The car driver needs to see what is happening on the road behind him when he is overtaking, turning around or reversing. In this case, the mirrors of the VAZ-2109 serve as his eyes. After all, if God did not give a person eyes on the back of his head, deciding that eyes were not needed at the back, then this is fair if a person moves on his own two feet. It’s a completely different matter when you have to sit behind the wheel; you can’t do without the ability to see. “Nine”, like all cars of this class, is equipped with three reflective devices: an interior one and two side ones.
We set up car mirrors correctly ourselves
Car mirrors (interior and outside side) are designed to ensure safe traffic.
However, their presence does not yet protect against troubles on the road; the main thing is correct adjustment. How to competently organize an overview view, what a “blind”/“dead” zone is and how to increase its viewing angle, we will talk in this article. The part of the road space not controlled by the driver is called the “blind” or “dead” zone. Seat headrests, body elements, protruding cargo, or an overly fat passenger can block the view from the outside.
There is practically no blind spot on the left side of a left-hand drive car. To achieve maximum visibility, a spherical mirror with variable curvature is often installed. (It has a vertical dividing strip.) Despite the fact that the curvature of the glass slightly distorts the view, in this reflection a car moving in the adjacent lane is clearly visible.
There is always a blind area on the right side of a left-hand drive car. Therefore, in addition to installing aspherical mirrors, it is necessary to control the space by turning the head.
What are car mirrors and how to set up maximum visibility
Installation of heated mirror elements
To the list of articles
We remove the mirror. To do this, pull off the plastic handle of the mirror adjustment lever. Use a screwdriver to remove the plastic cover underneath. Unscrew the 3 screws securing the mirror. Everything is simple here.
Next, remove the mirror element. To do this, remove the cover on the back of the mirror by prying it off with a screwdriver; unscrew the nut and pull out the mirror element. It is convenient to remove the element when the adjustment lever is in the extreme position.
When installing the mirror, carefully lower the wires inside the door. Next, we lead them through a protective tube (corrugation) into the interior and connect them to the rear window heating button through a new button. Ergon mirror elements have a resistance of 8-9 ohms and consume low current, so connection via a relay is not necessary. The S1 button is conveniently located on the left side of the instrument panel, where the rear window heating button is located. The wire in the cabin can be routed along the bottom of the instrument panel on the left, under the heater levers in the center, in the niche under the glove box on the right (it will run in a straight line with a minimum length). Don't forget to connect the ground from the body to the doors, because... loops conduct current unreliably.
Often heated mirrors come in an anti-glare version and with a left aspherical mirror. The photo below compares an aspherical (top) and a conventional (bottom) mirror. An aspherical mirror produces a smaller image, and at first it appears very distorted. However, the area covered by the mirror is much larger, which helps when cornering, for example, at merging streams. Anti-reflective coating gives a darker, more pleasing picture.
PS: of course, everything can be done simpler and faster, but the above option assumes guaranteed reliable installation of the electrical part.
And update from 10.2012: a HU-3/WF-3 connector was installed on the wires leading to the mirror, which makes it easy to remove the mirror. You don't need to pay attention to the third wire - it's for illumination.

How to adjust the side rear view mirror
Inexperienced drivers often adjust mirror elements according to the same erroneous principle: the driver must keep his head still and at the same time align the mirror so that the side of the car is displayed in it.
This adjustment method should not be used for one simple reason: a rear view mirror installed in this way will simply duplicate the image.
For correct adjustment, the following algorithm is used:
- To adjust the left rear view mirror, sit in the driver's seat and turn to the left.
- Looking out the window, turn the mirror until you see a car fender in it. The image of the car should occupy a little more than a quarter of the entire mirror element.
- To adjust the right side mirror, move to the center of the car interior.
- Rotate the mirror element until a little more than ¼ of the image is occupied by the car's wing.
Replacing side mirror glass using the example of Priora, 2110, Ford Focus and Honda Fit
- 1. Apply pressure on the lower part of the mirror until a gap forms on top;
- 2. Insert a screwdriver into the gap that has formed and, using lever pressure with a screwdriver, disconnect the fastening clamps;
- 3. Remove the mirror by disconnecting the electrical contacts;
- 4. Then, in strict reverse order to the previous one, install the mirror element in its place.
- 1. Press down the lower part of the surface of the mirror element until a gap forms at the top between the glass and the side mirror housing;
- 2. Then, using a curved object, or if there is none, a screwdriver through the resulting gap, apply pressure to the center of the mirror from the inside. With this impact, its retaining clips should become detached. It is highly not recommended to press on the side with a screwdriver, as there is a possibility of damaging the mirror.
- 1. Press on the side of the mirror surface closest to the car body. It should come off on the opposite side;
- 2. Grasping the protruding side of the mirror, pull it in a horizontal direction opposite to the location of the car. The latches should come loose. After these simple manipulations it should be in your hands.
