Good day to all.

While the car is waiting for a salary to replace the heater core, I decided to wash the seat upholstery (my family). No sooner said than done. I’ll make a reservation right away - I only removed the passenger seat and the back seat without a backrest (I’ll explain why a little later).

And so let's go: for removal we will need a 10 socket, as well as an 8 socket (or an asterisk, I don’t remember which one). I had exactly 8 in stock. The rear sofa has 4 nuts for 10, and the front one has 4 bolts for an asterisk (the head for 8 is ideal).

And so we unscrew the seats and take them home (someone removes the upholstery on the spot, but I think it’s more convenient and easier to bring it home. Moreover, the seats can be easily removed).

Let's move on. Disassembly. For disassembly you will need a Phillips screwdriver (to remove decorative plastic) and a flat screwdriver (to remove the upholstery itself. Some use pliers, but in my opinion a screwdriver is more convenient).

After removing the elastic, you need to either bend or cut the wire holding the upholstery with the foam. The fastening of the upholstery on the back of the front seat is slightly different. On the sides and bottom there is a groove in the groove, when disassembling it is clear without explanation

You also need to remove the headrest guides and the Kalina emblem. The latter is attached through paralon to a plastic crap (I don’t know what to call it) and to fabric with staples.

The upholstery is removed and you can start washing.

The springs on the front seat were sagging, so it was decided to turn them over. On the back, I left the top 2 as they were (curved back, but turned the rest over. Like lumbar support)

Review of the Granta Liftback seat

Unlike the “Sport” modification, the seats of the Lada Granta Liftback are not equipped with height adjustment. For a driver of average height this is not significant. But for those who are over 180 cm or under 165 cm, this becomes a problem.

Often, owners independently install seats from Opel, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Audi in order to increase comfort.

Driver and passenger front seat overview. Adjustment mechanism

The ergonomics of the driver's seat are good, the range of settings for the steering column and seat allows a driver with a height of 180 cm to fit comfortably. However, the longer the distance, the faster fatigue sets in; the right leg increasingly becomes numb from the limited position.

For the first time in the Lada Granta Liftback model, the seat is equipped with lateral support. This was previously installed in the second generation Kalina, Kalina Sport. Scheme for manufacturing the structure:

• metal frame;
• foam pillow;
• back.

The frame is a supporting structure. The backrest and cushion are installed on the movable hinges of the frame. In the Liftback model, the backrest is solid, the height is proportional to the height of 170 cm. There are bolsters on the sides that provide a comfortable seat for the driver and passengers.

The seat elements have a spherical structure: springs covered with special foam and polyurethane are placed on a metal base. The top is covered with upholstery fabric.

Adjusting the front seats of the car

longitudinal: to adjust, pull the lever under the seat up. Move the seat, release the lever.

Note to the driver. Do not adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving. Even the slightest jerk with your hand will provoke an accident.

vertical: adjustment using the handle located on the left side of the seat. By rotating your hand, you select the most optimal position for the backrest.

head restraints: by mechanically pressing your finger on the bracket on the right side, set the appropriate height.

Optionally, the owner can install heated seats on the Grant Liftback. The process is not complicated and will take no more than half an hour.

Rear seat overview. Adjustment

In the back of the Lada Granta Liftback it’s already cramped for three, but there’s plenty of space for two. The sofa is flat, without ergonomics. For tall passengers, long trips will be painful.

Adjustment of the sofa is not provided, unless you move up and down around the perimeter yourself. Don't forget about the restrictions on the back of the seat back and roof lining.

In order to increase safety and reduce the likelihood of injury to passengers, the rear row of seats is equipped with seat belts.

How to fold out the seats in a Grant Liftback

The rear backrest folds in a 60/40 ratio, which is very convenient and practical when transporting non-standard loads. Press the side clamps of the upper backrest and lower the desired side.

If necessary, the back row folds completely onto the floor, forming a flat platform without steps or bends. Folding the seats is easy: just press the side hinges of the upper backrest. The lower sofa is fixed with metal hinges at the base.

