Replacing the windshield VAZ 2110, 2111 and 2112

The windshield is the most vulnerable glass in a car and has to be replaced most often. This has to be done for various reasons:

• getting into an accident when cracks appear from the impact that are unacceptable for normal operation
• hitting stones, gravel, spikes from winter tires when overtaking other cars or from the oncoming
• hitting a car in strong potholes and pits on the road, as a result of which a crack can form from the fact that the body has shifted
• chips, cracks, all kinds of abrasions that interfere with daily use

If earlier, on old VAZ cars of the “classic” family, the windshield could be replaced without any problems, because it sat on the rubber band and that’s it, now everything is not so simple. In order to replace the glass on the VAZ 2110, 2111 and 2112, you will need to perform at least the following steps:

• prepare the necessary cutting and gluing tools
• cut off old damaged glass
• paste in a new windshield
• wait a few hours until the glue dries and properly fixes the windshield in the body

A necessary tool for replacing a windshield on a VAZ 2110, 2111 and 2112

The first thing to note is the cutting tool:

1. String Holders
2. Awl for threading a string through glue
3. String - about 1 meter will be enough

Now about the installation:

1. Solvent
2. Клей

Replacing the windshield with your own hands on a VAZ 2110-2112

So, before proceeding with the replacement, of course, it is necessary to cut off the old one. For this, there are special sets, which were described above. They consist of a string, holders and an awl.

Before proceeding with cutting, it is necessary to remove the side pillar covers from the passenger compartment, and also unscrew and slightly detach the front part of the headliner. This is necessary in order not to damage the upholstery with a string.

After that, from the outside, remove the sealing rubber along the entire length. The frill, of course, also needs to be removed.

After that, we pass the string from the inside to the outside using a special awl.

Now we thread the string into the holders and you can start cutting. Of course, it is most convenient to do this together, but even alone you can cope with it.

When the glass on the VAZ 2110 is cut off around the entire perimeter, it must be carefully removed from the car using special suction cups-pullers. If those are not available, then you can do everything by hand, but very carefully.

As for the installation of new glass, everything should also be done carefully and slowly. Before installing a new windshield, it is necessary to remove the remnants of the old glue, remove dust and rust particles so that the contact point is clean and even.

After that, we put on a new seal and, using the suction cups, we install the glass in the body opening, having previously applied glue to it.

But here, of course, it is advisable to work as an assistant:

To temporarily fix the glass in a stationary state, you can use tape. Also, it should be borne in mind that after installing a new windshield on the VAZ 2110, you should not open and close the doors, creating vibrations in the body or excessive air flow in the car. This can cause the glass to come loose from the glue and have to do everything again.

In order for the glass to be securely fixed in the body opening, it is worth waiting at least 12 hours before starting operation, and preferably at least 24 hours! If you are not confident in your abilities, it is better to entrust this repair to professionals.

The price of new glass for VAZ 2110, 2111 and 2112 can range from 1800 to 3800 rubles. The cost depends on the manufacturer, as well as on the number of layers of protection (double or triple thermal). The highest quality glass can be considered our manufacturer of auto glass BOR.
