Replacing the windshield of Lada 2112 (VAZ 2112)

You can, of course, order a replacement at a service station. But many motorists want to know how to do it themselves. Many car owners are interested in how to replace the windshield on a VAZ 2110, one of the most popular models.

Replacing the windshield of 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 the impact causes cracks that are unacceptable for normal operation
• hit by stones, gravel, spikes from winter tires when overtaking other cars or from oncoming traffic
• the car getting into strong potholes and pits on the road, as a result of which a crack may form due to the fact that the body has shifted
• chips, cracks, all kinds of abrasions that interfere with everyday use

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

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

Essential Tool for Windshield Replacement

An assistant and tools may be required to carry out the work:

1. Set for gluing glass.
2. Windshield.
3. String with handles.
4. Activator and primer.
5. White Spirit.

It is not recommended to save on the materials and tools listed above, as this may cause the need to carry out such work again after some time. Glue plays a particularly important role.

Preparing for replacement

In the process of removing the frill. The wipers have already been removed.

To install new glass, you must initially properly dismantle the old one. To cut glass you need to use a string.

We saw off the old sealant with a string

It is pushed into the hole between the glass and the body, then handles are attached to it and worked like a regular saw. The string should move along the edge of the glass.

We removed the old one and are getting ready to install the new one.

After cutting, you should try to get the windshield out. To make cutting easier, you can heat the area where the glass is glued with a hairdryer.

Installation of new glass on a VAZ-2112

Before installing new glass, you must first prepare the surface for it. It should be cleaned of residual glue and other elements. Further:

1. To ensure good adhesion to the frame, it is not recommended to cut off all the old glue. You should leave a small layer of it.
2. All connection points must be cleaned.

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

So, before you start replacing, of course, you need to cut off the old one. There are special kits for this, which were described above. They consist of strings, holders and an awl.

Before you start cutting, you need to remove the side pillar trims from the interior side, and also unscrew and slightly move the front part of the headliner. This is necessary in order not to damage the upholstery with the string.

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

After this, we thread 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 this.

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

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

After this, we put on a new seal and, using suction cups, 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 is worth keeping in mind that after installing a new windshield on a VAZ 2110, you should not open and close the doors, creating vibrations in the body or excessive air flow in the car. This can lead to the glass coming away from the glue and having to do everything all over again.

In order for the glass to be securely fixed in the body opening, you should wait 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). Our auto glass manufacturer BOR can be considered the highest quality glass.

In cases where there are no suction cups for picking up glass, glue should be applied to the frame itself. The steps should be rehearsed so that the glass can be installed in one go.

After installing the glass, you can start assembling the parts removed from the body (frills, windshield wipers). It must be done in reverse order.

Important! After installing the glass, do not slam the doors, as this may damage its integrity. The machine can only be used one day after installation.

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.

Removing old glass

Before removing the old windshield from your VAZ, you need to dismantle the mechanisms that interfere with this:

1. Remove the frills and wipers so that they do not bother you.
2. Remove the plugs and glass fasteners.
3. Find two nuts near the ventilation grille and unscrew them.
4. Start removing the rubber seal from the engine compartment. Do this carefully. Remove the screws that hold the sound insulation and windshield seal.
5. There is a lock in the center of the seal - your task is to pull out the rubber so that it remains in place.
6. Under the frill there is a washer hose and a clamp. You need to cut the hose in an inconspicuous place, and then you will mark the adapter there.
7. Now you can completely remove the seal, because nothing is holding it in place.
8. All that remains is to remove the decorative molding and the glass is ready to be removed.

It is best to dismantle the glass with a partner who will sit in the cabin. You should not knock it out, even if it is almost completely covered with cracks. It's best to use it in a safe way. Remove the handle from the string and push one of its ends into the interior (to do this, use any suitable gap).

You should cut the glass, placing the string at an angle to it. The person on the outside will guide the cutting string, and the person on the inside will pull it through with rhythmic movements. To do this, you need to install handles on the string. Once you have gone all the way around the glass, work with an assistant to carefully pull it out. If you handle the edge, wear thick gloves.

Preparatory work

Direct replacement begins with preparing the seat and the glass itself. For this:

1. Remove most of the old adhesive, leaving only a thin and rough layer of it for better adhesion of the installation agent.
2. Inspect the frame. If you notice traces of rust on it, you will need to remove it and apply a primer to the cleaned area.
3. The edge of the new glass and the seat must be degreased. After this, you can apply the activator.

The glass itself must also be prepared before installation: wipe off dust, degrease, and clean its edge with fine-grained sandpaper. You have to install the molding, and if it does not fit tightly, secure it with tape. Mark along the entire length of the molding the places where the glue will be applied.

