Replacement of windshield and rear windows of VAZ 2106


Replacing windshield and rear windows

You will need: a screwdriver, a blanket (or something similar) to lay under the glass, a piece of cord (preferably nylon slippery) with a diameter of 3.5–4 mm and a length of about 5 m.

USEFUL TIPS

Do the work with an assistant.

Pay attention to the marking in the upper right corner of the windshield. Purchase new glass with the same markings. Moreover, to avoid buying fake glass, check its strength by rubbing it with a cloth moistened with a solvent. The markings on branded glass cannot be removed, but on fake glass they are often easily washed off.

1. Move the windshield wiper arms and blades away from the glass. 2. Unscrew the three screws securing the decorative trim of the front side pillar of the body and remove it (the right one is shown, the left one is located symmetrically).
3. Remove the rear view mirror (see “Rear view mirrors”).
4. Remove the sun visors and their holders (see “Interior fittings”).
5. Disconnect the front fastening of the right handrail (see “Interior fittings”). 6. Remove the decorative trim for the left ceiling lining mounting.
7. Remove the screw and remove the cover holder.
NOTE
The pad is held in place by its own elasticity, but it is better to have an assistant support it.
8. Remove the trim. 9. Pry up the seal in the upper corner of the glass and move it behind the body flange.
NOTE
Operations on the right corner of the glass are shown. On the left, the work is performed in the same way. Work can be done on both sides simultaneously.
HELPFUL HINT
If the seal has hardened, remove the trim.
To do this, slide the trim covering the joint of the edging in the middle of the lower part of the seal...
...opening the joint.
Use a screwdriver to pry up the edging, remove it from the groove of the seal and remove.
10. While squeezing out the seal with your fingers, simultaneously press on the glass and... 11. ...move its upper corner out of the body opening.
12. Press the corner of the glass from the body from the inside. 13. Move the top and side parts of the glass away from the body and remove the glass.
14. Place the glass on the hood, carefully moving it over the windshield wiper arms. 15. Starting from the middle of the bottom side of the glass...
16. ...remove the seal from it.
17. Clean the glass opening from rust and dirt.
WARNING
In the upper part of the opening, the ceiling lining is secured to the body flange with seven spring holders...

...check their integrity, replace if necessary.

18. Clean the grooves of the seal from dirt, mastic (if used), and glass residues (if it is broken).
HELPFUL ADVICE
Replace the seal if there is mechanical damage or signs of aging.
19. Clean the two drain holes (one each on the right and left) in the lower corners of the seal.
NOTE
There is a drain hole in the seal.
20. Place the seal on the new glass, starting from the bottom corners (if the trim was removed, install it). 21. Place the cord into the groove of the seal, which is used to put it on the flange of the body opening, so...
22. ...to ensure that the cord overlaps approximately 200 mm at the bottom of the glass... 23. ...and the ends of the cord remained of sufficient length.
HELPFUL ADVICE
If the cord is non-slip, lather it. To make work easier, additionally lubricate the edge of the seal with soapy water.
24. Insert the glass into the opening so that the groove of the seal where the cord exits fits onto the flange of the opening, and the ends of the cord are inside the body.
NOTE
Be guided by the marks of the sealant on the surface of the body.
25. Install the glass by slowly and carefully pulling out one end of the cord so that the edge of the seal that it moves back passes through the flange of the opening, covering it from the inside of the body.
WARNING
An assistant should press the glass against the opening. If necessary, use a screwdriver to adjust the edge of the seal.

The operation is performed in two steps - pull each end of the cord to the middle of the upper side of the glass.

26. Align the seal on the outside along the perimeter of the glass by tapping it with the edge of your palm. If the edging was removed, adjust its joint and cover it with an overlay.
27. Install the removed parts in the reverse order of removal.

The rear window is replaced in the same way as the windshield, with the exception of additional operations.

1. Use a screwdriver to pry up the trim trim in the lower corner of the glass and... 2. ...remove it (the left one is shown, the right one is removed in the same way).

