How to replace wipers on Lada Vesta
Changing the brushes, lift them until a right angle is formed and turn them. Now the wiper can be easily removed and replaced with a new one by reversing the steps. This procedure is optional, but if possible, it is worth taking the chance.
Tests conducted by different brands have established that the best replacement option is RainBlade Advanced brand wipers. These brushes have shown stable performance and can successfully compete with famous products. They have no equal in pricing policy. The car owner should not skimp on quality, and good products within 1,500 rubles will make you forget about problems in the cold or poor cleaning.
A good car owner should renew their windshield wiper blades every season. Some Lada Vesta owners complain of scratches after using standard wipers. If the reason was in the windshield wipers, the official dealer will replace the glass free of charge. Let's look at the sizes of windshield wipers on the Lada Vesta.
ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more". Standard wiper sizes are:
Standard wiper sizes are:
- driver's side – 600 mm;
- on the passenger side - 450 mm.
Distance measurement size:
- from the edge of the driver's wiper to the top of the glass - 50 mm;
- from the edge of the driver's wiper to the left body pillar - 280 mm;
- from the edge of the passenger wiper to the top of the glass – 80 mm;
- from the edge of the passenger wiper to the right body pillar - 40 mm;
- between the wipers in the rest position - 35 mm.
Fastening type: hook.
Table of wiper sizes for Lada Vesta models of different editions:
Year of issue | Passenger side(mm) | Driver's side(mm) |
2018 | 450 | 600 |
2017 | 450 | 600 |
2016 | 450 | 600 |
2015 | 450 | 600 |
Preparatory stage
During the preparation stage, no tools will be required, with the exception of a new windshield wiper. If deformation of the driver is detected due to an impact or collision, then use an open-end wrench set to “17” to unscrew the fastening nut.
To replace the brush:
- We press the latch on the leash.
- We remove the brush body from the hook.
- We put on a new “windshield wiper”.
By analogy, we replace the brush on the right side, at the rear, if the body of the Lada Vesta is a station wagon or hatchback.

Selecting wiper blades
Depending on the purpose, wiper blades may be different. They are distinguished by:
- Degrees of resistance to low temperatures.
- Size.
- The cycle of work.
Frame
Frame brushes are made of metal with plastic inserts. If they are used frequently, their resource quickly runs out. All fastening elements in them become loose. Also, these wipers cannot work at low temperatures.
Frameless
They are based on plastic and rubber. They are arched. The advantage of this type of brushes is their resistance to low temperatures and the absence of noise during operation. They can also last for a long period of time. They can be easily updated if necessary. To do this, you just need to choose the appropriate size brushes.
How to install brushes
Installation of hook type brushes is very simple. It is necessary to pull the leash with the old brush towards you, remove the old one by pulling it out of the leash, then release the new brush from the packaging and install it on the leash adapter. On the Internet you can find many videos showing the process of installing brushes with detailed comments. If it seems difficult to install yourself or the driver is a girl, you can use the services of a car service.
But installing wipers with mounts under valt5.1 is somewhat more difficult, although there are no particular difficulties here either. Video of installing wipers is below
Good luck with your purchase and further use.
About the puller
I was simply afraid of breaking not only the “leash” itself, but also the engine, the rod, and something else. But here everything is calculated in thousands of rubles. For example, the holder itself for my AVEO costs 2100 rubles, that is, a pair of 4200 - to put it mildly, FUCKING! Now imagine if you break something inside! I'm just afraid to guess how much it will cost.
Therefore, I went to the service station and decided to remove it there, but it turned out to be not such an easy task. The thing is that there are pullers for bearings, such as hubs. BUT, they are simply too big and don’t fit. There are other options for generator bearings, they are smaller, but still large for me and I can’t get close.

Problems with the wipers
Therefore, it is recommended to constantly monitor the operation of the wipers and promptly correct various problems. The principle of operation of wipers is simple, and most problems can be resolved independently. The main question here is to know a little about the operating principle of this unit.
