Which seats are suitable for the VAZ 2114, or how to improve existing ones

Every car owner wants their car to be comfortable. Seats are the first point in guaranteeing comfort in the cabin. In modern foreign cars you can often find anatomical designs with heating, a large number of adjustments for the driver and passenger. Work is underway to improve designs on new domestic cars. But owners of old brands can only look for an alternative. Let's take a closer look at which seats are suitable for the VAZ 2114.

Installation of seats from a foreign car on a VAZ 2114:

What other changes can be made

In order to make your standard “seven” original and different from the rest, you can not only change the seats. If you have enough imagination and skill, you can do a lot. So, for example, instead of a standard instrument panel, install a panel from a GAZ 3110, modernize the interior lighting system, modernize the heating system and modify the stove, install power windows, reupholster the interior, install lighting on the doors, tune the standard beard and much more.

VAZ 2107 is an incredibly popular car among the people. It is often called the “Russian Mercedes” or “I want to be a Mercedes” for its characteristic radiator grille and the general appearance of the front of the car. This involuntarily provokes car owners to tune their cars. When you decide to change anything in your car, remember that installing non-original seats may raise questions from regulatory authorities, since such manipulations are considered changes to the design of the car.

Rear passenger seats

How to remove the rear pair of passenger seats? Removing seats in VAZ models, starting from 2108 and ending with 2115, is done in exactly the same way. The set of tools remains unchanged from the first example. Here is the sequence of actions:

1. The rear seats do not need to be moved, they are fixed. To access the fastenings, use a flat screwdriver to pry up the protective pad just below the seat cushion.
2. First, unscrew the two bolts that hold the pillows on the side. Here you need a 10mm head.
3. Next, the same fastenings must be removed in the lower part of the seat backs using exactly the same key.
4. After unscrewing all the bolts, you can safely remove the rear seat.

Ford or Audi A4 series rear seats are recommended as replacements. Why these options? They will require minimal correction of the frame and fastenings from you, in addition, they will fit perfectly into the interior of the cabin.

Of course, you can choose other seat options, but it will require more modifications, parts and time to properly attach the new passenger seats.

Secure fixation

When choosing new seats for your VAZ 2114, pay attention not only to their price and convenience, but also to the method of fastening. Some seat models are very difficult to fit into the cabin, although they may suit your preferences

Improperly securing the seats can cause injury, especially at high speeds or in accidental collisions. If you have found a suitable model of seat, but it is not securely attached to its future installation location, take the car to a workshop where all the work will be carried out for you.

As mentioned earlier, it is better to take the recommended models of seats from foreign cars for replacement from Ford or Audi. Many drivers have noticed that Opel seats are also excellent for replacement and require a minimum of additions. Even chairs from Hyundai can become a more or less comfortable and quite acceptable option, if you slightly alter the design of the frame and fastenings.

What seats fit on the VAZ 2114 without modifications?

The most budget option for replacing seats is to choose VAZ models. On 2114 they install seats from nine, ten and other models.

The UNP company produces anatomical and sports seats for VAZ models. The seats are made of quality materials and are sold complete with mountings and accessories.

If you install a UNP seat for the driver, there will be no legroom for the rear passenger.

The Viller company offers sports and anatomical seats for all VAZ models, including 2114. The seats are certified according to GOST. They relieve stress from the spine and have enhanced lateral support. There are heated seat options.

Comfortable and high-quality seats from foreign cars for the VAZ 2114 can be supplied from Audi A4, Hyundai Lantra, Opel Vectra, Opel Astra and Ford. If you are going to disassemble, you need to measure the dimensions of the seats and photograph the mounting points so that you can compare and make the right choice. It is better to select seats from a donor car with the same external dimensions as 2114.

Ford seats are sometimes too wide. If you install such seats on a car, it may be difficult to pass inspection.

If the seats are adjustable, you need to check their condition at the place of purchase.

When considering the options for which foreign car the seats for the VAZ 2114 are suitable for, keep in mind that for a comfortable fit it is better for a fist to fit between your head and the ceiling of the cabin.

Before making the final choice of a seat, you can try it out and check for ergonomics by sitting in the cabin of the same car as the donor car.