- 1. Gently press the upper part of the mirror surface with your hand, while the lower edge should stick out;
- 2. Grasping the lower part of the mirror, disconnect it from the clamps and hooks securing it to the drive;
- 3. Disconnect the electrical contact for the heated mirror.

Internal
Let's start with the rearview mirror installed inside your car.
Interior rear view element
There are several reasons why the driver will want or have to dismantle this element:
- The desire to replace with a more advanced, new model;
- Installation of electronics, parking sensors;
- The glass or plastic case is damaged, broken and does not allow further use of the component;
- There is a need to install sensors that are not included in the standard equipment of your car.
Replacement
Do not rush to remove the old mirror if you have not yet purchased a new product. Sometimes you have to wait for weeks because of the speed of delivery, and sometimes it’s enough to go to the market or store, where you will immediately find the desired product.
VAZ 2114 were produced until 2009, which requires the use of a standard type of fastening consisting of two bolts. This method of fixation has been used since 1976.
The downside of bolt-on mounting is the impossibility of installing an interior mirror from a foreign car. It’s good that there are many domestic products on the market that perfectly match the VAZ 2114.
You can start working.
- Remove the plug from the bolts. Although it is not always present.
- Holding the mirror body with one hand, begin to unscrew the mounting bolts with the other.
- Remove the old mirror.
- Check the condition of the seat and clean it.
- If the old bolts are covered with rust, it is better to replace them with similar new ones.
- Screw in the new mirror using the bolts.
- Insert decorative plugs so that the bolt heads do not spoil the appearance of the interior.
The simplest fasteners
The bolts should be fixed as tightly as possible to avoid damage to the glass as a result of shaking and vibration.
We install mirrors from Priora on the VAZ 2106!
Hi all! Today, in the “Tuning” section, I’ll tell you how to inexpensively improve the appearance of the “six” at home by installing rear-view mirrors from the Lada Priora on it. The work is of medium complexity, therefore, with a little experience and “direct hands”, any novice car enthusiast can do it.
By the way, Priora side mirrors are not always installed purely for aesthetic reasons, or the desire to stand out from the crowd, to make the car more attractive. Many people associate the installation of rear-view mirrors from Priora with convenience. The fact is that the owners of the “sixth” know better than anyone that adjusting the side mirrors on these cars is a real pain, especially while driving. In addition, nothing is visible in these insignificantly small mirrors, there is no visibility, so driving in reverse in a “classic” often turns out to be an even more difficult task.
Side mirrors "Granta" style
Some design solutions in VAZ models can be called successful. “Grant” mirrors look great not only on the “Grant” itself, but also on models from early years of production.
The modified mount allows the model to be installed on the Samara family. The price of the version with mechanical adjustment is about 4,000 rubles. There are several advantages of the “Grant” style:
- Good review;
- Easy lever to adjust the tilt of the mirror element;
- Stylish appearance.
The heating and turn signal repeater function makes this variation even more interesting to buy. Installation is carried out without problems and unnecessary modifications. Strong fixation is ensured by a modified fastener design. If the listed varieties are not enough, then we will give a couple more examples of which mirrors are suitable for the VAZ 2114.
Installation and connection of heated mirrors on a VAZ 2114
Today we will discuss the issue of installing and connecting heated mirrors on VAZ models 2114, 2109 and 2110. Domestic cars in most cases come with side reflectors without a heating function, which, of course, spoils the impression and pleasure of operation, especially in winter. Therefore, with our weather and climate, installing parts with heating capabilities is simply necessary.
Principle of operation.
Basically, most of these parts consist of an electric heater, a control button, or a control panel and electrical wiring. The electrical circuit of the part is connected to the on-board circuit, as well as to the car network. When the corresponding button is pressed, the circuit closes and the heating is activated. Thanks to this system, the ice thaws and the windows do not fog up.
Installation information.
Before you change the side reflectors, it is worth learning about the methods that you can use.
You can purchase ready-made parts that have a heating function, but you can also create reflectors with your own hands. Since the price of ready-made spare parts may hit your pocket a little. You can choose to purchase spare parts separately and then assemble them into a finished one-piece part. But the cheapest way, of course, is to assemble the tuning device yourself. Here the price will be reduced to a minimum, and work efficiency, on the contrary, will be at its best. Moreover, by carrying out all the installation work yourself, you will be able to optimize the relay and all operating principles as much as possible. You can also consider installing reflectors from a VAZ 2110 to a VAZ 2114, since the standard mounts in this model are ideally suited and positioned for such an operation. In addition, they will be ideally installed on the VAZ 2109.
Incandescent lamp method.
One good method, and also a cheap one, is to install car-type incandescent lamps in the reflectors. Such lamps have sufficient power (21 watts) to melt any frozen glass in a couple of minutes. The ideal way out of this method is to install two light bulbs of 10 watts each, while the load will not be so great, and you will certainly be satisfied with the result of such tuning.