In the case when the wipers on the Lada Kalina start to work poorly, you first need to check the mounting block, as well as the integrity of the fuse. As noted, this reason is the most common. Even a beginner can fix it. To replace the fuse, you must remove the cover from the fuse box. It is located under the steering wheel on the left. There is a diagram on this cover that will help you figure out where each fuse is located. It must be found, checked and replaced if necessary.
Intermittent operation
In this case, attention should be paid to the relay. Wiper relay number K6
Wiper relay number K6.
Also, if necessary, replace the relay. It is located next to the fuses in the mounting block. If the relay is working properly, then you need to check the drive. All contacts are inspected for oxidation. If necessary, they are replaced with new ones.
If this does not help, then you will need to check the entire system with a tester. In this case, make sure that voltage is supplied to the terminals.
Checking and repairing the wiper motor
If current is supplied to the windshield wiper motor, but it does not work, it will most likely need to be replaced.
To do this, you need to disconnect the terminals from the battery and remove the protection from the wires. Then the screws that hold the contacts are unscrewed. Then the required element is changed and the system is assembled in the reverse order.
If electricity does not flow to the electric motor, the wiper switch will need to be replaced. To do this, you need to turn off the power to the car and remove the trim from the steering column. Remove the old switch and install the new one. Next, reassemble in reverse order.
Gearbox and trapezoid
If voltage is supplied to the electric motor, but the wipers do not spin, then the gearbox or trapezoid has failed. The gearbox axis should rotate after it is removed. If this is the case, but the trapezoid remains motionless, then you need to check the splines that drive it. If there is no damage, then you need to tighten the nut on the connection more tightly. If the splines are worn out, this element must be replaced.
Today we will choose wipers for the Lada Vesta. Let's look at possible options for frame, frameless and hybrid wipers from trusted manufacturers. Bonus: price comparison and installation video!

BUT, they are simply too big and don’t fit. There are other options for generator bearings, they are smaller, but still large for me and I can’t get close.
By the way, these devices are available with three legs and two, you need to take exactly two (for my car personally), and I think this option will be useful for many.
One master said, “you need a generator puller from VAZ, it’s miniature and just right.” I spent half an hour on the Internet and found a small, universal one with two grips.
I went to the official service center, they have all the equipment, but they charged about 500 “our wooden ones” for both. They just get impudent. So I decided to find it myself in spare parts.
Sold in a large network of automobile stores throughout Russia. The total cost is 159 rubles. It’s called “2-BASE SMALL TRANSFER PULLER.” I won’t tell you about the store so that they don’t think it’s an advertisement, but they can be found in many auto parts stores.
Replacing wiper blades (+ video)
The blades are removed and the lock on the end of the windshield wiper is unfastened. Next, the rubber bands that are mounted on the frame are removed.
Work must be done carefully. Next, new brushes are installed
If necessary, they are trimmed. You need to use scissors for this. The new rubber bands are tightly attached to the windshield wiper. Here you may need to straighten the fasteners or push the brushes under them. In the first option, you can accidentally damage the terminals, and in the second, you can fiddle with the work for a long time. Here everyone should choose the most convenient method for themselves.
As you can see, replacing and repairing wipers is a fairly simple job. This does not require certain skills and knowledge from the driver. The main thing is to understand the design of this system and know where to look for a fault. You also need to be quite careful when carrying out work. In winter, you need to make sure that the brushes are not frozen and there is no ice on them, as this can lead to damage to the glass.
Possible breakdowns and methods for eliminating them
The windshield wiper mechanism is a rather complex engineering structure, consisting of an electric motor with a gearbox, rods and levers located under the hood near the windshield. The entire system is controlled by a multifunction switch located on the steering column. Any electromechanical structure is subject to wear and breakdown.
All windshield wiper breakdowns can be divided into two groups: mechanical, resulting from the failure or wear of individual mechanical components and parts, and electrical, associated with the failure of the electric motor and control unit.