General selection conditions

1. Condition: new or used. New seats are more expensive, but they will last longer. Every year, thanks to modern technology, seats become more comfortable and have new functions. Used seats can be purchased at car dismantling yards.
2. Manufacturing company. The 2114 fits both seats from other VAZ models and domestic brands, as well as seats from foreign cars.
3. Additional options. Headrests, armrests, and lift make the seat more comfortable and safer.
4. Completeness. Basically, the availability of fasteners and accessories needs to be clarified if used seats are purchased.

Choice of seats for VAZ 2114

What are the installation recommendations?

Before installing more comfortable seats, it is necessary to carry out a number of dismantling works and, first of all, remove the old seats. To carry out all the work you will need open-end and ring wrenches, a grinder, as well as ordinary plumbing tools and a drill. The dismantling procedure is as follows:

When the bottom of the Niva is completely exposed, measurements and markings should be carefully taken.

If you focus on the middle between the central tunnel and the threshold, you may end up with the seat offset relative to the steering wheel. Driving in this position will not bring you pleasure, no matter how comfortable it is to sit in the new chair. On the passenger side, such precision is not needed.

New seats should be prepared before installation. This includes cleaning, washing the trim, lubricating the mechanisms and, if necessary, minor repairs. Sometimes you have to move the mechanical backrest position adjuster to the other side, as with the seats from the Ford Focus II. In other cases, you must first cut off the old brackets from the slide.

Installation can be carried out without welding if the design and location of the attachment points allows. Mazda seats are placed on skids on profile steel pipes, screwed to the bottom at existing points. To do this, the pipes must be marked and drilled in the right places, and the hole in the upper wall is made larger in order to insert the union head there. The ends of the pipes are cut at an angle of 45°. Then the slides are attached to the profile with self-tapping screws so that the caps of the latter do not interfere with the longitudinal movement of the seat.

If there is a total mismatch of the attachment points, it is necessary to use a welding machine. With its help, a transitional frame of steel corners is welded on which the new chair will stand. If possible, the frame is screwed to existing points, and in other places it is welded to the bottom. In the same way, you should install the rear sofa from a foreign car on the Niva.

Almost every Niva owner is faced with the need to modernize or repair their car. These changes may concern both technical characteristics and the interior. Moreover, in order to increase the comfort of your car, it is not necessary to completely overhaul the interior and suspension - just install new seats on the Niva.

Which is better to choose?

Let's now look at which of the listed seats is best suited for your car. It should be borne in mind that a lot depends on the availability of a particular seat option. It is not always possible to find a suitable option in good condition and for the best price.

It is important to understand that worn-out seats from a foreign car will have worse characteristics than “Zhiguli” ones; take this into account when choosing

If you have a junkyard nearby where old German cars constantly appear, then you are very lucky. Surely you can find seats from the Mercedes W210. They are not very popular among drivers of modern foreign cars, but they are ideal for the VAZ-2107. Moreover, at showdowns they usually don’t ask for much for them. At the same time, buying such seats secondhand can cost a significant amount.

If you live in Siberia or the Far East, then you better look for Toyota Corolla seats. Usually in the eastern regions there are no problems with searching, which cannot be said about the European part of Russia. In any case, if you can find such seats, purchase them. Not only do they fit perfectly, but they also look really good in the salon.

The remaining options listed in the previous part of the article make sense to use only if there are no more suitable options. As a rule, their installation requires additional modification of the fasteners.

PS They forgot to mention that they are also suitable for Mazda 6. There is an option to look for them at a disassembly site, chances are high that they will be there.

What is needed to install seats in Lada?

At car service stations, you could ask this question and receive a skeptical look from the mechanic in response. This is a rare task for workshops; not all bodywork specialists can perform this task. However, you can go in three ways to solve the problems that arise:

1. Self-remodeling. To do this, you will need to find good seats for a specific foreign car on the classifieds website. Next, the fasteners are cut off from the original seats and welded onto the purchased seats. After that, all that remains is to install the update in the car interior.
2. Search service station. Today there are many stations that are ready to do this job for you. In big cities there are even entire companies that install good seats in domestic cars. So it won't be too hard to find.
3. Purchasing ready-made refurbished chairs. It is quite possible that on the same advertisement site you can find seats for the VAZ 2110 that are ready for installation. The specialists themselves will digest the mount after receiving your order and send you the finished product.

