Lada Priora has a standard size of windshield wiper blades. There are many types of wipers. Choosing the right ones from the entire assortment will not be difficult. When choosing, it is important to focus on the vehicle’s operating conditions and speed limit.
Finding windshield wipers for Priora will not be difficult. You just need to choose the appropriate modification. Moreover, the dimensions on all modifications without exception are completely identical. Regardless of the body type (hatchback, sedan or station wagon), the length is the same. Which greatly simplifies the selection procedure. Replacement also does not cause any difficulties.
Original dimensions of wipers for Lada Priora
Lada Priora Length of the driver's windshield wiper: 508 mm (20 inches). Passenger wiper length: 508 mm (20″). Fastening type - hook.
This car has running blade sizes and a common fastening, so the choice of windshield wipers for it is quite wide.
In addition, since when cleaning the glass with original-sized wipers, a decent gap remains on the glass, car owners install larger brushes to increase the cleaning area of the windshield. There are different options here: 550 + 500, 530 + 530, 530 + 510, 530 + 500.
Dimensions
It should be noted: a feature of this car is the ability to install custom-sized wipers. If the length is more than 508 mm, no difficulties will arise. The following sets of pairs of brushes can be installed:
- 550 mm + 500 mm;
- 530 mm + 530 mm;
- 530 mm + 510 mm;
- 530 mm + 500 mm.
Year of manufacture Driver's side Passenger's side Rear Mounting type
2007- 2018 | 20 inches - 508 mm | 20 inches - 508 mm | Absent | “Hook” – hook |
The operation process itself usually does not cause problems. But you need to remember that the increased weight, length and generally non-standard design have a greater impact on the gearbox, engine and slots - on which the leads are installed. Long-term increased load, especially at high speed, can lead to rapid wear of the splines. Or failure of the electric motor.
Original articles
AvtoVAZ, like many other car manufacturers, does not independently manufacture small parts. Including brushes. The official supplier of VAZ wipers until 2022 is Bosch. The products of this company are supplied to the AvtoVAZ plant. After which it is packaged in original boxes.
But it should be noted that purchasing original components does not affect the warranty. No problems during installation, as well as during operation, are also guaranteed. It is only important to carefully examine the box. Because there are a lot of fakes on the market. Windshield wiper blades have the following part numbers:

Replacement options
Finding and purchasing original windshield cleaning blades is not a trivial task. It is much easier to purchase high-quality analogues. It is only important to pay attention to the article number, as well as the length. The cost varies depending on the brand, quality and type of brushes themselves. The following varieties are presented on the market in the Russian Federation in 2022:
- frame;
- frameless;
- hybrid;
- winter.
Frame
Frame modifications are also often called classic. They have an important drawback: at high speed, due to an unsuccessful aerodynamic shape, the degree of cleaning is significantly reduced. But some models are equipped with a special spoiler. Due to this, air resistance is reduced. The advantage of frame brushes is their low cost.

SPARCO | SPC-1026 | Size: 20″ (500 mm) Frame: steel Coating: graphite | From 600 rubles per piece |
Frameless
Frameless ones are made of a single piece of rubber. This makes it easy to clean the surface of the windshield even at high speed. Air resistance will be minimal. The cost of wipers of this type is slightly higher than frame ones. But they are more convenient to use. Removing and replacing old brushes of any type with new frame ones will not be difficult.

Hybrid
Hybrid wipers combine the advantages of frameless and frame models. They are brushes made entirely of rubber. But having a rigid frame made of metal or other materials. They do a good job of cleaning the windshield even at high speed on the highway. This applies to both normal precipitation in the form of rain or snow. So does dust and road dirt.

Winter
Winter wipers are distinguished by their elasticity - even at sub-zero temperatures they clean the glass well. But it is important to remember that their price is usually an order of magnitude higher than regular ones. Because they are more expensive to produce. In this case, to avoid rapid wear of such parts, you can purchase replacement parts. And install only in difficult weather conditions. For example, in winter.

Types of structures
In winter, you want to load this equipment into a snowmobile trailer and go for a ride. And a banal blizzard or snowfall will hinder you only because the wipers cannot withstand the flow of precipitation.
And then you realize that the universal wipers you bought are not so universal. In the summer you rarely used them, but winter turned out to be too much for the installed brushes.
