maximum permissible parameter is 1. Inspect the condition of the product. It should not have cracks, chips or other defects. 2. Tool - a flat blade screwdriver, a mounting gun, a construction knife, a cut string. 3. Material - degreaser, primer, special type of gel and Velcro tape. Before installation, pay attention to the size of the Lada Vesta windshield. Just in case, it is better to check this parameter when purchasing to avoid the need for replacement in the future. Dimensions - 107.6 cm by 46.8 cm.
Replacing the windshield on a Lada Vesta: step-by-step instructions
Replacement work involves several stages - removing the old element, preparing the surface and installing a new part. Let's look at each of the stages in more detail.
Removal
When dismantling the old windshield on a Lada Vesta, start by removing the seal from the outside. Use a flat blade screwdriver.
Then proceed like this:
• remove moldings and windshield wipers; • remove the cards on the front pillars; • remove the sealing element from inside the car; • unscrew the screws holding the visors and remove them; • discard wires and sensors (if they are installed on the windshield); • make a hole in the sealant, thread a string through the hole and stretch it around the entire perimeter (make handles first so as not to cut yourself).
Use two people when cutting the sealant. In this case, one person is inside the car, and the second is outside. Be careful not to damage the car's upholstery. Once all the way around the perimeter has been completed, remove the old glass.
Preparation
Lada Vesta windshield without problems, prepare a recess for the new product. To do this, remove the old sealant using a construction knife.
Next, do the following:
• make sure that the size of the Lada Vesta “lobovuha” is suitable; • make the necessary notes, if required; • organize a small stand (for example, cover the hood with soft material); • treat the joint with a degreaser; • apply primer to the contact area (both sides).
Installation and connection of window regulators
If for replacement they take exactly the same part as is on the Lada Vesta, then the new module is connected along the laid route. But when the window regulator is different or there was none at all, first they study the connection diagram and pinout of the ECU.
How to install a new window regulator:
- Remove the door card.
- Disconnect the battery.
- Disconnect the power supply to the cigarette lighter and the instrument lighting on the panel.
- Secure the closed glass with wide tape.
- Disconnect the wires from the old window raising mechanism and remove the assembly.
- Insert a new part into the inner cavity of the door, secure it with two studs, and secure with nuts.
- Align the installed window regulator linkage with the window strip. To do this, you need to supply power from the battery.
- When the elements are combined, they must be bolted together, and then lubricate all mating parts.
Now all that remains is to connect the rear windows on Vesta to the button. To do this, lay wiring from the door to the rack using technological holes. Next, the cords are pulled under the dashboard. The cross-section of the wires must be designed for the power and load of the ESP drive.
Power must be taken from the cigarette lighter. Next, check the operation of the circuit: turn on the side lights with the ignition key: at the same time, the backlight of the window lifter buttons should work.
Each glass is checked separately, and the door trim is replaced.
Lada Vesta windshield - replacement instructions, manufacturers
The windshield on a Lada Vesta car is the familiar triplex, that is, laminated glass with a film inside. Plus, heating elements were added for heating the glass. Technologies are becoming more complex. Heated glass is more technologically advanced, and therefore more expensive. Price starts from 9,000 rubles plus the upper rubber band and windshield seal costs a couple of hundred rubles. Installation on one hundred will cost from 2000 rubles and more.
Car windows initially performed only basic functions, protecting people inside from bad weather and headwinds. They were designed to provide an overview, create lighting in the cabin during the daytime, and at the beginning they were no different from ordinary window ones, and accordingly they could easily break, break, or crack.
Over time, car manufacturers began to pay attention to road deaths. The first desire was to invent any methods that would increase the safety of the driver and passengers. The glass has been made more durable - to the point that it is not at all easy to break it with ordinary blows, and if this can be done, it will shatter into tiny “lumps” that cannot seriously injure a person.
The windshield on the Lada Vesta is a reliable element of the body - it is made according to new standards. Even with a Lada Vesta SV, SV Cross, you don’t have to worry about the safety of the car when conquering the countryside - the car is tightly protected and will withstand any load. The windshield on a Lada Vesta car is a guarantee of safety. However, chips and cracks from stones have not been canceled. When you leave the city, driving opposite a Kamaz truck, you cannot avoid them.
Buying a transparent frontal element for the Lada Vesta Cross and SV is not difficult; the need for a purchase may arise at the most inconvenient moment - one trip along the highway is enough for a chip or crack to appear. To replace the windshield, we recommend going to a car repair shop, but you can do it yourself by starting the work carefully. Read the article to the end and find out how to do it; if something is not clear, ask in the comments.
Cabin space volume
The solid internal size of the model’s body accommodates an equally spacious interior, inside which can accommodate 5 people of normal build. The width of the cabin allows for free seating of 3 passengers in the rear. These interior dimensions are close to the parameters of a class C car. How spacious the Vesta interior is can be seen from the following dimensions:
- height from the driver's seat to the interior ceiling - 939-990mm;
- height from rear seat to ceiling – 896mm;
- distance from the back of the driver's seat to the rear seat - 226mm;
- front seat cushion length – 450mm;
- rear seat cushion length – 480mm.