Table 1. Mechanical causes and methods for eliminating them
Malfunction | Causes | Elimination methods |
The wipers do not work or stop in an arbitrary position when the electric motor is running. | Loosening the nuts securing the driver to the trapezoid shaft. | Turn off the wipers, set them to their original position and tighten the nuts. |
The electric motor does not work. | Poor contact of the limit switch with the gear of the gearbox-electric motor. Broken gear teeth. | Clean the contacts or replace the gearbox unit with the electric motor. |
Table 2. Electrical causes and solutions
Malfunction | Causes | Elimination methods |
The electric motor does not work. | The electric motor brushes are stuck, the commutator is dirty, the armature winding is broken, the contacts on the multifunction switch are oxidized, the interrupt relay does not work. | Replacement of the gearbox-electric motor assembly, electric motor brushes, multifunction switch or relay. |
There are also more trivial reasons for wipers not working, especially in winter, - the blades freezing to the windshield.
Replacing a gearbox with an electric motor is easy. First you need to remove the wiper arms, then the plastic windshield trim. Now you can unscrew the bolts securing the trapezoid and dismantle it, having first disconnected the power plug of the electric motor. On the removed trapezoid, it is easy to unscrew the bolts and nut securing the electric motor with the gearbox. Installing a new engine is carried out in the reverse order.
Lada Vesta SV rear wiper size
Driver's wiper length: 600 mm (24 inches). Passenger wiper length: 450 mm (18″). Mounting type: hook.
On Vesta you can install a pair of Denso Hybrid brushes 600 mm (article DUR-060L) and 450 mm (article DUR-045L). We have already written in detail about Denso hybrid wipers - this is a modification of frame wipers covered with an aerodynamic casing on top. They look impressive, clean well, and are made in Korea.
Of the frame wipers, I would first recommend the Bosch Twin Spoiler 604 S kit (part number 3397118303).
Buy: → Yandex Market.
The most budget option for branded wipers is a pair of one-piece Bosch Eco 60C (article 3397004673) and 45C (article 3397004668).
The best option would be the Bosch Rear H 301 frame brush (article 3397004629) with a length of 300 mm and a special mount.

In order to increase the cleaning area of the windshield, car enthusiasts install large brushes on the Lada Vesta Sedan, namely:
- 610 mm on the driver's side;
- 480 mm on the passenger side.
However, these dimensions do not always suit the owners, so they try to install longer windshield wipers measuring 630 x 490 mm.
So think twice before purchasing and installing non-standard designs on your windshield.
Lately it has become popular to purchase heated wipers for Lada Vesta. However, in severe frosts, the “heating mechanism” completely refuses to work. In fact, money wasted.
Note to the driver!
Windshield wipers for Lada Vesta are made in different designs:
Frame: flexible brush with a rubber band inside.
Material: plastic, metal. The advantage is the ability to repeatedly replace the rubber in the bet. Disadvantage: the design is long outdated. Budget option for minimal investment;
- Frameless: the name speaks for itself. There is no removable part. The brush looks like a solid plastic structure with a built-in metal plate in the center. The brushes are very sensitive to bending, so they are made for specific car brands;
- Hybrid: something in between the two designs listed above.
The process of replacing windshield wipers is simple and intuitive. The technician must be extremely careful during installation so as not to disrupt the technology.
Taking into account the short service life of factory wipers, it is better to install foreign analogues on the Lada Vesta: BOSCH, STK, Denso. Pull the brush towards you and open the plug at the junction with the leash.
Pull the wiper down while holding the arm. It will easily detach from the hook. Install a new windshield wiper in the same procedure.
Pull the brush towards you and open the plug at the junction with the leash. Pull the wiper down while holding the arm. It will easily detach from the hook. The same procedure is followed to install a new windshield wiper.
I'm stuck - will it help?
Honestly, I had doubts that he would help. The leash really sits so tight, JUST KICK! I unscrewed the nut, connected the puller and began to rotate the bolt (you can put a cloth under the legs so as not to scratch it). AND OH MIRACLE! Everything came off very easily and simply (maybe because WD-40 also helped).
The whole problem is that there is a splined connection between the wiper holder and the rod (of the motor). That is, they sit very firmly. If a little water gets in there, as I think, the whole thing will turn sour.