How to remove the rear seat on a Grant Liftback

1. Lower the top back.
2. Unscrew the rear seat mount - three “13” bolts at the base.
3. We remove the lower sofa.
4. We take it out of the cabin.

Are you wondering whether to buy new seats for your car? If you want to again feel the comfort of high-quality car seats or simply want to replace outdated or worn-out seats, then these seats are an excellent option, since similar ones are installed on VAZ. The lowest prices are also listed on our website. In a word, we give you the opportunity to again feel like you are in the interior of a new car, while saving on the purchase of car seats.

This group presents standard, factory seats, as well as components for Lada Samara 2 (VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115) cars.

About the material of car seat covers

Cases made of artificial leather. If the leatherette is of high quality, then products made from it will be durable, reliable and practical (it is easy to wash and clean, breathable). Such cases can be a good alternative to genuine leather.

It is prestigious to have genuine leather cases. Leather products are highly wear-resistant, elastic, and the texture of the material is pleasant to the touch. This is the best choice, and the only thing that can be off-putting is the high cost.

Velor covers have a low cost, an original design (can be of different colors), good durability and do not require maintenance. This material takes on a streamlined shape and fits tightly onto the seats. Covers made of 100% velor are the most practical option.

If the covers contain synthetic polyester, keep in mind that this dense material does not allow air to pass through well, causing the skin to sweat.

Covers made of plush, tapestry. Inexpensive materials that absorb moisture well and are easy to wash. The main disadvantage is rapid wear.

Jacquard covers. This fabric consists of a complex weave of chemical and natural fibers. Durable and well breathable. Disadvantage: high price.

Fur covers can protect seats from wear, as well as keep you warm in winter or prevent you from sweating in summer. With such covers, the car interior becomes more prestigious. Universal fur covers

When purchasing, you should pay special attention to the quality of the fur.

Eco-leather covers are artificial leather without PVC. Modern material that “breathes” well, at the same time does not allow water to pass through. This material does not “melt” or smell in the heat, and does not crack in the cold. Eco-leather is pleasant to the touch and durable.

Very often the material is combined, for example, leatherette is used along the edges of the covers, and the central insert is made of velor.

Users of the Lada.online website have the opportunity to buy eco-leather covers for Vesta at a competitive price.

We invite you to take part in the survey and determine which covers are best suited for modern cars Lada Granta (sedan and liftback), Lada Kalina 2nd and 1st generation, Lada Priora or Lada Vesta. Case reviews will be especially helpful.

By the way, high-quality and inexpensive seat covers can be bought on our website:

Caution: the above data are the official figures of the manufacturer, however, please note that the information is for reference only and does not guarantee absolute accuracy.

Which seats are suitable?

Replacing standard seats with a seat from a foreign car would be a completely logical decision, since for little money you can purchase good products that will still have a large residual life, thereby improving such parameters as:

• Lateral support
• Pressure adjustment
• Folding
• Electric heating
• Upholstery quality
• Height adjustment

As a rule, installing a non-original seat requires minor modifications, since if you install seats on foreign cars, they will differ significantly. But you can find ones that are more similar. It is best to choose a seat from a coupe, since they fit best in a three-door Niva as they allow passengers to get into the cabin without any problems.

The most suitable seats are from such foreign cars as:

But it is worth knowing that the demand for them is very high and it is not so easy to find them. Therefore, if you have a three-child Niva, then you can pick up a foreign car with four doors, but you will have to modify them yourself.

Complete disassembly of Grant seats

The information will be useful to those who are planning to wash the seat upholstery, replace it with a new one, replace foam molding or install heated seats.

For work we will need: - Needle nose pliers - Side cutters - Plastic clamps

The front part of the casing is attached to the frame using metal elements marked in green:

Orange indicates the plastic removable seam of the back. And blue - elements that do not require dismantling when replacing or removing the upholstery.

But let's start with the headrest. We remove it and remove the rubber decorative washers.

Next, applying force, we disconnect the plastic seam (training before disassembling the backrest).

And we tighten the upholstery, squeezing the foam.

