What happens if you choose the wrong brush size?
Large brushes
If you select brushes a little larger than required, then the pressing force of the brushes on the glass (especially frameless ones) drops significantly, which contributes to poor cleaning of the glass. Why are wipers poorly cleaned?
Also, during operation, larger brushes can climb onto the edge of the windshield sealing rubber during operation, thereby breaking away from the working surface.
Well, they have another problem that occurs on Kalinas, the brush on the driver’s side hits the edge of the driver’s door.
Small brushes
If the brushes are selected lower than required, then the main disadvantage is the reduction in the working surface area.
Also, due to small brushes, a dirty patch or “snot” of accumulated water may form in the middle of the windshield (during rain).
What happens if you choose the wrong brush size?
When choosing auto windshield wipers for a VAZ, it is imperative to pay due attention to their size, since a deviation of even 10-15 mm is very important.
Even a slightly increased brush size, in comparison with the manufacturer’s recommendations, can contribute to the manifestation of negative aspects during operation, namely:
- the glass is poorly cleaned even after prolonged operation of the brushes - the incorrect length of the brushes significantly reduces the clamping force of the wiper directly on the glass, so the quality of its cleaning will decrease, this is especially noticeable when using frameless windshield wipers;
- such wipers can touch the rubber seal on the windshield, thereby causing damage to it, while they come off the working surface, leave gaps with uncleaned stripes and do not provide high-quality cleaning;
- extended windshield wipers will touch each other, which means they can block their operation and deprive the driver of the required field of view on the highway at the wrong time;
- a large brush sometimes even touches the edge of the driver's door, causing some damage to the body of the car, and by knocking on the pillar, it simply irritates the driver and distracts from the situation on the road.
The size of the brush on the VAZ 2114 that is too small than what is provided by the manufacturer significantly reduces the cleaning efficiency, as it limits the area of glass cleaning (the central part of the windshield will not be captured by the brushes). In addition, during rain, the short length of the wipers favors the appearance of flowing water and the appearance of islands and streaks of dirt.
Brush sizes
VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115
The size of the windshield blades on these models is symmetrical and amounts to 51 cm on each side. But it is also possible to install brushes of a different size: on the driver’s side 53cm, on the passenger side 51cm. If you put both 53 cm each, then a thin strip of water will form in the middle.
The rear window blade size is 30cm. But you can put 33cm here, and there will be no problems. Some people also set it to 40cm, but in this case it will be necessary to increase the wiper stroke limit. In other words, so that the wiper does not fall very low and does not run into the rear window seal. This is done very simply: remove the motor and put it back, but offset by a couple of teeth.
VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099, 2110, 2111, 2112
The brush sizes are similar to 2114 (see above) because the body is the same, the windows are the same.
Kalina
As for Kalina, the driver’s brush is 60cm, the passenger’s brush is 40cm (41cm is possible). Rear wiper – 36cm.
Priora
The ideal brush size for the Priora is the same as for the VAZ 2114, i.e. 53cm is the driver’s brush, 50cm is the passenger’s brush (you can also try 51cm and 48cm). Rear wiper – 33cm.
Granta
On the grant, the size of the brushes coincides with Kalinowski’s: 60 cm for the driver’s brush, 40 (41 cm) for the passenger’s brush.
So, you have already decided on the size, then you need to find out how and which brushes to choose? Which brushes to choose?
Main dimensions of wipers on VAZ 2114:
The VAZ 2114 five-door hatchback is equipped from the factory with wipers of the following sizes:
- Driver side: 510 mm (20″).
- Passenger side: 510 mm (20″).

Important: the most common type of windshield wiper fastening for this VAZ model is a hook.
Alternative sizes:
If it is necessary to replace the left brushes, you can use products with a length of 530 (mm), but on the right side you should leave a standard size brush - 510 (mm).
The rear brushes are also replaced with larger sizes - 330-400 (mm).

