Choosing windshield wiper blades for the VAZ-2110: sizes, types and shapes

The size of the wipers on the VAZ - 2110 on the left and right is the same. However, there are options for purchasing non-standard analogs with different lengths. Also, windshield wipers become unusable; you need to find a high-quality replacement for them as quickly as possible. If you neglect the choice of brushes, the visibility in bad weather will not be one hundred percent. Which will lead to undesirable consequences on the road.

Size of wipers for old VAZ models

Most older VAZ models use a standard blade length of 33 cm. For the VAZ 2110 windshield wiper, as well as the “nines” - the same as on the 2114. Although they are interchangeable, it is still recommended to buy original blades - they are optimized for downforce . Their mounts are identical.

By the way, it is worth noting that for many models the size of the windshield wiper blades is indicated not in centimeters, but in inches. Eg:

• series 14 are the same ones that are suitable for vases 2107, 2105, 2106 and the like, the design of which is taken from a “penny”;
• series 18 - suitable for Niva (VAZ 2121);
• series 20 - standard for the “fourteenth” model and so on.

To simplify the calculation, you just need to remember that 1 inch is 2.54 cm. Using a simple formula, the length of the required brush is calculated.

If you place a longer windshield wiper in front of the driver than in front of the passenger, then when the water is removed, there will be no thin strip left on the glass. If you install two equally long windshield wipers, it will be there (but there will be no place on the sides that is uncleaned from dirt).

Some manufacturers, by the way, still produce so-called frameless wipers for VAZ. They are considered the best, but cost a little more. Their advantage is a tighter clamp and less restriction of visibility for the driver. But such windshield wipers wear out much faster. As for the material, the best choice is a special rubber for glass. Silicone, in principle, is not bad either, but it does a worse job of cleaning dirt without moisturizing. And during operation it produces an unpleasant “glass” creak.

Finding Electrical Problems

Each owner of a VAZ-2110 involuntarily paid attention to the clicks coming from the left side and the barely audible noise from the gearmotor when the windshield wiper was running. Therefore, at the initial stage of searching for the reasons why the VAZ-2110 wipers do not work, you need to check the performance of this particular product.

If the electric motor does not show any signs of life, you need to check the fuse located on the mounting block, which is located on the left side, under the headlight switch lever. If the fuse is in working order, this indicates a malfunction in the electric drive feeding system.

A multimeter will help determine the problem area in the circuit. You need to check the circuit from the fuse to the gearmotor, from it to the hydraulic corrector.

Naturally, it is necessary to check the fuse itself. If zero is constantly lit on the multimeter screen and a not very pleasant sound signal is heard, then the circuit is working properly. When several numbers appear on the screen, without sound, we move on - we move on to inspecting the terminals and wires.

You can troubleshoot the problem as follows:

1. Clean and tighten all terminals that were checked with a multimeter.
2. Replace wiring.
3. Install a new lever on the steering column that turns on the windshield wiper.

Relay K2 (5243747), located in the mounting block, is responsible for the operation of the windshield wiper. If an intermittent mode is not observed during system operation, then it is time to change the relay. Under these circumstances, the hydraulic corrector also needs to be checked. If the windshield wiper relay has a defect, it will work wonderfully in the third extreme position of the right steering column stalk. A faulty relay does not stop working in all cases. Windshield wipers can function perfectly if they are turned on in position 1, but the fact that there is a defect and the relay is not working correctly will be indicated by pauses between sweeps of the blades. Often the relay simply goes away, and the wipers and heater do not work at the same time. In this case, you usually need to tighten the contacts.

In searching for the reasons why the wipers on the VAZ 2110 stopped working, you also need to check the limit switch located on the cover of the gear motor. It is also advisable to clean the contacts from oxide and bend the contact petals.

