Replacement of the side rear view mirror of Lada Kalina. Removal and installation

side mirror Lada Kalina
The outside rear view mirror on the Lada Kalina is designed and dismantled very simply and conveniently, like everything on this model of a domestic car (in my opinion, the best in terms of price-quality ratio).

Mirror ready for installation

This particular mirror is suitable for both Tens and Priora. As we can see in the photo above, the mirror mounting principle is the same as on other Ladas, with one small difference. The side mirror is attached to three self-tapping screws using a shaped screwdriver (see photo above).

The cover closes after installing the mirror

The side mirror itself (in this case, simple, without a turn signal repeater, with manual adjustment) consists of two parts. The main part (the mirror itself) and the protective cover. Connect these parts carefully and accurately by aligning the grooves on the mirror and the inserts on the lid and press it. It should click into place.

We screw three self-tapping screws on the mirror

Next, lean the mirror on the outside of the door so that all three guides and the cable connection fall into place (photo above). Then, screw in and tighten the three screws. Make sure that the mirror on the outside of the door is level and properly positioned.

Close the inner lid

And now, that same “one small difference” - instead of the Zhiguli plastic nut that we screw onto the connection of the control cables, here it is attached to the same Zhiguli corkscrew, which on the classics secures the door lock cylinder. And finally, put on the plastic panel so that the adjustment lever fits into the rubber frame, lean the panel against the two guides in the corresponding holes and press it.

Mirror for Kalina, price 3000 rubles (with mechanical adjustment and without repeater)

Replacing the mirror element on Grant

Many drivers, out of ignorance, change the entire mirror assembly, although in most cases only the mirror element is damaged. And it would be quite ridiculous to pay about 1000 rubles for a complete mirror if you can get by with 300 rubles per element.

The design of the rear view mirrors on Grant, meaning external ones, is the same as on Kalina. That is why the entire process of this repair will be identical. Let's look at the main reasons why this part may be damaged:

side impact in an accident
hitting the mirrors when driving on a too narrow section of the road
other damage not related to the operation of the car

How to remove an old mirror element

Everything here is done, although not complicated, but quite neatly. If you rush and make excessive efforts, you can damage the internal fasteners of the element, and then you will definitely have to buy the entire part assembled.

First, we remove the mirror assembly from the car, and only after that can we begin the repair. Then we move one side of the mirror element as far as possible to the side so that you can get inside this structure with a screwdriver.

Now, using a screwdriver or by hand, if you were able to insert it there, we move the element latches to the side, as is clearly shown in the photo below.

The latches are located along the entire circumference, so you need to unlatch them from all sides. After which this part can be easily removed with minimal effort on your part.

To see what the design of this fastener looks like, look at the picture below.

In addition to the hooks (clamps, latches), there are 4 more guides that must match the holes in the case when installing a new element. The new one is somewhat easier to install than it is to remove, so there shouldn’t be any special problems with installation. The main thing is not to use excessive force when fixing the element, and try to press the element itself as evenly as possible so that it does not break.

The price of a new such part for Grant is about 300 rubles, and as mentioned above, it is much cheaper than buying an assembled mirror. There are a few more points that relate to replacing the mirror element:

the design can be electrically driven
the element may be heated

Due to this, certain issues may arise that have not been described here. This article examined the simplest type of mirror element.

How to remove and disassemble the side rear view mirror

Rear view mirrors are an integral attribute of any car.
They may vary in size, shape and functionality, but they are all designed for one thing - to allow the driver to control the situation around his car. A fairly common problem is the breakdown of side rear view mirrors. This often happens in a parking lot. When the driver is not nearby, the parking “neighbor” may accidentally knock over the rear-view mirror, which, if damaged, will require it to be removed and a new one installed in its place. But this is not the only situation where you may need to remove your car's side mirror. For example, such work will have to be done if you want to repaint it or simply replace it.

In this article, we will consider how to remove and replace the side rear view mirror on a car.

Please note: The instructions below will provide general tips for removing a mirror. Depending on the car model and mirror design, the instructions may vary slightly.

How to remove the side mirror of a Lada Granta

Side rear view mirrors are an integral element of the design of any vehicle. They allow better control of the road situation, promote traffic safety, and optimize the aerodynamics of the body.

Some mirrors are additionally equipped with direction indicators (read the instructions for how to replace them), this statement also applies to the popular domestic car Lada Granta. The need to remove mirrors may be due to the following factors:

Mechanical impact that caused the destruction of the housing.
A crack or other defect on the mirror element. (Instructions for replacing the mirror element)
Burnt spiral of heated mirrors or other damage to the electrical part.