Removing front and rear

windshields on a VAZ
2106
are created when they are replaced with new ones, during body work, for example, when painting a car or for tinting them. To remove the glass, we will need the help of an assistant, as well as a blanket or something like, a screwdriver, a piece of cord with a diameter of about 4-6mm. and about 5 meters long.

If everything is there, then you can start repairing:

  • First, inside the car, we need to remove all the decorative interior parts that will interfere with us. First, these are the decorative trims of the front side pillars, remove the interior rearview mirror (see Replacing

    rearview mirrors of a VAZ 2106
    ), remove the sun visors, remove the upper decorative trim of the ceiling.
  • Now, starting from the upper right corner (if it’s convenient for you, you can do both at once), use a screwdriver to pry the edge of the seal and slide it behind the body flange and then manually press the seal while simultaneously pressing on the glass. When performing this operation, it is necessary to remove the upper corner of the glass together with the seal from the body opening and press the corner of the glass
    from the body from the inside.
  • From outside the car, pry the windshield frame (lock) with a screwdriver and remove it from the seal. Next, having previously bent the windshield wipers, you need to move the top and sides of the glass
    and remove the glass, placing it on the hood, with a blanket or any other material previously laid down.

Installing the rear

or the windshield
of a VAZ is
a very simple operation that anyone can do even at home.

Rear windows can be replaced quickly and easily

on the classics.

Now that we have removed the front windshield, we need to:

  • Remove the rubber seal from it, starting from the middle. Check the seal for mechanical damage and, if necessary, replace it with a new one. Hardening of the rubber seal is also not allowed. We clean the seal and the edge of the glass from dirt and rust.
  • Check and, if necessary, clean the seal grooves from dirt, sealant and other debris.
  • Locate and clean drainage holes in the seal.

We install a new windshield on a VAZ 2106 . Follow the steps below:

  • Install the seal onto the new glass, starting from the bottom corners.
  • Next, take the previously prepared cord and insert it into the groove of the seal, which fits onto the flange in the body opening. By inserting the cord in a circle, ensure that it overlaps with the opposite end by about 20 cm.
  • Dilute the soap solution and use a brush to generously coat the seal and the internal opening of the body where the glass will sit.
  • Together with a partner, install the glass back into the opening so that the seal groove at the point where the cord exits sits on the flange of the opening and the ends of the cord are located in the car interior.
  • Now one person remains in the cabin and slowly begins to pull the cord so that the edge of the seal goes beyond the flange of the opening; if the edge does not go, then pry it off with a screwdriver, and an assistant, from outside the car, lightly taps on the glass in the place where you pull The cord puts a little pressure on the glass, thereby setting it in place.

After installing the front windshield in place, install all removed parts in the reverse order of removal.

The rear windshield is replaced in the same way, with the exception of some features:

  • The glass must be removed starting from the bottom corners.
  • Before removing the glass
    , in the lower corner, from the outside of the car, you need to remove the trim trim using a screwdriver.

In the VAZ Six, as in other cars, comfort and safety are ensured by car windows. As the vehicle is used, they are exposed to negative environmental factors, which leads to gradual damage to the surface. Ultimately, one glass or another has to be replaced. This procedure is simple and can be done by every Zhiguli owner.

At the beginning of the advent of such means of transportation as cars, their speed was barely faster than that of a person. The driver and passengers did not experience any discomfort and did not need any additional protection. But as speeds increased over time, the need arose to protect the people in the car both from the oncoming air flow and from dust, dirt, stones and precipitation. Automotive glass began to be used as such protective elements. They simultaneously play the role of a kind of shield, and also provide the necessary comfort in the vehicle interior. The main requirements that auto glass meets include high strength, safety and reliability during operation.

The windshield of a car, also called a windshield, is installed in the front of the body and provides protection for passengers and the driver inside. Since it is the windshield in a car that experiences the greatest impact from the environment (gravel, sand, dirt, etc.), it is on this element that damage in the form of chips and cracks most often appears. Sometimes situations arise when a pebble flies into the glass from passing or oncoming traffic, causing a cobweb (numerous cracks) to appear across the entire surface of the glass. In this case, the windshield must only be replaced. Therefore, it would be useful for owners of the VAZ “Six” to know in advance the dimensions of the windshield, which have the following values: 1440 x 536 mm.

