27.06.2022 /

With the advent of the autumn-winter period, the driver faces many problems: checking the technical condition of the engine, switching to winter tires, protecting the body from corrosion. But the most important task is to ensure good visibility. Snow, rain, slush - all this settles on the windshield, and if the wipers do not cope with cleaning, then the ride turns into a continuous torment.

Owners of cars of the VAZ family can choose from a wide range of wiper blades. Along with the classic frame wipers, frameless wipers are in great demand today, which practically do not freeze to the glass. In order for the brush to clean the glass surface well, it is made of graphite-based frost-resistant rubber.

It is also important to choose the right size of brushes. If you pick up brushes of a larger or smaller size, this can lead to the fact that they will cling to each other, knock on the racks, and unclean stripes will remain on the glass. Sizing information is indicated in the catalog.

Let's try to figure out what size of the wiper blade is needed for a particular VAZ model.

Model range VAZ

Zhiguli - VAZ 2101 - VAZ (LADA) 2107

Zhiguli is the first name that many still use. This generation is considered to be a VAZ classic. Compact sedans and station wagons were produced with rear-wheel drive, and the visual difference between these models was in the form of headlights: round (VAZ 2101 and 2102), twin (2103, 2106), rectangular (2104, 2105, 2107).

The dimensions of the windshield and rear window are the same for all these models, the recommended size of the wiper blades on both the driver's and passenger's sides is 330 millimeters. However, as many motorists note, larger brushes of 350 millimeters are quite suitable here.

All dimensions shown are manufacturer's recommendations. Although there are some variations on the size of the windshield cleaning brushes.

What to look for when choosing wiper blades?

First of all, you need to pay attention to the following factors:

  • compliance of sizes with the requirements of the manufacturer, although it is possible to deviate slightly from the standard sizes;
  • mounting versatility;
  • quality of materials;
  • price category.

The brush is pressed against the glass with a certain force, respectively, if you choose larger brushes, the cleaning quality will deteriorate. You can choose the right size brush with the help of catalogs produced by manufacturers. The easiest way is to measure your installed wipers with a tape measure. In addition, the packaging indicates which models this brush is suitable for. If you have original brushes installed, which are problematic to find on sale, then you can simply change the rubber blade itself.

It often happens that the area of ​​glass cleaned with brushes does not provide a normal field of view. This is especially noticeable on older vehicles. In this case, you can install a larger brush on the driver's side, and a smaller one on the passenger side. This is how you can remove a strip of water - “snot”, which constantly flows down from above.

Pay special attention to adapters - fasteners for attaching the brush to the windshield wiper leash. The most common type of fastening is Hook (hook). Not all manufacturers produce brushes that would fit VAZ mounts. In this case, you need to look for additional adapters in the kit.

The quality of the tape is the main component of a good windshield wiper blade. High-quality tape goes without burrs and irregularities. It has a uniform color and texture. Graphite, silicone and Teflon tapes can last much longer, but at the same time they are quite expensive.
