Self-upholstery of Lada Vesta and X-Ray steering wheels with leather

The steering wheel is the main control element of the car. And for comfortable driving it must be convenient and informative. For the convenience of the driver, the developers of the Lada Vesta car have provided the following useful things:

• adjustment of the steering column for reach and height;
• the presence of an electromechanical amplifier;
• stylish three-spoke leather steering wheel, comfortable to grip and finished with high-quality materials;
• equipped with a driver airbag;
• possibility of installing a multifunction steering wheel with additional buttons for controlling the multimedia system (available in the “luxury” configuration).

Appearance

The steering wheel on the Lada Vesta is a three-spoke wheel finished in perforated black leather. The central part is made of black plastic with the AvtoVAZ emblem placed in the middle. The steering wheel cover is made of silver plastic. The size of the steering wheel allows you to easily maneuver and turn the car with one hand thanks to the presence of an electric booster.

Features of the multifunction steering wheel

The steering wheel on the Lada Vesta Multi-steering wheel, unlike the version in simpler configurations of the Lada Vesta, is equipped with multimedia control buttons. With their help, the driver can, without being distracted from the road, control a music player or radio, adjust the volume, answer calls with the Hands free function activated, and control cruise control.

Additional accessories

Despite the fact that the Lada Vesta car was released relatively recently, manufacturers of accessories and additional equipment are ready to offer several devices for the steering wheel.

Additional braiding on the steering wheel makes the wheel wider in girth and pleasant to the touch. Thanks to its soft and flexible material, its installation does not require much effort. Online stores offer braids of different colors and materials. Silicone, leather, velor braids of bright colors will add individuality to the interior of the car.

Before buying a product, you need to know the diameter of the steering wheel. For a Lada Vesta car it is 38-40 cm. Prices for different types of braids vary from 500 to 2500 rubles, depending on the material.

Installing the steering wheel

Installing a steering wheel Many owners of Lada Vesta in the lower-luxury configuration install a multifunction steering wheel instead of a regular steering wheel. This procedure does not require special skills; if you follow certain instructions, it will not take much time. Before you begin dismantling, you need to disconnect the ground terminal. In order to remove the Lada Vesta steering wheel, you must:

• remove the central airbag module by carefully picking it up with a flat metal object (a file, a small slotted screwdriver);
• disconnect all wires;
• unscrew the bolt that secures the steering wheel;
• You need to remove the steering wheel by smoothly shaking it from side to side and pulling it towards you.

Then you need to install the steering wheel in the same way, tightening the fastening bolt tightly. Next you need to connect all the wires. Using the electrical diagram for connecting the multifunction steering wheel to the radio, carefully connect the numbered wires. Reinstall the upper module with the airbag, pressing it until it clicks. After all the steps taken, you need to check the operation of the radio and cruise control buttons on the steering wheel.

The original multifunction steering wheel for Lada Vesta is not intended for installation on Priora and Granta. These AvtoVAZ models have their own standard devices.

Installation

In order to cover the steering wheel of an X Ray or Vesta with leather braiding, no special knowledge or experience is required. The main thing is diligence and patience, since, despite the fact that the braid is pre-stitched and you only need to cover the steering wheel with it, you will have to set aside several hours for this.

Naturally, it is much more convenient to work when the steering wheel is removed, although some prefer to stretch the braid over the Vesta steering wheel right in the car. However, both experts and owners still recommend dismantling the steering wheel.

Removal

Removing the steering wheel of a Lada Vesta or X-Ray is not too difficult, especially considering that everything is done according to the same algorithm. First you need to remove the terminal from the battery. In addition, you should wait a little (at least a couple of minutes) for the activator capacitor to discharge.

List of required tools:

— 2 thin rods or screwdrivers;

- ratchet;

— Torx 50 bit;

- extension cord;

— 2-lever puller.

First you need to remove the airbag to gain access to the steering wheel mount itself. To do this, you need to arm yourself with a pair of thin rods or nails, about 5 mm in diameter.

There are recesses on the sides of the steering wheel, where you need to insert both rods, and then press on them at the same time. This will tighten the spring clips, and the pillow itself will rise slightly. Here you will need help, since the airbag module will need to be removed and the plugs disconnected.

Arrows mark spring clamps

When the module is removed, you will have access to the bolt (marked 3) that secures the steering wheel. To unscrew it, you will need a ratchet, an extension and a Torx 50 bit. The car wheels must be placed straight, and then unscrew the bolt in the center of the hub. Next, you need to pull the steering wheel towards you and remove it, while simultaneously pushing the connectors for the airbag and horn wires into the hole in the center. In addition, if your car is equipped with a multi-steering wheel, you will need to disconnect the corresponding block.

Next, all that remains is to remove the fuse (transportation) from the steering pocket, marked with the number 5, and then insert it into the rotating mechanism.

Installing the transport fuse

This completes the procedure for removing the Lada Vesta steering wheel. All that remains is to first remove the plastic insert from it. This is not easy to do, since it is held on by 8 clips that are inserted into the rubber base.

