Detailed instructions for replacing glass on a VAZ 2107

Purpose of the windshield and rear glass

Glass is a transparent shield that is mounted in front of the car and protects passengers from air flow while driving. Additionally, this element affects aerodynamics and the final drag coefficient.

Front and rear windows increase torsional rigidity and retain heat in the cabin.

There are types:

• multilayer;
• hardened

A shield with several layers is called triplex and is installed in the front of the car. A transparent film is glued between the layers of the part, which firmly holds large particles in the event of an accident or a large object. The multi-layer shield ensures the safety of passengers and the driver, eliminating serious injuries from fragments.

The hardened part consists of one layer. It is used for side arrangement and rear shield. The temperature effect increases the strength of the part and prevents the formation of large fragments in the event of an accident. After hardening, high-quality parts are broken into small particles with rounded edges that are not capable of causing injury. You can strengthen the rear panel using a tint film, which will hold the fragments in case of complete cracking.

The evenness and transparency of the glass surface ensure the safety of the driver while driving, and models with protection from ultraviolet rays prevent the interior from quickly heating up in countries with hot climates.

VAZ 2107 glass - the need for glass in a car

Before starting a conversation about the glass of the VAZ “Seven”, we need to consider the purpose of these elements. Automotive glass is a part of the body that has a protective function and protects the driver and passengers from the effects of precipitation, dust, stones and dirt from vehicles moving ahead. The main requirements for auto glass are strength, reliability and safety. When the car is moving, the main load falls on the windshield.

What is required for the work

To replace a defective element on a VAZ 2022 with your own hands, you need to prepare the following tools:

• degreasing and cleaning agent;
• clean cloth;
• a cord with a cross-section of 4-5 millimeters and a length of at least 5 meters;
• assistant, since some operations are performed only by two people;
• new sealing rubber;
• molding.

You need to thoroughly wash and degrease the new product before starting work. This will prevent it from accidentally slipping out of your hands, and will also ensure a tight grip in the rubber groove.

All work should be carried out in a warm, windless place, observing safety precautions when using degreasing chemicals.

Windshield frame - logbook Lada 2115 2006 on DRIVE2

A few letters and photos. I fought with the frame, because there was rot in the left pillar and it was not possible to fix it without removing the glass, I pulled the glass out, and found more rot underneath it, and even through it.

At first I wanted to get away with a repair insert, but they are not the same shape as I need, it feels like they are being bent with a hammer on the knee. I found the bottom of the frame to be very similar to the factory.

I wanted to completely change the bottom of the frame, change the right corner anyway, and near the left there is a small area of ​​corrosion, although the corner itself, oddly enough, is in good condition, then I changed my mind, since the frame still didn’t suit me completely. In general, I eliminated the rot on the left, and I melted the holes by welding, cleaned them and removed them with putty.

Next is the right side. I cut off part of the rack and treated it with anti-rust and primer.

removed part of the frame

after anti-rust treatment

I exposed and welded the repair insert, then puttyed and primed it.

Self-installation

Installing a windshield is not a difficult, but responsible process. Before starting work you need to do the following:

1. Wash the surface of the frames and inspect for chips, rust, and abrasions.
2. Degrease the surface.
3. Place the cord in a new elastic band. The ends of the rope are located along the bottom edge in the place where the lock is located.
4. Prepare a new part.

If pockets of corrosion are detected, clean the area with sandpaper, apply a primer and paint over it with enamel. The presence of rust in the contact area is unacceptable: this reduces the strength of the fastener, which is why water may enter the VAZ interior.

Before starting installation work, remove the side trims from the frames and the rear view mirror. This will make it easier to pull out the rope.

How to install:

1. Put on the rubber seal.
2. Lay down the rope.
3. Carefully attach the part to the frame.
4. One person adjusts the position from the outside of the VAZ, and the second carefully pulls the rope into the interior. It's better to start from the bottom edge.
5. When pulling out the rope, an assistant adjusts the part and presses slightly towards the seal.

After the seal is in place, the shield will take its position. The windshield frame on the VAZ 2107 is installed in the reverse order. This is where a flathead screwdriver with a large handle comes in handy.

When going around the bottom corners, be careful not to scratch the panel with the cord. After installing the seal on the glass, you can put the rear view glass and decorative trim on the pillars back in place.

To replace the windshield of a VAZ yourself, you will need one assistant, a minimum number of tools and 2-4 hours of free time.

Rear window replacement

The rear window of the VAZ 2107 can be heated or without it. Structurally, the parts are the same, with the exception of contacts that are disconnected before removal. The sizes and shape are the same.

Dismantling:

1. Using a screwdriver, remove the locks that are installed in the lower corners.
2. Remove the wedge cover.
3. Press out the glass from the inside.
4. Remove the old shield from the posts.

If the shield is firmly in place and is not squeezed out from the inside, you should use a screwdriver to knead the molding along the contour and repeat the dismantling again. Removal is done with an elastic band, this will protect your hands from damage.

Rear part installation:

1. Clean and degrease the surface of the frames.
2. Install new locks and seals on the glass.
3. The rope is inserted along the contour of the elastic band and overlaps at the bottom.
4. The glass is applied to the frame and pressed down.
5. Carefully pull out the rope, which must be inserted into the rubber edging.

