Today, the classic VAZ 2107 model is almost impossible to imagine without tinting. Every owner of this car is trying to make it more comfortable, and window tinting plays an important role in this matter. Of course, you can take the car to the nearest car service center so that professionals can do all the work. But this pleasure does not come cheap. Therefore, many car enthusiasts prefer to tint their “Seven” cars themselves. Is it possible? Yes. Let's figure out how this is done.

To quickly complete the task, the assistant will provide significant savings in time and resources, and will also significantly increase productivity. Prepare all this before starting work and your successfully tinted car is almost ready.
Pasting a reflective strip on the windshield
The tint strip must be cut along the roll with a small margin. Then wet the surface of the glass and place your workpiece on it with the adhesive layer facing out.
Make slits along the seals and remove excess tinting film.
Do not forget that you must use only special blades that do not leave scratches on the glass!
- Smooth out the pattern so that there are no horizontal folds - only vertical ones.
- Then, using a hairdryer and forcing, heat and smooth out the vertical folds.
The windshield is sensitive to temperature changes, so do not heat it up or cool it down suddenly!
- Moisten the workpiece, fold it in half and smooth it carefully so that there are no folds or wrinkles.
- Then, using a ruler and a knife, make notches at a distance of 10-12 centimeters from the top edge of the pattern.
Make notches as often as possible. Using this method you can make a reflective strip of any width. The width will depend on how far from the edge you make the notches.
- After this, remove the excess tint film.
- Then lay out the pattern along its entire length and use a ruler to cut the notches between each other (this process is clearly shown in the training video below).
Tinting the rear of the car according to GOST
Great news for lovers of black tints. According to the law, there are no restrictions on tinting the rear windows of cars. You can apply any tint film to the rear hemisphere of a VAZ 2107, regardless of its ability to transmit light.
The tint film can be installed on the rear windshield without problems and does not damage the heating filaments. Also, the rear side passenger windows can be tinted with a pattern or inscription without violating the instructions of GOST.
Owners of a VAZ 2107 car often face problems with external design. A trip in the summer on a hot day turns out to be simply torture when the car does not have tinted side windows. The sun penetrates into the cabin and heats it to serious temperatures. Since air conditioning is not provided from the factory, the only salvation for passengers is to open all windows. But even this situation does not lead to the best consequences; drafts and the likelihood of illness arise. The only solution to this problem is window tinting. But many owners would say that the way around this situation is to avoid long trips on hot days. But here another problem opens up. Translucent glass attracts car thieves, especially the expensive items inside. To solve such problems, only tinting the windows of the VAZ 2107 can help.
Which car windows are allowed to be tinted? Before solving such problems, you need to find out which glasses are allowed to be darkened with film. According to the traffic police rules, tinting all car windows is allowed. But on the windshield and front side, the applied film will have to transmit at least 70% of the light. If it is more, then the fine is provided upon proof of the real one. The front glass is allowed to be darkened from above to a distance of no more than 14 cm. Therefore, when choosing a film, be sure to take these important points into account.
The photo shows the types of light transmission as a percentage in order to roughly guide the transparency of the material.
To tint the rear window of a VAZ 2107 yourself, you can additionally watch a video after reading the material for greater clarity of the procedure. If this is your first time deciding to tint your windows, then it’s better to use a cheaper material, so that if it doesn’t work out, you won’t be so sorry for the money spent. To properly tint the rear and side windows, you must follow these rules:
- The garage or work area must be absolutely clean and free of dust in the air.
- Preliminary preparation of tools that will be required to complete the work.
The following material is used for tinting:
- construction hair dryer;
- special solution for cleaning windows;
- spray;
- rubber scraper (forcing);
- scissors;
- microfiber cloth.
Let's get started
The sequence includes the following stages of work:
The procedure for tinting the rear window is completed; you need to wait three days until the film dries completely and install it in place. If everything is done correctly and there is no air or specks of dust left under the film, then even Chinese material will last for more than one season.
Darkening side windows
The procedure for darkening the side windows is even simpler than the rear one. It is also necessary to remove the material to be pasted and wash it clean. Further, everything according to the above scheme. The process of gluing side windows can be viewed on video on the Internet. In the video you can see more detailed aspects of darkening. After all the windows of the VAZ 2107 are darkened, it will take on the following appearance, as shown in the photo.