Which option to prefer, choose for yourself. But before installing such a seat, it is worth checking the quality of welding

If the base is welded poorly, it is worth correcting this defect. For example, a crooked mount will force you to constantly sit with a small rotation of the body. And too flimsy installation will cause poor security

For example, in the event of an accident, such a seat can break off its fastenings and cause irreparable damage to the driver and front passenger.

And too flimsy installation will cause poor security. For example, in the event of an accident, such a seat can break off its fastenings and cause irreparable damage to the driver and front passenger.

Which seats fit on a Priora without modifications?

Anyone who has installed a seat from a foreign car, please share your experience

Comments 44

They offer me seats from the Accord 7. Do you think it will be difficult to install them in a Priora?

I don’t know myself from the BMW 735 in the E32 body

one of these days I’ll install a Subaru B4 for myself... while I’m preparing a neat frame for them...

From Lancer 9 2.0 to Priora we got up with some difficulties! but the impression is great

from Nissan Almera, BZ) everything is bolted and to the original fasteners) all functions are height adjustment, lumbar support, normal working slides, heating)

From paper 530 xi 2008. You buy adapters for the unp bride bucket and a similar plate on top because the bucket ones are narrower... and screw it on stupidly. I got by with 1500 without a collective farm. You can do it like this for any type of seat

The standard seats of Lada cars may not be entirely comfortable. Some people lack more developed lateral support, others want height adjustment or adjustable lumbar support. All the shortcomings can be solved in one way - installing alternative seats, for example, from a foreign car.

The front seats themselves are different for Granta and Kalina (first or second generation), but the fastenings are similar. Distance between skid mounting bolts:

• width - 450 mm;
• length - 340 mm;
• diagonally 560 mm.

Luxury trim levels have similar seat mountings, which now have height adjustment. Seats from Lada Granta Sport, Kalina Sport or Kalina Cross are also perfect. The seats of sports versions of cars are more rigid (the seating position will be higher) and have little lateral support.

If you decide to choose seats from a foreign car, then pay attention to two things:

1. Overall dimensions of the seats. They should not only fit in the cabin, but also be adjustable in all positions;
2. The width of the slide (the distance between the fastening bolts). If the width of the seat slides of a foreign car is 45 cm, then it becomes possible to install them on a Grant or Kalina without alterations (with minimal modifications).

We analyzed reviews from owners on the Internet and compiled a list of “which seats are suitable for Granta or Kalina without modifications” (where the seat mounts for foreign cars have a similar width of the slide). The table is updated as new information becomes available:

All that needs to be modified is to saw off the excess parts of the foreign car's seat slide and drill new holes for the fastening bolts. The tools you need to have are a grinder, a drill, a hammer and a file. An example of a simple installation of seats from Hyundai Solaris/Kia Rio on Kalina:

If the width of the seat slide of a foreign car is more or less than 450 mm, then to install them you will have to make an adapter/plate and may require removing metal parts of the floor. Welding and other additional tools may also be required. An example of installing seats from a Mazda 3 on a Kalina:

Thus, before purchasing seats from a foreign car, make sure that the width of the slide exactly matches the standard one, and that the seats themselves can easily be placed according to their dimensions in the cabin of a Grant or Kalina, taking into account all the adjustments.

Tuning the "seven"

The VAZ 2107, among other Russian passenger cars, is one of the most frequently tuned cars, especially nowadays. This is due to the fact that the model has long been outdated and is very different from modern standards, so the owners have to improve and modernize it in every possible way.

Tuning the VAZ 2107 and VAZ 2105 includes, first of all, an increase in engine power, that is, its structural modification, including power supply, ignition and gas distribution systems.

In addition to tuning that improves technical performance, very often they try to make the “Seven” less similar to itself both externally and inside the cabin.

They change everything, from the dashboard to the seats. At the same time, they use not only modern parts of the same model, but also resort to using parts from foreign cars.

Very often, the driver and passenger seats are changed in VAZ 2107 showrooms.

Reasons for replacing a seat:

Which seats are suitable?

Which seats are suitable:

You can install standard, original, factory seats, but most often car enthusiasts try to replace the old “Seven” seats with seats from foreign cars, sports cars, or anatomical ones.

Of course, installing new ones is not a cheap process.

