Do-it-yourself replacement of the rear door window lifter mechanism of a VAZ 2106

Many drivers are interested in how to replace a VAZ 2106 window regulator. We will try to explain as comprehensively and thoroughly as possible what is required for this and how the process itself occurs. It should be noted that it is rare to change the window regulators on the “six” and other “classic” models, because their design itself is very reliable. However, the owners of this car will find our material useful.

Replacing a VAZ 2106 window regulator is a simple operation and does not contain any pitfalls. The body design of the “six” is practically no different from the VAZ 2101. The latest model is a copy of the Italian “Fiat-124”, which rolled off the assembly line more than fifty years ago. Cars of that time were distinguished by a very simple design of components. The design of the “six” is also simple and easy to disassemble. Well, now let’s move on to the process itself and tell you about it step by step.

To work we will need the following tools:

wrenches 8 and 10;
square (phillips) screwdriver;
a simple screwdriver;
extension;
hammer.

First you need to remove the trim from the vehicle doors. For this we need two screwdrivers. The usual way is to pry off the cover on the door opening lever, then it is removed, followed by the entire mechanism. Now the bolts that hold the door handle are unscrewed. It's time for the sheathing. It is carefully pryed off with a screwdriver and removed. During this process, you need to try to prevent damage to the plastic parts. This kind of work is done quite easily and only takes about fifteen minutes.

With the door trim removed, it's time to work on the window regulators. First you need to unscrew the window lift cable clamp; it is secured with two bolts. We loosen one bolt and the clamp falls off on its own. As you can see here, again, everything is quite simple.

Move to the left side of the door and loosen the roller nut. Next, pull the window lift cable out of the door. The latter is secured with three bolts, and removing them is easy - take a wrench, with which you unscrew the bolts one by one. When we start working on the last bolt, you should hold the window regulator with your hand from the outside, otherwise it may fall out and damage something.

Now all that remains is to unscrew one nut located on the inside of the door under the window regulator. After removing it, you need to pull the window regulator to the right side and pull it out of the door. The same procedure is done with other doors.

Note to the driver:

before installing the window regulator in place, wind the cable around the drum;
The window lifters of the front and rear doors have cables of different lengths and cannot be changed;
When returning the window regulator to its place and the cable to the rollers, make sure that the cable does not jump off the drum; it must be held with your hand.

Reasons for handle breakage

Often, replacing the power window handle will only temporarily fix the problem. Soon the new handle also fails. The reason is that the glass goes down and up too tightly, so you have to put excessive stress on the rather fragile plastic part. In this case, you must first eliminate the cause of the stuck glass or window regulator, and then change the handle.

It’s easy to check the operation of the mechanism - just raise and lower the window.

There are several reasons for the mechanism to jam:

twisted drive cable;
glass distortion;
poor lubrication in the mechanism;
freezing of ice (in winter).

If the window regulator works hard, you need to remove the door trim, find and eliminate the cause: change the lubricant, melt the ice or replace the faulty mechanism.

Another reason for handle breakage is worn-out window drive splines. In this case, it is necessary to replace the window lifter mechanism with a new one and only then change the handle.

To carry out repair work to replace the rear door windows of a VAZ 2106, we will need eight- and ten-size wrenches and a screwdriver. Once you have everything you need, you can begin the repair.

The sequence of actions will look like this:

Remove the decorative door trim, as we did when replacing the rear side windows.
Lower the glass a little and use a screwdriver to unscrew one screw securing the glass frame pressure plate, and simply loosen the second screw. The glass should move freely along the cable without the help of a window lifter.
Raise the glass as high as possible and fix it in this position, placing, for example, pieces of rubber tubes in the gap between the glass and the inner edge of the glass.

Loosen the nut securing the tension roller and remove the cable from the rollers. Next, remove the cable from the upper guide roller, which is located inside the door.
Unscrew the nuts securing the window regulator and remove it (see Removing and installing the front door window regulator of a VAZ 2106).

This completes the work on replacing the rear door window regulator. Replace the mechanism with a new one and install it on the car in the reverse order of removal. After installing the window regulator, adjust it.

To carry out repair work on the removal and subsequent installation of the front door windows of the VAZ 2106, we will need wrenches “10” to “8” and a screwdriver.

The first step is to remove the front side glass so that it does not interfere with our work (see Replacing the side windows of the front doors of a VAZ 2106).
Remove the window lift cable from the upper guide pulley. The upper guide roller is not visible from the outside of the door and is in the same vertical line as the lower guide roller. Unscrew the nuts securing the window lifting mechanism and remove the mechanism along with the cable from the inside of the door.

The front door window regulator of the VAZ 2106 has been removed, replace it with a new one and install it in the reverse order of removal.