Important! When tinting windows, you need not only the correct sequence of actions, but also slowness, not being nervous and having a good mood, since this work is not easy and very painstaking.
Every business has its own shortcomings. In darkening, this is also indispensable; darkening the windows creates a problem that manifests itself at night and in the dark. The higher the percentage of darkening, the almost impossible it is to safely drive a VAZ 2107 in reverse. Anyone who darkened it already knows how unrealistic it is. But, if a material with a small percentage of darkness is installed, then visibility improves accordingly.
Do-it-yourself car window tinting is a great opportunity to improve the appearance of the car and protect the driver and passengers, both from prying eyes and from the bright sun. To carry out this operation, it is not at all necessary to contact specialists; this issue can be resolved on your own at home, which will help you save money and gain new skills and knowledge. It is important to prepare thoroughly and complete the work carefully.
Important
Be sure to wash the glass thoroughly and wait until it is completely dry. After this, place it in the oven for 5-10 minutes at a temperature of 60°C. If desired, you can make a film of a different color, but in this case you will need to use a different chloride. By adjusting the concentration of rosin and salt, you can change the color saturation yourself.
The main thing in this process is not to get carried away with tinting, because everything needs to be done in accordance with the current GOST. Acceptable window tinting stipulates that the windshield must transmit at least 75% of the light, while the remaining windows must transmit at least 70%.
Advantages and disadvantages of using paint and film
Car tinting 2107, done by yourself using paint or varnish, will require more time both during direct application and during subsequent possible removal. To remove such tuning from the headlights, you will need to completely disassemble them. Car windows are usually not tinted with paint or varnish. Working with film is faster and does not require dismantling the lights, but it is better to remove the glass. Tinting headlights has one more feature: incorrectly selected material melts during operation.
The tinting of car windows or headlights should not exceed existing standards, otherwise the driver will be subject to an administrative fine.
After weighing the pros and cons, choosing a material, they determine its area of application: headlights or car glass, and get to work. Below are recommendations for those who do their own tinting.
Useful tips
It is recommended to take a partner with you who will help you carry out all the procedures, because it is practically impossible to tint car windows yourself. Over the past few years, the VAZ 2110 has especially often begun to be tinted, as the car has become very popular, but many, trying to do it alone, make a huge number of different mistakes. It is also worth noting that all work should be carried out in a dust-free room, and if you are carrying out the procedure outside, then this should only be done in calm weather.
Preparing for work
First, you need to check the integrity of the glass, because the film will adhere well and will only look good on undamaged windows. Secondly, it’s worth deciding on the color of the tint film; it’s best to take a shade that matches the color of the car - then you definitely won’t go wrong.
Next, you need to select the light transmittance of the tint. It is important to take a film with a color transmission rate of no higher than 70 percent in order to take into account the requirements of existing legislation. The main thing is not to save money, because cheap film will stick much worse
. move to the corners, and will last significantly less than its more expensive counterparts. A good example of high-quality film are American samples; for example, for VAZ cars, a 20 percent film would be very convenient.
In the end, it is important to remember that, as with any car, tuning a VAZ 2109 car is quite a feasible job.
pay special attention
Important points that should not be overlooked when applying tinting to car windows, especially if you do the work yourself:
- Washing glass should be done meticulously, rinse it several times so that the tinting work goes as smoothly as possible. Particular attention should be paid to the edges of the glass.
- If there is dirt on the glass that is very difficult to wash off, do not hesitate, boldly but carefully scrape the glass with a sharp knife, or better yet, with an ordinary stationery knife.
- Under no circumstances should the glass be dried after washing; it should dry on its own so that there are no streaks.
- Do not forget to protect the internal parts of the car in case there is no way to remove the glass.
- It is better to level the film from the middle to the edges of the glass to remove excess air and solution.
- The film will adhere more easily to the glass if two people apply it, so ask for help.
- The main thing is not to allow any residual solution under the film, even in small quantities.
- As long as the film is wet, it can still be adjusted.