I would compare the rubber on summer and winter wipers with the rubber on summer and winter tires. You are doing the right thing when you change your car’s shoes before the start of the season and send the temporarily unnecessary kit for seasonal storage.
This is how you should do the same with cleaners. In winter, use winter ones, and in summer switch to a summer set.
Structurally, winter brushes differ from each other. In total I would distinguish 3 types:
Let's try to figure out which ones are better and take a look at the test of authoritative publications. I won't be able to test many types of brushes myself. Therefore, it will rely on expert opinions. This way the review will be as objective as possible and you can decide whether the 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 seasons are worth starting with full winter wipers.
Frame
This is a bad option. I’m telling you right away so that you don’t get too hung up on this choice. The verdict is based on the relevant test results.
Winter frameless brushes are similar to summer ones, only their body is placed in a rubber cover. Its task is to protect the elastic band and internal parts from moisture, snow, and water.
There are several main disadvantages:
- high windage coefficient, due to which operating efficiency is lost at speeds of more than 90 km/h;
- it is difficult to get rid of moisture that gets inside the casing (drainage does not work well, condensation forms);
- Many frameless brushes use low quality rubber.
But even if you use softer rubber, performance still will not improve significantly.
Frameless
The most common option among car wipers. Very simple to manufacture, but extremely convenient to use.
They combine reliability, durability and basic maintenance. Recently, there has been a tendency to abandon the production of frame models in favor of frameless ones.
Almost all of them, regardless of the manufacturer, are made according to the same principle. This is a base made of metal or plastic, which is covered with rubber or caoutchouc. They have replaceable fastenings in the center. The rubber band of the cleaner is fixed at the bottom.
Due to this design, the wiper has excellent aerodynamic performance, does not make noise during operation, and is easily cleaned of adhered snow and ice. Everything ingenious is simple.
Hybrid
Japan simply loves them. That’s why most Japanese cars are equipped with hybrid COs straight from the assembly line. They are called the most reliable windshield wiper options. In fact, this is true.
Hybrid models are distinguished by their robust design, ease of operation and good aerodynamics. But according to the latter indicator, they are slightly inferior to frameless ones. Almost silent.
The design is based on a conventional frame wiper. But it is tightly closed with a plastic or metal casing. This casing completely follows the shape of the brush. So the weight becomes greater, but the wiper fits much tighter.
The only caveat is that it is better not to install such models on cars that have a strong windshield bend.
How to select VAZ brushes by length
The easiest way to find brush sizes is in the car's operating instructions. If you do not have such instructions and you cannot download them on the Internet, then remove the old brushes installed on your car and measure their length. It often happens that a person bought a car, but it has inappropriate brushes installed and there are no operating instructions. In this case, we recommend doing the following:
- place the windshield wiper arms vertically;
- measure the distance from the attachment point to the rubber seal;
- subtract 5 mm from this distance and multiply by 2, this will be the length of the brushes.
This technique can be used not only for the front brushes, but also for the rear brushes. On many machines, the lengths of the right and left brushes are different, so their optimal length can be found in the operating instructions or on the forums of the owners of such machines, for example:
Verdict
On a VAZ 2109 car, the electric motor and wipers do not work at the same time for the following reasons:
- frozen brushes;
- incorrect location of brush holders in extreme positions and defects in geometry;
- oxidized/burnt contact connectors and defective wires;
- defective relay;
- wear of the brush-collector unit in the gearmotor;
- faulty limit switch.
A properly functioning gear motor may not transmit torque to the wipers in the following cases:
- the nuts securing the levers on the axis of the driven shafts of the trapezoid are loosened;
- the nut pressing the trapezoid crank to the driven gear of the gearbox is unscrewed;
- The teeth on the gears of the gearbox are chipped.

Manufacturers and prices of analogues
Analogs include frame, frameless, and hybrid brushes. There are several options on the market. Choose the one that suits you best - no matter whether it has a frame or not. The main thing is not to let the old windshield wiper start to scratch the windshield or rear window.
When replacing cleaning brushes, use the following dimensions in millimeters (driver - passenger side):
- 630 – 480;
- 530 – 510;
- 510 – 500.