We turn the chair over and begin to disassemble the seat. From below, the upholstery is attached to the springs with metal rings.

Don't even try to remove them carefully. Even if you succeed, you’ll waste a lot of time, and you still won’t be able to put them back on. Therefore, we simply take the wire cutters and destroy them.

It is convenient to hold and remove these rings with thin-nose pliers. As a result, nothing holds the upholstery underneath.

We begin to pull off the upholstery from the front of the seat...

... and we rest against the fastening element that tensions and creates the relief of the front part of the upholstery.

A fastening element in the form of a wire rod is sewn into the casing (places highlighted in green) and tightened with the same rings to the foam casting reinforcement.

We take wire cutters and remove the rings...

... first releasing 2 longitudinal fastening elements, and then 1 transverse one.

When all 7 rings are removed, remove the upholstery.

And, if necessary, foam casting.

Having completely folded the backrest, we see a plastic seam like on the headrest. Let's disconnect it.

And we begin to roll up the upholstery until we come across the same fasteners...

We remove the same 7 rings as in the seat and tighten the upholstery.

The upholstery remains on the two headrest guides. You can either simply pull it off or remove the guides.

Well, the foam casting is not secured in any way...

The chair is disassembled. It took an hour to disassemble one seat, but if I had these instructions, it would have taken about 20 minutes. In the second part, I’ll tell you how to put the trim back in place.

So, the seat is disassembled...

If you did it like I did, you destroyed all the mounting rings. Well, after you have washed/replaced/repaired the upholstery, you need to somehow secure it to the seat. This is where plastic ties come to the rescue. By the way, I used polyamide ties from DKS - a reliable thing...

We find reinforcement in foam casting...

... and thread the ties through it.

Then we begin to tighten the upholstery until the fastening element coincides with the corresponding part of the foam casting. Next, we attach the fastening element with ties.

... and tighten them.

We remove the tails of the clamps with pliers.

We do the same with the rest of the fasteners on the back and seat.

We fasten the plastic seam of the back and fasten the seat straps.

How to remove the rear seat on Samara 2 (VAZ 2114)?

• Water in the cabin on the right side of the VAZ 2114 – 3 answers
• Blows air from above the driver's door on a VAZ 2115 - 3 answers
• The seat tilt handle in 2114 broke - 1 answer
• Why is there water under the floor mats on a VAZ 2114? – 1 answer
• VAZ 2114 cigarette lighter does not work - 1 answer

This is done quite simply.

1) Use a screwdriver to pry off the decor. remove the left rear seat mounting trim. Do the same with the right one.

2) Unscrew the bolts on the right and left (a 10mm socket is useful) that attach the seat cushion and remove it.

3) Next, unscrew the lower fastenings of the seat back (left and right).

4) The seat back is removed along with the trunk floor carpet.

How to remove a VAZ 2114 seat to install other components or replace old passenger seats? On the one hand, the question is simple, but on the other hand, it is necessary to choose the right replacement for the old chairs. How to do it?

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.)

New front seats

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).

Step-by-step installation instructions

I'll tell you in what order I worked:

1. I unscrewed 2 bolts front and rear in the cabin.
2. I pulled out the old seats.
3. When installing a new seat from Solaris, I used the second internal hole. A standard bolt was screwed into it.
4. The outer runners are a little tight, so I had to put a little pressure on them. But the tension is very small.

The inner runners fit well. The alignment with the original hole is one to one. But I had to put a washer in, since the hole is slightly larger than the required diameter.

The seats stood up like family. They are slightly worn, not new. As a result, the size of the seats takes up exactly the same amount of space as standard ones.

If you measure the distance between the seats, it is a little more than 12 cm. Standard armrests are 12 cm wide, so it turns out that they will be flush. But there is such an accessory from Granta Sport, which is 11 cm wide. I ordered such an armrest and want to install it.

Now the armrest will not interfere with the adjustment of the backrest - there are no twists. They are now on the outside, and not knobs, but levers. This is more convenient - you can quickly recline and fold the seat.