- Some write that you can apply a soap solution to the film itself, but in fact it is better not to get carried away with this, otherwise over time the tint film will slide off the glass.
- If bubbles appear on the surface of the rear windows, a special industrial hair dryer will be very helpful. It is very important not to overcook or exceed the permissible temperature limits, i.e. 200 degrees Celsius.
- Drying takes up to 9 hours, so the best option is to start cutting off the excess film from the glass after lunch and leave it in the garage overnight.
- Until the windows are dry, do not lower them or raise the windows under any circumstances!
- It is recommended not to install seals on glass for 2 weeks!

It is difficult to make Dagestan auto tuning, but it is possible. Choose a darker film and apply it to all glass. Do not skimp on materials and do not rush in the process of completing the work. Take on the task with confidence and patience, and a wonderful result will not keep you waiting long. Tinting a car yourself is a pleasant technical task and a good option for saving money.
Types of tints
In addition to classic do-it-yourself tinting, there are other types. However, they all require special knowledge and equipment, so it’s unlikely that you can do it on your own. We suggest you familiarize yourself with these tints:
Removable toning
Do-it-yourself removable tinting at home is possible, but only if you already have experience in such work and also have the necessary tools and materials.
A film for static tinting is applied to a special plastic substrate. This removable backing is very easy to remove if necessary, for example, if you are stopped by a traffic police officer, and then just as easily put back in its original place. However, not all drivers find removable tint convenient.
Electrical toning
Doing electronic tinting yourself at home is quite difficult, since it involves installing a special three-layer glass. The main feature of such auto glass is that it changes color depending on the desire of the driver. Using the remote control, you can set any dimming level.
Spraying on glass
This type of tinting can only be performed in a factory setting, since it is carried out using a special technology that is unlikely to be reproduced on your own.
A very thin layer of metal is sprayed onto the glass under vacuum conditions, thus darkening the surface by an average of 25%.<.p>
Automatic tinting (double glass)
In this case, two glasses are installed - regular and tinted. You also need to install additional window lifters so that, if necessary, you can lower the tinted glass and leave the usual transparent one. So, double glass will always save you from a fine if traffic police officers suddenly decide to check the percentage of tinting.
In principle, you can handle the installation of double glass yourself. However, to do it yourself requires a lot of practice.
Second option
Glass can also be tinted in another way. In this case, a 20% solution of rosin is prepared in specialized caustic soda. The rosin should dissolve until the liquid turns dark yellow. After this procedure, the prepared product is carefully filtered. A small amount of ferric chloride solution or special ferrous sulfate should be added. It is worth noting that a red precipitate of iron resinate should form, which should be separated, then washed and dried well. This precipitate can be completely dissolved in gasoline.
The prepared solution is applied to the glass using the same spray bottle. It is extremely important that tinting the rear window of a car with your own hands, as in the case of other windows, is carried out exclusively on a clean surface. In particular, you can degrease it in a soap and soda solution.

Vinyl wrapping (Car Wramping) VAZ 2107
We will wrap (Car Wramping) a VAZ 2107 with vinyl film. In general, the process is similar to applying a tint film to glass. Before you start working, you need to stock up on the following tools: clean, dry rags, a sharp knife, a hair dryer or a hair dryer, a scraper with a rubber or felt plate, a sprayer with water and detergent. If the sticker is small in size and applied to a flat surface of the body, then in this case a hairdryer is not necessary.
It will not be superfluous if another person helps you, this is if the sticker is more than half a meter in length. The vinyl sticker itself consists of the very bottom, where there is a siliconized paper backing, the sticker itself and the mounting film for transferring the image to the body of the VAZ 2107. Before you start work, you need to thoroughly rinse the car body and clean it of chemical contaminants, after which wait a while until the surface is completely dry. We pre-treat the sticker area with a solvent. The air temperature during work should be at least 5 degrees Celsius, however, small stickers that are glued to a flat surface can be glued at lower temperatures. We determine exactly where the vinyl film will be glued; mark in advance where the upper corners of the sticker will be located. Before removing the backing, apply the sticker to the surface of the car and see how it lays down and fits the body. It’s better to check everything in advance so you don’t have to worry about aligning the pattern later. Next, we separate the protective layer, treat it with water from a sprayer, and also spray the treated surface of the VAZ 2107 body with a sprayer. This is done so that in case of inaccuracy, the situation can be easily corrected by moving the film, plus this way you can easily remove air bubbles from under the film.