Before installing the window lifting mechanism, wind the cable onto the drum two turns on each side.
The window lifting mechanisms of the front and rear doors differ in cable length, so they are not interchangeable.
When installing the mechanism on the door and the cables on the rollers, do not allow the cable to jump off the drum, hold it with your hand.

At this point, the repair of replacing the front door windows of the VAZ 2106 is completed.

Installing a new window regulator

The new mechanism must necessarily have a bracket that secures two branches of cables. It cannot be removed until a full installation has been completed.

In general, the installation process looks like this:

Installing and fixing the case in its “own” place.
Installing cables around the rollers.
Fastening the glass clips with a cable. It is fixed with screws using 2 brackets.
Installation of the guide groove.
Cable tension.
Now the bracket that secures the branches of the cable is removed.
Installation of door trim and handles.

The cable can be routed around the rollers in two ways through the rolling support (upper or lower). If the line goes through the lower roller, then the cable is routed as follows:

Left guide roller (lower).
Left guide support (top).
Central tension reel (bottom).
The guide element is at the top right.

If the front window regulator is being replaced, then you can loop it through the upper coil in the reverse order.

Stretching process:

Lower the glass to the down position.
Turn the handle all the way in the direction of lowering the window.
Adjust the cable tension by moving the required roller.
The bolt clamp that secures the roller.

Please note that the tension should be sensitive. The cable should not be overtightened, but it should not be allowed to dangle either.

A small characteristic of the node

Replacing power windows on a VAZ-2106, as many experienced car owners know, is a fairly simple operation, but fraught with some pitfalls. As almost all experienced car enthusiasts know, the design of the VAZ-2106 is not much different from the design of the very first VAZ model, which, in turn, is in many ways a copy of the Fiat-124

, introduced almost half a century ago.

Cars of that time were distinguished by a simple and unsophisticated design of all components, which means that the VAZ-2106 window lifters have a simple and understandable design, which is quite easy to disassemble. In this article we will tell you in detail how to change the window regulator on a VAZ-2106 with a description of each step

Installation

After the window lifter has been removed, all that remains is to go to the store

and purchase a new window regulator (the price for this spare part ranges from 100-120 rubles) and put the new part back according to the same instructions, performing the steps described in it in reverse order.

It is worth noting that the mechanisms for the front and rear doors of the VAZ-2106 are not interchangeable - this is due to the different lengths of the window lift cables for the front and rear doors of cars of this model.

Window lifter malfunctions

In the summer, on a VAZ 2106, one of the devices that allows you to somehow cope with the stuffiness in the cabin is a window lift. If this mechanism does not work, then driving becomes a real pain. Therefore, Zhiguli owners should know what problems can arise with window regulators and how to fix them.

Glass fell

Mostly, glass falls due to loosening of the cable attachment to the glass itself. As a result, the cable slips, and the lowered window cannot be raised. If the problem lies in a loose fastening, then it will be enough to remove the door trim and tighten it, adjusting the relative position of the glass and the cable.

The glass does not respond to the rotation of the handle

If on your car, when you turn the window lifter handle, you cannot lower or raise the window and at the same time you feel that the mechanism is not working, then the main reason for this phenomenon is the licked slots on the handle itself. It is connected to the gearbox shaft through splines, but due to the soft material of manufacture, the splines on the handle wear out over time. In addition, premature wear is possible due to the tight movement of the glass, which can be caused by misalignment of the guides, the presence of a foreign object in the door, or problems in the gearbox itself.

When erasing the slots of door handles, problems arise with glass movement

Broken cable

One of the malfunctions of a mechanical window lifter is a broken cable. It manifests itself in the same way as when there is a problem with the handle, i.e. in the form of free rotation of the handle. Since the cable is not sold as a separate part, the window regulator in this case will have to be completely replaced. Attempts to restore the break will require a lot of time and effort, and the low cost of the device in question, amounting to about 200–300 rubles, indicates the inexpediency of repair.

Gearbox failure

The design of the window lifter is such that the gears of the gearbox can wear out over time, that is, their teeth simply wear out due to the softness of the metal. As a result, the mechanism runs idle, while the cable and glass do not move. It is possible to replace the worn gear by removing it from the old window lifter, but it is better to install a new product that will last much longer than a restored one.

Mechanism grinding

Sometimes, when the glass is raised or lowered, the device may make sounds similar to grinding. The reason may be a lack of lubrication or damage to one of the tension rollers, which is simply rubbed by the cable, causing the cable to jam inside the roller. In this case, the latter will have to be replaced. If the grinding noise is caused by a lack of lubricant, then you simply need to apply lubricant, for example, Litol-24, both to the gearbox itself and to the cable with rollers.

At the first sign of a grinding noise, the window regulator must be lubricated.

Glass creaks

During vehicle operation, the windows are exposed to various types of contaminants (dust, dirt, sand, etc.). When the door glass is lowered, the abrasive substances on it act on the surface, scratching it and producing a characteristic squeak. Although the doors are designed with special velvets (glass seals), which are designed to protect the glass from scratching by dust and sand, over time they wear out and do not perform their functions well. Therefore, if a characteristic squeak appears, it is better to replace the glass seals.