Rear window wiper

What size wiper blades are needed for the rear window? Most models are equipped with standard ones - 33 cm. It is possible to replace them with longer variations of brushes, but you need to take into account that the electric motor is less efficient. Accordingly, if you use a wiper that is too long, it may jam, for example, if snow has stuck to the glass. Frameless wipers should not be installed at the rear - they are simply not needed there. Their only advantage is resistance to freezing (and only if the rubber is frost-resistant). As a last resort, you can always reverse using the side mirrors.

By the way, on the VAZ 2115 from the factory, wipers with a blade length of 42 cm are installed on the rear window. It should be understood that the shorter the wiper, the better it cleans the grip area. That is why it is recommended to set it shorter than recommended by the manufacturer. The optimal option, according to many car enthusiasts, is better used on the VAZ 2110. There, the length of the rear windshield wiper is only 27 cm. Yes, it cleans practically nothing on the sides, but the central part is always well cleaned. They can also be installed on the VAZ 2115.

Device design

First, let's try to understand how the windshield wiper circuit on the VAZ 2110 works and what components form a solid unit called a windshield wiper.

How to maintain and replace brushes?

To replace the windshield wiper blade 2110, just bend the rocker arm and then unfasten the rubber band. The frame structure itself must be lubricated with silicone oil.

For servicing the rear, the same rules are used. But frameless wipers have an initially curved shape.

The fastening there is done directly along the rocker arm.

Maintenance of brushes consists solely of timely cleaning of salts and derivatives of the washer fluid (dyes may remain after it - in cheap variations). This should be done either with a special solvent or with a solution of citric acid (immerse for 10 - 15 minutes, then wipe thoroughly with a rag). If even after this the brush does not clean the glass properly, it is time to replace it, since it has literally worn down to the ground. At the same time, the pressing force decreases, and the shape of the brush may differ from the initial one.

In general, which wipers are better is up to each individual to decide. With length everything is very clear. It should be remembered that if there are cracks in the glass, the wipers will wear out very quickly, and in order to increase their wear life, the rocker arm should be lubricated with silicone oil in a timely manner.

Refinement stages

It is easy to modify or replace wipers. To do this you need to take several sequential steps:

• Disconnect the negative cable from the battery;
• Pull the wiper towards you;
• Remove the existing brushes;
• If there is a decorative trim, remove it;
• Unscrew the mounting bolt, thereby removing the old wiper;
• Compare the dimensions of the old and new cleaner;
• Ideally, the new device should not exceed the old one by more than 20 millimeters;
• Reverse the assembly procedure.

As you can see, changing windshield wipers is not difficult. But with the repair procedure, everything is somewhat different. But following the instructions, even an inexperienced VAZ 2110 owner will be able to do everything with his own hands.

What kind of wiper blades should be installed on VAZ cars

SegaMega New Member

Listed below are the sizes of wipers installed on VAZ and LADA cars of different models. Their sizes vary, so when replacing old windshield wiper blades, it is important to choose the exact size that is included in your model.

What happens if the brushes are of a different size?

The thing is that wipers of different sizes also have different radii of the pressing blade, which depends on the curvature of the windshield. For example, if you install brushes that are larger than those recommended by the manufacturer, then they will press less well and their effectiveness will drop significantly.

If their size is larger, then during operation they may touch the edge of the windshield and rise above the glass, reducing the service life of the windshield wiper mechanism.

If their size is smaller, there will no longer be such a problem as above, but the degree of glass cleaning also decreases. This happens because the wipers do not clean the entire surface of the glass, leaving dirty places in its center and along the edges, because they simply cannot reach these remote places.

Fuses, motor, presence of voltage at terminals

I would recommend looking for a breakdown in this order. If the fuse is broken, the windshield washer will not work.

Initially it is 20 Amps and yellow in color. But, as often happens, he could have already been replaced.

The fuse is in the mounting block numbered F9.

Checking the wiper motor

Next, you need to check for voltage on the windshield washer motor. The motor is located under the hood. If there is voltage, then the motor is faulty. And given your words that everything was getting worse and the wipers were already working, most likely it was just “dying” and is now completely broken!