Installing a windshield using suction cups

It is best to treat the inside of the glass on which the glue will be applied with white spirit. It is best to mark the glue using a swab dipped in primer. You will use this to mark a strip for the adhesive composition. You need to treat the entire frame of the opening at once and leave for 10-15 minutes.

If you use suction cups, then there will be only one fundamental difference in the work - the glue must be applied to the glass itself using a special gun. Before doing this, it should be heated, then the composition will be distributed throughout the opening and will set better. The thickness of the adhesive layer should be about 1 centimeter. Before applying it, grab the glass from the outside in the center with suction cups.

Glass installation is carried out according to the instructions:

1. Roll down the front door windows and open the hood.
2. Place your partner in the cabin so that he can help control the process and direct the windshield into the frame on his part.
3. Take the glass by the suction cup handles and press it to the frame.

The good thing about using holding devices is that you can quickly press the glass evenly against the frame. You will not need to install the bottom part first and then the top. Make sure that the glass fits tightly into the frame.

Installation of new glass VAZ

When starting to install the windshield, you must always remember that when laying the panel on the frame, you must not disturb the fresh adhesive layer.

You should start by placing the windshield on the table with the outer side facing up. The rubber seal and molding are carefully placed on it. If these components were installed on old, dismantled glass, but remained in good technical condition, then they can be reused on a new panel. If the seal does not fit tightly to the edge of the windshield, it can be secured with tape.

In order for the installation to be of high quality and convenient for the performers, it is recommended to open the hood slightly and lower the windows on the front doors. Holding the bottom of the panel with one hand and sticking the other hand inside the cabin through the window opening, you should calmly control the entire process. The glass is brought with its lower part onto the lower edge of the frontal opening of the body and carefully lowered onto the frame with glued edges.

It should be remembered that the glue must dry to full condition within 12-15 hours. Only after this can you begin to operate the car.

Installing glass without using suction cups

If you did not buy special suction cups, then you can do it without them, but in this case the participation of an assistant is mandatory - he will direct the glass to the seat from the interior. This method of carrying out work is less convenient and simpler. There is no need to treat the glass itself with glue - apply the composition in a 1-centimeter layer to the frame. The rest of the DIY preparation is carried out according to the same principles and instructions.

First, guide the bottom edge of the glass into the frame and press it down. Then you need to gently press the top of it against the opening. After this, assemble the windshield components in reverse order. The car should not be touched for a day, as this time will be spent on drying the glue. During these 24 hours, you cannot slam doors or start the engine - any vibration may cause the glass to move.

How much does a windshield cost for a VAZ 2112?

The windshield is considered the most important and at the same time vulnerable place in a car. The transparency and quality of glass affects visibility and safety while driving. Often, it is the windshield that is damaged and needs to be replaced.

The causes of damage can be: participation in an accident, gravel flying under the wheels of an oncoming or ahead car while driving, falling into a deep pothole, when the force of the impact can cause a crack. The price range for a windshield within Russia can be from 2,500 rubles. up to 6000 rub . depending on the type of glass and manufacturer.

Price range

Absolutely all modern glass is produced according to triplex technology - when the strength of the glass is achieved by special gluing of three layers of glass, a special film that prevents foreign objects from entering the cabin in the event of a collision. Thus, this technology is recognized to protect the driver and passengers.

Depending on the availability of additional glass options, the glass may be:

1. Anti-glare. This type helps the driver at night, removes the glare of passing headlights, and reduces the discomfort of being blinded.
2. Acoustic. This glass has the property of absorbing noise while driving due to a special soundproofing coating.
3. Glasses equipped with sensors. The technology allows you to install rain or low-light sensors, and thereby turn on the headlights when visibility decreases and connect the wipers when there is moisture on the windshield.
4. Glasses equipped with solar system. Thanks to it, most of the solar radiation, and in particular, ultraviolet rays, do not enter the car interior.
5. With silk-screen printing. Almost all products from leading factories are equipped with this option, which consists of a dark stripe around the perimeter. The intended purpose is to provide an aesthetic appearance and hide unattractive connecting edges.
6. Heated. This quality is indispensable in cold climates, as it significantly reduces the time it takes to clean the glass from ice and snow.
7. With sun strip. Various shades of the strip running along the top of the glass create comfort when driving in sunny weather.

The price of glass for a VAZ 2112 is formed under the influence of standard components. Pricing is formed under the influence of such characteristics as:

• Presence of a tinting effect (about 2600 rub.)
• The presence of a sun protection strip of various shades (from 2000 rubles to 4600 rubles)
• Manufacturer (from 2000 rub. to 6000 rub.)
• Silk-screen printing (from RUB 3,600 to RUB 5,700)

The price is also influenced by such an indicator as an acoustic feature that can reduce noise when the vehicle is moving.

