We glue glass when replacing it, losing the tightness of the adhesive seam, or straightening a damaged body.
Cutting and gluing all glass is done in the same way, so we will consider in detail only the operation of replacing the rear window. We remove the rear pillar linings in the cabin (see the article - “How to remove the roof lining of a VAZ-2110 car”).

We pry it with a screwdriver and remove three pistons securing the two corner panels to the side posts.

Inside, use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew two plastic nuts securing each panel to the rear pillars.

Remove the corner panels.

Disconnect the wires from the glass heating element.

Removing the glass trim

Remove the trunk lid.

Remove the trunk seal.

To cut glass, you need to make a hole in the glue seam to pass the string through it.

To do this, we pierce the adhesive seam with steel wire...

...or make a cut with a string in the lower corner of the glass.

We pass a string through the hole and attach holders to its ends.

Having sawed the adhesive seam around the entire perimeter with a string, we remove the glass.

When subjected to a strong impact, the tempered rear window shatters into small fragments (for example, as a result of an accident).

In this case, before gluing in the new glass, you need to clean the opening from fragments and cut off the old adhesive seam with the remaining glass.

We cut off the old glue seam with a sharp knife, leaving a layer 1-2 mm thick.

To glue glass, you need a kit that includes a tube with glue, a degreaser and a primer (primer), as well as a “gun” for squeezing the glue out of the tube.

We degrease the edge of the glass at the place where the glue is applied and the window opening along the entire perimeter

How to change the rear window on a VAZ 2110

On a VAZ 2110, replacing the rear window in VAZ cars of the tenth family is not a very difficult task and will take about 1 hour. If you follow the technology, the result will not disappoint, but you need to know this technology and not deviate from it. After all, replacing the rear window of a VAZ 2110 is a procedure that is associated with a power element of the body (increases the torsional rigidity of the body) and its incorrect gluing (the glass is attached by gluing into the opening) is fraught not only with water leaks into the cabin, but also with deterioration in handling.

What you need to prepare

First, you need to purchase a windshield that fits the size. It is selected for VAZ according to article number 21105206016. You can find original or similar ones in stores. If you are looking for a reference glass to replace, then just know its article number - the store will select a suitable option for you. You can buy one of the models:

4503AGSBL – (XYG) with a stripe at the top, cost – about 3 thousand rubles;
4503AGNBL10 – (BOR) Overtinted with a darkened stripe for 5 thousand;
4503AGS - (BOR) Overtinted without a stripe, but also with UV protection - priced at 3 thousand;
2110-5206016 – AGS (BSZ) – classic, transparent for 5 thousand.

If none of the listed glasses are in the store’s assortment, then select the appropriate one according to the standard dimensions: 1428 × 862 × 5 mm. According to them, it is not difficult to make it to order in specialized workshops. In this case, you can choose the degree of tint and width of the stripe individually.

In addition to a new windshield, you will need:

gluing kit;
linings (seals);
string with two handles for dismantling;
White Spirit;
activator and primer.

You will also need to have a tool for removing old glue, fine-grit sandpaper. It's good to have your own set of suction cups on hand for installing optics, they will make your job easier.

In one hour, if you have the appropriate skills and tools, you can replace the rear window on a VAZ 2110 car. Otherwise, you should contact professionals who know how to correctly and effectively change the rear window and windshield.

Do-it-yourself glass replacement.

Before you begin directly replacing the glass, you need to prepare all the necessary tools and materials. You will need: a new rear window, glue, new rubber for the glass, string to cut out the old glass, tools to hold the glass, tools to clean the opening, solvent, tape. In addition, it is recommended to carry out all work in a well-lit room with a partner. This will ensure high-quality and prompt replacement of glass.

— When everything is prepared, you need to proceed to the immediate removal of the old glass. To do this, you need to cut the glue between the glass and the opening using a special tool.

“Then you can remove the old rubber and clean the surface of any glue residue.

— It is very important to completely clean off all remaining adhesive and old rubber so that the new rear window can be easily installed.

— To ensure the durability and strength of the rear window, you need to carefully and responsibly approach the preparatory work.

— Using sandpaper, remove all traces of rust and old glue from the surface. In addition, you need to degrease the surface using a special solution.

— When all the preparatory work is completed, we begin processing the new rear window. To do this, you need to secure it with a special holder and put a new rubber seal on it.

— You also need to prepare the tape for quick use.

— It is recommended to apply a special primer before inserting the glass. This will ensure durability and avoid rust.

— Now you can apply special glue to the surface of the glass, as well as into the mounting holes for reliable fixation. Then you can put the glass in place.