If a squeak appears while the glass is moving, then most likely the velvets have become unusable

Common faults and solutions

Over time, the window lifting mechanism becomes unusable - it is impossible to raise or lower the glass.

There may be several reasons for a device malfunction:

cable break;
foreign objects entering the mechanism;
gearbox wear.

There is no point in repairing window regulators, since their cost is low; it is easier to buy a new device and replace it.

Device assembly diagram

Electric lifts may have the following faults:

All power windows do not work: the fuse is blown, there is no connection to ground, the wiring is broken. The repair consists of replacing fuses, restoring ground connections and electrical circuits.
The lift on one of the doors does not work. The switch is faulty, the reverse current relay is broken, the electric motor is broken, the wiring is broken, the connector is disconnected. Faulty parts should be replaced, the wiring restored, the connector connected.

Do-it-yourself replacement of rollers and timing belt on a Grant - step-by-step instructions

Unscrew the generator pulley mounting bolt. If this does not work, open the plug in the clutch housing, then use a mounting blade to hold the flywheel teeth, thereby securing the crankshaft from turning.
Once the bolt is removed, remove the generator drive pulley.
On VAZ 21116 and VAZ 11186 engines, unscrew the three bolts that secure the lower part of the timing cover and remove it.
Next, remove the timing belt from the camshaft and crankshaft pulley along with the tension roller.

After completing the replacement, adjust the belt tension using the tension roller.

Before you start tensioning the belt, you should warm up the engine so that the coolant temperature is approximately 20-25°. It is at this temperature that the marks on the tension roller should coincide; if the coolant temperature is 80-90°, the mark will shift to the right by 5-6 mm towards the radiator. However, this is provided that you use the rollers that AvtoVAZ prescribed; if you buy something of your own, adjustment according to this scheme may not be suitable.

1. Align the marks on the camshaft pulleys with the marks on the rear timing belt cover. 2. Secure the pulleys using the tool shown above.

7. Then tighten bolt 3 of the tensioner fastening, with a bolt tightening torque of 23-36 N.m. (2.3-3.6 kgf.m.). 8. Remove the crankshaft locking device and turn the crankshaft two turns. If mark 1 deviates beyond mark 2, readjust the belt tension by first unscrewing the automatic tensioner mounting bolt by 45º-90º.

how to supply and install the mechanism, repair and diagram

The VAZ 2106 window lifter has a reliable design, but, like any mechanism, it can fail. The article discusses typical malfunctions of power windows on the “classic” and provides instructions for removal and installation.

Design and types of window lifters

The mechanical window lifter on the VAZ 2106 has a simple design and consists of a control handle, a glass lift transmission system, a cable and three rollers.

Many drivers install electric windows instead of classic ones.

They come in two types:

Cable. The design includes an electric motor with a drum on which the cable is wound, and a gearbox. The upper drum is connected to a conventional window lifter using a spline. With its help the cable is activated.
Rack and pinion. They use the principle of a steering rack in a car.

To install the electric mechanism, you need to purchase a kit consisting of wires, fasteners, backlit control keys, a decorative plug, and installation instructions (the author of the video is VALENTIN VERNIGORA).

Common faults and solutions

Over time, the window lifting mechanism becomes unusable - it is impossible to raise or lower the glass.

There may be several reasons for a device malfunction:

cable break;
foreign objects entering the mechanism;
gearbox wear.

There is no point in repairing window regulators, since their cost is low; it is easier to buy a new device and replace it.

Electric lifts may have the following faults:

All power windows do not work: the fuse is blown, there is no connection to ground, the wiring is broken. The repair consists of replacing fuses, restoring ground connections and electrical circuits.
The lift on one of the doors does not work. The switch is faulty, the reverse current relay is broken, the electric motor is broken, the wiring is broken, the connector is disconnected. Faulty parts should be replaced, the wiring restored, the connector connected.

Removal instructions

To complete the work you will need the following tools:

Phillips and flathead screwdrivers;
a set of keys;
knob;
extension.

The removal procedure consists of the following steps:

First of all, you need to remove the casing.
Next, the glass is lowered as far as possible. Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the bolt holding the clamp.
After unscrewing the bolt, lower the clamp down.
Then on the left side of the door, just loosen the roller nut using a wrench.
The cable is now free and can be removed from the roller.
Next, unscrew the three nuts holding the window regulator.
When unscrewing the third bolt, the mechanism should be held from the inside.
When the window lifting mechanism is free, move it to the side.
After unscrewing the last nut, you can remove the window regulator from the door.

Next, repair or replacement is carried out. The rear mechanism is installed in the same way.

Installation Features

Installation of a new or repaired window lifter is carried out in the reverse order of removal.