Size of wipers on VAZ 2114
As it turned out, there are already 4 types of brushes: frame, frameless, hybrid and winter. My choice fell on frameless ones.
The size of the windshield blades on these models is symmetrical and amounts to 50 cm on each side. But it is also possible to install brushes of a different size: on the driver’s side 53cm, on the passenger side 51cm. If you put both 53 cm each, then a thin strip of water will form in the middle.
This is exactly what I decided to do, driver 53 cm, passenger 50, the result suits me)
Wipers for VAZ 2114: choosing the right size
The main functional task of windshield wiper blades is to ensure systematic and effective cleaning of the windshield and rear window of the car from snow, rain, and various contaminants. Their obvious advantage is the ability to take into account the curvature of the windshield shape and the compactness of the mount itself.
Wipers of almost all brands of cars of the VAZ family, including wipers on the VAZ 2114, have several operating modes. The windshield wiper operates in four modes:
- intermittent, with a short pause;
- first speed (slow);
- second speed (accelerated);
- cleaning with washer.
The rear wiper operates in two modes:
- cleaning without washer;
- simultaneous cleaning with washer.
Optimal size of wiper blades (windshield wipers) VAZ
- [flat_ab id=”3"]
- Long-term use of windshield wipers leads to significant wear, which is reflected in the inadequate performance of their functions.
- The first signs that you need to replace wipers of the appropriate size are:
- The appearance of streaks on the windshield and rear window due to several movements of the windshield wiper.
- The work of the wipers is accompanied by creaking and grinding noises.
- Deformed rubber tips.
Very important! If you do not pay due attention to the condition and operation of the wipers in a timely manner and do not promptly replace unsuitable brushes with a similar size, then during snowfall and heavy rain, the visibility of the road surface is greatly reduced.
This significantly slows down the driver’s reaction, which can lead to an emergency situation affecting the safety of both the driver, passengers, and other road users.
Correct selection of wipers by size for VAZ 2114
- To avoid unwanted problems during vehicle operation, experts recommend annual maintenance and, if necessary, replacing the brushes on the VAZ 2114 with ones compatible with the specific brand of car.
- Factory symmetrical VAZ 2114 auto wipers have a standard length on each side of the windshield - 51 cm.
- But it is possible to supply brushes of other sizes:
- driver's side – 53 cm;
- and on the passenger side - 51 cm.
But if you install 53 cm brushes on both sides, water flows in a thin stream in the middle of the windshield.
On the rear window of this model, the blade size is 30 cm, although some car enthusiasts install 33 cm and this does not create any additional problems.
Installing a rear wiper 40 cm long will require expanding the stroke limit.
But to ensure that the windshield wiper does not go too low, and also does not run into the glass seals: the motor is removed, then put back, with the obligatory displacement of a couple of teeth.
What happens if you choose the wrong brush size?
When choosing auto windshield wipers for a VAZ, it is imperative to pay due attention to their size, since a deviation of even 10-15 mm is very important.
Even a slightly increased brush size, in comparison with the manufacturer’s recommendations, can contribute to the manifestation of negative aspects during operation, namely:

In addition, during rain, the short length of the wipers favors the appearance of flowing water and the appearance of islands and streaks of dirt.
Modern auto wipers VAZ 2114
Leading manufacturers especially recommend modern frameless brushes VAZ 2114 to car enthusiasts.
Their advantageous feature:
- more dense, uniform pressure to the glass;
- less restriction of field of view for the driver;
- high-quality cleansing without streaks in both directions;
- no noise from air flow.
Helpful advice. Of great importance for the safe movement of the VAZ 2114 is the exact match of the brush sizes required by the manufacturer for the corresponding type of car. This is especially important in snowy winter, when the outline of the road is practically invisible.
Although frameless wipers have a slightly shorter service life, they are considered the best, and therefore cost a little more.
A very important factor in safety and comfort while driving a car is the removal of dirt and water from rain from the rear window. The rear wiper of the VAZ 2114, with a speed regulator, which is located inside the car, turning in both directions, copes with its functional tasks perfectly.