The driver's seat now has a lift that can be used to adjust the height. With minimal lowering, it turns out to be slightly higher than on Grant.

That's why I'm riding in the lowest position for now. The seat belts fit without any problems.

For finance

How much does the whole remodel cost?

1. I bought 2 seats from a car dealer for 7,500 rubles.
2. Armrest – 2150 rubles.
3. Covers – 2000 rubles.

The total cost was 11,650 rubles for all my re-equipment. The most budget option, since I didn’t take original covers, but universal ones. They don't fit the pattern a little, but it's not noticeable. Original covers cost 6,500 rubles. To be honest, I regretted spending money on them.

Whether you want to make such a modification to the seats or not, decide for yourself. I was confused, I liked it - the Lada Granta became completely different. It became more comfortable in it.

Rear sofas - what to replace them with in the VAZ 2110?

If everything is approximately clear with the front seat options, then the rear sofas require a special approach. We are talking about an unconventional size and rather strange types of fastening of a sofa from AvtoVAZ. If you are far from automotive, it is better not to modify the rear seats yourself. To do this you will need the help of specialists

It is important to find a car of the same size, as wider cushions and backrests will have to be redesigned. The installation process is quite complicated:

you need to choose good rear sofas from models such as Volkswagen Polo, Hyundai Solaris, KIA Rio, Renault Logan, and you can also pay attention to Toyota Corolla; Next comes the dismantling of the seats of your car, which is not particularly difficult - just unscrew a few fasteners to get all the structural parts without any difficulties; Next, you should try on new seats, it is quite possible that you will have to order their re-upholstery at a studio, since it is very difficult, and sometimes impossible, to guess the size perfectly; the next step is the installation of fasteners, it is necessary to remove the fastening parts from the VAZ seats and rearrange them on the purchased pillows and backrests for high-quality fastening; after that, all that remains is to install the finished seats in place and enjoy the updated interior of your car, also don’t forget to take a photo and share it on the forums and in the logbook.

Of course, this sounds much simpler than it is done. The process may take more than one day, especially if the seats need to be altered, shortened or lengthened. When choosing seats for the rear of a car, it is best to buy a whole interior set. This will help significantly reduce the cost of further alterations. After all, if you install chairs of different colors, you will have to sew covers or change the upholstery and spend extra money.

What is needed to install seats in Lada?

At car service stations, you could ask this question and receive a skeptical look from the mechanic in response. This is a rare task for workshops; not all bodywork specialists can perform this task. However, you can go in three ways to solve the problems that arise:

1. Self-remodeling. To do this, you will need to find good seats for a specific foreign car on the classifieds website. Next, the fasteners are cut off from the original seats and welded onto the purchased seats. After that, all that remains is to install the update in the car interior.
2. Search service station. Today there are many stations that are ready to do this job for you. In big cities there are even entire companies that install good seats in domestic cars. So it won't be too hard to find.
3. Purchasing ready-made refurbished chairs. It is quite possible that on the same advertisement site you can find seats for the VAZ 2110 that are ready for installation. The specialists themselves will digest the mount after receiving your order and send you the finished product.

Which option to prefer, choose for yourself. But before installing such a seat, it is worth checking the quality of welding. If the base is welded poorly, it is worth correcting this defect. For example, a crooked mount will force you to constantly sit with a small rotation of the body. And too flimsy installation will cause poor security. For example, in the event of an accident, such a seat can break off its fastenings and cause irreparable damage to the driver and front passenger.

Refurbishment or not

Some may consider this a refurbishment, but I think not. I installed the seats on the Grant from a foreign car in the standard places. Skids without welding, also with 4 attachment points. Therefore, the reliability and installation method have not changed. And I doubt that it will be noticeable.

I ordered covers for the front seats and armrest.

It is secured with 3 screws. You need to unscrew them and install the armrest on them.

The armrest mounts fit well, everything fit together. Does the armrest interfere with the handbrake? If you fold it back, you can freely grab the handle with your hand. If you lower it, then using the handbrake is not so convenient. The height of the armrest turned out to be slightly higher than the gearshift knob.