Video “How to change window regulators on a VAZ”

This video demonstrates how to replace a window lifter on a VAZ (car video - Pavel Pavek).

How to replace or install power windows on a 6?

The standard front window lifter of the VAZ 2106 is an element of the interior of the car and is designed to allow air masses to enter the cabin and increase comfort in the vehicle when making trips of various durations.
In other words, when the windows are open, fresh air enters the cabin. The design of the system is quite simple: the VAZ 2106 window lifter mechanism consists of a window lifter cable moving between rigidly fixed rollers along a strictly defined route, a window lifter control handle and a window lift transmission system.

Car enthusiasts using the “six” sometimes have the question of replacing the window regulator if its lifting mechanism is defective. Let's look at how to install a window regulator on a VAZ 2106 so that distortions do not occur when moving the cable with the front window frame.

Replacing the "six" window regulator

How to install a window regulator on a VAZ 2106? The procedure for replacing the product is as follows:

We disassemble the door where it is necessary to install a window regulator to replace the faulty product;
We begin dismantling the defective product by removing the glass fastening strip to the window lift cable;
We move the cable to a position that does not interfere with work;
We remove the old window lift mechanism of the VAZ 2106;
We check the rollers for free rotation; if they lock during rotation, they must be lubricated with lithol.

1. It is forbidden to dismantle the bracket that secures the cable in the reel in assembled condition, otherwise, if the cable comes off the rollers when the reel is wound, the lifting mechanism will malfunction and it will be quite difficult to restore it to its previous condition.

2. When unwinding the cable for installation work, it is prohibited to touch the latch.

We attach the window regulators on the VAZ 2106 to the standard connections and pass the cable along the rollers according to the installation diagram;
In the area of the body part of the lifting mechanism, the cable must overlap, that is, its section coming out from the bottom of the drum is directed to the top roller, and from the top of the drum to the bottom roller;
We tension the cable on the rollers, for which we loosen the roller from below, which is subject to adjustment, and tighten it according to the attached diagram:

If the size of the cable is not enough, then you need to pull it onto 2 rollers and release the latch - clamp and place it on the roller elements without sagging;
After installing the window regulator, we tighten the cable without sagging, but also without special tension. If the locking device was not removed, it can now be released.
When securing the handles of the VAZ 2106 window lifters, we rotate the window lifter mechanism, and the entire system should rotate smoothly, without jolts or jams. Now we move the glass to the lower position, lower the windows, and attach the cable to the bar.

The procedure for removing and installing a window regulator on a VAZ 2106 on a video clip can be viewed on our Internet resource.

Electric window lifts "six"

The newly installed electric window lifts on the VAZ 2106 make it possible to eliminate the rotation of the window lifter handles when it is necessary to open the windshields at the front of the cabin. It also makes the trip more comfortable and allows you not to be distracted from the process of driving the vehicle.

Another serious advantage appears: when an additional electrical circuit is used in the installed alarm circuit, a method appears for operating the automation when closing the vehicle doors.

Many car enthusiasts are wondering how to replace the window regulator on a VAZ 2106 with a similar mechanism, but with an electric drive. Let us explain that there is nothing complicated in this technological operation; you must have basic plumbing skills and be able to use the tool.

The electric window lifter diagram for the VAZ 2106 is located here:

Technical parameters of electric windows

Typically, such power window kits have the following performance characteristics:

The device of window lifters VAZ 2107

Every car enthusiast knows what a window lifter is. Its functions are simple: open and close the window, thereby regulating the microclimate and level in the cabin. There are two types of window lifters: manual (colloquially crutches or meat grinders) and electric, controlled from the dashboard or individual buttons.

At the manufacturer's factory, the VAZ 2107 was equipped with manual window lifters, which have a fairly simple design. They are based on the operation of a mechanism to which glass is attached using special fixing devices. The side windows are lowered and raised by turning a handle located inside the cabin.

The standard window lifter of the “seven” is controlled by a handle and is very inconvenient to use

What kind of window lifters are there on the "seven"?

During its existence, the VAZ 2107 was equipped with two types of window lifters:

Rack and pinion. They are considered more reliable. Installing this type of window lifter completely eliminates glass distortion. The mechanism works by transmitting the rotational force of the gear, which interacts with a linear rack, to the glass carriage. The main disadvantage is the need for constant lubrication, since the gears of the mechanism were made of plastic, which wears out quite quickly and can damage the entire mechanism.
Cable ones - due to their design, they are weaker and more often fail. The fundamental element of this type of window lifter is a cable attached to the twisting mechanism. The device operates rather slowly due to the low functional properties of the drive, which with force overcomes the resistance of the sealing rubber bands. It may also happen that it begins to overheat and at some point simply fails. The advantage of this type of mechanism is its good maintainability, but too frequent need for repairs practically eliminates this advantage.