What is the conclusion - IT'S SIMPLE. DO NOT save only 159 rubles, you will still need this tool (you never know how many cars you will have, and you can also help your friends). YES and if you break something, it will cost BIG MONEY, there is no comparison.

What are frameless wipers for a Lada Vesta car?
Having figured out the size of the wipers on the Lada Vesta, let's move on to choosing a company. The basic option is frame cleaners for the Lada Vesta. They are easy to pick up and reliable. This is an average option that suits many drivers. The frame blade has disadvantages, which is why more drivers are switching to frameless wipers. On our own behalf, we recommend installing frame wipers in the summer, and rubber-coated frame or frameless ones in the winter.
Top list of recommended frameless type cleaners:
- RainBlade Advanced;
- Trico Flex FX;
- Bosch Aerotwin;
- Valeo Silencio X-TRM.
They have a frameless design, these brushes belong to the new generation. If you want to supply modern, high-quality purifiers, take note of these manufacturers. The Denso hybrid brush (article dur 045l) is now popular - an average solution.
Hybrid brushes are a hybrid of conventional brushes with a frame and frameless ones. In terms of quality of work, this is the best solution, because it absorbs the qualities of both brushes. They clean in frost and rain better than their older brothers. A tight fit is achieved by hinges and a rocker arm, and the casing creates additional aerodynamic pressure, like a wing. At any speed, the contact with the glass is sufficient for high-quality cleaning of the windshield. The disadvantages include the price - these consumables are almost 2 times more expensive than their counterparts.
Among the manufacturers we can note:
- Denso - price from 450 to 1650 rubles;
- Phantom - from 450, Heyner - price from 350 rubles;
- Dupont (article DP7618) - from 450 rubles.
When it comes to frameless wipers, car enthusiasts and professionals have done research to determine that RainBlade Advanced glass cleaners are the best on the market. They are not expensive, like, for example, Bosch products and perform excellent work. This is the case when there is no saving in quality. The company's products work well in cold weather. The brand has only recently entered the market, but has already earned a reputation. Drivers choose it due to its low price, and the characteristics of the brushes are not inferior to models from the TOP segment.
The manufacturer took care of the convenience of users and developed the RainBlade mobile application. A simple program allows you to select the size and model of brushes without complications. It would seem like a simple solution, but only Bosch owns such an application; other manufacturers do not provide such conveniences.
As a result, RainBlade Advanced products are a quality option relative to the price. Thanks to the choice of these brushes, we will get top quality, and the price is lower than for average models. RainBlade is a new model on the market, so it has not yet taken a strong position. In the future, it may take a leading position.
Frameless wipers for Vesta
For cars with the old type of fastening - hook
The range of windshield wiper blades for Vesta for this type of mounting is very wide. You can easily find ready-made kits or individual brushes from renowned manufacturers, as well as much cheaper alternatives.
I would like to start the review of frameless brushes on the Lada Vesta with an excellent set from the company Bosch AeroTwin AR604S (part number of the set is 3397118908). A ready-made set of two brushes specifically for this car, with original mounting and size. At the same time, they clean well, quietly and are durable.
A set of brushes from the premium segment SWF Visioflex (article - 119761). Asymmetrical spoiler, excellent cleaning, easy installation.
Another high-quality option is TRICO FORCE series. These are two separate brushes with article numbers TF600L and TF450L for the driver and passenger, respectively. High quality, silent operation of the brushes and effective cleaning of glass even in winter.
A good option is a pair of individual frameless brushes from the Denso Flat series DFR-009 and DFR-002, respectively. A distinctive feature of these wipers is that they work well in rainy weather. Low noise, strong and durable.
A more affordable option is Alca wipers of the Super Flat series 600 mm and 450 mm
For machines with a new type of fastening
After 2022, Vesta began to install leashes with fastenings for valt5.1 (or GWB046). Of course, the range of brushes for this type of fastening is significantly smaller. Especially if you are looking for brushes without an adapter. Adapters and adapters are not liked by many owners because of their bulkiness and difficulty in installation.
