How to remove the trim and the side mirrors themselves of a VAZ 2190

Remove the mirror element. To do this, carefully bend it with your fingers so that you can see the latches that are located along the entire contour of the mirror. You need to bend 5 pieces.
Remove the mirror covers. To do this, we snap off the latches that are visible from the side of the removed mirror; another latch is visible when bending the mirror towards the stack.

Detailed and universal method

Universal method
In the car interior, you need to unclip the plastic cover that covers the mirror mounting screws. After removing the cover, unscrew the three screws that hold the mirror in place and remove it. After this, you need to carefully remove the rubber gaskets -

If the rubber gaskets are damaged, it will be very difficult to buy new ones; they are rarely sold separately.

Now you need to unscrew the two screws securing the mirror adjustment joystick. Disassembling the joysticks themselves is a simple procedure; you just need to carefully remember the position of the cables and the color, since different colors are responsible for their adjustment. Next, you need to remove the three screws that are located on the lower plastic corner - it is most susceptible to damage during vehicle operation. After that you need to remove it too. How to remove the mirror element has already been described above. After removing the mirror element, you need to unscrew the four screws and remove everything else.

Place on silicone glue

The easiest way, of course, is to ask a mechanic you know or send the car to a car service center if you need to replace the mirror or paint it. But most owners are accustomed to repairing their car themselves - after all, this is a significant saving of money.

How to remove Lada Granta mirrors

Connecting mirror turn signals

Option 1: Pull the wire from the direction indicator on the fender.
Option 2: To the wiring harness under the driver's threshold (blue - left turn signal; blue-white - right).

We transfer the wires from the power windows from the standard buttons to a new block with a joystick.

For Lada Kalina and Granta with heated and electric side mirrors (without direction indicators):

The new mirror has a chip with six wires, but the old one has only five. We pull the sixth contact, which is used to operate the turn signals.

The process of installing exterior mirrors from a liftback on a Lada Granta sedan is also shown in the video:

Replacing the mirror element on Grant

Many drivers, out of ignorance, change the entire mirror assembly, although in most cases only the mirror element is damaged. And it would be quite ridiculous to pay about 1000 rubles for a complete mirror if you can get by with 300 rubles per element.

The design of the rear view mirrors on Grant, meaning external ones, is the same as on Kalina. That is why the entire process of this repair will be identical. Let's look at the main reasons why this part may be damaged:

side impact in an accident
hitting the mirrors when driving on a too narrow section of the road
other damage not related to the operation of the car

Bottom line

In general, these are the main reasons why the engine may not start, or rather there are many more reasons, but these are the main ones that you can fix with your own hands.

I will say again that you can only try to do something if you at least approximately know what and how to do.

You don’t need to be an extra-class master; you must have some experience in metal tinkering behind your shoulders, straight arms and a good mind.

If you have all these components, you will succeed, and in the event of a minor breakdown you will be able to save on repairs; after all, it’s a pity to pay your hard-earned money to replace fuses or something that you can do yourself.

How to remove an old mirror element

Everything here is done, although not complicated, but quite neatly. If you rush and make excessive efforts, you can damage the internal fasteners of the element, and then you will definitely have to buy the entire part assembled.

First, we remove the mirror assembly from the car, and only after that can we begin the repair. Then we move one side of the mirror element as far as possible to the side so that you can get inside this structure with a screwdriver.

Now, using a screwdriver or by hand, if you were able to insert it there, we move the element latches to the side, as is clearly shown in the photo below.

The latches are located along the entire circumference, so you need to unlatch them from all sides. After which this part can be easily removed with minimal effort on your part.

To see what the design of this fastener looks like, look at the picture below.

In addition to the hooks (clamps, latches), there are 4 more guides that must match the holes in the case when installing a new element. The new one is somewhat easier to install than it is to remove, so there shouldn’t be any special problems with installation. The main thing is not to use excessive force when fixing the element, and try to press the element itself as evenly as possible so that it does not break.

The price of a new such part for Grant is about 300 rubles, and as mentioned above, it is much cheaper than buying an assembled mirror. There are a few more points that relate to replacing the mirror element:

the design can be electrically driven
the element may be heated

Due to this, certain issues may arise that have not been described here. This article examined the simplest type of mirror element.

What happens if you make the wrong choice?

If you install unsuitable or low-quality spark plugs in your car, the following troubles may arise:

deterioration of engine ignition. When starting the engine, the owner will have to crank the starter for a long time, and this can reduce the functionality of the battery. In some situations it will be impossible to start the vehicle;
excess fuel consumption;
Once started, the engine will be much noisier and the sounds will subsequently increase in volume. This is especially noticeable during the process of warming up the car;
the production of harmful substances in exhaust gases will increase. The analysis can be carried out using special equipment;
the power and dynamics of the motor will decrease. This will be noticeably felt as you climb the hill.