Other layouts are considered by car owners to be not as effective. Among the well-known analogs of windshield wiper blades are:
- Bosch Aerotwin - frameless, made in Belgium. Full name: Bosch aerotwin retrofitar 532 s. Price – 1200-1300 rubles. The length of the driver's seat is 53 cm, the passenger's length is 50 cm. Sold as a set.
- Bosch Twin is a simpler model. They have the same dimensions, but despite the lower price they are famous for their reliability. The cost is about 800 rubles.
- Bosch Eco is the most economical option. They are inexpensive and sold individually. Price – 300 rubles for one brush. Length – 50 cm.
- Denso Hybrid is recognized as almost the best model on the market. Withstands cold and heat. Price per piece – 500 rubles. Length 50 cm.
- Alca - simple, 500 rubles apiece. The length is 50 cm, but on the passenger side an area of approximately 5 cm wide is left uncovered.
Replacement
The replacement process is quick. Usually, the purchased wiper comes with everything that is required for installation. The vehicle uses a “hook” type fastening system. This allows you to avoid various difficulties with adapters. To dismantle old wipers, just squeeze the plastic fastener tightly with your fingers and then pull the entire frame down - away from the hook arc.
With gentle rocking, you can easily pull the old wiper out of its engagement. The installation process is carried out in reverse order. All actions must be performed carefully, without rushing. Especially if the procedure is performed in the cold. Since the plastic becomes brittle, it is easy to damage. If you do this with the mounting kit that comes with the wiper, you will have to purchase a new one. Which is especially inconvenient when the cost is more than several hundred rubles.
Well-functioning windshield blades are the key to road safety and good visibility. It is important to carefully examine the wiper before purchasing. Preference should be given to well-known and well-established brands. You also need to remember about the large number of fakes on the market.
Frameless windshield wipers for Priora
Of the frameless kits, I would probably immediately recommend the Bosch Aerotwin Retrofit AR 532 S brushes (article 3397118986). These windshield wipers are recommended by the manufacturer for Priora, and they just have an extended driver blade (530 mm + 500 mm). They are made in Belgium, they are reliable, durable, easy to clean and do not creak. Read more about Bosch Aerotwin.
Buy: → World of wipers, → Yandex Market.
You can also consider piece brushes from Bosch. You can install a pair of Aerotwin Retrofit AR 20 U 500 mm brushes (article 3397008535). As an option, two Aerotwin Retrofit brushes: AR 21 U and AR 20 U with a length of 530 mm and 500 mm, respectively (article 3397008536 + 3397008535).

Buy 530 mm: → World of wipers, → Yandex Market.
Among the more budget-friendly options for frameless brushes, pay attention to the wipers of the Canadian manufacturer Rainblade (article 358356 + 358349) - two brushes 530 and 510 mm.
How to choose the right size of windshield wipers for a Lada Granta without compromising their quality?
The safety of the driver and passengers primarily depends on the quality of windshield cleaning, so every car owner must control this issue. Wipers are classified as consumables, so sooner or later every car enthusiast will be faced with the need to replace them. What size is the Lada Granta windshield wiper and in what cases do the blades need to be changed - we will tell you more about this below.
There are several signs that indicate that the purifiers need replacing:
- The primary and most important is poor cleaning quality of the windshield, the appearance of streaks and streaks when fluid is supplied from the washer reservoir. As a result of wear of the blades themselves installed on the wipers, the quality of glass cleaning is reduced to a minimum. Poor cleaning results in obstructed visibility.
- The appearance of noise and squeaking when the wipers operate. As a rule, extraneous noise appears after the brushes begin to wear out and the glass is poorly cleaned. But there are also cases when the sound appears first, and only then the ineffectiveness of the brushes. So if you notice squeaking or noise, keep in mind that you will have to change your wipers soon.
- The glass began to darken. As a rule, darkening of the glass is caused by the use of a low-quality washer, but the reason may also lie in damage to the rubber blade. This will cause the angle of the wiper edge to be offset.
- The windshield wipers seem to “jump”. As a result of an increase in lifting force, the following problem appears - the wipers begin to work faster, and accordingly, they can jump over some areas of the glass surface. The brush does not adhere tightly to the glass surface
Brush sizes
Standard sizes of windshield wipers for Grant:
- according to the technical manual, the size of the driver's wiper is 600 mm;
- The size of the passenger cleaner is 410 mm.