Here are excellent sets of brushes specifically for the new type of fastening:
- Bosch Aerotwin A 312 S (article 3397014312).
- SWF VisioFlex OE 482 (article 119482)
- Valeo Silencio Flat VF940 (article 577940).
Some owners simply change the leashes to the old version with a “hook” fastening, which greatly simplifies the selection of brushes.
Hybrid brushes
Do you prefer hybrid brushes? This option is only available for hook type mounting.
It is worth considering the Denso Hybrid DUR-060L and DUR-045L wipers. Brushes from this company, although quite expensive, have rightfully earned many positive reviews, both based on the results of tests by experts and real users. Read more about hybrid brushes, their advantages and disadvantages in this article.
Another option is the Valeo First Hybrid VFH60 and VFH45 for the driver and passenger, respectively.
A pair of hybrid wipers from SWF HBlade for Vesta. Articles 116183 and 116176.
A more budget option for hybrid wipers is Heyner “Hybrid”, a pair of brushes with the following article numbers 034 000 and 028 000 will do.
Frame brushes
Are you looking for a more affordable option, or just prefer frame brushes? Then I can offer you the following options for attaching a “hook”:
- Set of two brushes with spoiler Bosch Twin Spoiler 604 S (3397118303).
- Another good set is SWF Das Original frame brushes (article 116346).
- Separate brushes Denso DM-560 + DM-045
- One of the most affordable options from premium brands is a set of frame wipers Bosch ECO 602C (3397010253).

Good day everyone.
Another mini-report on minor replacement of “consumables”.
The other day I changed the rear wiper arm and the reflective element of the left driver's mirror.
The reflective element was changed because the heating died on the old one. I read that sometimes this happens, that sometimes corrosion damages the tracks and the heating does not work. Actually, with the replacement, everything is more than simple - using your fingers or a wooden spatula, we snap off the old mirror, disconnect the power connector and attach it to the new mirror. Then we are simply not afraid to put some effort into inserting it into the holder. I watched the process itself here:
I don’t know if this person is on the drive, if he were, I would post a link to his BZ, I’m grateful to him for the video. The element itself was found in the ALKAR company catalog, the element “left rear view mirror glass” Alkar - 6473228
Price - only 132 thousand rubles on exist.by. That is, less than 10 bucks. For comparison, at the Malinovka car market they sell for 300 “with installation”)))).
But I had to tinker with the rear wiper. I decided to replace it because the spring in the old original leash barely pressed the brush to the glass and it somehow smeared the dirt but did not clean at all. I asked around at the car market - a new one for Scenic 2 costs about 40 bucks, for 300 thousand you can take a Valeo leash and remove the spring from it and only replace it, but for this you again need to remove the old leash... That is, everything is not very good.
I scoured the Internet and found this topic on the Renault Club forum
Many people write there that they install leashes from a vase, from a viburnum, but I liked it most with the option from the Kia Picanto. I bought a leash complete with a brand new brush from Exist for 159 thousand i.e. about 10 bucks. Here's the number for anyone who needs it:
Rear windshield wiper arm Hyundai/Kia 98810-07001
And then the circus began with the removal of the old leash. I’ll say right away that if the car is not young and the rear linkage has never been changed, then most likely you will not be able to keep it in its normal form. Its design is still the same. Here is an approximate diagram, but not everything is so simple
The original leash is made of plastic and is mounted on the axle using a small metal sleeve glued into the hole in the leash body. When disassembling, 2 unpleasant moments arise. 1 - carefully remove the cover 3 - it is attached to the leash with a plastic hook. This hook breaks immediately and you just have to pick the lid out of the hole, and since over the years of service a lot of dirt gets packed in there, the result is this:
Then you simply unscrew nut 7 (key 13) and the second point arises - you need to somehow remove the leash itself, which is stuck to the metal axis with its metal sleeve. It took me about half an hour to fuss with an unsuitable puller, a vdshka and swear words, and in the end the plastic simply fell apart in my hands and this damn bushing remained sitting on the axle, which I had already separately pulled off with a puller.