The windshield is replaced with a minimum number of tools, but for convenience and safety, this procedure is best carried out with an assistant. The following tools will be needed:

  • slotted and Phillips screwdriver;
  • hook for prying up the seal.

Dismantling is carried out as follows:

    Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the fastening of the side trim.

If the sealing rubber has retained its softness and is not damaged (cracks, tears), then it can be reinstalled on a new windshield. However, classic Zhiguli cars are characterized by such a common malfunction as water leaking through the seal. Therefore, it is advisable to replace the element with a new one.

Installing new glass will require the preparation of the following materials:

  • glass degreaser;
  • clean rags;
  • a rope with a diameter of 4–5 millimeters and a length of at least 5 meters;
  • molding.

Installation consists of the following steps:

  1. We spread a soft cloth on the table to avoid scratches on the glass. We put new glass on it.
  2. We stretch the seal in the corners and then along all sides of the glass.

Many VAZ 2106 car owners tint the windshield and other windows of their car. The main goals pursued are the following:

  • reducing interior heating in summer;
  • retention of glass fragments on the film in the event of an accident;
  • protection of interior elements from damage under the influence of ultraviolet radiation;
  • reducing the likelihood of being blinded by reflections of snow or headlights of oncoming traffic.

Having decided to darken the windshield, the main thing you need to know is about the light transmittance, which for the body element in question should be at least 75%, and for the front side windows - 70%. Other glasses can be tinted at your discretion. From the required list of materials you will need:

  • shampoo;
  • pure water;
  • spray;
  • glass cleaner;
  • rubber spatula;
  • sharp blade, knife;
  • non-woven napkins.

Tinting is carried out in the following sequence:

    Clean and degrease the inner surface of the glass.

The rear window of the “six” is also a body element, through which rear visibility is provided, protecting the interior and the people inside from precipitation and other external influences. It is necessary to remove the part infrequently and this is done mainly for the purpose of replacing the sealing rubber, during repair work or replacing it with heated glass. The rear glass measures 1360 x 512 mm.

The sequence of work for removing the rear window is similar to the procedure with the wind element, but there are some features that we will consider in more detail:

    Use a screwdriver to pry out the elements in the lower corners of the seal.

The rear window is installed in the same way as the windshield.

The rear window is dimmed in the same sequence and using the same tools as the windshield. To make it easier to apply the tint film in bends, some car owners divide it into three longitudinal stripes.

The sixth model of the Zhiguli, although equipped with a heated rear window, was only of the last years of production. This option is not superfluous at all, since it allows you to get rid of glass fogging in damp and frosty weather, thereby improving visibility. Therefore, many owners of “sixes” strive to install such glass on their cars. For such a conversion you will need:

  • heated glass;
  • terminals - wide and bolt-on;
  • circuit breakers;
  • wires;
  • relay (PC527 or analogue) and a block for it;
  • screw;
  • rubber tubes;
  • on/off button.

Since glass heating consumes quite a large current, it is advisable to use the button from the indications, which will allow you to disable this function in a timely manner.

We install heated glass in the same way as regular glass, and then connect it as follows:

  1. Remove the negative terminal from the battery.
  2. We dismantle the instrument panel and embed a button into it.

Sometimes you can find classic Zhiguli cars with bars on the rear windows. Previously, this element was more popular, but even today some owners seek to install it on their cars. The main goals pursued when installing such a part are as follows:

  • glass becomes less dirty;
  • on sunny days the interior heats up less;
  • the likelihood of being blinded by traffic moving behind is reduced.

As for the shortcomings, they are also present and boil down to the problem of cleaning the glass in the corners from debris, dirt and snow. Installation of the grille consists of the following steps:

  1. We dismantle the glass.
  2. We place the grate under the seal.
  3. We thread the cord and install the glass in place.

On the sixth model of the Zhiguli, two windows are installed in the front doors - sliding and turning (window). The first of them has dimensions of 503 x 422 x 5 mm, the second - 346 x 255 x 5 mm. In most cases, the need to dismantle the glass of the front doors arises during the repair of the latter.

