Grante window lifter replacement

The main reason why you have to replace the electric window on the Lada Grant car is the failure of the motor itself. Less often, the structure of the mechanism itself fails, but it also happens. So, to replace the front power window assembly, we need the following tool:

  • 10 mm head
  •  rattle or collar
  • 8 mm head
  • flat blade screwdriver

So, first of all, you need to perform several preparatory moments, without which it is impossible to get to the structure itself.

  1. Remove the front door trim
  2. Remove the bolts securing the glass to the lift bar
  3. Disconnect the power wires from the power window motor

Next, we perform the following actions. Using a 10 mm head, unscrew all the nuts securing the trapezoid to the door. They are clearly shown in the photo below.

There are 11 such nuts in total.

When everything has been unscrewed, lightly press on each of the pins of the lift so that it moves inward.

Further, it is already possible, by simple manipulations with the trapezoid, to pull it out along with the motor.

We pass the motor through the same hole in the door and take out the rest of the Grants window lifter, as shown clearly below.

If you have any questions about further repairs or replacing the motor itself, then in the video review below everything will be shown and told in detail.

Since the doors of Lada Kalina and Granta cars are no different in their design, except for door trims, the procedure for replacing power windows will not differ.

I hope that after looking at the questions about this repair, no one has left. The price of a new power window for a Lada Grant car is about 1800 for one front. Of course, you can buy cheaper at a car dismantling station, giving no more than 1000 rubles, and the quality is even higher than from the store!