Then, after cleaning the axle, I installed a new driver and screwed it with a nut. A new leash without any bushings in plastic, the fasteners are made of metal and simply fit onto the axle and screw on without any problems.
It looks great, in my opinion it’s better than the original one, it cleans great. The length of the brush and leash is just what you need. Costs 10 bucks.
After repairing the windshield wiper motor trapezoid, I decided to install new wipers on the front and change the rear wipers at the same time.
I went searching on the Internet and found Bosch A958S front wipers and Bosch A330H rear wipers. I ordered it, came to Pionerskaya and bought it.
The front ones cost 2,100 rubles per pair, the rear ones - 730 rubles.
I replaced both front ones on the spot, but a problem arose with the rear one. He doesn't fit! The wiper arm on my car is intended only for frame wipers; there is no way to attach the new-fangled frameless one there.
I thought about it, got upset - now it’s like going back to the store and admitting that I bought the wrong thing. Everyone will point and laugh.
I took a closer look at the box of the newfangled rear wiper: SEAT ALTEA 5P is on the list - that means one of us is wrong: either me or the box.
“Who am I to argue with the box,” I thought, and again went to the Internet: to find out who is smarter - the programmer or she. And found out! For some time now, frame brushes for the fifth door have gone out of fashion, now frameless brushes and a new leash for them are in trend. Looks much better: stylish, fashionable, youthful! I ordered a rear leash with a cap.

- Hybrid: something in between the two designs listed above.
The process of replacing windshield wipers is simple and intuitive. The technician must be extremely careful during installation so as not to disrupt the technology.
Taking into account the short service life of factory wipers, it is better to install foreign analogues on the Lada Vesta: BOSCH, STK, Denso. Pull the brush towards you and open the plug at the junction with the leash.
Pull the wiper down while holding the arm. It will easily detach from the hook. Install a new windshield wiper in the same procedure.

1. | Vasily , 38 years old (drive2.ru): the wipers on the Lada Vesta are not bad, enough for 30 - 40 thousand km. It’s a pity that they use a frame type, the design is long outdated. |
2. | Semenovich , 46 years old (prom.ua): I updated the brushes for the first time at around 20,000 km. My comrades advised me to buy foreign analogues. I settled on Bosch, the quality is obvious. |
3. | Alexey , 37 years old (autotoday.com): the original brushes began to rub already at the 8000 km mark, and did not last even a year. I bought similar ones, I hope they last longer. |
4. | Mikhailovich , 48 years old (rozetka.ua): The factory wipers lasted two winters, after which they began to peel off. I believe that the service life is longer than the factory warranty. |
5. | Vladimir , 46 years old, (avtoflit.com): I rarely use the car, mainly on weekends for trips out of town. Two years from the date of purchase, perfect condition, nothing changed. |
6. | Petrovich , 37 years old, (autotoday.com): the frame brushes were worn out for 15,000 km, after which they were replaced with new, similar ones. |
7. | Vasilievich , 43 years old, (drive2.ru): I bought the car second-hand, it’s in good condition, a year and a half old. I haven’t changed anything, all the rubber bands and seals are perfect. |
8. | Mikhalych , 49 years old, (drive2.ru): the car is constantly parked in the sun, there is no garage. The rubber is cracked, they are not cleaned well, I will buy new ones. |

9. | Dmitrievich , 47 years old (prom.ua): The brushes were poorly cleaned from the moment of purchase. I contacted the service station and they refused to replace it because it was not under warranty. I will change it myself. |
10. | Peter , 42 years old, (avtoflit.com): my original windshield wipers lasted six months, then they cracked. I replaced it with a Bosch one, I've been using it for over a year, no complaints. |
11. | Valerievich , 50 years old, (drive2.ru): in order not to suffer with windshield wipers, I immediately bought imported analogues. They serve for the second year, clean well. |
12. | Semenovich , 39 years old, (autotoday.com): I recommend immediately replacing the frame wipers with foreign analogues. The quality of domestic ones is far from perfect and wear out quickly. |