Size of wiper blades VAZ 2114
This car has not been produced since 2013. But purchasing brushes for him will not be difficult. The replacement process is simple: all brushes, including the rear one, are equipped with a hook type mount.
Well-functioning brushes are the key to avoiding problems on the road. VAZ 2114 is a car whose body is completely identical to VAZ 2108, 21099 and 2109. This allows the installation of identical brushes. It is only important to remember some features of the overall dimensions. There are no instructions from the manufacturer about the inadmissibility of installing longer brushes.
But if it is more than 510 mm on the passenger side, then water flow will certainly form between the two brushes. It interferes with visibility and creates inconvenience. When installing brushes of non-standard length, it is necessary to make changes to the drive design. Change restrictions. Which requires time and effort. It is much easier and faster to purchase brushes that are suitable in length.
Dimensions
The dimensions of the windshield wiper blades are determined by the manufacturer. You won't be able to find original ones for sale. But it won’t be difficult to find high-quality analogues in car stores. It is important to be careful: you need to give preference to manufacturers who have proven themselves well. There are a lot of counterfeit products on sale today. Ordinary fakes. Most often the latter are found - imitating well-known brands.
It's not that difficult to spot a fake. It is important to pay attention to many details. If the packaging is of poor quality, there is damage on it: most likely the buyer is looking at a fake. You need to measure the length of the brushes in advance. This will avoid mistakes.
Year of issue | Generation - body | Driver side | Passenger side | Rear | Mounting type |
2001-2013 | 1 | 530 mm | 510 mm | 300 mm | "hook" |
Original articles
It will be impossible to purchase original brushes. Since AvtoVAZ has long ago stopped producing such parts on its own. Large volumes are purchased from well-known manufacturers. For example, Bosch. Windshield wipers from this company are installed off the assembly line and are sold in their original packaging. It is important to remember: even AvtoVAZ products are counterfeit. You need to be careful when choosing. Poor quality brushes fail faster.

Replacement options
In addition to the original ones, there are many alternatives. Products from various manufacturers are well suited for the VAZ 2114. Since the length and mounting method are universal. Without exception, all presented products can be divided into categories:
- frame;
- frameless;
- hybrid;
- winter.
Frame
The classic design involves a metal frame. Its presence makes the structure more durable. But it is important to remember: it creates an obstacle to the passage of air around the car body. under the influence of the oncoming flow, the brush simply comes off a short distance from the windshield. Which worsens contact with the surface being cleaned. The advantage of frame brushes is their low cost.
Frameless
This variety does not have the disadvantages of brushes equipped with a frame. It has a presentable appearance and good aerodynamics. The oncoming air flow easily passes through the brush. Doesn't linger. Thanks to this, even at speeds of more than 140 km/h, contact with the surface being cleaned is not lost. Moreover, the cost of the part is relatively low. It has low strength.

Hella Dyna Blade WBU20+WBU20 | 9XW 197 765-201 9XW 197 765-201 | Frameless | From 1.5 thousand rubles |
Hybrid
Models of this type combine all the advantages. There are virtually no disadvantages. The brush itself is made from a single piece of rubber. But at the same time there is a metal structure inside it. Making the brush quite stiff. The shape of the wiper is aerodynamic, air easily flows around it. This allows you to avoid problems at high speed. Contact of surfaces (cleaned and cleaning) does not deteriorate.

Hella Razor Hybrid 20+20 | 9XW 204 584-201 9XW 204 584-201 | Length: 50 cm | From 1.2 thousand rubles |
Winter
Winter wipers are distinguished by their elasticity - even at sub-zero temperatures they clean the glass well. The secret of this property lies in the addition of rubber to the composition. It has the ability to retain its qualities in any conditions. Regardless of the temperature around. These brushes are suitable for those operating in the Far North:
Name | vendor code | Serial number | Price |
Trico Ice ICE500+ICE500 | 35-200 | ICE500 | From 1.8 thousand rubles |
When purchasing, it is important to focus on a number of factors:
- maximum driving speed (if more than 100 km/h, it is necessary to use brushes with an aerodynamic shape);
- weather conditions (if it’s constantly negative, you can’t do without winter brushes).