Types of window regulators - what will VAZ please?

Electric windows have recently been increasingly installed on domestically produced cars. The installation of such devices began at the dawn of the 2000s. Before this, all VAZ cars were equipped with ordinary cable-operated windows with manual controls.

The VAZ 2107, the production of which began in the late 80s of the last century, is equipped with a manual window lifter. This type of window control is familiar to most owners of VAZ cars. The VAZ 2110 model already has an electric window lifter, which is much more convenient and practical compared to the manual control type. Electrical devices are not something new. They began to be installed in imported cars back in the 80s, but this “know-how” reached our automobile industry only recently.

Based on the type of operating mechanism, window lifters can be divided into several types. The most basic and widely used in VAZ 2107 cars are rack and pinion, they require constant care and lubrication. It often happens that the gears of this mechanism are made of plastic, which is why the mechanism wears out catastrophically quickly.

Due to the type of construction, they require much more space in the car than cable ones. When using such window lifters, glass distortion is completely eliminated. The operation of the device is to transmit the rotation of a gear, which interacts with a linear type of rack on which the glass carriage is placed. Rack and pinion windows are reliable and produce less noise than cable windows.

The second type of window lifter is on a cable; by design, they are very weak and often fail. The main element of such window lifters is a cable and a torque mechanism. The advantage of this type of mechanism over others is its high maintainability. It is not difficult to carry out partial or complete repairs or replacement of parts in such a window regulator. Most often, the cable wears out, since it is very thin. The gears of this mechanism are made of plastic and tend to break when the glass is skewed. The cable window mechanism works quite slowly, especially if the glass rubber seals prevent this, so the electric motor tends to overheat and fail.

The newest window lifters that have recently begun to be used in VAZ 2110 cars are lever ones; their work is carried out using hinges. Such devices work very quickly and do not create noise inside the car, but they consume a considerable amount of power. They are used only in conjunction with an electric drive. The operation of the window lifter occurs due to the execution of a certain number of revolutions of the main flat gear, which transmits the revolutions to the levers of the mechanism. After this, the levers rotate and move the main plate on which the glass is attached.

The main disadvantage of the lever mechanism is the low speed of glass movement - the higher the glass rises, the lower the speed of its movement. The main feature of lever window lifters is the small size of the mechanism and the ability to install them on many VAZ cars. This type is installed on fully equipped VAZ 2110 cars, since it is more expensive and practical in its use. If your car has a cable or rack and pinion mechanism, then installing a lever mechanism will require some modernization of the car. It is better to carry it out at a specialized car service center.

Installation of window regulators on a VAZ sixth model

To carry out work on installing window regulators on a car, you will need the following tools and materials:

electric drill;
angle grinder (grinder);
set of drills;
screwdriver and set of keys;
ruler, marker, electrical tape.

Before starting work, do not forget to remove the positive terminal from the car battery. Installation of electric windows on a VAZ 2106 begins with disassembling the door on which it is planned to install the mechanism. To do this, remove the handle of the standard window lifter, unscrew the armrest, and remove the door handle trim.

Next, carefully prying the edges of the door trim with a screwdriver, remove it. Be careful not to damage the plastic door card holders. The side trims and rubber plugs for the cable ducts are also removed. Further work on installing the window lifter differs somewhat, depending on its type, so we will consider both cases in detail.

To install a special type of device, it is necessary to dismantle the standard window raising system. Further work should be carried out according to the following plan:

Secure the glass in the upper position using any available means.
Attach the adjustment plate with the roller slide installed inside it (or the pressure plates of the lever system) to the glass bracket.
Carefully insert the window lift mechanism (levers or rack with installed gear motor) into the door slot.
Attach the device mechanism to the glass bracket adjustment plate.
Make sure that the mechanism is in a position where the glass is in the maximum raised position. Next, secure the rack or linkage to the door. For this purpose, the manufacturer provides mounting holes. Make the corresponding slots in the door yourself by drilling holes of the required diameter.
Next, you need to pull the cables through the holes in the end of the door and the stand. Attach the wiring to the door with electrical tape, making sure it moves freely following the gear motor. This will help avoid cable breaks and prevent wires from knocking against the door while driving.

The VAZ 2106 power window diagram is provided by the manufacturer. You need to connect the device to the cigarette lighter wire. This way you can control the windows going up, regardless of the ignition being turned on. In addition, the circuit will be protected by a fairly powerful cigarette lighter fuse. After connecting the battery, check the operation of the power windows and their full travel. Adjust this setting if necessary.

To install universal window regulators, it is not necessary to remove the factory mechanisms; on the contrary, it is necessary to lubricate their structural elements and ensure ease of movement of the glass. We carry out the installation work as follows:

We drill holes in the door in accordance with the installation grooves of the brackets for fastening the mechanisms.
We fix the upper mechanism on the outside of the door by installing it on the drive splines of the factory window regulator.
Making sure that the device drive is in a crossed position, using brackets we fix the gear motor at the bottom of the door, on its inner part.
Connect the control cables according to the diagram.

