How to choose

Don't buy cheap copies. Products with a suspiciously low price are either made of low-quality materials or are sold as disassembled parts. An inexpensive consumable will require replacement after just six months of use.

It is advisable to find an original spare part. It will definitely fit the car, and the quality will be higher than that of its analogue.

Inspect the part carefully. The surface must be smooth, without scratches, even and transparent. The reflection must be clear and clear. If it is cloudy, do not rush to shell out money.

Check markings, manufacturer and type. Information must be clearly written. Blurred markings are one of the main signs of a fake.

The price of consumables ranges from 1000 to 3000 rubles.

Economy segment

Xyg (China) - the best Chinese parts on the market. Pass ultraviolet rays. The material is not of the best quality: poor visibility, the image is distorted. Weak structure. This consumable will have to be changed twice a year. Overall, the price is reasonable.

Borovskoye KMK (Bor, Nizhny Novgorod region). The spare part is made of soft material, chips and scratches quickly appear. Doesn't take punches well. Cheap, but short-lived.

Premium segment

Pilkington (UK). European quality. Resistant to scratches, chips do not appear the first time. Will last a long time.

Borovskoye AGC-glass (the plant was purchased by the Japanese Company AGC-Glass). Decent choice. Japanese quality, quite high price. The company provides energy-saving, multi-layer shock-resistant and colored lacquer-coated glass.

Causes and consequences of damage

Driving on poor quality roads in Russia forces car owners to look for a new windshield at least once every year and a half. Even a very small pebble flying from under the wheels of a car can lead to damage to the part.

There are two types of damage:

  1. Chips. If only a chip appears on the surface, the driver is lucky. This means that the first layer is damaged; it is not necessary to install a new spare part.
  2. Cracks. You can't hesitate. At any moment, glass can crumble into pieces due to a hole in the road, and this will lead to an accident.

What can you do

If the driver fails to change it in time, there are several popular tips:

  1. Using a glass cutter, make perpendicular cuts 0.5 cm long along the edges of the “web”.
  2. Drill small holes with a thin diamond drill bit. The work requires accuracy, patience and attention.
  3. “Weld” the crack. It's better to contact specialists. Without experience it will be difficult.

We tint a VAZ 2115 on our own: choosing a film and procedure

Increasingly, Zhiguli car owners perform tuning, such as tinting, with their own hands. The availability of the necessary materials and tools makes this possible. The owners of the VAZ 2115 also want to improve the appearance of their car, bring the glass to an almost pristine condition. The work can be undertaken by an amateur master who, in addition to the desire and necessary materials, also needs to arm himself with knowledge on the issue, familiarize himself with tips and recommendations. And then the tinting of the VAZ 2115 car will be completed without a hitch using your own efforts.

Replacement

There are two options for replacing the windshield on a VAZ 2114:

Contact a car service. Fast, simple, but expensive. On one's own. If you have experience in repair work of this kind, time, patience, and an assistant, then dismantling is possible in your own garage.

How to remove

The work begins with the fact that we remove all unnecessary things. Side trims, wipers - this interferes with dismantling. Now we remove the old glass: starting from the top corner, squeeze it out along with the rubber. It is advisable to have someone help. If you pry the seal with a flat screwdriver from the inside, it will be easier to remove the headband.

You need to work with gloves, taking safety precautions.

Clean the grooves. The replacement now needs to be replaced with a seal. If the rubber is cracked, it is also advisable to replace it.

How to replace frames and seals

Replacing the windshield frame requires more effort, but this operation can be done at home.

We measure the frame. Its width is 680 mm in the center and 1378 mm diagonally. Further actions:

  1. We weld the fasteners on the sides.
  2. We make an amplifier, weld it to the frame from the outside.
  3. We clean the frame and the cavity for the wipers.
  4. We prime it twice.
  5. Apply adhesive sealant.
  6. We evenly coat the frame and cavity with paint and weld it.

The seal needs to be replaced as it wears out. If it has shrunk in places and lost elasticity, then it is advisable to install a new one in the near future. To replace the front window seal of a VAZ 2114 you will need:

  • a set of flat screwdrivers;
  • stationery knife;
  • putty knife;
  • solvent for nitro paint;
  • adhesive sealant.

