Gluing the rear (fifth) door. — Logbook Chevrolet Niva “Project N” 2013 on DRIVE2

A little background. I already had experience in car sizing. I glued my VAZ 2113 back in 2009 (but never finished it). True, then the materials were different and the effect from them was not so good. But at that moment I didn’t know this. For a very long time I did not recognize self-adhesive vibration material, preferring hair dryer.

But as you know, progress does not stand still! When I bought a Chevrolet NIVA, I planned to tape only the trunk and front doors (while listening to music). At that time, I was already familiar with the professionals in their field, “Bass Zone,” and I planned to entrust my car to them. Friends who know me well dissuaded me from this idea, citing the fact that I would have to redo everything later anyway.

In general, I decided to glue it myself and not stop at the doors with the trunk. After talking with a person very competent in noise and vibration insulation, I realized that I knew absolutely nothing. He helped me a lot with the selection and amount of material needed for the entire car. He also told a lot, explained and gave a lot of practical advice. The material was chosen by “Shumoff”.

I started with the back (fifth) door.

Having dismantled the door, I was slightly horrified by what I saw. The wires hung like snot and were practically not secured.

Got the wiring in order. Material: fabric insulating tape “tesa”, reinforced tape “tesa” and “Shumoff”Specific.

And I started gluing the inside of the door. The first layer was glued with vibration-absorbing, multi-layer, self-adhesive material “Mix F” with a thickness of 4.5 mm. I tried to cover as much of the inside of the door as possible. This was very difficult due to the welded spare wheel mounting amplifier.

note

Next, on top of the vibration-absorbing material, I glued self-adhesive noise-absorbing material “Comfort 6” with a thickness of 6 mm.

Then it was the turn of the outer part of the door; the first step was to close the technological holes. I used sheet aluminum 0.4 mm thick. and “Mix F” for small holes. The aluminum was secured using double-sided, self-adhesive “tesa” mounting tape.

On top of the plugged technological holes, I glued vibration-absorbing material “M3” with a thickness of 3 mm. “Comfort 3” (self-adhesive sealing material) was glued along the perimeter of the lower part of the door, where the trim fits.

The skin was degreased and glued with self-adhesive relief material “Germeton A15” 15 mm thick. Do not forget to degrease the surface before each material! I inserted clips into the trim and assembled the door. I was very pleased with the result, the sound of the door when closing became dull, and I began to make less effort to close the door. The door became heavier, but not by much.

I once stopped by the studio to visit a person competent in noise and vibration insulation, drink tea, and talk about the work done. To which he says to me: “Well, let’s go see what you stuck there.” He immediately pointed out all the disadvantages to me. He also pointed out the unrolled material, but I said that it was rolled and explained how I did it.

At the next meeting, I took with me a mock-up, in the form of two pieces of vibration material glued and rolled onto the glass in two different ways (one with a roller, and the other with mine). After looking and turning the layout in my hands, I received the answer that both materials were well rolled. An attempt to peel off the material failed; only the foil came off.

“Of course, your version of rolling for car audio is better, since it preserves the entire relief of the material and subsequently refracts (rather than reflects) the sound and dampens it in sound insulation. It’s just that your method takes a long time, and the roller saves a lot of time. Well done, it’s nice to see when people develop and don’t stand still doing everything according to a template.”

Keeping in mind the shortcomings and the indicated disadvantages that haunted me. Namely, this is not a weighted door trim, not glued plastic, lack of a plastic seal and poor fixation of the wiring. I decided to fix everything.

While disassembling the door, there was a slight misfortune: several fasteners came off the trim, and the trim itself was torn (Having visited all the auto shops and car markets in Samara, the original trim was never found, so I had to order it.

I started gluing the plastic.

Important

The first layer was self-adhesive vibration-absorbing material “M2” with a thickness of 2 mm. In the places where the plastic contacts each other, I pasted “Comfort 3”.

The second layer was applied with self-adhesive sealing material “Bitolon 5” 5 mm thick.

“Comfort 3” was glued around the perimeter of the door, in the areas where the trim and plastic parts meet. Also, using reinforced tape “tesa”, the wiring was completely fixed. To more securely fix the casing, new clips were purchased, consisting of two parts. Once I pick it up and glue the casing, I’ll add a photo.

Finally, I took the factory trim of the fifth door. As I wrote earlier, I was unable to find the original skin (Once while talking to a friend on the phone who works at F-Design, I shared with him my unsuccessful search for the skin.