Glass replacement technology

Previously invented VAZ models were distinguished by their simplicity and ease of operation when replacing the windshield. But, modern VAZ 2112 models require a certain tool and adherence to a sequence of specific actions:

• Prepare a special tool for removing old glass.
• Cut out old material.
• Install new glass.
• Maintain the necessary technological break so that the adhesive base is completely dry and securely fixes the structure.

In order for the replacement to be successful, you must purchase the following tools:

1. String holder.
2. A special awl for threading a string.
3. A string whose meter should be 1 m.
4. Solvent.
5. Glue for gluing glass.
6. Brand new sealing rubber, previously inspected, without any defects.

The installation can be done on your own, or you can use the services of a service. It is better to purchase parts from trusted manufacturers who have all the necessary documents that confirm quality.

Replacement features

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.

The question of how to independently change the windshield on a VAZ-2112 is asked by many car owners. This is not surprising, since the service life of glass is affected by both its manufacturing quality and the quality of the roads. Many people can do this kind of work on their own if they have some experience and some skills.

Replacing the windshield on a VAZ 2110 with your own hands

Drivers change the windshield of a VAZ 2110 only when it is severely cracked. In other cases, owners operate the vehicle without replacement, with a crack. It is not advisable to do this.

Replacing the windshield of a VAZ 2110 in the absence of funds to contact the service center is carried out independently.

Replacing the windshield of a VAZ 2110 with your own hands

According to search engine statistics, the question “how to replace a windshield” is asked monthly by thousands of Russian-speaking Internet users.
In principle, this is not surprising, given the quality of our roads and the quality of the glass that is produced here. Today I want to tell you about how to independently replace a windshield using the example of a VAZ 2110 at home using improvised means. To do this job you will need an assistant, as well as:

1. Set for gluing glass.
2. Windshield.
3. String with two handles.
4. Primer and activator.
5. White Spirit.

I don’t recommend saving on windshield or materials. The imaginary savings will definitely backfire a few years after installation in the form of chips, cracks, leaks during rain, and other troubles. In addition, high-quality glue plays a very important role; a lot depends on its properties and quality. In my experiments I used dinitrol, terosol, sicaflex - any of the three options will provide you with reliability and a long service life, in short, you will not have any problems with them.

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.

1. Remove the wipers and frill.
2. Remove the plugs and fasteners.
3. There are 2 nuts on each edge of the ventilation grille under the hood, unscrew them.
4. Start removing the rubber gasket through the engine compartment. After this, unscrew the screws connecting the sound insulation and the windshield seal.
5. Pull out the seal together with the lock, which is located in the center.
6. 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.
7. Once the seal is not holding anything in place, remove it.
8. 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.

Removing the windshield

Having opened the engine compartment, remove the rubber windshield seal. To do this, you need to pull the molding by the edge. Removing the molding will make it possible to remove triangular-shaped rubber gaskets from under the glass.

Sawing is done as follows. The old hardened glue is pierced with a knife or some other sharp object. A string is carefully inserted into the resulting hole and pulled (into the cabin), at the ends of which handles are then attached.

At the bottom of the VAZ 2110 glass is cut under the hood. When performing this part of the operation, the necessary measures should be taken to avoid damaging the torpedo.

Preparing the perimeter of the opening

After dismantling the old VAZ 2110 windshield and before installing a new transparent shield, it is recommended to prepare a seat.

First of all, the preparation of the opening is carried out by removing the old dried glue. If rust is present, it also needs to be removed and the cleaned area primed.

Reference! Cleaning must be done as carefully as possible so as not to damage the paint of the vehicle. And when removing old glue, you should not completely clean the opening. It is recommended to leave a slight layer in order to better adhere the fresh substance to the mounting parts.

The thin adhesive layer is degreased along with the edge of the new glass. The degreaser should dry a little, after which the activator is applied. This substance promotes better bonding of elements.

Before application, the special adhesive should be warmed up slightly. This is done so that it becomes soft and fits better on the surface. The layer thickness is usually indicated in the instructions for use.

The glass itself is also prepared for installation:

• wipe the transparent dust shield;
• put on the molding; if it does not fit tightly, secure it with tape;
• degrease the edge on which the activator is applied;
• Along the entire length of the molding, using a primer, mark the place where the glue will be applied.

Now we’ll figure out how to properly glue the windshield onto a VAZ 2110 with our own hands.

Replacing the windshield of a VAZ 2110 is carried out as accurately and efficiently as possible. Therefore, it is recommended to adhere to these recommendations.

1. In the first 4 hours after replacement, it is prohibited to operate the car, open or close the doors. The glue is not dry enough yet. Complete drying and maximum adhesion occurs a week after installation.
