Windshield wipers are an important component of vehicle safety, regardless of its class or brand. The visibility from the driver’s seat depends on how the Lada Vesta windshield wipers work in all weather conditions and emergency situations.
Types of windshield wipers by design type
Windshield wiper blades, although not the most important, but quite important part of the car. High-quality devices ensure glass cleanliness and driving safety.
By design, there are framed, frameless, and hybrid brushes. Each type has advantages and disadvantages. Let's look at them before deciding which wipers are better for the Lada Vesta.
Frame
Windshield wipers of a frame design, although they appeared first, remain the most popular. In such wipers, the rubber band is fixed to a hinge frame, which presses it tightly, so that the bend of the band always corresponds to the bend of the glass.

But such wipers are not without their drawbacks:
- problems arise when used in winter;
- outdated design.
The undeniable advantages of such windshield wipers are good pressure on the glass and a lower price compared to other types.
Frameless
Such windshield wipers have an extremely simple design. A metal plate is installed inside the rubber case with plastic plugs.

Advantages of frameless brushes:
- excellent aerodynamics;
- perform well in winter;
- Easy to replace windshield wiper tape.
The main disadvantage of this type is the loose fit in the middle part. But it can be eliminated by selecting a windshield wiper for a specific model.
Hybrid
These brushes combine the advantages of frame and frameless construction:
- excellent aerodynamics;
- clamping properties - like frame ones;
- modern design;
- protective casing;
- smaller number of connections compared to frame ones.

The main disadvantage of combined windshield wipers is their high price.
Disadvantages of standard Lada Vesta wipers
The main disadvantage of the standard Lada Vesta windshield wiper blades is that the size is insufficient to optimal condition. The wipers work fine under normal conditions. With the onset of cold weather, drivers experience minor problems with cleaning their windows. The quality of the rubber requires better performance, since the wipers do not fit tightly to the glass.
When it rains, due to the lack of windshields, water flows from the front window onto the glazing of the driver's door, limiting lateral visibility.
What kind of wipers are installed on Vesta at the factory?
The manufacturer installs windshield wipers of a frame structure on Vesta.
Size of windshield wipers "Lada Vesta", "SV" and "Cross"
The standard wiper on the driver's side is 600 mm long, on the passenger side - 450 mm. When folded, the distance between them is only 35 mm.
On the driver's side, the distance between the end of the wiper and the left edge of the glass is 5 cm. In the upper part, the wiper does not reach the edge by 2.8 cm. On the passenger side at the top, an 8 cm wide strip remains uncleaned.
How to replace wipers on Lada Vesta
Changing the brushes, lift them until a right angle is formed and turn them. Now the wiper can be easily removed and replaced with a new one by reversing the steps. This procedure is optional, but if possible, it is worth taking the chance.
Tests conducted by different brands have established that the best replacement option is RainBlade Advanced brand wipers. These brushes have shown stable performance and can successfully compete with famous products. They have no equal in pricing policy. The car owner should not skimp on quality, and good products within 1,500 rubles will make you forget about problems in the cold or poor cleaning.
A good car owner should renew their windshield wiper blades every season. Some Lada Vesta owners complain of scratches after using standard wipers. If the reason was in the windshield wipers, the official dealer will replace the glass free of charge. Let's look at the sizes of windshield wipers on the Lada Vesta.

Standard wiper sizes are:
- driver's side – 600 mm;
- on the passenger side - 450 mm.
Pros and cons of factory wipers
satisfy drivers. The main complaint is the size. To eliminate this drawback, the brush in front of the driver's seat can be replaced with a longer one (610 mm). The passenger side can be left stock. Some car enthusiasts use the 630/480 mm option. But this is not always justified, since the contact of the brush with the glass in the middle part deteriorates.

In severe frost, the cleaner does not adhere well to the glass and does not work effectively.
Exploitation
During the operation of the standard brushes on the Lada Vesta, it becomes clear that this element in the Russian car functions satisfactorily with several minor drawbacks:
- In severe frosts, the wiper heats up and does not adhere to the glass so tightly; as a result, the wiper blades fight dirt, ice and snow on the window ineffectively in such circumstances.
- When turning on the windshield wipers on the Lada Vesta during rain, be prepared for water to get from the front window onto the glass of the left front door, as a result of which visibility is seriously impaired.
- The wipers themselves are quite flimsy, the basic length of the blades is short.
Which brushes are best for Vesta
The Lada Vesta SV Cross wipers installed by the manufacturer have good performance, but wear out over time and need to be replaced.
Analogues:
- Bosch Aerotwin - Belgian frameless brushes. They have the best price-quality ratio.
- Denso Hybrid is the highest quality all-season hybrid design.
- Bosch Twin Spoiler - reliable high-quality brushes with a spoiler.
- Bosch Eco is the most affordable option that maintains Bosch quality.
- Bosch Rear - rear frame type.
Vesta can be equipped with brushes of any type, suitable in size and mounting.