After installation, the locks are latched with a screwdriver and the molding is mounted. All elastic bands and retaining clips are changed completely: this will increase the strength of the fastening.

↑ Where to change the windshield - in the salon or with your own hands?

In most cases, this work is performed in services, which makes it seem that the procedure is quite simple and you can do it yourself, although this is not entirely true. The main thing in the procedure is the replacement experience, which only the corresponding master has, and independent replacement may be incorrect or of poor quality.

Although new glass is much stronger and technically superior, the more intricate its shape and larger size, the more difficult it will be to install. If errors are made in the work, this can distort the driver’s perception or greatly interfere with the movement of the car. In other cases, the glass may burst or sweat, and during rainfall it may even leak, and the fault will be due to improper installation and low-quality materials used.

Conclusion

Replacing damaged glass is not difficult, although it will require some skill. This is easy to do with your own hands using tools. It is advisable to have someone help you; it will be inconvenient to carry out the installation alone.

The windshield on the 2114 has a size of 1400x662mm, it is standard for the model range from model 8 to model 15. The windshield has a three-layer structure, also called triplex. It consists of two layers of glass and a transparent film in the middle, which prevents the glass from shattering upon impact.

There are cases that require windshield replacement. The main reason is the condition of our roads. From an oncoming or overtaking car, a small pebble may fly from under their wheels and damage the glass.

Main types of damage:

• chips;
• cracks.

If a chip appears, that is, only the outer side of the triplex is damaged, problems usually do not arise. But when a crack appears, you need to take action, otherwise over time the windshield may fall out, which can easily lead to an accident or accident. And it will be difficult to obtain a diagnostic card.

What you can do:

• in case of small chips, continue to operate the car;
• If there is a crack, take temporary measures yourself or replace the glass.

Temporary measures:

• Using a glass cutter, half a centimeter cuts are made perpendicularly along the edges of the crack;
• Using the finest diamond drill, holes are drilled along its edges. The crack will not spread further for some time;
• contacting a specialized service, where the crack can be “welded” so that it will not be visible.

But in any case, the integrity of the triplex has already been compromised and after some time the glass will have to be replaced.

How to choose

Don't buy cheap copies. Products with a suspiciously low price are either made of low-quality materials or are sold as disassembled parts. An inexpensive consumable will require replacement after just six months of use.

It is advisable to find an original spare part. It will definitely fit the car, and the quality will be higher than that of its analogue.

Inspect the part carefully. The surface must be smooth, without scratches, even and transparent. The reflection must be clear and clear. If it is cloudy, do not rush to shell out money.

Check markings, manufacturer and type. Information must be clearly written. Blurred markings are one of the main signs of a fake.

The price of consumables ranges from 1000 to 3000 rubles.

Economy segment

Xyg (China) - the best Chinese parts on the market. Pass ultraviolet rays. The material is not of the best quality: poor visibility, the image is distorted. Weak structure. This consumable will have to be changed twice a year. Overall, the price is reasonable.

How to choose glass

Before choosing it, you should pay attention to the following criteria:

• price. Don't chase cheapness;
• buy the original, not an analogue or from disassembly;
• the surface must be smooth, even, transparent and reflective without distortion;
• look at the markings, determine the manufacturer and type of glass.

A windshield is not that expensive, you can find not very expensive ones up to 1000 rubles, there are also expensive Olimpia or BOR glasses, the price for them reaches 3000 rubles.

Types of damage

There are 2 main types of damage to car windshields: chips and cracks. Chips are small, most often located at the edges, areas of destruction of one of the triplex glasses (usually the outer one). You can operate a car even if there are a large number of chips without urgently replacing the glass.

VAZ 2114 windshield chipped

In turn, cracks are through-cut damage that has a longitudinal or branched shape. They can appear even from a small pebble, but, regardless of their size, they pose a serious threat. Thus, over time, cracks in the glass can increase, gradually occupying an increasingly larger area, which can ultimately lead to a weakening of the glass surface and its complete loss.

Considering that this can happen even while driving, it is worth understanding that the only solution when cracks appear should be to replace the windshield (and, if necessary, replace the rear window of the VAZ 2114).

Crack in the windshield of a VAZ 2114

It is worth noting that in some cases (for example, when the crack occupies a small area), temporary measures can be taken to prevent its increase, which will allow you to use the car for some time without replacing the glass.

Such measures include:

• drawing 5 mm lines using a glass cutter in front of all ends of the crack;
• drilling small holes in front of each end of the crack using a pobedit or diamond drill;
• contacting a car service to seal (seal) the crack.

All of the above measures should be temporary, because even if the crack stops spreading or is not visible at all (as a result of sealing), the surface of the glass will still remain damaged, as well as the risk of it falling out over time.

The result of the work

That's it, the glass has been replaced. As a result, the car can be used immediately without worrying about the windshield cracking completely.

If it takes car service specialists no more than 30 minutes, then if you work independently, it will take a little more time. The task can be simplified by the use of special devices in the form of two handles with suction cups, with the help of which it is much more convenient to place the glass.

Content

Sometimes, as a result of an accident or a simple hit by a stone, the windshield of a car is severely damaged and completely fails. You can solve the situation that has arisen, despite the complexity that may seem at first glance, with your own hands. Today we will talk about how to correctly replace the windshield of a VAZ 2114, as well as which glass is better to choose.