Replacement
The replacement process is relatively simple. Doesn't cause any problems. It includes the following main steps:
- it is necessary to place the brush in a vertical position - perpendicular to the wind stack (it must be fixed);
- Next, the plastic fastener is compressed on both sides - after which the brush just needs to be pulled towards the hood.
If everything is done correctly, the clamp should come apart without much effort. After which you can begin installing the new wiper. Plastic clamps and fasteners are made of fairly fragile plastic. Even famous brands are guilty of this. Therefore, all actions must be performed carefully, without sudden movements. Otherwise, small parts may be damaged. This will cause installation to fail. You will have to purchase new fasteners.
Length of windshield wiper blades VAZ 2114
Any part for a car must be selected correctly. Washers in this case are no exception. Their choice also needs to be approached responsibly so that there are no problems during operation. It is important that they match the size of the machine, otherwise there is a risk that the clamping force will drop, resulting in a decrease in the quality of cleaning. The excessively large size of these products can cause them to “climb” onto the sealing rubber during operation, which will reduce the surface area that is in contact with the wipers. And too small ones, due to the limited cleaning area, will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the brushes. Thus, the size of the windshield wipers is important, so when choosing, it is important to pay attention to this nuance.
What kind of windshield wiper should be on a VAZ-2114
VAZ 2113, 2114 and 2115 cars have factory windshield wipers with a length of 51 cm. If replacement is necessary, you can use wipers whose length is 53 cm. In this case, you must leave a standard size blade on the passenger side. It is noteworthy that these cars also have rear wipers of the following sizes:
- They are generally 30 cm long (11-12 in inches).
- It is possible to replace it with 33 cm.
- Products 40 cm long are also suitable, but for this you will need to move several teeth on the electric motor brush.
It should be noted that all cars from the AvtoVAZ plant are the progenitors of the Lada Samara, therefore they have symmetrical washers, like their descendants, and their average length is 53 cm.
Size of brushes for Lada Kalina, Priora, Granta cars
The wipers on these cars are not symmetrical.
On the driver's side they are 60 cm long, and on the passenger side - 40 cm. It is noteworthy that in this case the wipers cannot be replaced with larger ones. The rear clear has a length of 36 cm and also does not change. As for Lada Priora cars, their wipers are also not the same. On the driver's side they are 53 cm long, and on the passenger side - 50 cm. In this case, only passenger options are allowed to be changed. Those who wish can use smaller ones, 48 cm long, or larger ones - 51 cm. As for the rear wiper, in this case it is smaller than that of the Lada Kalina - 33 cm.
Lada Granta cars have the same cleaners as the Lada Kalina. So the dimensions are as follows:
- driver's brushes – 60 cm;
- passenger – 40 cm.
To summarize, we note that windshield wipers for cars are very important, especially in winter, when it snows and the road is practically invisible. They are also needed during rain in order to clean the windows and not interfere with visibility on the road. No car is produced without these devices. In general, glass cleaners on modern cars do not differ much from older brands. The only thing is that the technical characteristics of the new models are more advanced.
Previously, brushes could only remove water from the glass, but now they are able to remove dirt, midges, snow, etc. Thanks to this, visibility is significantly improved. Modern wipers are resistant to even the most severe frosts. They are made from durable materials and are divided into winter and summer. Of course, over time they lose their characteristics, so they need to be changed from time to time. Today such products are available to all car enthusiasts. It is very important not to neglect this, because high-quality washers are necessary for driver safety.

Where is the wiper relay for VAZ 2114?
Remember one important thing, before you start disassembling the stove, wiper, headlight or anything else - make sure that the fuse responsible for this circuit has not blown