To remove the glass, you will need a slotted and Phillips screwdriver, as well as an open-end wrench for 8 and 10. The dismantling process itself is carried out in the following sequence:

    Remove the plastic plugs from the door armrest by prying them off with a flat-head screwdriver.

The sliding glass of the front and rear doors is sealed with special elements, the profile of which ensures ease of installation. To reduce friction, the seals are covered with a layer of fluff. When water seeps under the rubber, it flows into the bottom of the door and comes out through the drain holes. Over time, the pile wears off and the seal cracks, resulting in the need to replace the element.

The swing glass of the front door and the rear corner glass are sealed with rubber bands, which also become unusable as the rubber ages and bursts. To prevent water from leaking into the cabin, the seals are replaced with new ones after first dismantling the window and fixed glass.

To remove the tilt glass, follow these steps:

    We remove the upper sealing element from the door frame.

The main purpose of removing glass in the rear door of a "six" is to repair the door. The glazing is made of two elements - downward and fixed (corner). The first glass has dimensions of 543 x 429 x 5 mm, the second - 372 x 258 x 5 mm.

To remove the rear door glass, you will need the same tools as for working on the front door. The process itself is performed as follows:

    We dismantle the door trim, unscrew the fastening of the guides and remove them from the door.

Even with careful operation of the car, sometimes you have to deal with glass replacement. This especially applies to the frontal element. To replace car glass, you will need to prepare a minimum list of tools, familiarize yourself with the step-by-step actions and follow them during the repair.

Removal of the front and rear windshields on a VAZ 2106 car is carried out if they are replaced with new ones, during body work, for example, when painting a car or for tinting them. To remove the glass, we will need the help of an assistant, as well as a blanket or something like that, a screwdriver, and a piece of cord with a diameter of about 4-6 mm. and about 5 meters long.

If everything is there, then you can start repairing:

  • The first step in the car interior is to remove all the decorative interior parts that will interfere with us. First of all, these are decorative trims for the front side pillars, remove the interior rearview mirror (see Replacing rearview mirrors on a VAZ 2106), remove the sun visors, and remove the top decorative trim for the ceiling.

  • Now, starting from the upper right corner (if it’s convenient for you, you can do both at once), use a screwdriver to pry the edge of the seal and slide it behind the body flange and then manually press the seal while simultaneously pressing on the glass. When performing this operation, it is necessary to remove the upper corner of the glass together with the seal from the body opening and press the corner of the glass from the body from the inside.

  • From outside the car, pry the windshield frame (lock) with a screwdriver and remove it from the seal. Next, having previously bent the windshield wipers, you need to move the top and sides of the glass away from the body and remove the glass, placing it on the hood, with a blanket or any other material laid in advance.

Now that we have removed the front windshield, we need to:

  • Remove the rubber seal from it, starting from the middle. Check the seal for mechanical damage and, if necessary, replace it with a new one. Hardening of the rubber seal is also not allowed. We clean the seal and the edge of the glass from dirt and rust.

  • Locate and clean drainage holes in the seal.

We install a new windshield on a VAZ 2106 car. Follow the following sequence of actions:

  • Install the seal onto the new glass, starting from the bottom corners.
  • Next, take the previously prepared cord and insert it into the groove of the seal, which fits onto the flange in the body opening. By placing the cord in a circle, ensure that it overlaps with the opposite end by about 20 cm.

  • Dilute the soap solution and use a brush to generously coat the seal and the internal opening of the body where the glass will sit.
  • Together with a partner, install the glass back into the opening so that the seal groove at the point where the cord exits sits on the flange of the opening and the ends of the cord are located in the car interior.

After installing the front windshield in place, install all removed parts in the reverse order of removal.

The rear windshield is replaced in the same way, with the exception of some features:

  • The glass must be removed starting from the bottom corners.
  • Before removing the glass, in the lower corner, outside the car, you need to remove the trim trim using a screwdriver.

At this point, the repair work on removing and replacing the windshields of the VAZ 2106 has been completed.