Reflectors for VAZ 2114.
As we have already said, perhaps the largest category of cars that do not have heated side reflectors as standard are VAZ cars. If you have already decided on the type of device you are purchasing or creating yourself, you can proceed to installing it on your machine. You do not at all have to dismantle and disassemble the mirror housing; you are only required to perform the following operations: 1. Bend the reflector housing against the movement of the car, which will require some effort. 2. Remove the white pin and remove it from the housing. You can see the pin in the gap that is formed after dismantling the housing. 3. Turn the mirror element in any direction that is convenient for you so that you can reach the element. 4. Now you need to apply force to the center of the reflector so that it comes out of the latch. Congratulations, the part has been dismantled. All you have to do is do everything in the reverse order so that the new part, upon completion of tuning, is installed correctly.

How to replace a mirror on a VAZ 2110
I once went to auto stores to look for a plug for the hydraulic corrector in the headlight. I couldn't find it anywhere. Well, in order not to offend the car, I decided to change the mirror element of the outside rear view mirror. The factory mirror became swollen with something and became unpleasant to look at.
First I removed the mirror itself. He unscrewed the screw in the handle. He pulled it out (it was difficult to give in). I opened the door and lowered the window (this is much more convenient). The triangular overlay was also difficult to give in. There are three pins, I pry it with a screwdriver and take it out. All that remains is to unscrew the mirror mounting bolts. There I immediately remembered how they were adjusted (the holes are oval, you can move them back and forth). I unscrewed them and took them off. In the store, the salesman intimidated me that one of them tried to do it on the spot and broke three mirrors, and advised me to go and do it calmly at home on a hard surface. He brought it home and started... He twisted it, turned it, and tried to bend the bottom of the mirror with his finger. It didn’t give in at all. I decided to unscrew this screw
I pulled it back and there was this white plastic piece there, it just stuck out.
In principle, on newer mirrors, the mirror element should easily snap off. The main thing is to press with something curved under the mirror in the middle
I read somewhere that they tried hitting something soft until the mirror element flew out. Now installation. This could not have been easier to do. The main thing is to do everything carefully and not to overdo it with pressing the mirror element. I put the mirror on white plastic. I tightened the same screw so that the mirror would lock into place and not dangle. He leveled it approximately and began to press little by little, as if rocking, until the mirror was fixed. There was no particularly strong click, but it was clear that the mirror element was in place.
Repairing a mirror, namely replacing the mirror element of a VAZ 2110, is not a complicated operation that can be quickly done with your own hands, and after watching the video, the mirror element in the side mirror will be possible to replace even faster and without unnecessary hassle.
What mirrors are suitable for the VAZ 2109
The car driver needs to see what is happening on the road behind him when he is overtaking, turning around or reversing. In this case, the mirrors of the VAZ-2109 serve as his eyes. After all, if God did not give a person eyes on the back of his head, deciding that eyes were not needed at the back, then this is fair if a person moves on his own two feet. It’s a completely different matter when you have to sit behind the wheel; you can’t do without the ability to see. “Nine”, like all cars of this class, is equipped with three reflective devices: an interior one and two side ones.
Interior rear view mirror
The rear view mirror is installed in the cabin. In order for it to serve not only for passengers who want to fix their makeup, but to actually help the driver keep an eye on the road, the rear window of the car should not be tinted, and there should be no curtains or objects on it that block the view.
The rear view device is mounted in the center of the car, on the windshield. The case is made of durable plastic with mirror glass inserted inside. The articulated holder allows it to be adjusted according to the driver’s height and driving style. The driver usually turns the mirror towards himself at a slight degree to ensure a good view.
Interior mirrors have been refined and improved in recent years. Manufacturers offer car owners so-called panoramic reflectors, which provide a wider view of the road than conventional ones, with or without anti-reflective coating.
Side mirrors
But the interior mirror still does not provide a complete view of the road, and to expand it, two more mirror devices are installed on the car body next to the front doors at the driver’s eye level. Standard side mirrors have a small adjustment range and limited options
Therefore, the attention of car owners is attracted to more modern and improved products with such additions as:
- anti-reflective coating that protects the driver from unexpected glare from the headlights of a car behind;
- heated side mirrors, protecting them from icing, which reduces visibility;
- turn signal repeater.
All improvements make driving easier and safer. There are a wide variety of viewing reflector styles available for sale at different price ranges. They can be oval or rectangular, with rounded corners, with or without legs.
Formula 1 style side mirrors
These non-standard side mirrors first appeared on Formula 1 racing cars and immediately attracted the attention of car enthusiasts. f1 models are intended for those who:
- energetic and prefers a sporty style,
- strives for individuality in everything;
- ready to improve the aerodynamic properties and change the appearance of the standard nine with the help of tuning (from English - adjustment, tuning).