Therefore, a frequently asked question among car enthusiasts on various forums is which seats are best to choose or which seats are suitable (preferably with the least amount of intervention in installation).

It is indeed possible to install “foreign” seats on the VAZ 2107. For example, seats from a Mercedes W210 (preferably produced in 1996) and from a Toyota Corolla (produced in 1993) are perfect for this purpose. Another option that works well are seats from SKODA and Fiat. In this case, it will be necessary to make two additional holes to install a more reliable fastening.

They also use seats from the Peugeot and Nissan brands, but you will have to deal with some inconsistency and a little work during the installation process. From the Volkswagen brand, these parts fit well without unnecessary modifications.

These seats are quite convenient and comfortable, but it is not recommended to install them, since they will be quite high, which will lead to inconvenience.

According to experts, any seats can be installed, the main thing is that they fit the dimensions and there is the possibility of welding.

What other changes can be made

In order to make your standard “seven” original and different from the rest, you can not only change the seats. If you have enough imagination and skill, you can do a lot.

So, for example, instead of a standard instrument panel, install a panel from a GAZ 3110, modernize the interior lighting system, modernize the heating system and modify the stove, install power windows, reupholster the interior, install lighting on the doors, tune the standard beard and much more.

VAZ 2107 is an incredibly popular car among the people. It is often called the “Russian Mercedes” or “I want to be a Mercedes” for its characteristic radiator grille and the general appearance of the front of the car.

This involuntarily provokes car owners to tune their cars.

When you decide to change anything in your car, remember that installing non-original seats may raise questions from regulatory authorities, since such manipulations are considered changes to the design of the car.

How to remove the front seats on a VAZ 2114

The prerequisites for such manipulations are very different:

1. wear and tear, as this is still called severe seat damage;
2. the need to change gender;
3. the need to glue soundproofing material to the floor;
4. rearrangement of seats with new material (for example, leather);
5. installation of other seats (both rear and front).

When choosing new seats instead of the basic ones, it is important to pay attention not only to their comfort and efficiency, but also to the compatibility of their fastening with a car

In addition, there will be different situations when dismantling and subsequent placement will be required. We will discuss below how to do this very quickly and correctly.

And yes, we will analyze the questions - how to remove the front seats on a VAZ 2114.

Seat Design Vase 2114

To perform this operation we will need the following set of tools:

1. flat screwdriver;
2. ratchet;
3. collar;
4. 8 mm head (or Torx 10 in later models);
5. 13 mm head or 13 key.

Seat Removal Tools

The front seats are removed as follows:

• Disconnect the heated seat harnesses (for which the design is intended, if any).
• Using a size 13 wrench, loosen the four nuts that secure the front seat tube.

Remove the seat nuts

If necessary, remove the torsion bars by pulling firmly on the edges.

When purchasing new front seats, the best option would be to trust the so-called anatomical ones, which will allow you to feel comfortable behind the wheel even during many hours of travel.

In addition to replacing or repairing the front seats, the question often arises about what it actually means to remove the rear seat on a VAZ 2114. In most cases, this is necessary when the car is often used to carry passengers in the rear seats. and the available places for one reason or another are not suitable for them.

Then you can disassemble the base and seats and replace them with new ones - more suitable for the anatomical data of passengers (today the choice of such seats with different shape and size properties is quite wide).

In addition, most car enthusiasts install rear seats from different cars, in most cases from Ford or Audi - since they are much more comfortable than the “original” VAZ seats, and at the same time they fit into the car with the introduction of small configurations into the mounting structure.

Vase for changing rear seats 2114

In order to take a place, a number of simple operations are required:

1. tear off the protective screwdriver just below the seat cushion with a flathead screwdriver or a strong blade;
2. unscrew the two mounting bolts holding the cushion on the sides (a 10mm socket is required);
3. unscrew the bolts located at the bottom of the seats (with the same head);
4. delete vacancies (they are no longer protected).

New rear seat

How to remove 2114 weight seat.

New passenger seats produced in this area are actuated (as if the front seats are actuated) in the same manner, but in reverse order.

If a car seat of a different brand is installed on the road instead of the basic one, it will probably be necessary to introduce additional configurations into its design (nominally for drilling additional mounting holes, but in most situations these configurations are even simpler).

