Removal and installation of front seats on VAZ 2114 and 2115

The first step is to disconnect the power wires from the heated seats, if such an option is present on your car. Then, using a 13mm wrench or a socket, unscrew the 4 nuts securing the front seat pipe. This can be clearly seen in the photo below:

If it is problematic to do this using a head, then you can use a regular open-end wrench. If necessary, the torsion bars should also be pulled out by pulling each edge with medium force.

Now we jerk the front part of the car seat up, resulting in the following:

In this case, the seat mounting bolts in the front part become easily accessible. Unscrew the fastenings of the slide on both sides.

Now, by lifting the lever, we move the seat forward, thereby freeing access to the bolt securing the slide in the rear. We also unscrew one bolt on each side:

After which you can remove the seat, because nothing else holds it.

The seat is replaced if necessary and installation is carried out in the reverse order. It is worth noting that if you replace it with a new one, you will have to pay at least 4,500 rubles for one new seat 2114 or 2115. But the quality of the seats sold in the store is obviously worse than the factory ones. Therefore, the best option is to buy used seats at a salvage yard from a fresh car at a more than adequate price.

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

flat screwdriver;
ratchet;
knob;
8 mm head (or Torx 10 - in late models);
13 mm socket or a simple 13mm wrench.

The front seats are dismantled according to the following scheme:

Disconnect the heated seat wiring harnesses (if equipped).
Using a 13mm wrench, unscrew the four nuts securing the front seat tube.

If necessary, remove the torsion bars by pulling forcefully at their edges.

Raise the seat (you need to do this with a jerk) to its highest position (as far as possible), after which access to its fastening will open.

Unscrew the bolts securing the seat slides in the front (on both sides).
Pull the locking lever to move the seat forward.

Unscrew the bolts securing the seat slide at the rear (on both sides).
Remove the vacated seat.

Installing the seat in the car is done in exactly the same way, but in the reverse order (it should be noted that this diagram is relevant for both front seats - the driver's and the passenger's).

When purchasing new front seats, the best option would be to give preference to the so-called anatomical ones, which allow you to feel comfortable behind the wheel even on long trips.

Move the backrest lock drive handle to the right (if you look in the direction of the car) and release the backrest of the VAZ 2114 seat. Unscrew the two bolts securing the hinges and remove the backrest assembly with the luggage compartment carpet. Install the rear seat of the VAZ 2113 in the reverse order.

Replacing rear passenger seats

In addition to replacing or repairing the front seats, quite often the question arises of how to remove the rear seat on a VAZ 2114. In most cases, such an operation becomes necessary when the car is often used to transport passengers in the rear seats, and the existing seats are for some reason reasons are not satisfied.

In this case, you can dismantle the base seats and install new ones in their place - more appropriate to the anatomical data of the passengers (currently, the choice of such seats, having a wide variety of shapes and sizes, is quite wide).

In addition, many car enthusiasts install rear seats from various foreign cars, most often from Ford or Audi - since they are much more comfortable than the “original” VAZ seats, and at the same time can be installed in the car with minimal changes to the design of the fasteners.

In order to remove the seats themselves, you need to perform a number of simple operations:

use a flat screwdriver or a strong blade to pry off the protective lining located just below the seat cushion;
unscrew the two fastening bolts holding the pillow from the sides (a 10 mm socket is required);
unscrew the bolts located at the bottom of the seats (with the same head);
remove the vacated seats (they are no longer secured by anything).

Installation of new passenger seats in place is carried out (as in the case of the front seats) in exactly the same order, but in reverse order.

If, instead of the basic one, a seat from a different brand of car is installed, then there is a possibility that additional changes will need to be made to its design (nominally, additional mounting holes will be drilled, but in most situations these changes may be much more).

Alternative seating

As we can see from the above, the answer to the question - how to raise the rear seat of a VAZ 2114 - is quite simple, since it is attached using a minimum number of fixing elements and does not require the use of a large number of tools. But another, no less important issue is the choice of new, alternative seats.

Many motorists, as already mentioned, install on their VAZ 2114 seats from other models and even other brands of cars (for example, seats from Ford). At the same time, when choosing them, you should pay close attention to their dimensions and fastening features (although very often motorists look specifically at the “performance” characteristics - convenience, wear resistance, anatomy, etc.).

The same rule applies to the front seats - the fewer modifications that need to be made during installation, the better. It should also be noted that when replacing the front seats, you should pay attention to the so-called “anatomical” seats (for example, manufactured by UNP).

They allow you to spend long periods of time driving and travel for many hours without feeling any fatigue or discomfort in your back and joints (such seats are especially recommended for frequent and long drives in urban environments).

What are the seats suitable for without modifications?

Most car owners want to find seats that will fit in place, and replacing them will not take much time. But, based on the extensive information on the Internet on the topic “which seats are suitable for the VAZ 2114 without modifications,” we can conclude that in this case they install models from domestic cars: Seven, Ten, Priora, Kalina.

The AvtoVAZ plant is not always in a hurry to change the design of various elements. It's easier to do the same thing, changing the filling a little. Therefore, the sleds of these chairs are very similar and fit almost perfectly.