To make installation easier, apply lubricant to the rubber seal and soap solution to the lower groove. You need to put a thin, strong rope inside the seal. Place the new seal on the glass. We pull the ends of the cord in the center of the bottom of the material. It is advisable to soak the cord with detergent.

How to put

During installation you will have to resort to outside help. The glass is inserted into the lower groove, and only then carefully around the entire perimeter. As you insert the windshield, pull out the cord to fit the seal tightly and efficiently.

Be careful when pulling the rope at bends! In the side parts it slides with difficulty and can tear; press harder from the outside of the car.

It is advisable to fix the rubber with glue-sealant, and attach the glass to the roof and sides with tape overnight.

Replacing the rear window of a VAZ is carried out in the same way. If you installed a windshield, you can install this, although removing the rear window is a more difficult task. To insert the rear window, ask a friend for help, as you will have to pull the rope and press on the consumable at the same time.

Conclusion

Replacing damaged glass is not difficult, although it will require some skill. This is easy to do with your own hands using tools. It is advisable to have someone help you; it will be inconvenient to carry out the installation alone.

A selection of body dimensions, data on the body geometry of the VAZ 2115 and control points of the VAZ 2115, VAZ - 2114 from the factory documentation. A significant part of the repair work on cars, especially those received after road accidents, falls on body repairs. In most cases, repairs require checking the geometry of the attachment points of components and assemblies of the vehicle chassis.

VAZ 2115 body dimensions: 0 – base lines; 1 – axes of the front bolts for fastening the front suspension braces; 2 – center of support of the front suspension of the power unit; 3 – center of the support of the left suspension of the power unit; 4 – centers of the upper hinges of the front telescopic struts of the front suspension; 5 – centers of the hinges of the front suspension arms; 6 – points of intersection of the axes of the welded bolts for fastening the steering mechanism with the surfaces of the brackets; 7 – attachment points for the rear suspension support of the power unit; 8 – points of intersection of the axes of the rear welded bolts for fastening the rear suspension arms with the surfaces of the rear side members; 9 – centers of the upper supports of the rear suspension shock absorbers

Damage to car body can be very different. Therefore, the repair rules in each individual case must be different, most suitable for these damages, and it is necessary to make maximum use of the possibilities of straightening damaged panels. If possible, it is necessary to avoid thermal effects on the metal so as not to disrupt the factory welding and anti-corrosion protection of the body. Remove the front body panels only in extreme cases, to determine the location of damage, straighten or align the body. In cases of significant body damage, it is recommended to remove all interior trim to facilitate measurement, inspection and installation of hydraulic and screw jacks to correct distortion and damage to the body.

By editing it is necessary to restore the original linear dimensions and locations of the power units, the dimensions of the openings of the wind window, hood, and doors. Protrusion of the front surfaces and removable parts relative to adjacent panels is eliminated by fitting and adjusting them.

Do-it-yourself selection and replacement of a windshield for a VAZ 2114

For a VAZ car, standard dimensions are used for windshield models, starting with the VAZ 2108: 1400 by 662 millimeters. VAZ 2114 is no exception, which greatly facilitates the search and selection of spare parts for the car.

Car windshields are particularly durable compared to ordinary glass used, for example, in window frames. In the VAZ 2114 it has a three-layer construction, which is also called triplex.

The design of the “lobovukha” is represented by two glasses, between which there is a transparent film. Such a film is of particular importance because it prevents fragments from scattering in different directions in the event of damage or impact of the material.

A crack has appeared: what to do?

A damaged windshield on a VAZ is a source of increased danger for the driver and passengers; it can finally crack and fall out due to vibration and the car’s wheels getting into holes. It is better not to delay the purchase of new glass, but at first the growth of the crack can be delayed.

The fact is that the VAZ windshield is a three-layer glued structure (hence the name - triplex) made of glass and a transparent film that keeps the structure from crumbling upon impact. If only the first layer is damaged due to mechanical stress and a small crack appears, then its growth can be stopped in the following ways.

  1. A small crack can be carefully trimmed on both sides with a glass cutter. Using a glass cutter, cut 5 mm long marks perpendicular to the direction of the crack. This will help prevent further cracking for a while.
  2. At the ends of the crack, a hole can be made in the first layer of glass using a thin diamond drill bit. It’s a very delicate job that requires attention and patience, but if successful, it will definitely give results: for some time the crack will not spread beyond the hole.