As we said above, the answer to the question - how to raise the rear seat of a VAZ 2114 - is quite conventional, since it is attached with a small number of fasteners and does not even require the use of a lot of tools. But another important issue is choosing new, different places.

Some motorists, as already mentioned, install 2114 seats of other models, and sometimes other brands of cars (for example, Ford seats) on their vases. At the same time, when choosing them, you must carefully monitor their size and installation features (although I often look for motorists specifically about their “working” properties - comfort, wear resistance, anatomy, etc.).

New front seats

This rule applies to the front seats - the fewer modifications you have to make during installation, the better. It should also be emphasized that when replacing front seats, so-called "anatomical" seats (eg those made by UNP) must be identified.

They allow you to drive for long hours and travel for hours without feeling sluggish, also known as back and joint discomfort (such seats are especially recommended for frequent and long trips in urban areas).

Heated seats

Heated seats are relevant for most Russian regions. Sitting on a frozen seat in winter is not always comfortable and safe for health. Many people neglect this option, believing that heating consumes a lot of energy.

In fact, the heating option uses the same amount of energy as the parking lights. The seat warms up quickly and then remains comfortable down to -30 °C outside the car. If you have a choice of options and you have not yet decided which seats can be installed on the VAZ 2114, it is better to install heated seats.

In the 2114 model, the heating option is controlled by the on-board computer. If you independently connect the heating to the network, a short circuit may occur.

Technology of using piercing awl

This principle of upgrading chairs will allow you to lay an additional layer of foam rubber under the side parts of the cover to create the effect of enhanced lateral support. The work is performed in the following order.

What to do What to pay attention to: Thread a piece of thin steel wire through the eye of the button. The length of the wire is 30 cm. Use a piercing awl to pierce the back of the driver's seat. Together with the cover put on it, on the back side. Insert a double wire into the hook. The one that is threaded through the eye of a decorative button. Pull the piercing awl back through. On the back side of the back, along with the fastening wire wound into the hook. Pass the wire tendrils through the eye of the response button and pull the buttons together. Through the back of the seat. Fix the antennae. Bite off the loose tails.

The covers on the seat cushions are strengthened in the same way. In this case, it is advisable to remove the seat from the car for convenience. How to remove the seat is described in the documentation of your “nine”. The VAZ 2109 seat fastenings can be easily removed with your own hands.

The proposed technology allows you to perform tuning of VAZ 2109 seats at a very low cost and create a bright, unique look for the interior of your “nine”. If desired, you can use not one, but two or even three pairs of decorative buttons on the back and cushion of each seat. The flight of fancy here is unlimited. You can choose buttons to match the upholstery or cover them with the fabric from which the cover is made. You can choose contrasting colors with the capes or make all the buttons shockingly multi-colored and even mismatched.

Using buttons, the covers of not only the front but also the rear seats of the car are fixed.

When is it necessary to remove the rear seats?

Over the years of use of the car, all elements of the interior wear out. The seats are upholstered in fabric, so they need to be cleaned periodically to remove dust and dirt.

It is best to do it after dismantling them, in this case the cleaning will be really high-quality and effective.

Rear seat removal may also be necessary for repairs in the following situations:

after an accident; if the backrest lowering mechanism breaks down; if the armrests are faulty; for tightening fastening mechanisms.

Finally, Alcantara, practically not inferior in aesthetic and technical characteristics to natural upholstery, has a low cost, and therefore car seat covers have a more than reasonable price. Delivery of selected and ordered products to any point in Russia in the shortest possible time.

A slightly less practical option is with model car covers made of fabric, velor and Alcantara. They also fit perfectly on chairs, like eco-leather covers, but at the same time they breathe better. The only negative is that it is not as easy to wipe off dirt from them as from eco-leather covers.

Rear sofas - what to replace them with in the VAZ 2110?