Do not soak the paper backing, otherwise problems may arise when separating the sticker from the backing. We apply the sticker to the car, roll it with a rubber spatula from the middle to the edges, then dry the surface with a hairdryer. Be careful not to allow wrinkles and folds to form. If a section of the body is not level, you do not need to roll the entire sticker on at once. First, roll its central part, which runs on a flat place, and leave the edges untouched. Gradually go from the middle to the edges, stretch and heat the sticker, preventing bubbles from forming. When a wrinkle forms, you need to carefully tear off the glued part and roll it again, while heating it generously with a hairdryer, but it is important not to overdo it and not melt the film. After drying, let the film stand for 15 minutes. Next, pull the edge of the mounting film and separate it from the application. Take a rubber spatula and remove any remaining air and water bubbles. If too large bubbles form, heat this area with a hairdryer and pierce it with a needle, pressing this area to the body.

Instructions
Initially, you will need to remove the seals before tinting. All car windows to which tinting will be applied must be thoroughly washed with a specialized detergent. You should also rinse all corners very thoroughly. Next, tinting car windows with your own hands (VAZ 2109, 2110, 2107, etc.) is carried out as follows:
- A soap solution is prepared, which is a standard detergent or shampoo mixed with warm water, after which it is poured into the prepared spray bottle.
- The outer side of the glass that has been washed is thoroughly sprayed with a soap solution, after which a tint film is immediately applied, which is cut according to the required dimensions. It is worth noting the fact that the dark layer should be directed inward, while the transparent layer should be directed outward. Here you should be extremely careful, because the parties must never be confused. If you cannot decide which side is dark, then you should split your film very slightly from one corner. After the film is applied to the glass, careful alignment and cutting is carried out. It is best to leave a margin of one centimeter on each edge.
- Now the inner surface of the glass is covered with soap solution. After this, you should act extremely quickly, because the glass should not have time to dry. Carefully separate the dark layer of the film, and at the same time moisten it with the solution with which the spray bottle is filled. In this case, the work of an assistant is very important, because you will be able to perform all procedures much more carefully. In this case, one person will have to hold the clear layer of film, while the other will pull it and spray the dark layer.
- A dark layer is applied to the inside of the car glass. As mentioned above, while tinting car windows with your own hands (VAZ 2106, 2107, 2110 and all others), the glass must remain wet. It is also mandatory to carry out treatment with a spray gun, after which a transparent layer is applied, since the film must have effective protection from any damage. After carrying out all these procedures, you should immediately smooth the film using a rubber spatula, moving from the center to the edges. In this case, you should be especially careful, because any sudden movements are extremely undesirable. You should also completely get rid of any air bubbles.
The film should be smoothed until the transparent part falls off on its own, after which the dried transparent film can be completely removed. Now you can trim the protruding edges by running a knife along the edge of the car glass, but in this case it is extremely important to act without any haste.
If you have a hair dryer, then you can thoroughly dry the car glass along its perimeter, but if you don’t have a hair dryer, then just close the door and start working on the next glass. It is advisable that over the next two days you do not insert any seals into the doors or open tinted windows.
What to consider?
The film must be attached directly to the inside, because this way you can ensure its maximum protection from various damages.
If you need to tint the rear window of a car with your own hands, or you even want to tint all permissible windows, then you should first understand where this film can be installed and where it cannot. In Russia, in accordance with current legislation, tinting of front car windows can be carried out exclusively using a film in which the light transmittance is at least 75%.
Why do they do this?
There are several most common reasons why drivers do their own window tinting:
- It reduces interior heating by approximately 60% even in the hottest times.
- Thanks to the presence of tinted windows, virtually no harmful ultraviolet rays enter the car. This way you can protect yourself from skin cancer.
- If there is a side collision between two cars, do-it-yourself window tinting will help keep the glass from breaking into small pieces. This way, the driver will always remain protected from any cuts.