When choosing a new windshield, you should not lean towards the cheapest options; you must remember that your safety depends on it. When purchasing, you need to check the product for scratches, cracks and chips along the edges, the surface must be absolutely smooth, and your reflection in the glass must be clear and not blurry.

DIY glass tinting

Since car tuning is not cheap, many owners prefer to do it themselves. To work they will need:

  • quality material;
  • soap solution and spray bottle;
  • rubber spatula;
  • sharp knife;
  • lint-free napkin;
  • hairdryer

Before starting work, it is necessary to dismantle the windshield of the VAZ 2115, although not everyone does this; in principle, you can glue the film right away. If the glass remains in place, then the seals should still be removed. To stick the strip on the top of the windshield, you also do not need to dismantle it. The surface is thoroughly washed, paying special attention to corners and places where more dirt collects. After degreasing, wipe dry with a non-woven lint-free cloth and check to see if there is any dust left.

Spray the surface with a solution from a spray bottle and apply a pre-cut film blank, gradually separating the transparent layer. When the film is placed on the glass, movements from the center to the edges begin to remove air bubbles, as well as excess water. In this case, use a rubber spatula and/or your own hands.

If the glass has a curved shape, it is advisable to use a hair dryer. With its help, the film can be given the desired shape, and the pasting will be of better quality.

When the tint is applied, the protruding edges are trimmed. A sharp knife is held at an angle of 30 0, while acting slowly.

How to choose

Don't buy cheap copies. Products with a suspiciously low price are either made of low-quality materials or are sold as disassembled parts. An inexpensive consumable will require replacement after just six months of use.

It is advisable to find an original spare part. It will definitely fit the car, and the quality will be higher than that of its analogue.

Inspect the part carefully. The surface must be smooth, without scratches, even and transparent. The reflection must be clear and clear. If it is cloudy, do not rush to shell out money.

Check markings, manufacturer and type. Information must be clearly written. Blurred markings are one of the main signs of a fake.

The price of consumables ranges from 1000 to 3000 rubles.

Economy segment

Xyg (China) - the best Chinese parts on the market. Pass ultraviolet rays. The material is not of the best quality: poor visibility, the image is distorted. Weak structure. This consumable will have to be changed twice a year. Overall, the price is reasonable.

If the glass is damaged

Apart from the case when the glass is completely broken, there are two main types of damage:

Each one needs to be repaired differently, giving the driver a wider variety of problems. But first it should be noted that triplex is used for the VAZ. This is glass consisting of three layers: two glasses, between which there is a protective film. The latter prevents the glass from simply shattering from an impact. Therefore, when the pebble described above hits the glass, a chip (or crack) forms on it. This is evidence that the first ball of glass is damaged.

Of course, this type of damage cannot immediately completely destroy the glass. But still, repairs cannot be delayed.

Replacing one layer can be inexpensive and quite quick. But if you start this process, the crack can ruin the tightness of the window, and you will have to replace the entire windshield.

Glass transmittance standards

To avoid administrative penalties, you should listen to recommendations on the permissible degree of light transmission of the film.

It’s worth mentioning right away that mirror tinting is prohibited. Even if the owner really wants to improve the appearance of his VAZ 2115 in a special way, he will have to give up the DSLR.

It is allowed to stick a strip of transparent sun protection film up to 14 cm wide on the windshield (light transmittance is not regulated). Windshield - light transmittance is preferably up to 85%, front side windows - up to 70%, rear windows are not installed (only mirrored ones are prohibited). These indicators correspond to GOST 5727-88 “Safe glass for land transport. General technical conditions".

Causes and consequences of damage

Driving on poor quality roads in Russia forces car owners to look for a new windshield at least once every year and a half. Even a very small pebble flying from under the wheels of a car can lead to damage to the part.

There are two types of damage:

  1. Chips. If only a chip appears on the surface, the driver is lucky. This means that the first layer is damaged; it is not necessary to install a new spare part.
  2. Cracks. You can't hesitate. At any moment, glass can crumble into pieces due to a hole in the road, and this will lead to an accident.

What can you do

If the driver fails to change it in time, there are several popular tips:

  1. Using a glass cutter, make perpendicular cuts 0.5 cm long along the edges of the “web”.
  2. Drill small holes with a thin diamond drill bit. The work requires accuracy, patience and attention.
  3. “Weld” the crack. It's better to contact specialists. Without experience it will be difficult.