If everything is approximately clear with the front seat options, then the rear sofas require a special approach. We are talking about an unconventional size and rather strange types of fastening of a sofa from AvtoVAZ. If you are far from automotive, it is better not to modify the rear seats yourself. To do this you will need the help of specialists

It is important to find a car of the same size, as wider cushions and backrests will have to be redesigned. The installation process is quite complicated:

you need to choose good rear sofas from models such as Volkswagen Polo, Hyundai Solaris, KIA Rio, Renault Logan, and you can also pay attention to Toyota Corolla; Next comes the dismantling of the seats of your car, which is not particularly difficult - just unscrew a few fasteners to get all the structural parts without any difficulties; Next, you should try on new seats, it is quite possible that you will have to order their re-upholstery at a studio, since it is very difficult, and sometimes impossible, to guess the size perfectly; the next step is the installation of fasteners, it is necessary to remove the fastening parts from the VAZ seats and rearrange them on the purchased pillows and backrests for high-quality fastening; after that, all that remains is to install the finished seats in place and enjoy the updated interior of your car, also don’t forget to take a photo and share it on the forums and in the logbook.

Of course, this sounds much simpler than it is done. The process may take more than one day, especially if the seats need to be altered, shortened or lengthened. When choosing seats for the rear of a car, it is best to buy a whole interior set. This will help significantly reduce the cost of further alterations. After all, if you install chairs of different colors, you will have to sew covers or change the upholstery and spend extra money.

Do-it-yourself seat upholstery 09/01/2015 02:48

Dear friends! We very often receive questions about how to independently replace factory seat covers that are already worn out with new ones. That is why we decided to publish a few tips that will make the replacement procedure much easier. In fact, the main part of the questions disappears after removing the old covering, when you get a visual understanding of how to reupholster the seats.

1. If you don’t have a garage or a dry and comfortable room for this type of work, it’s realistic to replace the upholstery in your apartment; you won’t need a lot of space, of course, if you don’t take on the entire interior at once. So, let's start with the front seats. We remove the seat and disassemble them into three parts: the seat, the back and the headrest. To better understand the principle of operation, start with the simplest thing, with the headrests, remove the old trim and put on the new one (see photo No. 1)

2. After you have removed the old covering, you will see that the cover (covering) is fixed with special metal hooks to the seat frames. From the back of the back they are located below. To speed things up and simplify it, instead of hooks you can take plastic clamps or otherwise called nylon ties (see photos No. 2, 3 and 4)

3. To give the skin shape, they use special metal knitting needles; they need to be removed from the standard kit, because They are not included with the new ones. (see photo No. 5)

4. There is still a point that cannot be ignored! If the service life of the old seats is already long, most likely the foam rubber under the covers is not in the best condition. If it is not possible to buy new foam rubber for both front seats at once, replace at least the driver’s seat, or, as a last resort, swap places with the passenger seat (they are interchangeable, see photo No. 6), as a rule, the driver’s seat wears out more. If you still don’t want to replace the foam rubber, the advice is as follows: When putting on a metal knitting needle, leave a little space on each edge, approximately 3 cm. That is, the casing is fixed in 3 places, if you make an indent of a few cm, then there will be fastenings along the edges knitting needle to knitting needle, but only from the middle part through the material.

5. Let's return again to the problem with old foam rubber. If you do not have the opportunity to replace it, we advise you not to install vertical spokes on the seats (see photo); dismantle them, marked in the photo.

6. We change the rear cover using almost the same principle. We insert the already removed knitting needles from the old upholstery into a new cover and fix the fabric. The type of fastening will depend on the car model. On some cars, rubber laces or already known metal hooks, etc. may be used as fastenings.

7. It is extremely rare, but it does happen that after replacing old covers with new ones, in some places there may be minor and practically invisible dents. In order to eliminate this and make everything perfectly smooth, you need to iron the surface with a steamer (see photo No.

8. By the way, do not forget that reupholstering the seats is the most convenient time to install or replace heated seats, clean the lower parts of the frames/slides from rust, and also, if you removed all the seats at once, you can also clean the ceiling, it will be more convenient.

At first glance, it seems that this process will take you a lot of time and it is very difficult, but if you have a positive attitude, you can handle it in five to six hours of work. And then what a pleasant feeling you will get from driving in the updated interior

How to choose anatomical or sports seats for a VAZ 2114

Covers often improve only the appearance of the interior, sometimes slightly increasing the anatomical properties of the seats. If comfort is the main issue during modifications, then completely replacing the seats is an excellent solution. The selection of anatomical or sporty seats is limited only by the amount of money and the owner’s imagination. Do you want a lower back massage or heating? Buckets or comfortable seats? All this is real, even without any special modifications to the fastenings.

You can make a choice both in favor of new products and in the direction of used seats from foreign cars. The supply market is quite extensive.