Modernization of interior and seats

OJSC AvtoVAZagregat produces and supplies seats for any VAZ model, including Lada Kalina Sport cars. A wide range of materials are used for seat upholstery with a different range of colors. The design of the seat includes a metal frame, which is made by welding, and padding elements, in the production of which elastic polyurethane foam is used. Textiles or artificial leather are used for upholstery. Specialists from AvtoVAZagregat OJSC have modified some elements of the Lada Kalina’s interior.

1. Now, in the production of seats, components of Russian and foreign production are used. Lada seats are distinguished by innovative padding and more pronounced lateral support. They have become much more comfortable, safer and meet standard requirements.
2. Pedal pads 11196 Sport 1.6L 16V are supplied as standard equipment for a VAZ car. A thick layer of polished stainless steel also has rubber inserts. They are fastened without drilling or riveting, using special clamps with bolts.
3. The salon is distinguished by the dark graphite color scheme of the instrument panel and other interior elements. The luxury package includes a climate system and a number of other options provided for it.

Advantages of seats in Lada Kalina Sport:

• the design solution in the layout plan made it possible to optimize the area of ​​the internal space;
• the seating height can provide sufficient visibility;
• the chairs are comfortable and ergonomic;
• large angles when opening doors adds convenience when passengers enter/exit;
• the rear seats can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of cargo sizes;
• The presence of glass with athermal properties can protect the car interior from seat burnout and interior overheating, and the luxury version of the model is equipped with a front seat heating system.

Due to the fact that modern materials are used in the Lada Kalina, the car's sound insulation is good. They are also currently developing seats for the Sport model, covered in artificial leather with performance characteristics corresponding to high-quality German-made samples.

In addition, the rear seats for the Lada Kalina car were designed using L-shaped headrests, which passed homologation testing at UTAK, in France. A project with seats for the Lada-2190 is at the development stage. The assembled seats are capable of withstanding 80,000 kilometers of testing for the condition of structural connections and installation.

Step-by-step installation instructions

I'll tell you in what order I worked:

1. I unscrewed 2 bolts front and rear in the cabin.
2. I pulled out the old seats.
3. When installing a new seat from Solaris, I used the second internal hole. A standard bolt was screwed into it.
4. The outer runners are a little tight, so I had to put a little pressure on them. But the tension is very small.

The inner runners fit well. The alignment with the original hole is one to one. But I had to put a washer in, since the hole is slightly larger than the required diameter.

The seats stood up like family. They are slightly worn, not new. As a result, the size of the seats takes up exactly the same amount of space as standard ones.

If you measure the distance between the seats, it is a little more than 12 cm. Standard armrests are 12 cm wide, so it turns out that they will be flush. But there is such an accessory from Granta Sport, which is 11 cm wide. I ordered such an armrest and want to install it.

Now the armrest will not interfere with the adjustment of the backrest - there are no twists. They are now on the outside, and not knobs, but levers. This is more convenient - you can quickly recline and fold the seat.

The driver's seat now has a lift that can be used to adjust the height. With minimal lowering, it turns out to be slightly higher than on Grant.

That's why I'm riding in the lowest position for now. The seat belts fit without any problems.

What I wanted to find

I decided to find something more convenient to put on this car. The main search criterion was that the width of the runners be the same as in the Lada Grant. The width distance between the fastening bolts is 45 cm. The length of the main skids that are attached to the car body is 41 cm.

If the runners are narrower than on the Grant, then the plates will have to be welded on. But I didn’t want this, since this is already re-equipping the car. If I screw the seats back to the standard places, there will be no conversion. The seats will hold securely and will definitely not come off. If there is welding, then it is unknown how it will all turn out.

I looked on the Internet, read, studied this topic. I decided on seats from Hyundai Solaris. They also have a width at the centers of the mounting holes of 45 cm. The length of the runners is also 41 cm. The only drawback is that the “ear” is riveted in front.

There is also a reinforcement at the back that will have to be removed.