— When the glass is installed in its place, for proper fixation you need to use tape and cover the joints with it.

— It is recommended to keep the glass in this form for a day, and then remove all remnants of the tape.

— It is also recommended not to use an intensive car wash, so as not to damage the new installed glass.

DIY replacement

Replacing the rear window on a VAZ 2110

Even if you trust professionals, it is useful to know how to make a replacement in order to eliminate possible defects when accepting the work performed. In addition, the saying “if you want to do it well, do it yourself” is still relevant. And it’s always nice to look at work done yourself, especially if it’s done well.

The first part of the work

To replace the rear window we will need:

Directly new rear window.
Adhesive composition.
A string for cutting out old glass (if the glass is left in the opening and is also not included with glue)
New rubber seal for the perimeter of the glass.
A tool that holds the glass (usually these are two kind of suction cups connected by a handle; two such holders are needed).
Tool for cleaning the opening - knife, sandpaper.
Scotch.
Degreasing solvent (may be included with adhesive).
A warm and well-lit place to work.
Assistant (you can do it alone, but it will be quite inconvenient and will take much more time).

Note. The best glue is a two-component one (the so-called “prime” is applied before applying the glue itself) and with sufficient components. It is useful to have a solvent and a special string (with handles) for cutting out old glass, if necessary.

Replacing the rear glass of a VAZ 2110

Next you need to remove the old glass. If it is badly broken or missing altogether, then there is no problem, but if replacing the glass is due to only a crack, then you will have to work. Here we need a steel string to cut through the glue between the opening and the glass, as well as an assistant, because It is necessary to work with the string both inside the car and outside. So let's get started:

Disconnect the rear window heating contacts (if there is one).
Remove the old rubber seal from the glass.
Between the glass and the opening, piercing the old glue, we stretch a steel string. Then we attach the handles to it.
With the help of an assistant, using the string as a knife, we cut through the entire perimeter of the glass. You must act carefully so as not to damage the paintwork of the body, otherwise you will also have to carry out body repairs.
We remove the old glass. This can be conveniently done using a special tool for holding glass.

Note. If trim elements on the inside of the rear window interfere with the use of the string, then they must be removed so as not to damage them (for example, the third brake light, if installed on the rear window or close to it). It is better to carry out an inspection before starting work.

The first part of the work has been completed, now it is necessary to prepare the opening for gluing in the new rear window. These works must be approached with the utmost care, because... this will directly affect the final result and durability.

Replacing the rear window of a VAZ (Lada) 2112

Car glass from Carboys for VAZ (Lada) 2112 is a guarantee of quality and low price. Contact us!

Even the most careful owner of such a car may need to replace the rear window of a VAZ (Lada) 2112. Most often, the replacement of the rear window occurs due to its breakage by ill-wishers. On most cars, the rear window is stalinite (tempered glass), therefore, unlike triplex (windshield), it does not form a crack, but crumbles into small fragments. If you want confidence in the result, we recommend that you do not try to replace it yourself, but replace the rear window with a Lada 2112.

Specialists cope with this task in 1.5 hours. Replacing the rear window of a VAZ (Lada) 2112 is in general similar to replacing the windshield; the main differences are that it is necessary to disassemble the door trim or side pillars in order to vacuum the interior, trunk, or fifth door (if it is a hatchback or station wagon) from debris ), as well as for connecting electric heating. The old glue is cleaned with glass residues, the interior is finally vacuumed to remove splinters, the frame is degreased, and primed with high-quality primer. At the same time, the glass is prepared (degreasing, priming, and applying glue). Assembly after gluing will take another 15 minutes, and you’re good to go.

Restrictions on car operation vary from person to person, but in most cases two conditions must be met: do not wash the car with high-pressure equipment for 24 hours and do not open the side windows at speeds above 20 km/h, also for 24 hours. Prices for replacing rear car windows of a VAZ (Lada) 2112 are affordable and depend on the selected product and its characteristics.

If you need to install a rear window in a VAZ (Lada) 2112 while traveling around Moscow, contact the CARBOYS specialists. Our phones: +7 and. We also invite you to visit us. Our address: st. Puteyskaya, 21.

Replacement features

During the first 3-4 hours of drying the glue, before its polymerization has yet occurred, you should absolutely not move the car or open or close the doors. Full strength of the adhesive layer occurs only 5-6 days after installation.

All work on installing the windshield must be carried out in a closed workshop or garage. If dirt or dust gets into the adhesive joint, it will negatively affect its tightness.