In order to avoid such problems with your car, we recommend buying only high-quality spark plugs from trusted manufacturers.

In this article we discussed how to change spark plugs and the principles of choosing the right part for the full functioning of the power unit

It is necessary to pay due attention to the choice of spark plugs, since they play a major role in the vehicle operating system

How to remove the side mirror of a Lada Granta

Side rear view mirrors are an integral element of the design of any vehicle. They allow better control of the road situation, promote traffic safety, and optimize the aerodynamics of the body.

Some mirrors are additionally equipped with direction indicators (read the instructions for how to replace them), this statement also applies to the popular domestic car Lada Granta. The need to remove mirrors may be due to the following factors:

Mechanical impact that caused the destruction of the housing.
A crack or other defect on the mirror element. (Instructions for replacing the mirror element)
Burnt spiral of heated mirrors or other damage to the electrical part.

In general, the operation of removing a mirror does not present any particular difficulties; it can be done on your own with minimal waste of time, so there is no need to turn to professionals.

Removing the door trim

To gain access to the elements that fix the mirror, you first need to remove the door trim.

The sequence of actions is as follows:

Removing the key blocking the lock.
Removing the plugs.

Sequentially unscrew the screws and screws holding the upholstery.
To remove the upholstery, you need to insert a flat-head screwdriver wrapped in electrical tape into the groove between the upholstery and the door panel ( but it’s better to use a special device ). The clamps provide some resistance, but significant force during dismantling is unacceptable.

The rods of the locking mechanism are removed, the upholstery is moved back to a distance limited by the length of the wires supplying the lifts.
The wiring is carefully removed, after which the door trim is also dismantled.

Removing the mirror

The procedure after removing the upholstery is as follows:

Using pliers, carefully remove the locking bracket, which limits the mobility of the hinge.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws that secure the mirror to the door structure.

The mirror is removed, all cables and hinge mechanisms are routed through a hole located in the outer door panel.

If we are talking about a mechanically controlled mirror, with automatic control, then it may additionally be necessary to remove the wires that provide the drive with electrical energy.

These wires are fixed in blocks, so disconnecting them is not difficult.

Installing a new mirror occurs in the reverse order of installing door trim.

The main thing is to control the correct connection of the wires in order to maintain the functionality of all electronic systems of the vehicle, direction indicators and heating

Important nuances

Let's start with him. They serve to provide the motorist with a panoramic view while in the driver's seat. Moreover, this is true for cars with left and right-hand drive. Only the recommendations should be applied slightly differently.

If you have a left-hand drive, follow these instructions very carefully. If the car is right-hand drive, then the advice on the left side mirror is applied based on the right mirror. And vice versa. I think you've got this point figured out. But in general, right-hand drive cars are a separate topic for discussion, since they are not adapted to our traffic regulations. Too many problems arise. Especially when trying to overtake another car. But let's leave these conversations for another thematic material.

First, keep in mind that cars can be equipped with 2 types of mirrors. Moreover, they can use an electric drive or a mechanical type of drive, where a special lever or joystick is responsible for the settings. Here you need to work manually. I think each of you will understand, using your own car as an example, what to press and where.

Electric ones are more convenient, but are not found on all cars. But everywhere there is the possibility of adjusting the position.

When operating a car, consider what type of mirror is located on the sides of the car.

With a spherical surface. Their characteristic feature is the ability to distance objects. That is, they create the impression that the car is further away from you than it actually is. It creates a deceptive effect, distorting the reality of what is happening. Not the best option. And if you have similar mirrors on your Polo or other car, many advise replacing them;
With flat glass surface. Such designs are the most optimal for learning to look and adjust mirrors without distorting reality. They are considered the most suitable for car use, since they can cover the entire road.

Having decided on these questions, you can proceed directly to the settings.

Installing mirror covers

As for installation, anyone can handle it. However, in case of even minimal doubts, it is better to contact the nearest car service center. This way you can avoid the risk of damaging the paintwork of the body or trim. Usually the linings are equipped with everything necessary for convenient mounting on a car. Using an example, we will describe the installation of an overlay using hermetic glue or silicone.

First you need to thoroughly clean the outside of the mirror from dust and dirt, then wipe it dry. The inside of the lining must be coated with sealant. Its layer should be small, but as even as possible. Then you need to place the pad on the cleaned surface of the mirror and press it firmly for several minutes. Next, you need to wipe off the excess glue and then leave the parts to dry.

In most cases, glue can be replaced without any problems with construction double-sided tape. If you use tape, then you need to stick it in several strips, as close as possible to the outside of the cover or directly to the mirror. There is no need to put tape on the edge. The gluing technology is the same as when using sealant.

If your trim comes with mounting hardware, then it's even easier. Just install it and snap it in the right places. It will hold tight.