Alternatively, you can use longer windshield wipers:
- On the passenger side, you can install a longer wiper, its size should be no more than 450 mm, this will allow it to engage a larger amount of surface.
- As for the driver's brush, it is better not to experiment here. For example, if you install a 610 mm wiper, this will cause it to touch the car body during operation, and accordingly, a knock will appear (video author - TheLadaKalina 2).
Types of wipers
There are two types of wipers for the Lada Granta:
- Frameless. Such products are better pressed against the surface of the windshield, which allows for better cleaning. Due to the absence of a frame, such devices practically do not freeze during the frosty season, which greatly simplifies their operation in winter. In addition, when operating at high speed, frameless products produce an order of magnitude less noise.
- Frame. This option is older, since it was previously widely used on many cars. Their cost is lower, but they are equipped with a frame, which in any case will freeze during cold weather. However, products of this type tend to cause less damage to the surface of the windshield, since they are not pressed against it as tightly, unlike frameless options.
There is also a hybrid version of the product, but it has the same characteristics as frame wipers, so we do not recommend choosing it. The most technologically advanced option is frameless products, but their cost is higher (the author of the video is the remgar channel).
Vibration in the car.
Lada priora
Any driver can be infuriated by the moment when his car starts to shake. Fortunately for motorists, in 75% of cases this cause can be corrected and eliminated, which will allow your car to return to its previous comfort. Each of us certainly wants the car to run smoothly and without vibrations. I especially want the car not to disappoint and to be as before - like new. But unfortunately, sooner or later any of the machines begins to break down due to their natural wear and tear. But this does not mean at all that it is time to buy yourself a new car. After all, uneven operation of the engine and the car itself can manifest itself not only on a fairly used car.
If your car begins to shake due to vibrations that you do not understand, then the main thing here is not to panic. If the car is more than 3 - 5 years old, then most likely the following could happen: some components in the car have exhausted their service life. You could say that your car is starting to show its age. If you do not want to overpay for car diagnostics in order to find out and identify the cause of such shaking, then you can try to identify this malfunction (in our case, shaking) yourself.
Choosing a wiper based on weather conditions
Nowadays, there are many different types of wipers. Each of them implies its use in certain conditions. They are divided into two types: summer and winter.
Summer
In the summer, even inexpensive wipers can provide good cleaning of the windshield. Since weather conditions allow the cleaning gum to remain elastic for a long time. Therefore, in the summer, you can use any type of wipers. But frameless ones cope best with large amounts of moisture on glass; they have a more expensive price compared to their competitors.
The cost of frameless wipers starts from 300 rubles per piece.
The cost of frame brushes is from 100 rubles per piece.
Winter
In winter, at low temperatures, snow or ice frozen on the windshield begins to melt and drain when the heater operates in the cabin. This greatly interferes with visibility; ordinary windshield wipers are not able to cope with this task, since their rubber band will “stiffen” at low temperatures and will not press tightly against the windshield.
Winter glass cleaners are able to remain flexible during low temperatures. These wipers are framed and have frame protection from snow and ice getting into them.
The cost of winter wipers starts from 500 rubles per piece.
In winter, the use of frameless wipers is not advisable because when brushing a large amount of snow off the glass, such a brush is more likely to be damaged.
Briefly about classification
Before determining which wipers are good , it is worth understanding the type of products available on the market. Thus, existing designs of faithful assistants are divided into 4 types:
- frame;
- frameless;
- winter;
- hybrid.
All products designed to combat the negative effects of bad weather have a different mechanism that ensures the structure is pressed against the windshield. In addition, the presented subclasses differ in a set of characteristics:
- the force that ensures the structure is pressed against the windshield of the car;
- the level of aerodynamics, which determines the reliability and quality of the part at various speeds;
- the nature of protection from the negative effects of sunlight;
- duration of preservation of the declared performance indicators;
- ability to work efficiently at sub-zero temperatures and in snowfall conditions.
The maximum combination of the above characteristics in one product will allow you to find out which wipers are better for winter and how long they will serve correctly.
Which wipers are better for the winter on Priora
Lada Priora has a standard size of windshield wiper blades. There are many types of wipers. Choosing the right ones from the entire assortment will not be difficult. When choosing, it is important to focus on the vehicle’s operating conditions and speed limit.