Windshield replacement is carried out at temperatures of 15° C and above. At a lower temperature, the glue will harden more slowly and less efficiently.

When purchasing materials and equipment needed for work, you must remember: their cost is not the main thing. The main thing is high-quality components and strict adherence to installation technology, which guarantees long and trouble-free operation of the windshield.

What is this?

By rear window, motorists and service station technicians understand a transparent shield that is installed in the rear of the car’s cabin, above the trunk lid. The product protects rear seat passengers from dust, dirt, and cold air currents. The shield provides good illumination in the cabin.

Most often you have to replace the front windshield. But the rear product can also fail. There are many reasons for this:

The appearance of a crack due to poor quality.
The presence of chips and scratches as a result of careless use.
Breakdown due to hail, falling tree.
Destruction by vandals.

You may need to purchase rear auto glass for a VAZ 2110 in the following cases:

Damage to the old product.
Presence of a manufacturing defect.
The desire to install a structure with tinting and heating.

Installation

We install the glass and all previously removed parts on the car in reverse order.

The condition of roads in Russia has dropped below zero. This is the reason for frequent accidents on the road, car breakdowns every two years, as well as cracking glass. One small pebble thrown out from under the wheels of an oncoming car, and you already need to go to a car service center.

Replacing a windshield on a VAZ 2110 at a car service center will cost from 1,500 to 6,000 rubles. The price practically does not depend on the model; the costs of installing the shield on a VAZ 2112 do not differ significantly. Few people want to spend that amount twice a year, so car owners prefer to replace the damaged part themselves.

Installing a new windshield

Before gluing and installation, it is necessary to prepare the surface by cleaning it from traces of glue and other unnecessary residues.

The layer of old glue is not completely cut off. I recommend leaving a small even layer on the frame to improve grip.
Carefully clean all glass joints from glue crumbs, dust, sand, etc.
Treat the frame opening with an activator.
The new windshield of the VAZ 2110 must be carefully cleaned of dust, then everything should be properly degreased.
Take the windshield and place it upside down, then put on the molding; if it does not fit tightly, secure it using tape.
Now turn the glass over and walk along the edge on which the activator will be applied - white spirit.
Using a swab soaked in primer, mark a strip where the adhesive will be applied along the entire length of the molding.
All the same actions must be done in relation to the opening of the glass frame, after which leave the surface to dry for 10-15 minutes.
We begin installing the windshield of the VAZ 2110. Load the heated glue into the gun, then slowly, carefully apply the glue to the surface approximately 1 cm thick.

Important! If you do not have special suction cups that are used to pick up glass, then it is better to apply glue not to the glass, but to the frame itself. Practice all subsequent steps to install the windshield on the first try.

Removing old glass

Replacing the windshield of a VAZ 2110 with your own hands is carried out by dismantling the old one.

Completing this process will require the following equipment:

Glue-in kit New front glass

String with two handles

Primer and activator

White Spirit

Tools for removing and installing glass are prepared. Now you need to prepare the glass for cutting.

Remove the wipers and frill.
Remove the plugs and fasteners.
There are 2 nuts on each edge of the ventilation grille under the hood, unscrew them.
Start removing the rubber gasket through the engine compartment. After this, unscrew the screws connecting the sound insulation and the windshield seal.
Pull out the seal together with the lock, which is located in the center.
Under the frill there is a washer hose and a clamp. Cut them in an inconspicuous but easily accessible place. In the future, an adapter will be installed in place of the cut.
Once the seal is not holding anything in place, remove it.
Take out the decorative part – the molding.

Nothing else interferes with removing the windshield of a VAZ 2110. You can start dismantling it. Replacing a 2110 windshield is done better with someone's help.

One person is in the cabin, the second is outside. Push the end of the string inside the cabin, the second remains outside.

The person in the cabin must hold the string at an angle towards the cut. The one on the outside begins sawing, leading the wire around the perimeter of the windshield, bringing the end slightly up.

At the end of the process, the glass must be carefully removed.

If the windshield is damaged and requires replacement, then this procedure must be carried out in accordance with the algorithm, which includes dismantling, preparatory work and installation of a new product. It is better to replace the windshield yourself with two people. In this case, one person should be outside the car, and the second should sit inside and “accept” the glass when it comes to installation, or push it out when dismantling work is required.

The windshield is considered one of the most unprotected elements of a car.