To which he answered me: “It’s not surprising, because a manufacturer working with a plant will never be distracted by small retail sales. Since the company is working at the limit and has difficulty coping with the large volumes of the plant, and also the deadlines.” After which he promised to help me. A month of waiting and I took the casing. I was very surprised by her new performance.

It's nice to know that the plant is constantly improving the quality of its products by replacing components with better ones.

In general, you can see the difference in the photo.

Old casing that I ruined during disassembly. As you can see in the photo, the places for attaching the clips are set on some kind of hot-melt adhesive. And as practice shows, the fastening is not very reliable.

New casing. The clip fastenings are built into the skin itself at the initial stage of its production. Added weather stripping and stronger reinforcement to the top right side. I started gluing the casing.

Advice

I removed the sticker and degreased the entire surface. Then, I glued self-adhesive vibration-absorbing material “M2” with a thickness of 2 mm.

Self-adhesive noise-absorbing material “Germeton 7” was glued on top of the vibration. After which I had difficulty assembling the door.

glued door assembly

When installing the trim, I was very upset by the vaunted two-part clips! It is almost impossible to get them into the holes.

I had to target each one and after I made sure that all the clips matched, I began to drive them in, and they broke (In the end, all the clips broke. By the way, they cost ten times more than regular ones, but in reality they are simply terrible.

The back door of the Niva Chevrolet does not open, what should I do?

The four-door body of the Niva Chevrolet, in comparison with the Niva 2121, looked like just a limousine. What a shame it is for Shnivy owners when this body turns into a three-door. What to do when the back door on a Chevrolet Niva does not open, we will consider the reasons and solutions to the situation right now.

Why doesn't the back door of a Niva Chevrolet open?

The Chevrolet Niva is equipped with a standard central lock; therefore, each of the five doors has an actuator that unlocks the lock when the central device is activated.

In 99% of cases, the problem is still in the mechanics , either in the lock itself, or in damage to the rods. We will not consider cases where the door freezes to the body; this is an exception, but most often the owners are let down by the lock.

Broken lock rod (rod is bent)

The rear door lock rod is marked with an arrow.

It all happens something like this: the protective polyethylene film can peel off from the door frame in some places, and because of this, dust gets into the door cavity. Everything would be fine, but dust accumulates not only at the bottom of the cavity, but also on the levers of the lock itself. One fine moment we go to the car wash or get caught in a heavy downpour, the dust turns into dirt and limits the working strokes of the lock.

Trying to open the door with the handle, we make more and more effort, as a result of which the rod bends. It bends until the central locking actuator simply does not have enough movement to unlock the door. Even straightening the thrust, we will not achieve anything.

The rear door is without trim.

There is only one way out in this situation - dismantling the door card, aligning the rods, dismantling, lubricating and cleaning the lock. Moreover, the sooner you do this, the less likely you are to end up with a completely blocked rear door.

Design features, or tricky spring

Jammed trunk lock on a Niva Chevrolet

The rear door lock on the Chevrolet Niva does not have particularly complex mechanisms. The lock is ordinary, it works according to the VAZ principle, the only difference is that it is locked and unlocked by an actuator. Actuators also fail, but this happens extremely rarely. And even in this case, it is always possible to open or close the door manually.

Tricky spring.

In most cases, it's all about the spring in the housing , which loads one of the rear door lock levers.

Probably, the steel from which the spring is made does not meet the operating conditions, so the spring tendrils often break off .

As a result, one of the lock levers lives its own life - it wants, it will lock the lock, it wants, it will open the door on the go. It’s an unpleasant story, so at the first whims of the lock or its drive, it’s worth removing it and eliminating the cause.

Removing the rear door lock on a Chevrolet Niva for repairs

You will have to remove the rear door trim.

Even if the door no longer opens, you can easily get to the lock and unlock it, and then remove it and repair it. This is done like this:

  1. The rear door door card is removed even when the door is locked. First, unscrew the two screws from the bottom of the door card.
  2. Remove the window handle by bending the handle with a flat screwdriver and pulling the latch upward.
  3. Unscrew the screw securing the decorative trim under the door handle, pulling the handle towards you.
  4. The door card is held on by six pistons - two at the bottom, two at the center and two at the top.
    They snap off if you pry them with a long screwdriver. The door card can now be removed. The decorative card has been removed.

Opening the door

Trunk door lock.

After removing them with a long screwdriver, you need to remove the drive rods, disconnect the terminal blocks and remove the lock from the door cavity along with the actuator . After this, when the lock is in hand, the reason will become visible. In extreme cases, the lock can be replaced. Good luck to everyone and obedient locks!