To make the glass easier to move, it is recommended to lubricate all guides with silicone spray. This will not only increase the speed of glass movement, but also reduce the load on the electric motor and increase its service life. Additionally, you can install glass closers by connecting electric windows to them.

The price of these electronic devices is low, but they will further increase the convenience of driving your car.

Having electric windows in modern cars is not a luxury. This convenient device, which facilitates the process of raising and lowering the windows, simply must be in the car, including the VAZ 2106. Let's figure out how to install window regulators, how difficult it is to replace the standard mechanism and how to do it yourself.

Choosing window regulators

All manufactured window lifters can be divided into two main types:

universal window lifters (installed on the standard window lift control mechanism);
special devices for raising windows (mounted instead of factory window lifters).

Universal window regulators usually have a cable in their design, which significantly reduces their reliability. Cable breakage is one of the most common failures of devices of this type. However, universal window regulators are cheaper than special ones and are suitable for any car model. In addition, if they break down, you can use the car’s standard system.

Special window regulators are available for certain car models. Their installation is more complicated and involves dismantling the factory window raising system. Despite this, they have a huge advantage - reliability and speed of glass lifting. Such devices have a rack or lever design.

Installation of electric windows on a VAZ 2106

The main goal pursued when installing electric windows is comfortable control of the door windows. In addition, you do not need to be distracted from the road by turning the handles. Electric windows, which are currently produced for classic Zhiguli cars, are characterized by fairly high reliability, the possibility of self-installation and ease of control from a button. In addition, the mechanism can work in conjunction with the security system, allowing you to automatically close the windows when the car is armed.

Which ones to choose

Power windows can be installed in several ways:

With the installation of an electric motor without any major modifications. This method is simpler and less expensive. However, there is a possibility of motor failure due to overheating.
With installation of a separate kit. Despite the higher cost of such equipment, it is still justified by the reliability of the system during operation.

The most popular electric window lifters for the VAZ 2106 and other “classics” are rack-and-pinion mechanisms such as “FORWARD”. One of the main elements of the unit is the rack along which the gearmotor with gear moves. The latter are mounted on a metal carriage, to which the glass is fixed, and as a result of the rotation of the electric motor, the entire mechanism is set in motion. The set of the device in question consists of the following list:

installation instructions;
two electric windows;
wiring harness;
two switches;
decorative plugs for holes.

Electric window kit contains everything needed for installation

How to install

To install the mechanism in question, in addition to the set of equipment itself, you will need:

a set of keys;
flat and Phillips screwdrivers;
wires;
circuit breakers;
fastening elements.

Many car owners power their window lift motors from the cigarette lighter, which is simply convenient. If for some reason this option does not suit you, the wire will have to be routed under the hood to the battery. The device control buttons are also installed at the discretion of the owner: installation is possible either on the door, for example, in the armrest, or in the area of the gear shift knob or other convenient place.

We install electric windows on the “six” as follows:

Remove the negative terminal from the battery.
We lift the glass and secure it with tape, which will prevent it from falling when removing the old mechanism.
We dismantle the mechanical device.
We attach the adapter plate to the power window at a downward angle so that the glass lowers completely.
According to the instructions, we mark and drill holes on the door for mounting the gearmotor.
We fix the mechanism to the door.
We lower the glass and attach it to the plate through the corresponding holes.
We temporarily connect power to the electric motor and try to raise/lower the window. If everything works, install the buttons in the selected places, lay and connect the wires to them, as well as to the cigarette lighter.
We install the trim, and then the plug, closing the hole under the handle of the mechanical window lifter.

Video: installation of electric windows on the “six”

Initially, mechanical windows were installed on the VAZ “Six”. Today, many owners of these cars replace them with electrical devices, which not only increases the level of comfort, but also avoids periodic repairs or replacement of the manual mechanism. Malfunctions that arise with mechanical window lifters can be eliminated by almost every Zhiguli owner, as well as installing a structure with a gearmotor. To do this, a standard garage set of tools and familiarization with the step-by-step instructions will be enough.

Window lifter design

Drive types

Let's start with the drive mechanism, as already noted, it comes in two types - mechanical (also known as manual) and electric.

The mechanical one is a small gear reducer. With this type of drive, a cable actuator is usually used. Therefore, such a gearbox consists of two gears that mesh with each other. The drive gear is small in size, and it is the one that the driver rotates using a handle mounted on the door. The driven one is much larger in size; it is a drum for winding the cable. Due to the different sizes of these gears, relative ease of opening and closing the glass is achieved.
An electric drive also uses a gearbox, but of the “worm-gear” type. There is a worm on the electric motor shaft, which is engaged by a gear. The drive motor itself is of a reversible type, that is, when the polarity is changed, its direction of rotation changes, which allows the use of just one element to both lower and raise the glass. This drive is used with all types of actuators.