Temporary protection

Temporary protection of glass can be carried out in several ways that will preserve the integrity of the windshield until it becomes possible to purchase a new spare part.

  1. First, you need to “break” the structure of the crack and the directions along which it goes. Using a glass cutter, make cuts about 0.5 centimeters from each edge across the crack.
  2. Drill several thin holes along the edges of the crack. To do this, use a diamond drill. These measures will prevent the crack from going further.
  3. Enlist the help of auto repair shops that are qualified in this matter. In good workshops, cracks that have arisen can be welded so that they are not even visible from the outside.

Having taken temporary measures, you should start searching for and purchasing a new part as soon as possible, otherwise the scale of the problem will increase. Temporary measures are called temporary because they cannot completely eliminate the problem.

Replacement

There are two options for replacing the windshield on a VAZ 2114:

Contact a car service. Fast, simple, but expensive. On one's own. If you have experience in repair work of this kind, time, patience, and an assistant, then dismantling is possible in your own garage.

How to remove

The work begins with the fact that we remove all unnecessary things. Side trims, wipers - this interferes with dismantling. Now we remove the old glass: starting from the top corner, squeeze it out along with the rubber. It is advisable to have someone help. If you pry the seal with a flat screwdriver from the inside, it will be easier to remove the headband.

You need to work with gloves, taking safety precautions.

Clean the grooves. The replacement now needs to be replaced with a seal. If the rubber is cracked, it is also advisable to replace it.

Selection and replacement of glass

When purchasing a windshield for a VAZ 2114 car, you need to take into account several important circumstances that influence the choice of a high-quality and durable product.

There are two ways to directly replace any damaged car part:

  • With the help of specialists at the service center;
  • Independently, with the help of others.

It is recommended to change the windshield yourself only with the help of others and only when you have at least some experience in this matter.

If you are not confident in your abilities, do not skimp on installing a windshield and trust the professionals.

If you nevertheless decide to use a more complex but budget option, that is, you are going to install the windshield yourself, you should remember that replacing the windshield of a VAZ 2114 is carried out approximately in the following order.

  1. Free the removable windshield from the antenna, mirror, alarm, video recorder and other foreign objects that may be on it or glued to it. Remove the side trims on both sides.
  2. Remove the old windshield using gentle pressure from the inside. Start squeezing the “lobovka” outward from any angle convenient for you.
  3. Make sure that the seal is also removed from the car along with it. Take a closer look; if the parts are difficult to remove manually, use a flat-head screwdriver made of reliable metal. Pry up the part using the tool as a lever, this will make the glass come out faster. Squeeze the rubber seal over the metal edge of the body.
  4. At the same time, it will most likely not be possible to remove the triplex intact, since it is already damaged. There is no particular need for this, since using a windshield with numerous cracks poses a danger to the life and health of people in the car. But for your own safety, when removing old glass, use protective gloves to prevent cuts and be extremely careful.
  5. After removing the old windshield from the groove, the opening must be thoroughly cleaned and get rid of any remaining sealant. Even if the old seal remains intact after dismantling the windshield, it is still recommended to purchase a new seal and use it to install a new spare part.
  6. Pay attention to the corners of the seal. At the bend points there must be special holes for water to escape - “drains” or drainage holes. The drainage holes of the seal and the car body must match, otherwise water, if it gets on the glass, will end up in the car interior.
  7. The new seal should be well lubricated, for example with sealant or silicone, which will simplify the installation of the new glass. Some experts believe that the use of sealant or silicone, although it makes the glass fit stronger, nevertheless complicates its removal in case of damage. So in this matter, rely on your own opinion.
  8. Place the lubricated seal on the new windshield
  9. On the inside of the seal, it is necessary to place a thin thread of nylon around the entire perimeter so that the edges of the thread are in the middle at the bottom of the glass.
  10. Enlist the help of a friend: grab the “lobovuha” from different sides and insert it into the opening of your car, and then carefully press it to the seat. Lead the ends of the nylon cord inside the car, that is, into the interior.
  11. Next, one person should press the “lobovka”, while the other should carefully pull out the nylon thread from under the seal. When approaching corners, be especially careful, since it is at the bends that the nylon thread is most difficult to remove.