If we talk about suitable seats from a foreign car for the VAZ 2114, the information here is largely blurred. Many people install seats from: BMW E60, Hyundai i40 or Hyundai i30, Skoda Octavia A5, Audi A4. But before you go for disassembly, it is better to measure the length of the skid, perhaps they will be able to choose a more suitable option for your car.

But due to different body designs, problems arise that some fasteners will fit without difficulty, while others will have to be adjusted.

Replacing seats

Installing seats in a car may be necessary for various reasons, so in each case there are certain nuances that are worth paying attention to. The choice of replacement will largely depend on the location of the interior elements. For example, the front seats are replaced most often because they are used more actively. Drivers use their cars every day, so comfort during the trip plays an important role for them. Depending on your driving style and the purpose of the car, first choose the type of seat, and then the model.

The two rear passenger seats can be replaced if more than two people are needed frequently. Models here should be selected in accordance with your finances.

Because of these operational features, it is worth approaching the choice of seemingly identical seats in different ways.

When selecting a replacement for both options, you should pay attention to many factors: height, weight of the person, figure, as well as other anatomical features. If the car is used only by family members, then you should take care of their comfort and choose seat models that best suit their requirements.

Removing and replacing front seats

Now it’s worth talking about how to remove the front pair of seats of a VAZ 2114. For dismantling you will need a standard kit:

flat screwdriver;
set of removable heads;
ratchet;
collar

The disassembly procedure is as follows:

We secure the car for the duration of the work. At will, we select one of the seats from the pair and push it forward all the way.
You will need to remove the cables.
After the cables have been removed, you need to tilt the seat back as far as possible until the fastenings underneath are visible.
The chair is secured with four nuts that hold the entire structure on the bracket. Unscrew them, part of the structure should now “move” freely.
Next, lift the seat to gain access to the remaining fasteners.
You need to tighten two bolts. After this, the seat can be removed and taken out of the cabin.
We remove the second front seat in the same way.

What would be suitable for seats with minimal modifications?

If it is possible to use a welding machine or an angle grinder, then you can install almost any option in your car. In this case, it is better to start from the concept of “price-quality”.

Useful : Which mirrors fit without modifications on the VAZ 2114?

For example, there is the selection and installation of seats from Lancer 9. The main difficulties appear in fitting:

Correctly measure the angle of the seats;
The location of the structure relative to the floor, ceiling;
Get into the factory mounts;
Location between tunnel and door.

After the adjustment, the modification of the seats for the VAZ 2114 begins. Usually, a profile pipe is used on which they are fixed. Or they weld it to the slide, modifying it to fit the factory studs.

A lot depends on imagination and experience. For example, in the photo the fastenings were modified in a similar way.

Oddly enough, the seats from Lancer 9 in the interior of the VAZ 2114 look very harmonious.

Many people use seats from Subaru cars. They are quite affordable, can be found within 5,000 rubles. Replacement occurs on the same points as in the situation with the past. In this case, designs from Subaru Forester .

But remember that when using seats from a right-hand drive car, a large number of settings will be received not by the driver, but by the passenger. Of course, they can be swapped, but access to the settings will be limited, since the settings are usually located on the door side, but you will have them on the tunnel side. Ready-made anatomical seats for the VAZ 2114

Rear passenger seats

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

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

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

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

Secure fixation

When choosing new seats for your VAZ 2114, pay attention not only to their price and convenience, but also to the method of fastening. Some seat models are very difficult to fit into the cabin, although they may suit your preferences. Improperly securing the seats can cause injury, especially at high speeds or in accidental collisions. If you have found a suitable model of seat, but it is not securely attached to its future installation location, take the car to a workshop where all the work will be carried out for you.

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

We improve the interior with covers

How to install covers on a VAZ 2114

It is entirely possible to cope with this task yourself, so no additional costs are expected. The standard set of covers includes upholstery for seats, backrests and headrests.

Before installation, it is advisable to accurately understand each element. That is, it is important to determine where each cover will be installed. The tensioning process must begin from the front seats. Step-by-step instruction:

Remove the head restraints.
Pull the covers over the backs.
Using hooks, secure the elastic bands that are located along the central seam. It must be threaded through the gap between the seat and backrest.
Next, the cover is pulled over the seat and secured in the same way.
The final stage is the installation of head restraints.
To install the covers on the rear seats, they must first be dismantled and removed from the car.

During work, keep in mind that the covers with zippers are pulled over the backrests, the rest are intended for chairs. Is the factory trim already worn out? Then, before installing the covers, you need to bring it into proper shape (alter it or dry clean it).

If it is necessary to carry out a complete reupholstery of the interior, then it is better to entrust this work to professionals.

Additional replacement options

For all city cars, the front seats should be quite comfortable. If you are going to update your interior, pay attention to anatomical seats. A correctly selected anatomical seat will allow the driver to find a comfortable position for driving the car. It might seem like a small thing, but it relieves unpleasant back and neck pain, as well as stiffness in the limbs during prolonged sitting.

Among seat manufacturers, it is recommended to look at products from UNP.

Removing an old car seat can be much easier than installing a new one. Choose a replacement carefully, do not rush, because your comfort during the trip will depend on this choice. The optimal choice is an anatomical seat for driving on city roads. Depending on the number of functions, the price of an anatomical model may vary, so you can always find something suitable for you