The removal process is clearly shown in the video.

Padding

Self-upholstery of the steering wheel of a Lada Vesta and X-Ray into leather is quite possible. Everything is described in detail in the re-upholstery instructions. However, many note that it is better to turn to a professional. The most difficult thing about reupholstering a Lada X-Ray steering wheel yourself with leather is the stitches and the formation of grooves “to match the factory ones.”

However, you can choose different stitch options whichever you like best. The main thing is to do everything measuredly and exactly according to the instructions. Then the result will definitely please you.

The process is clearly demonstrated in the video. In it, using the example of a Toyota, the master shows the entire process of re-upholstering the steering wheel, including dismantling, making patterns, preparing the braid and steering wheel, as well as installation. Since the steering wheel braid for the Lada Vesta and X-Ray is already ready, you need to pay special attention to the re-upholstery process, which begins at 14:45

Installation

Installing the Vesta steering wheel is carried out in the reverse order, but there are several nuances.

The steering wheel fastening bolt removed during dismantling cannot be used. You need to buy a new bolt, and its tightening torque must be in the range of 38-50 Nm, which is equivalent to 3.8-5.0 kg/s.

In the case where there is no transport safety lock, it is necessary to inspect the position in which the contact disk of the (rotating) steering column switch unit is located. If it is not level, it needs to be placed in the middle position. It is important to align the splines on the shaft and hub of the steering wheel, and also to align the ebbs on the steering wheel with the grooves.

Buying a steering wheel

In order to buy a steering wheel for a Lada Vesta, you should contact official dealers or specialized auto centers. Verified points of sale offer quality products and have mandatory certificates and guarantees for them.

The cost of the multifunction steering wheel is 5-6 thousand rubles. The same product with an installed airbag will cost more - about 9 thousand rubles.

Universal steering wheel braid made of eco-leather with laces in Sport style (size M)

steering wheel diameter 37-39 cm Included: braid, thread and needle. Installation instructions: 1. Place the braid on the steering wheel in a position convenient for you. 2. Fasten the thread to the braid. 3. Begin to pull the edges of the braid together by threading the needle under the stitches. 4. Sew the edges with a zigzag, first in one direction, then in the other direction.

A leather steering wheel is the dream of many owners of inexpensive class B models. These also include those who drive Lada Vesta and X-Ray. However, the steering wheels of models of this type are extremely rarely covered with leather from the factory. The XRAY and Vesta trim levels have a similar option, but only in the top version. Therefore, owners of cheaper equipment have to do everything themselves.

Advantages of reupholstery

Covering the Lada Vesta and X-Ray steering wheels with leather allows you to give the interior gloss and solidity, because the leather steering wheel looks very presentable, and the wrapping also goes well with the rest of the interior elements.

However, everything is not limited to aesthetics alone. With a leather constriction, the steering wheel of the X-Ray and Vesta is pleasant to the touch and does not slip so much, also thanks to the perforations. And in hot weather, this point is more than relevant, because a steering wheel slipping in your hands can cause loss of control over the car and an accident.

After reupholstering, the Vesta steering wheel becomes plumper.

In addition, some find that the cross section of the X Ray and Vesta steering wheel rim is too thin, making it uncomfortable to hold. The situation is corrected by tightening with leather.

As you can see, this method has many strengths, so it is not surprising that it is so popular.

How to choose?

Before you buy a leather steering wheel for Vesta or X-Ray, you need to study this issue in order to navigate the many offers from different manufacturers. All braids are sewn from automotive leather, 1 mm thick. This leather is tougher, making it more resistant to wear and mechanical damage.

As a rule, there are 4 categories of goods on the market:

1. Standard - products are made of artificial German leather Schweitzer Nappa, exclusively in black. The braid is smooth in combination with perforated. You can also choose any thread color. Price – about 1200 rubles.
2. Normal - genuine Russian Vista Uruguay leather is used, only in black. The braid is smooth in combination with perforated. Threads are available in different shades. The cost is about 1600 rubles.
3. Luxury - made from genuine Russian leather Vista Uruguay. A combination of different colors with different thread colors is available. The braid is smooth in combination with perforated. Approximate price tag – 1900 rubles.
4. Premium - genuine Italian Nappa leather, without perforation, but various combinations of colors and threads are available. Italian products cost about 2,300 rubles.

Steering wheel of Lada Vesta and XRAY

The process is also shown in the video:

Have you ever had to install a leather steering wheel on a LADA yourself? What difficulties have you encountered? Let us remind you that we previously looked at other modifications to LADA cars. For example, installing a leather gear knob or eco-leather covers (for Vesta or XRAY).

Where can I buy?

It is usually easiest to purchase such products online. The reason is that at the car market or in a simple store there may not be a steering wheel cover specifically for the Lada X-Ray or Vesta. Some people order goods through Aliexpress, since the products there are cheaper. And if delivery time is not critical for you, you can use this platform. However, if you want to receive the braid faster, it is better to place an order in a Russian online store.