In car services, the process of replacing a windshield generally takes no more than half an hour, while replacing it yourself will take much more time. To make installation easier, special handles with suction cups are used, with which it can be easily lifted and inserted into the opening.

Only you can decide how to replace your windshield - yourself or with the help of specialists. One way or another, the presence of cracks on the windshield indicates the need to replace it as soon as possible. Don't risk your health and the health of your passengers!

Removal and installation of the VAZ-2115 windshield

To remove a damaged windshield, remove the windshield wiper arms, tuck the edges of the seal at the top of the body opening flange and, pressing on the upper corners of the glass, push it out.
In this case, an assistant must support the glass from the outside. Remove the seal from the glass.

When filling the seal, use a blunt slotted screwdriver, being careful not to damage the seal.

Glass removal diagram

Glass opening sizes

Before installing new glass, you need to attach it to the glass opening without a seal and look at the gaps.

There must be a gap of 3 - 4 mm between the glass and the opening, otherwise the glass will not fit as expected.

If there is no gap, then the glass may be defective or the opening may be deformed.

The deformation of the glass opening is removed by exhaust hood using jacks, observing the dimensions of the openings.

Install the windshield as follows:

– wash the grooves of seal 1 with water and blow with compressed air;

– put the seal on the glass;

If the seal has become hard, you can immerse it in gasoline for a few minutes. After this it will become elastic.

– lubricate the groove of the seal with which it is installed on the body flange with glycerin or soapy water;

– insert cord 1 into the groove using a screwdriver;

– install the glass in the body opening and then, by pulling the ends of cord 1 from the seal inside the body, ensure that the glass with seal 2 sits in place. In this case, an assistant should press lightly on the glass from the outside.

Installation of glass begins from the bottom from the middle. In the upper part, the seal is tucked behind the upper headliner and adjusted using a slotted screwdriver.

If the glass is not installed, check the dimensions of the body opening using glass without a seal. Correct deviations in the dimensions of the opening by straightening.

Replace the glass of the rear window and side frames in the same way as replacing the windshield.

When installing a new windshield, you must first glue the rear view mirror mounting plate.

To ensure reliable gluing, it is recommended to carry out work at a car service station.

Use a blade or sharpened knife to clean the glass where the plate is glued.

The plate should be located along the axis of the car, its bottom should be at a distance of 105 mm from the top edge of the glass.

Degrease the gluing area with ethyl or isopropyl alcohol.

Apply activator LT-736 to the glass in the place of gluing with a brush, and apply 1-2 drops of LT-317 glue to the surface of the plate and press the plate to the glass for 1-1.5 minutes.

24 hours after gluing, put the rear view mirror in place.

When monitoring the adhesion strength, the plate should not come off under a load of 300 N (30.6 kgf) applied perpendicular to the glass surface for 15 s.

How to put

During installation you will have to resort to outside help. The glass is inserted into the lower groove, and only then carefully around the entire perimeter. As you insert the windshield, pull out the cord to fit the seal tightly and efficiently.

Be careful when pulling the rope at bends! In the side parts it slides with difficulty and can tear; press harder from the outside of the car.

It is advisable to fix the rubber with glue-sealant, and attach the glass to the roof and sides with tape overnight.

Replacing the rear window of a VAZ is carried out in the same way. If you installed a windshield, you can install this, although removing the rear window is a more difficult task. To insert the rear window, ask a friend for help, as you will have to pull the rope and press on the consumable at the same time.

The native lobacher began to crack from the left edge to the right... after being “shot” with stones from under a Kamaz truck))).

I thought about the idea of ​​installing a heated lobacha, the price is 5500 rubles (usually around 800-1500 rubles)

In my opinion. + better visibility in winter (because sometimes the anti-freeze + heater can’t cope), small savings on the anti-freeze, in winter at -30 it gets boring to defrost the windshield for half an hour (even though the engine is warmed up).

I'd love to hear feedback.

Taking into account my mileage in the region of 80k-100k per year in Moscow, the region and long-distance travel, and every 3 months there is a consistently new crack in the front. It will be a bit expensive.

On the other hand there is safety. When at night in winter you drive along a curved road where there are no lights or markings (it feels like you’re walking across a field) + the left anti-freeze system is frozen at -10, the stove manages to heat a radius of 50 cm from the center and the wipers are uselessly scraping frozen ice on the glass, then it’s worth it.
