Safe driving is impossible without a normal view of the area around the car. The presence of side mirrors allows you to navigate when reversing, when changing lanes and when overtaking. The standard mirrors on the VAZ 2114 are uninformative and inconvenient in terms of adjustment. Replacing them with third-party options is a typical procedure for owners of “fours”. Understanding which mirrors are suitable for the VAZ 2114 will help the owner of the 2114 in choosing.

Disadvantages of standard side mirrors on the VAZ 2114
Before considering options with modifications, it would be useful to recall the shortcomings of standard mirrors on the Samara family of the first and second generations:
- The small size of the mirror element makes the “dead” viewing area too large;
- Low structural strength of the standard version;
- Inconvenient handles for adjusting the tilt of the mirror element;
- Weak fastening of the body to the door.

I bought a 4 month old car. There were no longer standard mirrors from the ZV factory. Ilyushka replaced them with some from the market, like beautiful, fashionable ones, but for me it sucks and hellish guano. There was a cable-type Ketai, like droplets, in the color of the body. THEY ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE FROM THE INTERIOR WITH THE JOYSTIC AT ALL! NEITHER THIS WAY! After the purchase, I adjusted it myself brutally, got out of the car and let’s knead the reflectors back and forth with my fingers until I adjusted it acceptable to myself. Well, I somehow drove this for 4 days, I’m not used to it after the 1973 GAZ-24, where the original mirrors are more of a chrome-plated external Retro attribute than MIRRORS! I also got used to this guano on the Lada, since I bought it and since it was standing, but I had to turn my head, because the information content and ergonomics are zero. And the Xenons are blinding in them - God forbid! Like arc welding in the eyes at night! Hell!
These are the ones we had when we bought them:
THEY RATTLE AND SHAKE AS HELL WHEN DRIVING IN ANY IMMUNITY OF THE ROAD. YOU ARE DRIVING ON A FLAT ASPHALT ROAD, AND THEY SHAKE AND SHAKE! WHAT TO SAY ABOUT A ROUGH ROAD?
I bought it on Saturday at Auto 49 for 1000 rubles. mirrors for 2114 Ergon, Aspherics, blue anti-dazzle reflector, the left one, surprisingly, turned out to be panoramic, like the right one. I immediately realized that something was wrong here. From what hangover should the left mirror have a distancing effect? THIS IS NOT ACCORDING TO GOST!
I installed it on the car. HELL GUANO! EVEN WORSE THAN THE KETAI THAT CAME WITH THE CAR! Not JUST HELL, but also + swear words during installation, the rubber bands all moved out of place and broke out of their seats on their own, they don’t really fit into place, the screws are complete crap, the joystick is idiotic, the decorative plug-panel on the interior side immediately flew out, the handle It doesn’t fit into place, it doesn’t lock in place, and at the first adjustment, it fell off and fell to the floor. I didn’t even bother putting the right one - I immediately realized that I had thrown that money down the drain.
What I want? Something like this:
Anti-dazzle golden reflector. Beautiful appearance. And so that during installation it fits perfectly without tambourines and dancing, and that the adjustment joysticks work perfectly without leaving the cabin.
There was a desire to throw these mirrors Ergon and Ketai in the trash! Well, or act more humanely and pick up everything for the poor or fans on the streets: Pack these mirrors in a transparent plastic bag, and hang the bag itself on a tree, on a bush behind the GSK, which is where people walk from work in the morning and evening along Raspletina Street, house. 15 employees at the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy in the 3rd Passage. Normal people wouldn’t pick up this kind of crap, but the Kyrgyz street cleaners or the Tajik gasters would immediately pick up this bag of mirrors and drag it away in the morning?
Don’t be offended or surprised, but Samovarych traditionally packs all the guano from the garage in bags and hangs it on bushes. On the very first day, the bags disappear from the bushes!
Did I understand correctly, guys, that I need to look for ordinary Polytech (Petersburg) branded mirrors and, just like on my previous GAZ-3110 car, install them? But already on the Lada?
That is, go again to the South Port to pavilion 49 (representative office of the Polytechnic University in Moscow) and only pick it up there, as before?
Or are there other equally worthy mirrors besides Polytech?
Everything else about the car does not cause any complaints; the car even comes with an excellent orthopedic pad for the front right passenger, which comes from the factory. Match the color of the seat. Adjustable. A new product from AvtoVAZ at the request of consumers.
You don't need to do anything to the car! Nothing at all! I just sat down and drove off. And drive yourself to TO-2.
There are also summer wheels, but it’s too early to change them. The weather turned bad in Moscow time. Winter has come again. While wearing Dunlop winter spikes I am damaging the asphalt and making the sound of spikes clicking.