- By tinting, you can get rid of the sun's rays, reflections of snow, as well as the light of the headlights of oncoming traffic, which can dazzle while moving.
- With the help of tinting, the driver provides effective protection not only for the interior trim, but also for various plastic parts that can deteriorate quite badly under direct sunlight.
Do-it-yourself glass tinting provides all these effects.
Tools
Not everyone understands that tinting is not such a simple procedure, and it is not enough to just take and stick a film. You definitely need a certain number of tools in order to properly tint your car windows yourself. VAZ 2107, 2106 - these and other domestic cars are no exception, and you should not think that it is easier to apply film to our cars than to others.
In this regard, you will need the following tools:
- Film. In the vast majority of cases, a single roll of standard sized tint film is sufficient to cover all the side windows.
- Rubber spatula. Often, when you buy tint film, you will be given a specialized plastic scraper as a bonus. Of course, you can also use it when you do your own car window tinting. This tool is quite effective and convenient, but there is a risk that micro-scratches will remain on the glass.
- Stationery knife. A knife is also supplied with the film, but in fact it often becomes dull quite quickly, as a result of which the film begins to literally tear. That's why it's always better to have an extra utility knife on hand.
- Glass cleaner and warm, clean tap water.
- Completely dry cloth. It is worth noting the fact that the rag must be free of lint. This is the only way you can be absolutely sure that during the tinting process you will not cause any micro-scratches on the glass.
- Spray.
How to choose a tint film
Speaking about tinting a VAZ 2107, one cannot help but touch on the most important question: how to choose a tinting film? The main rule when choosing film is this: savings are unacceptable here.
Yes, there is a great temptation to buy cheap Chinese film. But the throughput of such film leaves much to be desired. When driving at dusk, the driver may no longer be able to distinguish obstacles located only fifteen meters from the car. And the service life of Chinese film is very short: a car owner will be very lucky if it lasts at least a couple of years. And when the driver finally decides to get rid of the cheap film, another unpleasant surprise awaits him: a dark layer of paint remaining on the glass. The fact is that on cheap tinting, the paint layer is usually mixed with the adhesive layer (it is precisely because of this feature that visibility deteriorates at dusk). After removing the film, the sticky paint simply remains on the glass and is not so easy to remove.
Expensive and high-quality tinting does not have this drawback, which is why it is worth paying attention to the products of the companies listed below.
How to tint a VAZ 2107 car using film yourself
When tinting a VAZ 2107, no special problems usually arise, but there are several nuances that we will talk about.
If we take into account the fact that 20% of the Russian population are owners of domestic VAZ cars and modernize them with their own hands, then a short description of the work on tuning these cars would be appropriate. One of the simplest and most common types of tuning is window tinting. This time a VAZ 2107 was chosen to describe the tinting process.
The VAZ “Seven” is a car that is simply impossible to imagine without tinting. The first thing the new owners of this model did was to cover all the windows except the front (and sometimes even that) with a dark film. Some even put a strip of tint on top of the windshield to feel like they were in a tank.
Thus, the “Seven” without tinting could only be seen in the factory workshop or in a car showroom. I wanted to tint her right away: it seemed that she was missing the most delicate detail of her clothing. In such a tinted form, the seventh model was remembered and loved by many.
But the “happiness” did not last long. Legislation has become stricter regarding tinting. Many had to remove the resin film and stick on an approved one, which already made it possible to view the interior against the light. However, the translucent permitted tinting practically did not spoil the image of the VAZ 2107 that had developed over the years.
About light transmission standards for tinted glass
Nobody forbids tinting the windows of a VAZ 2107. However, if this is done without regard to the law, problems with traffic police officers are guaranteed for the car owner.
From January 1 of this year, the Legislative Assembly intends to seriously increase fines for improper tinting of a car to 1,500 rubles. The requirements for glass for light transmission according to GOST 32565 2013 are as follows:
- there are no restrictions on light transmission for the rear and side windows of cars;
- the light transmission rate for the windshield is 70%;
- it is allowed to stick strips of colored film on the upper part of the windshield; their width can reach 14 cm;
- finally, the current GOST says nothing about so-called mirror tinting, and their use is not regulated in any way.