Anatomical seats have good lateral support, which will prevent the driver or front passenger from flying out of it when cornering. In addition, the correct position of the back is maintained. Such seats significantly reduce the risk of musculoskeletal diseases - this is one of the important selection criteria for drivers who spend most of the day behind the wheel. Typically, anatomical seats are equipped with headrests and armrests.

Bucket-type sports seats are not divided into backrest, seat and headrest (as with anatomical solutions). The entire frame is characterized by increased rigidity, representing one whole, without adjustments. Thus, sports seats are not suitable for every driver.

The dangers of uncomfortable car seats

Safety and driver comfort in any vehicle begins with the driver's seat. An insufficiently developed design significantly affects the general condition of the driver during long trips. It is possible that your back, arms and other troubles may become numb, which significantly distracts you from driving. The presence of comfortable seats is the primary factor when buying a car. Because not everyone wants to exercise after a long trip.

What can be done to the interior of the VAZ 2114 to improve comfort:

• improve appearance through tuning;
• reupholster the interior with covers;
• replace standard seats with sports or anatomical options;
• perform complex tuning.

Purchase of an anatomical chair and its installation

In cases where funds allow, the best solution would be to purchase an anatomical seat for a VAZ car. The cost of such chairs varies depending on the manufacturer. It is worth noting that both anatomical and sports versions of seats are currently available on the market. Despite the fact that the so-called sports seats also have many curves that provide high-quality back support while the car is moving, what distinguishes them from anatomical ones is the ability to raise and lower the backrest.

Anatomical chairs provide high-quality back support, as they have curves in the lumbar region, as well as in the upper back, neck and pelvis. Human anatomy is extremely complex, so good anatomical seats have a fairly curved shape.

Real anatomical seats for the VAZ 2114 and other models have the following advantages:

• relieve stress from the spine;
• have backrest tilt adjustment;

We improve the interior with covers

If the design of the seats to some extent suits the owner of the VAZ 2114, then the main problem in the cabin is the presence of secondary factors:

• wear and tear of upholstery materials;
• all kinds of pollution;
• greasy spots.

Naturally, such an arrangement is unlikely to suit any owner of a VAZ 2114 car. The upholstery of domestically produced cars wears out very quickly - all this is the result of the use of low-quality materials.

If the upholstery in the car has not yet lost its original appearance and is in good condition, then it would be advisable to protect the seats with special covers.

In fact, this is one of the cheapest tuning options, which contributes to the following improvements:

• improving the appearance of the interior and giving it some individuality;
• comprehensive protection against abrasion and contamination;
• Some manufacturers offer products with special inserts that improve the comfort of the driver and passengers.

Car covers are inexpensive and easy to clean from all kinds of dirt. There are a large number of options on the market today, among which you can easily get lost. First, just decide whether to buy ready-made covers or have them made to order.

Ready-made solutions include covers with padding polyester inserts that provide back support. Such products, as a rule, have increased resistance to wear. Variations of available colors will allow you to choose covers to match other interior elements so that everything looks harmonious.

Additional tips:

• The tighter the material adheres to the case, the longer they will last. Therefore, it is better to take the time to remove the seats before installation.
• If the seats have built-in side airbags, then choose the appropriate cover models.
• The unraveling seam must be placed on the side where the Airbag pillow is located.
• Remove the seats. At least the front row. The quality of planting will be higher, and it will take less time. Removing the seats is quite simple: turn off the electrics and unscrew the mounting bolts of the slide.
• Be sure to turn off the ignition before removing the seats and rear sofa!
• There is no need to remove the plastic on the sides of the seats. In principle, it is not suitable for removal and returning it to its place can be problematic. To better push the cover fabric between the seat and the plastic, it is good to use a smooth metal plate (about the same as what doctors use to examine the throat).
• Squeeze the seat upholstery while pulling the cover. This will make it easier to install the covers without damaging the fabric around the seams.
• It’s unlikely that anyone is going to install seat covers in the cold, but just in case, it’s worth pointing out that it’s best to install protective coverings at above-zero temperatures. Especially if the covers are made of natural or artificial leather (eco leather). These materials “tan” and lose elasticity at low temperatures, so if you don’t have a warm garage, then summer is the best season to install covers.