Replacing the front windshield and rear windshield on a VAZ are, in principle, very similar processes. Why the glass is being replaced is completely clear. Let's look at what else glass removal can be used for. This process is carried out when it is necessary to tint these windows, or when body work is being carried out for which the glass is a hindrance (for example, painting).

To replace the front windshield and rear windshield we will need:

  • Assistant;
  • Unnecessary blanket or blanket;
  • Screwdriver;
  • a 5-meter piece of rope with a diameter of about 0.5 cm;

Having found all this, you can begin the repair process.

    We free the interior from absolutely all interfering decorative interior details. The front side pillar trims are removed first. Then we dismantle the internal rear view mirror, also remove the sun visors and the decorative trim on the ceiling;

Use a screwdriver to pry up the edge of the seal and push it past the body flange. Then, maintaining constant uniform pressure on the glass, squeeze out the seal. In this process, you need to gradually move the corner of the glass (top, of course) along with the seal outside the body;

Once you have inserted the cord around the entire perimeter, pay attention to whether one end overlaps the other. It is necessary that such an overlap be at least 20 cm;

After the glass is installed, reinstall all removed parts in the reverse order of removal.

Now let's talk about replacing the rear windshield. It changes in exactly the same way as the front one, but it must be removed starting from the lower corners.

In addition, before removing the glass, you need to remove the trim trim. It is located in the lower corners and can be easily removed by prying it off with a screwdriver.

This completes the replacement of the front windshield and rear windshield. If you have basic skills and an intelligent assistant, it will not take much of your time and effort.

At this point, the repair work to replace the front windshield and rear windshield of the VAZ 2106 has been completed.

The windshield of the VAZ 2106 is the most vulnerable of all car glazing, so it is necessary to resort to replacing it most often. Even a small chip caused by a pebble or a thorn can spread over time and form a crack over the entire area, making replacement unavoidable. The procedure for replacing a windshield is not complicated and you can do it yourself with only a couple of flat-head screwdrivers on hand. It is advisable to have a large size so that the pickup area is larger. I used drums as they are quite wide and perfect for this repair:

First of all, you need to pry the “lock” from the bottom center of the elastic band and remove it, and then use a screwdriver to pry off the edging:

And then we pull it with our hand, removing the edging along the entire perimeter of the glass:

Now about the dismantling process. I personally performed this operation several times and started prying it off from the upper left corner. First, insert one screwdriver so that the sealing rubber disengages from the body from the inside.

Then, from the inside, gently pressing on the edge of the elastic with a screwdriver, push it outward in small sections (approximately 1 cm):

To avoid problems, you need to free half of the glass from the inside from the rubber band, that is, push it out, as shown in the photo above. That is, from above we reach somewhere to the rear view mirror, and from below, respectively, to the middle of the instrument panel. After this, we pry up part of the windshield from the outside and carefully pull it towards us, slowly loosening it from side to side. Please note that there should not be much effort. If the glass does not give in, then you do not need to use much force; it is better to remove the rubber a few centimeters at a time.

The glass is removed along with the rubber band and after that you can install a new one in its original place.

If you buy a new one, you can buy a VAZ 2106 from the factory, produced by BOR, at a price of 1200 rubles or 1500 rubles. with a black stripe at the top. Installation is carried out in the reverse order and it is also necessary to act with extreme caution so as not to damage the glass.

Removal of the front and rear windshields on a VAZ 2106 car is carried out if they are replaced with new ones, during body work, for example, when painting a car or for tinting them. To remove the glass, we will need the help of an assistant, as well as a blanket or something like that, a screwdriver, and a piece of cord with a diameter of about 4-6mm. and about 5 meters long.

If everything is there, then you can start repairing:

  • The first step in the car interior is to remove all the decorative interior parts that will interfere with us. First of all, these are decorative trims for the front side pillars, remove the interior rearview mirror (see Replacing rearview mirrors on a VAZ 2106), remove the sun visors, and remove the top decorative trim for the ceiling.