In general, the operation of removing a mirror does not present any particular difficulties; it can be done on your own with minimal waste of time, so there is no need to turn to professionals.

How to make a worthy choice?

Exterior mirrors are one of the most popular and essential parts of a car. Without them, it is impossible to monitor the situation and move along a busy highway. Side-view mirrors often require replacement, due to their high “trauma” during movement.

Before work, you need to choose the best option for the mirror part. This could be a similar or more advanced mirror for Kalina. If difficulties arise when choosing, you need to familiarize yourself with the basic adjustment mechanisms.

The following types of mirrors are distinguished:

Ease of use depends on the choice of mechanism. The hinge type mirror element is the simplest. Many modern cars do not have it.

Lever control is based on a joystick or lever, which is located inside the cabin, and it is connected to the side part using a thin cable.

The electric mirror element is a modern mechanism. It is found in new cars and is equipped with a lot of additional features. Its use means comfort and safety.

Main advantages of the electric mechanism:

increased visibility;
anti-glare coating;
heating;
built-in turn signal backup.

Heated mirrors are modern developments that simplify the life of every motorist. Increased visibility allows you to better navigate city roads. This option reduces the likelihood of an accident by increasing the chances of noticing a dangerous moment. Finally, the clarity and appearance of this item is much better than the stock part.

The anti-reflective coating on the mirror on the viburnum allows you to reflect the sun and bright lights. The anti-dazzle effect maintains good visibility while driving.

Heated mirrors are a convenient option. Thanks to it, there is no need to scrape snow and ice from the glass. This is a very nice and convenient addition. Finally, a built-in signal repeater. This element of the Lada Kalina mirror allows you to notify all road users about upcoming maneuvers. This makes driving easier and safer.

When choosing the optimal mirror element for the Lada Kalina, you must take into account personal preferences. Naturally, we should not forget about convenience and safety.

Removing the door trim

To gain access to the elements that fix the mirror, you first need to remove the door trim.

The sequence of actions is as follows:

Removing the key blocking the lock.
Removing the plugs.

Sequentially unscrew the screws and screws holding the upholstery.
To remove the upholstery, you need to insert a flat-head screwdriver wrapped in electrical tape into the groove between the upholstery and the door panel ( but it’s better to use a special device ). The clamps provide some resistance, but significant force during dismantling is unacceptable.

The rods of the locking mechanism are removed, the upholstery is moved back to a distance limited by the length of the wires supplying the lifts.
The wiring is carefully removed, after which the door trim is also dismantled.

Removing the mirror

The procedure after removing the upholstery is as follows:

Using pliers, carefully remove the locking bracket, which limits the mobility of the hinge.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws that secure the mirror to the door structure.

The mirror is removed, all cables and hinge mechanisms are routed through a hole located in the outer door panel.

If we are talking about a mechanically controlled mirror, with automatic control, then it may additionally be necessary to remove the wires that provide the drive with electrical energy.

These wires are fixed in blocks, so disconnecting them is not difficult.

Installing a new mirror occurs in the reverse order of installing door trim.

The main thing is to control the correct connection of the wires in order to maintain the functionality of all electronic systems of the vehicle, direction indicators and heating

How to disassemble a car's side mirror

Disassembling the side mirror involves removing the mirror element itself, which is located in a plastic case. This is necessary if the mirror element is broken, you need to repaint the plastic element or perform some other manipulations with these parts separately from each other.

The mirror element is secured in the mirror body using several plastic latches, which are located on its reverse side. Most often there are about 8 such latches, 2-3 on each side. We recommend proceeding as follows to remove the mirror from the housing without damaging any of the elements:

Since the latches are plastic, it makes sense to warm them up a little so that they are more flexible to deformation. To do this, you can use a regular household hair dryer. Direct it at the glass for 3-4 minutes, preferably evenly distributing the heat along all edges of the mirror. Important: Do not use a hair dryer for this work, as its temperature may exceed the melting point of plastic, as a result of which the mounts and side mirror housings will be deformed and damaged ;
When the latches have become softer, you can proceed directly to the process of removing the mirror. To do this, we recommend taking plastic spatulas (which are often used in mobile equipment repair services). If you don’t have such a spatula, you can use a regular flat-head screwdriver, but before doing this, it is advisable to wrap the metal part with electrical tape so as not to accidentally scratch the mirror and body. Also get a small piece of soft fabric;
After this, place a soft piece of cloth on the plastic part of the case in the place where you will insert the spatulas or screwdrivers. After this, insert the tool, thereby moving the mirror;

Depending on the car model and the mirror used, the space under the mirror element may be empty or filled with various components. Their dismantling, if necessary, should not cause difficulties.