Finding windshield wipers for Priora will not be difficult. You just need to choose the appropriate modification. Moreover, the dimensions on all modifications without exception are completely identical. Regardless of the body type (hatchback, sedan or station wagon), the length is the same. Which greatly simplifies the selection procedure. Replacement also does not cause any difficulties.
Dimensions
It should be noted: a feature of this car is the ability to install custom-sized wipers. If the length is more than 508 mm, no difficulties will arise. The following sets of pairs of brushes can be installed:
- 550 mm + 500 mm;
- 530 mm + 530 mm;
- 530 mm + 510 mm;
- 530 mm + 500 mm.
Year of issue | Driver side | Passenger side | Rear | Mounting type |
2007- 2018 | 20 inches - 508 mm | 20 inches - 508 mm | Absent | "Hook" - hook |
The operation process itself usually does not cause problems. But you need to remember that the increased weight, length and generally non-standard design have a greater impact on the gearbox, engine and slots - on which the leads are installed. Long-term increased load, especially at high speed, can lead to rapid wear of the splines. Or failure of the electric motor.

They do a good job of cleaning the windshield even at high speed on the highway. This applies to both normal precipitation in the form of rain or snow. So does dust and road dirt.
Brush sizes for VAZ cars: Priora, Lada Kalina, Largus
We have compiled a table that includes the dimensions of all popular cars produced by AvtoVAZ:
Checking the windshield wiper blades. There are 8 brands being tested.
Today, you can employ any national... excuse me, construction as a janitor: there are framed, frameless, hybrid... Their work is hard, after a year fatigue takes its toll - a replacement is needed. Fresh recruits tend to perform better. And advertising of new products does not hesitate to castigate those design elements that were presented as cutting-edge just yesterday: they say, how did they even go with it?
So which “janitor crew” should you prefer? Newfangled hybrid or familiar frameless? Bosch or Denso? More expensive or cheaper? As a result, we decided to hold a professional skills competition. The Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant volunteered to help us: it has a couple of stands for life testing of brushes - you can drive it for at least a year. But we limited the test period to four months: this roughly corresponds to a year’s mileage on a live car.
Each pair of windshield wipers was bought in triplicate - just like in Gaidaev’s comedy. The first - on the stand, the second - in the thermal chamber, the third - on the car for comparison: it was and is now.
Recommendations for selection
Let's consider several product manufacturers:
- Frameless Bosch Aerotwin. Belgian-made products are equipped with native fastenings; the main advantage is a long service life, as well as aerodynamics and the absence of extraneous sounds during operation.
- SWF VisioNext - also of the frameless type, equipped with a hook-type fastening. The products are manufactured by Valeo, which also produces many other types of components and parts for cars.
- Bosch Twin Spoiler frame brushes. Dimensions fit standard Granta windshield wipers. Despite the fact that the products are frame, they are quite reliable and have a long service life.
- Champion Aerovantage. This manufacturer has been on the market for quite a long time, during which time it has been able to win the trust of many of our compatriots. The products belong to the premium segment of the market and are equipped with a steel frame.
Brush sizes
- according to the technical manual, the size of the driver's wiper is 600 mm;
- The size of the passenger cleaner is 410 mm.
Alternatively, you can use longer windshield wipers:
- On the passenger side, you can install a longer wiper, its size should be no more than 450 mm, this will allow it to engage a larger amount of surface.
- As for the driver's brush, it is better not to experiment here. For example, if you install a 610 mm wiper, this will cause it to touch the car body during operation, and accordingly, a knock will appear (video author - TheLadaKalina 2).

The standard size of the Lada-Grant windshield wipers on the windshield, which is indicated in the instruction manual, is 60 cm on the driver’s side and 41 cm on the passenger’s side. At the same time, on the left (driver's side) the maximum size of the brushes is indicated. If you set it even 1 cm more, the wipers will knock and fail faster. On the right passenger side it is possible to increase the length of the brushes. The maximum length in this case will be 45 cm.
Most often, when replacing, drivers prefer to choose a longer wiper on the passenger side as it cleans the windshield better. The price in this case differs slightly.
Motorists approach the issue of selecting wipers for Lada individually. Some people don’t like blades that are too long, while others, on the contrary, are sure that the more area the windshield is cleaned, the better.