  • Now, starting from the upper right corner (if it’s convenient for you, you can do both at once), use a screwdriver to pry the edge of the seal and slide it behind the body flange and then manually press the seal while simultaneously pressing on the glass. When performing this operation, it is necessary to remove the upper corner of the glass together with the seal from the body opening and press the corner of the glass from the body from the inside.

  • From outside the car, pry the windshield frame (lock) with a screwdriver and remove it from the seal. Next, having previously bent the windshield wipers, you need to move the top and sides of the glass away from the body and remove the glass, placing it on the hood, with a blanket or any other material previously laid down.

Now that we have removed the front windshield, we need to:

  • Remove the rubber seal from it, starting from the middle. Check the seal for mechanical damage and, if necessary, replace it with a new one. Hardening of the rubber seal is also not allowed. We clean the seal and the edge of the glass from dirt and rust.
  • Check and, if necessary, clean the seal grooves from dirt, sealant and other debris.
  • Locate and clean drainage holes in the seal.

We install a new windshield on a VAZ 2106 car. Follow the following sequence of actions:

  • Install the seal onto the new glass, starting from the bottom corners.
  • Next, take the previously prepared cord and insert it into the groove of the seal, which fits onto the flange in the body opening. By inserting the cord in a circle, ensure that it overlaps with the opposite end by about 20 cm.

  • Dilute the soap solution and use a brush to generously coat the seal and the internal opening of the body where the glass will sit.
  • Together with a partner, install the glass back into the opening so that the seal groove at the point where the cord exits sits on the flange of the opening and the ends of the cord are located in the car interior.
  • Now one person remains in the cabin and slowly begins to pull the cord so that the edge of the seal goes beyond the flange of the opening; if the edge does not go, then pry it off with a screwdriver, and an assistant, from outside the car, lightly taps on the glass in the place where you pull The cord puts a little pressure on the glass, thereby setting it in place.

After installing the front windshield in place, install all removed parts in the reverse order of removal.

The rear windshield is replaced in the same way, with the exception of some features:

  • The glass must be removed starting from the bottom corners.
  • Before removing the glass, in the lower corner, from the outside of the car, it is necessary to remove the trim trim using a screwdriver.

Rear window

The rear window of the “six” is also a body element, through which rear visibility is provided, protecting the interior and the people inside from precipitation and other external influences. It is necessary to remove the part infrequently and this is done mainly for the purpose of replacing the sealing rubber, during repair work or replacing it with heated glass. The rear glass measures 1360 x 512 mm.

How to remove glass

The sequence of work for removing the rear window is similar to the procedure with the wind element, but there are some features that we will consider in more detail:

  1. Use a screwdriver to pry out the elements in the lower corners of the seal.

The rear window is installed in the same way as the windshield.

Rear window tinting

The rear window is dimmed in the same sequence and using the same tools as the windshield. To make it easier to apply the tint film in bends, some car owners divide it into three longitudinal stripes.

Heated rear window

The sixth model of the Zhiguli, although equipped with a heated rear window, was only of the last years of production. This option is not superfluous at all, since it allows you to get rid of glass fogging in damp and frosty weather, thereby improving visibility. Therefore, many owners of “sixes” strive to install such glass on their cars. For such a conversion you will need:

  • heated glass;
  • terminals - wide and bolt-on;
  • circuit breakers;
  • wires;
  • relay (PC527 or analogue) and a block for it;
  • screw;
  • rubber tubes;
  • on/off button.

We install heated glass in the same way as regular glass, and then connect it as follows:

  1. Remove the negative terminal from the battery.
  2. We dismantle the instrument panel and embed a button into it.

Rear window grille

Sometimes you can find classic Zhiguli cars with bars on the rear windows. Previously, this element was more popular, but even today some owners seek to install it on their cars. The main goals pursued when installing such a part are as follows:

  • glass becomes less dirty;
  • on sunny days the interior heats up less;
  • the likelihood of being blinded by traffic moving behind is reduced.

As for the shortcomings, they are also present and boil down to the problem of cleaning the glass in the corners from debris, dirt and snow. Installation of the grille consists of the following steps:

  1. We dismantle the glass.
  2. We place the grate under the seal.
  3. We thread the cord and install the glass in place.