After removing these elements, what remains are completely bare runners, which will be screwed into the Lada Granta. There is no need to drill anything, everything matches the standard fasteners - very convenient.

Seats from which foreign cars can be viewed for the Tens?

Fits almost all seats from cars of similar size. This could be a B or C class car, which is famous for its comfort. Thanks to the abundance of disassemblies, buying used chairs will not be a problem. All that remains is to choose the chair model directly. For such a selection, it is worth focusing on already successfully completed projects, which car owners are happy to brag about in in-flight magazines. Here are just some popular examples:

1. BMW E60. The seats in these models of Bavarian cars were mostly leather, and also equipped with an electric drive and other additions that the car owner would obviously like.
2. Hyundai i40 or Hyundai i30. The seats are very comfortable and well thought out, and the ones from the i30 are preferable, as they leave more space in the cabin. The appearance is good and the side supports also work very well.
3. Skoda Octavia A5. The seats are very comfortable and compact, there are the necessary adjustments, and well-defined lumbar support. The quality of the upholstery in this model is also pleasing, so you will definitely be satisfied with these chairs.
4. Ford Focus. The alterations will be quite complex, but nevertheless, you will get excellent results. Especially if you can find seats from more expensive trim levels of this car, they are very comfortable and beautiful.
5. Recaro. Many sports style lovers would like to see Recaro seats in their car. The easiest way is to find Opel proposals, but there are also solutions from other models; altering them will not be difficult even with your own hands.

This list goes on with most compact models from Volkswagen, Mercedes and other brands. There are a lot of interesting ideas on the market. But before buying chairs, you should find out if anyone has performed such an operation on their Ten before you. This can be found on the Internet, since most owners will definitely boast about such a change. However, you can try something new by posting your experience on the Internet to help others.

The simplest options - almost without modifications

There are legends on the Internet that many seat models fit the VAZ 2110 without any modifications at all. But in fact, without any special modifications, you can only install Recaro from old Opel. All other options will have to be redone and digested. There are also arguments that this is not a safe process at all and could lead to disaster. Let's draw a definite line under all that has been said and give specific recommendations so that nothing bad happens:

• you will still have to weld the slides on the seats, but you don’t have to do it yourself, it’s better to order this work from a good welder, maybe not even a car mechanic;
• after welding, no further alterations are needed if you have chosen the seats correctly, that is, you have not bought too wide or high seat options because of beauty and cheapness;
• it is more difficult to change the rear sofa due to its rather specific size, but there are model options on the market with identical widths; you just need to look for offers at a disassembly site;
• you can keep all the functions of the seats from the foreign car - height adjustment, lumbar support adjustment, electrical adjustments (but they will have to be connected separately from the wiring);
• The conversion is not only possible, it is really worth it, since AvtoVAZ does not install the best seats, with the only exceptions being Vesta and X-RAY.

These are the conclusions that can be drawn from installing foreign-made seats on a VAZ 2110 car. This is a good idea that should result in positive emotions during the trip. In almost any foreign car, the seats are much more comfortable than in domestic cars.

We install new seats on the Niva - the advantages of tuning models

One of the most important advantages is the possibility of their additional equipment. If you order such chairs directly from the studio, you are given the opportunity to equip them with an electric heating system, an embroidered logo (this can be either the emblem of the manufacturer or just a VAZ logo), adjustable lumbar support, as well as a forward reclining mechanism, which is especially important for Niva owners.

Drivers also note the convenience and comfort of the tuned seats. Each of these options has adjustable lumbar support rigidity, which eliminates driver fatigue on long trips. The seating position of this chair is significantly higher than that of standard ones, and visibility inside increases accordingly. Some models are additionally equipped with locking mechanisms and other technical bells and whistles.

As for reliability, unlike standard VAZ ones, these products are made of high-quality steel, and therefore have a reliable and durable design. Proof of this is the presence of normalized corners (present on almost every tuned chair). They are often made from rolled metal measuring 5x4x0.4 centimeters.

The cost of used products taken from disassembly and those purchased by drivers at a tuning studio is almost the same - about 100-200 US dollars per unit.