Replacing wipers on Vesta
For preventive purposes, windshield wipers on Lada Vesta cars should be replaced during seasonal maintenance.

The hook type fastening, which is used on most Lada family cars, makes this operation simple.
Front wipers
To remove the front brushes you need to follow a few simple steps:
- Press the latch.
- We remove the brush from engagement with the lever.
- Remove the brush from the leash.
Installation is carried out in reverse order.
Rear wiper
When replacing the rear wiper blade on a Lada Vesta SW or Lada Vesta SW Cross, dismantling is performed in the following order:
- Raise the leash.
- Take the lower part of the brush.
- We disengage it by moving upwards.
To install a new brush, repeat the steps in reverse order.
Disabling the rear wiper on Vesta
Lada Vesta SW and SW Cross cars equipped with a rain sensor have an exclusive function. The rear wiper starts working immediately when reverse gear is engaged, if there is a signal from this sensor and the front wipers were turned on before or they were recently turned off. This option is supposed to improve visibility, helping the driver to reverse safely. But moving the device dry leads to accelerated wear and scratches on the glass.

Drivers who are accustomed to operating the rear windshield wiper themselves can disable this function. There are three ways to do this:
- using a computer, adapter, Ddt4all software;
- using a smartphone, adapter, installing the ECU Tweaker application;
- A radical method is to cut the conductor connecting the reverse gear to the rear wiper control unit.
After performing any of the operations, the rear wiper can only be turned on manually by first setting the corresponding button.
How to replace wipers on Lada Vesta - instructions
Replacing windshield wipers on a Lada Vesta is simple and quick. It is enough to lift the installed cleaner and rotate it until it reaches a horizontal position relative to the lever. Pressing the brush with your hands, remove it from the mount. To install a new kit, perform similar steps in the opposite direction. Installation is simple.
The Lada 2180 car has a simple function, the goal is to simplify the replacement of brushes. Let's start the glass wiper replacement mode by turning off the ignition and setting the switch to the third position. The glass wipers will go into replacement mode after one stroke to stop at the top point.
Standard Russian cleaners on Lada Vesta cars are a solution with a low price and low quality rubber. They work, but have drawbacks. An experienced driver will understand that they need to be replaced due to quality.
In this case, frameless brushes are the best option. They are lightweight, easy to use, and reliable. When choosing glass cleaners, it is important to buy a high-quality foreign-made product.
You can purchase an expensive model and inexpensive high-quality solutions, for example, RainBlade Advanced. Such a replacement is not mandatory, but significantly improves comfort in the car.
Winter option
The standard frame devices of the Lada Vesta do not always cope with their functions in winter. The frame becomes icy and does not provide a tight fit of the brush along its entire length. As a result, large areas remain that have not been cleared of snow and ice.
It is better to use frameless wipers on a Vesta of regular length in winter. Using longer ones is not advisable.
Recently there has been a trend towards using heated brushes, but they are only effective in mild frosts.
What is the EMM block responsible for?
An additional EMM body electronics unit is installed on Lada Vesta in an improved configuration. It is designed to control lighting, running and side lights, seat heaters, windshield heaters, windshield wipers and washers. The unit is very reliable, but can fail if non-standard equipment is installed incorrectly. Most often this happens when replacing standard daytime running lights and license plate lights with LED ones.
Troubleshooting
Owners of Lada Vesta can independently carry out computer diagnostics of the condition of the vehicle’s components and assemblies. This is possible thanks to the installation of a unit with a CAN communication bus.

There are two possible verification methods:
- self-diagnosis using an on-board computer with information displayed on the dashboard;
- diagnostics using a laptop, tablet or scanner via the OBD2 block.
In the first case, operational errors are recorded in the memory of the on-board computer and displayed on the dashboard. The disadvantage of this method is that errors are displayed in the form of a code that you need to be able to decipher, and that it is impossible to determine the exact location of the malfunction.
The second method is more informative, but requires additional equipment and software.
How to replace windshield wipers
The multifunction switch is switched to the “wiper replacement” mode - to the lowest position. The wipers stop in a vertical position. It is possible to stop them in this position by simply turning the ignition. Moving the brushes away from the glass, place a cloth under them so that when lowering the leash it does not hit the glass.
Pull the brush towards you and open the plug at the junction with the leash. Pull the wiper down while holding the arm. It will easily detach from the hook. The same procedure is followed to install a new windshield wiper.