Lada Vesta standard windshield – article number, price
The standard windshield for Vesta is manufactured at the Bor plant in the Nizhny Novgorod region. It is multi-layered and can crumble with a strong impact. The top layer of the material is a little weak; this deficiency is revealed even in the first hours of operation of the new Vesta. The part itself is green - to darken it a little, making your stay in the car more comfortable - the air will heat up longer.
The price of a windshield assembly with stops and plate is about 9,000 rubles. It is sold under article number 8450007323. Whenever replacing glass on a Lada Vesta, you need to remember about the glass seals - “rubber bands”, which will protect the cracks from dirt, dust, and increase the tightness of the interior.
The rubber seal for the windshield for the Lada Vesta received the article number M01VXSU00130, it costs about 300-350 rubles. Also purchase the lower part of the connection between the part and the body - a plastic frill with a mesh is placed under the hood, costing 2,400 rubles, article number - 8450008090.
Normal without heating
The choice without heating and a rain sensor is a personal choice. This standard solution is a way to save money, but additional functions are favored not only by the desire to get comfort from operating the car, but also by pragmatism.
Heated glass
A heated windshield for the Lada Vesta can be installed, and after purchase it can be installed and connected correctly. This function - heating - greatly saves car owners in winter, when to clear snow they have to hit the windows with a hard brush, but in the cold they are not as strong as they might seem.
What tire size
Previously, the tire standard for AvtoVAZ passenger cars was within the range of 13–14 inches. With the advent of Vesta, we started talking about size 15, and after a while, the wheel size approached R16 and R17. The Lada Vesta Concept's wheel size has reached R18.
Thus, the most common tire size for Lada Vesta is:
- 175/70/R 15;
- 205/60/R 15;
- 185/60/R 16;
- 195/55/R 16;
- 175/55/R 17;
- 195/50/R 17.
Where the first indicator is the width of the tire itself, the second is the profile (height) of the rubber. To calculate it, you need to calculate the second one as a percentage from the first parameter, for example, 55%. The resulting value will be the rubber profile.
The last number is the most understandable - this is the diameter of the tire rims in inches. 2.54x17=43.18, that is, 43 cm and a little more. There are additional designations besides these standard sizes, for example, it can be designated as follows: 195/55/R16 88Н, but they are not considered within the scope of this article.
Closers
Side window closers for the Lada Vesta car are a modification that allows you to protect the car. If the alarm system on your car is compatible with the operation of the door closer, you can install it yourself - the circuit will be waiting for you in the kit. When the car is locked, the automatic closer is activated and raises all the windows so that intruders cannot get inside the car.
There are several modifications of door closers suitable for Vesta:
- RWC702 – front only, 670 rubles.
- FWC722 – front only, 1130 rubles.
- RWC704 – all, 1020 rubles.

What do the inscriptions on the glass mean - decoding
Special markings on the windows for Vesta will help you determine whether you have received the correct copy. This marking is divided into several types. The first one shows the name of the manufacturer, then comes the one that indicates which body type the part is suitable for:
- SD – sedan;
- UN – universal;
- HB – five-door hatchback;
- KP – coupe;
- GR - truck;
- VN – SUV;
- KB – convertible;
- PIC – pickup truck.
*D is the designation of the number of doors. For example, 4D is a sedan, 5D is a five-door hatchback.
This is followed by the series designation – SER.
The next step is the type of steering wheel.
- LVRUL - left-hand drive car;
- PRUL - right-hand drive car.
Next comes the color (shade) of the glass and sun protection coating:
- ZL – green (ZLZL – additionally with a green stripe; ZLGL – additionally with a blue stripe);
- SR - gray;
- PR – transparent (PRGL – additionally with a blue stripe; PRZL – additionally with a green stripe);
- BR – bronze;
- GL – blue;
- PR – dark.
- DD – rain sensor;
- TRIPL – triplex (three layers);
- OTKR – opening;
- DV – double;
- ST PAK – double-glazed window;
- EO – electric heating (heating);
- B/EO – without heating;
- STOP – installation of a brake light on the rear transparent shield;
- DZ – fog sensor.
The following designations may appear:
- Tinted – green athermal glass, additionally – heat-absorbing property;
- Lamisafe – multi-layer.
The manufacturer does not always indicate all the details in the labeling, but he must indicate the type of glass, additional functions and equipment.
Basic faults
The first important malfunction is the incompatibility of the windshield with the windshield wipers. The standard wipers managed to cause a lot of trouble for the owners of the first Vestas.
- Firstly, they are quite short for a large transparent shield and do not cover its entire area, but only part of it.
- Secondly, the rubber on the wipers quickly hardens in sub-zero temperatures, which is why the area of contact with the windshield is sharply reduced to a minimum - the effectiveness of such work is extremely low.
The second problem is scratches on the side windows. The seals on the doors are very tight against the windows. When grains of sand, ordinary dust and dirt appear between them, vertical scratches appear on the sides. Replacing and slightly modifying the rubber seals on the doors can save you from this.
The problem with the windshield is not only due to chipping. If you hear a squeaking sound from the front, the culprit may be the upper rubber seal. If the interior seal is broken, the windshield will have to be replaced.