Most often, frameless wipers “Lada-Grants” are offered with a size of 60 x 45 cm. They are easy to use and have a longer service life.
The cheapest option is the frame brushes that come with a new car, but they don’t last long.
How to understand that the length of the wipers is chosen incorrectly:
- The glass is difficult to clean even after prolonged operation of the wipers. Ideally, the brush should clean the windshield in an average of three passes over it. The quality of cleaning decreases when the wiper is not pressed tightly against the glass.
- During operation, the brush touches the rubber seal on the windshield and cleans in stripes.
- During operation, the wipers (right and left) touch each other and slow down movement, and accordingly affect the driver’s viewing angle. This indicates that the wiper blades are too long. Sometimes long brushes can even touch the driver's door, which is accompanied by a knock.
- Wipers that are too small clean a small area of the windshield, reducing visibility through it, especially on the driver's side.
The length of the driver's windshield wiper is 600 mm. The length of the passenger wiper is 410 mm. The type of fastening is “hook” (hook in English).
Foreign manufacturers indicate the length of the windshield wiper in inches, so the suitable length for a passenger blade is 16″. Sixteen inches - 406 mm, probably because of this, brushes with lengths of both 40 and 41 cm can be installed on the right side of the Granta. If desired, you can install a passenger windshield wiper up to 45 cm, but I would recommend staying in the range of 400...410 mm.
I have added brush article numbers to the selection: they will help you find specific products in stores that sell auto parts (this is faster and, most likely, cheaper). Also, the articles will allow you to avoid compromises in the form of several centimeters in the length of the brushes - choose only what is made specifically for your car.
Life hack: how to remove wipers on a Priora car
Replacing standard wipers on Priora is carried out as quickly as possible, without tools:
- Raise the windshield wiper arm.
- Unclip the cover that secures the brush to the lever.
- Lower the brush and remove it from the hook of the lever.
- Place the new part on the hook instead of the previous one.
To replace the elements of the windshield wiper (together with the arms), do the following:
- Disconnect the negative from the battery;
- On the left under the hood, remove part of the sound insulation. Remove the expansion tank.
- Above the wheel arch, unscrew the nuts securing the tank (the “10” head will help).
- Unscrew the bolts of the upper fastening of the windshield wiper trapezoid, remove the special bracket.
- Disconnect the wires from the motor by first pressing the latch.
- Find the heater and unscrew the top mounting screw with a Phillips screwdriver.
- Use a marker to mark the position of the crank. Remove the trapeze and then the motors.
- To carry out dismantling on the right side, you will have to remove some of the units from the right - this way it is more convenient to carry out the work.
- Install the windshield wiper trapezoid in the reverse order.
To find where the Lada Priora wiper relay is located and where the fuse box is located, you will have to disassemble the car a little from the other side.
Above the driver's knee (just below the headlight on/off unit) there is a plastic part of the upholstery, which can be removed by unscrewing three bolts. Relays (cubic and rectangular) are hidden under it, and a little lower is the fuse box (dies with a plastic cover). A good fuse is one in which the metal coil is visible through the inspection hole in the cap. If there is no metal coil, then the device is faulty.
System design, wiper fuse, motor - article numbers
The Priora windshield wiper trapezoid is at rest until the driver moves the right steering column switch. The principle of their operation is also connected with the electronic control unit - when the wiper switch moves, the ECU of the Priora car receives a signal and then transmits a special command to the windshield wiper motor.
Its catalog number (standard) is 842.3730-10. The wiper motor drives the levers or, as they are otherwise called, the wiper arms (right - 21720520506600, left - 21720520506500), on which the brushes are attached, catalog number - 21720520507000. The force is transmitted through a special drive (catalog number 21700520501500).
Of course, the quality of cleaning depends on the size of the wiper blades, which ensures the desired operating speed of the levers and uninterrupted operation. The relay and fuse for the wipers are responsible for this. On Priora this is (catalog number - F11. Relay - K6). The switch is only activated when the entire system is operational.
Before removing the wipers on a Priora, it doesn’t hurt to diagnose the entire system. Perhaps the motors are “tired” and need to be replaced, but checking the fuses certainly hasn’t hurt anyone. On a Priora car, this doesn’t take long; remove the shield under the driver’s left foot where the block with all the fuses is located and check the integrity.