In this way, you can increase the accuracy of each procedure and eliminate damage to the paintwork, as well as damage to the new windshield due to negligence. Before its installation, it is mandatory to carry out preparatory work. In this case, you should adhere to the following algorithm:

Remove old and heavily dried adhesive that was previously used to hold the old windshield in place.
If necessary, remove rust that has formed under the layer of old glue. To do this, it is better to use sandpaper or other available materials.
Apply a primer to the area that has been cleaned to bare metal and intended for installation of new glass. This procedure should be given special attention; moreover, experts recommend not completely removing the old glue, but leaving a thin layer. In the future, it will help the new composition to better adhere to the surface.
Degrease the prepared surface.
Treat the edge of the new glass, and after the white spirit has completely dried, apply the activator. This will ensure that your new windshield will adhere more effectively in the future.

Before applying the adhesive composition, it must be warmed up. This procedure will make the glue softer and make it easier to handle. After the new glass has been installed, it is forbidden to move the vehicle until the glue has completely dried; moreover, for 2-3 hours it is forbidden to open or close the doors, as well as the hood and trunk.

Do not forget that the adhesive joint will reach maximum strength only 5–6 days after completion of installation work. It is noteworthy that it is recommended to perform the windshield replacement procedure at a temperature of +15 degrees and above. Otherwise, the glue will take much longer to harden.

To make the replacement process more convenient, it is recommended to open the hood slightly and also lower the front door windows. During installation, you need to place the bottom part of the glass on the frame and carefully lower it onto the surface that has been treated with adhesive.

Materials and tools

In order for the procedure for replacing a damaged windshield to be successful and as quickly as possible, you need to prepare certain tools and materials in advance. For dismantling and installation you will need:

The adhesive composition, which must be selected depending on the characteristics of the windshield, as well as the mounting surface. The best solution would be to use two-component types of glue, since they are specialized and are characterized by an affordable cost.
New windshield. Before installing it, you need to make sure that the glass is the perfect size. Inconsistencies are likely to result in reduced bonding effectiveness, regardless of the adhesive used.
The string needed to cut off an old windshield. It is its use that allows you to avoid damage to the car body during dismantling work. You need to choose a string depending on the size and individual characteristics of the glass. Consulting with experts on this issue is the best solution. For ease of use, the string is equipped with special handles that allow you to tighten the cutting edge and effectively cut old glue.
Suckers. It is almost impossible to carry out the work without special suction cups. They make it possible to reliably hold the windshield at all stages of work. Thanks to this, the risk of accidental falls and the appearance of scratches and chips due to impacts caused by negligence is almost completely eliminated.
Activator. Its use allows you to increase the adhesive properties several times. Thanks to this, in the future it will be possible to apply a primer or adhesive composition much more efficiently to the surface treated with the activator.
White Spirit. It plays the role of a solvent, with which you can effectively degrease the surface of the glass, as well as the places where it will be installed. The use of white spirit requires some experience, since such a solvent can cause significant harm to the health of a person who inadvertently inhaled its vapors or allowed it to come into contact with the skin or eyes.

How to remove and install glass on the doors of a VAZ 2110.

1. You need to remove the door trim.

2. Remove the lower seal

3. Raise or lower the glass to unscrew the bolts securing the glass frame. You need to unscrew the 2 bolts securing the glass frame to the window lifter slider.

4. Holding the glass with one hand, lower the window slider down.

5. Lift the back of the glass to remove the glass from the front door.

6. Using the front part, lift it out of the rear door.

7. The glass is installed back into the door in the reverse order. The main thing is to make sure that it fits into the guides on both sides of the door. And you need to check the ease of moving the glass.

Video on the topic:

On cars of the tenth family, such as VAZ 2110, 2111 and 2112, front and rear windows are installed using special glue. Accordingly, if you need to replace or remove it, you will have to cut off the glue along the entire perimeter. To perform this procedure you will need the following tool:

String for cutting car glass
String holders (sold as a set)
Special knife and awl

In a regular auto parts store you can buy a special string for cutting glass, but you will have to order a set of the necessary tools separately. To show the entire work process in more detail, I recorded another review on this topic. Below is a brief description of the procedure:

Remove all moldings and rubber bands that may interfere with the work
Using the awl from the kit, thread the string through the glue from the outside into the interior
Install the handles to the ends of the string
Cut off the glue along the entire perimeter of the junction of the glass and the body

As I already said, I performed this procedure for the first time, so I had to spend a little extra string, time and nerves. As for installing new glass, unfortunately, I didn’t do this, so I can’t show everything clearly.

But judging by the experience of some masters, this work is quite simple. The main thing is to apply an even layer of glue over the entire area and install the rear window in place. If I ever have the opportunity to record such a repair on video, I will definitely do it!