Actuators

1 – window lifter handle; 2 – facing of the window lifter handle; 3 – power window handle socket; 4 – window lift mechanism; 5 – upper rollers; 6 – screws for fastening the pressure plates; 7 – pressure plates; 8 – sliding glass brackets; 9 – sliding glass; 10 – cable; 11 – lower roller; 12 – bolt; 13 – tension roller

Now, regarding the actuators. With both types of drives, the cable type can be used. At the same time, for mechanical and electrical mechanisms their design differs, and significantly.

Let's consider the design of a mechanical drive and a cable actuator using the example of a VAZ-2107. In addition to the gearbox, it consists of 4 rollers between which the cable moves, with the ends fixed to the drum. One of the rollers is a tension roller and ensures proper tension of the cable for the entire period of operation, since it stretches during operation.

Two rollers are the top ones and they are connected using tension plates to the glass brackets. Because of this, when lowering or raising the rollers move along with the glass. The last roller is the bottom one, it is stationary and it is fixed to the door.

A cable is laid between these rollers in a special way. Moreover, it is not looped. When lifting or lowering, the end on one side is unwound from the gearbox drum, and the other is wound up. Thanks to this, the ability to move the upper rollers, and with them the side glass, is achieved.

In an electric drive, the cable actuator has a different design. It consists of a guide at the ends of which rollers are installed. The electric motor with gearbox is located slightly to the side of this guide. The drive cable is laid between the guide rollers and goes to the gearbox drum, where it is secured.

In the area between the guide rollers, a slider is attached to the cable, which in turn is connected to the glass. When the electric motor is turned on, one side of the cable begins to wind onto the drum, and the other begins to unwind. Due to this, the cable moves between the rollers, and with it the slider with the glass.

The lever actuator operates on a different principle. There is a lever, at one end of which there is a semicircular gear sector connected to the driven gear of the gearbox. Its other end is connected to a bar on which the glass is mounted. The lever on the sector side is connected by means of a bracket to a fixed plate fixed to the door.

There are actuators that include two levers in the design, with the second one playing the role of an auxiliary one.

The third type of actuator is rack and pinion, and there are several types of it. One of these mechanisms has a fixed guide with a gear sector along its entire length. This sector engages with the gearbox gear. In this design, the motor and gearbox are movable and connected to the glass. That is, when turned on, the engine with the gearbox and glass begin to move relative to the rack.

Also, the design of electric windows includes a control mechanism, which consists of ordinary keys through which the electric motors are powered from the vehicle’s on-board network.

Sequence of actions when installing a power window

In order to tune the “six” by installing electric window lifts, it is not necessary to go to a car repair shop. You can do this yourself. On the modern automotive parts market there is a large selection of power window kits. To install the device yourself, no special knowledge or skills are required. Typically, the power window kit includes electrical wiring, control keys, and fasteners.

Installing the mechanism is quite simple and is done in the following sequence.

Remove the door and install a power window. Use self-tapping screws to attach to the car door frame. This should be done carefully so that the door does not become deformed as a result.
Check the glass movement for ease of sliding. Adjust the guides if necessary.
Connect the electrical wiring, referring to the wiring diagram. Route the wires under the panel.
Assemble the door by installing the plugs in place of the handles.
Mount the control key in the instrument panel.
Connect the battery and check the system's functionality. This completes the installation.

Installation guide for VAZ 2107 glass lift

The installation process consists of the following steps:

First, you should carefully study the installation instructions that come with the kit.
Next, to ensure safety during installation, you must turn off the power supply to the vehicle.
Then you need to lift the glass all the way up and secure it with tape.
Next, according to the scheme described earlier, it is necessary to remove the old lifting mechanism.
We choose a place for the electric motor, usually it is placed at the bottom of the doors. We place the electric motor in the chosen place and make markings for fasteners.
Using a drill, we make holes according to the markings for installing the mechanism.
We mount the EPS in the chosen place and secure it with fasteners.
Installing the mechanism in its original place Self-tapping screws are included with the ESP, but it is better to replace them with screws with nuts and a washer for fixation.
After installing the electric motor, which is secured with long bolts, be sure to put two nuts between the door and the electric motor brackets. Thus, during operation, friction of the cable along the door frame can be avoided.
Next, you need to lay the cable in its regular place between the rollers. According to the instructions, the cable tubes must intersect inside the door.
Then you should find a place for the seats of the lift control buttons and prepare them.
The best places to do this are the dashboard and door handles. One option is to replace the standard buttons on the dashboard. Installing a strip on a door
We lower the glass down. We fix the glass in the mounting rail. We perform all operations carefully so as not to damage fragile parts.
At the next stage we will connect the electrical wiring.
Before doing this, you need to carefully study the connection diagram that is included in the package. Installation should be carried out strictly according to the diagram. Wiring diagram
First you need to connect the wires to the center console of the car. They are pulled through a protective corrugated pipe. It’s better to run a separate wire with a fuse so as not to load the cigarette lighter wires!
We bring the wires out through the prepared holes for the control buttons on the dashboard, connect them and place them in the designated place for them.
Window control buttons
When connecting the power circuit of electric glass lifts to the vehicle's on-board electrical network, fuses must be used. The circuit according to which the electrical wiring is installed must ensure the use of electric drives only when the power unit is turned on.
The wires that pass through the cabin must be insulated with plastic tubes. They should be laid under the sheathing.
After installing the electrical wiring, connect the negative terminal to the battery.

This completes the replacement of mechanical windows on the VAZ 2107 with electric ones with your own hands. Now you can begin checking and adjusting the installed device.

Using the installed electric drive, we raise the glass up. It is necessary to adjust the mechanism so that when the glass is raised all the way, there are no gaps left anywhere. After checking and adjusting, you need to put the door trim back in place in the reverse order. Instead of the mechanical window lifter handle, we install a plug.

Installing electric windows yourself increases comfort for the driver and passengers thanks to the ability to control the opening and closing of the side window using a button. In addition, the presence of electric windows allows you to set the alarm so that when arming, all windows automatically close.

Removing the window regulator

After the door trim is removed, you can proceed directly to removing the window lifter.

For this you will need:

crosshead screwdriver;
two heads ( 10 and 8
);
hammer or ratchet handle;
extension.

The first stage of work

To remove the window lifter, you need to unscrew the fastening of the window lifter cable clamp, which is held on by two bolts: to release the cable in this place, you just need to loosen one of the bolts and the clamp itself will fall down.

loosen the roller nut ; it is held on by three bolts.
Next
, once all the bolts are unscrewed, the car enthusiast will only have to remove and unscrew just one nut, which is located on the inside of the door under the window lifter fastening mechanism, and after this nut is removed, all that remains is to carefully pull the mechanism to the right and pull it out of the door entirely.

Repair of a window lifter on a classic using the example of a VAZ 2101

Repair of a window lifter on a classic using the example of a VAZ 2101

Driver's door A rather familiar situation for owners of classics. The glass does not hold.

The reason is a malfunction of the window lifter, or a break in its cable.

Let's move on to disassembling the door. We unscrew all the handles on the doors,

carefully (so as not to break the plastic fasteners), remove the door card with a screwdriver

Let's see. The cause of the malfunction was that one end of the cable jumped out of the fastener

Let's move on to the repair. We need to remove the window regulator itself (it is located on the inside of the door) and re-wind the tights around it.

To do this, use a size 8 wrench to unscrew the three bolts of the window lifter holder.

If the cables are out of place, twisted, tangled, they need to be twisted. We put a handle on the lift and screw (equalize) the cables onto it.

Tuning a VAZ 2106 using the installation of electric windows

Most modern cars are equipped with such a necessary device as electric windows at the factory. This necessary and useful function greatly simplifies the process of raising and lowering the windows.

The VAZ 2106 cannot boast of this option in the factory configuration, however, its owners are not deprived of the attention of car equipment manufacturers who produce power window kits for self-installation. To install electric windows on a VAZ 2106, you must have some plumbing skills, as well as experience in carrying out electrical work.

Replacing the classic mechanism

For the VAZ 2106, mechanisms for raising windows come in two varieties:

Kinds	Characteristics
Cable.	They consist of an electric drive with a gearbox and a reel with a wound cable. The upper drum is connected to the classic window lifter through slots and is designed to operate the cable.
Rack and pinion.	They have a different design and work on the principle of a steering rack in a car. Such devices are good for hard-moving car windows, since the mechanism itself moves easily.

The classic mechanism on the VAZ 2106 is a simple device for raising and lowering the windows, which is controlled using a handle. Despite its simplicity, Six car owners encounter situations when the device needs to be replaced. Given the age of the car, the mechanism may break or malfunction.

The order of your actions when carrying out the procedure for removing a faulty product and installing a new one is as follows.

Remove the door where the window regulator will be replaced.
Disconnect the bar that secures the glass to the lifting cable. Move the cable itself to the side and remove the device.
Check how easily the rollers rotate. If necessary, lubricate them with lithol.
Attach the new mechanism to the standard connections, passing the cable along the rollers, as indicated in the installation diagram.
Pull the cable over the rollers without sagging or strong tension.
Secure the handles while rotating the lifting mechanism of the VAZ 2106 window regulator. The entire structure should rotate smoothly, without jolts.
Fix the glass in the lower position, lower the device, attach the cable to the bar.

Replacing the “six” window lifting mechanism is quite simple and does not require a lot of time and money.