If there is no voltage, then you need to check the wiring and the steering column switch. You can apply voltage to the motor directly to make sure it is working.

Brush sizes for VAZ 2114, 2113 and 2115:

On these models, both brushes have the same dimensions and their length is 510 mm. But, it is allowed to install brushes on the passenger side with a size of 510 mm, and opposite the driver with a size of 530 mm. Why different sizes? It’s just that if you put large ones of the same size, this will lead to the fact that a watery strip may appear on the glass when they work together. The rear viewing window is also equipped with wipers that use 300 mm blades. Here the dimensions are not so critical and can be easily replaced with 330 mm.

Replacement

It is better to carry out replacement in a garage. The procedure includes:

• the wiper arm must be moved to a vertical position, perpendicular to the plane of the glass being cleaned;

• it is necessary to carefully squeeze the plastic mounting body on both sides and then move the brush away from the bend of the hook with rocking movements;

After which the brush is simply pulled out of its seat. It is quite difficult to damage the leash. At the same time, you need to be careful with plastic parts. Especially if you need to reuse old brushes in the future. In the cold, plastic becomes especially fragile and brittle. It is advisable to avoid damaging it.

Installing the brushes takes no more than 15 minutes. The procedure is simple, but requires accuracy from the driver. It is important to avoid impacts and unnecessary movements. Otherwise, the mount will be damaged and will have to be purchased separately.

Choosing windshield wiper blades for the VAZ-2110: sizes, types and shapes

Windshield wipers, or simply “windshield wipers,” are a very important part of any car. As its name implies, it allows you to remove water flows during rain, snow and dirt from the windshield (and not only). All this can seriously block the driver’s view, significantly reducing the level of safety on the road. Therefore, if when you turn on the windshield wipers, dirty streaks remain on the glass, if visibility improves only insignificantly, it is necessary to replace these very “wipers”. How to do it? What to look for in the process of selecting and purchasing new parts? You can find answers to these and other questions in our article.

Electromechanical problems

An electric motor that shows no signs of life, no click and a blown fuse F5 - all these problems indicate faults in the gearmotor, which can be eliminated by replacing one of the components:

• dirty collector in the electric motor rotor;
• brushes that ensure continuous contact in the motor;
• burnt collector;
• broken armature winding.

There are other options: the electric motor does not want to work, but there is a click, or the fuse blows. In this case, you need to return the left lever to its base position as quickly as possible, since these problems indicate a short circuit in the electric motor. It needs to be completely changed. With the same problems, there may be minor faults: brushes frozen to the glass, or wipers touching body parts. Under such circumstances, you need to carefully separate the brushes or straighten their mounting arms.

Choosing the most suitable type of windshield wipers for the VAZ-2110

First of all, you will need to decide on the type of windshield wipers for the VAZ-2110 car, choose a product that is completely suitable for you both in terms of purpose and design features. The modern market offers several main types of wipers:

• frame windshield wipers. They are deservedly considered the most reliable and are popular among VAZ-2110 owners due to their high operational efficiency and affordable cost. A feature of their design is the presence of a steel or polymer frame, as well as a bayonet or hook fastening, with the help of which the “wipers” are secured to the lever of the corresponding mechanism. It is best to use these products in the warm season, since in winter the frame may become clogged, which will negatively affect the operation of the device;
• winter wipers that are ideal for use even in severe frost. At the same time, many car enthusiasts note such disadvantages as high noise levels at low temperatures and an almost complete lack of efficiency when turned on at high speed. The last disadvantage is due to the fact that the air flow removes the purifiers too far from the glass and does not adhere tightly to it;
• frameless brushes made of natural rubber, which, firstly, fits perfectly to the glass and can clean it of any dirt, and secondly, easily copes with the aggressive effects of even very low temperatures. Products can also be equipped with various types of fastenings, which greatly facilitates their installation;
• universal brushes that can be used both in winter and summer, successfully cleaning glass from any dirt.

When choosing any of the types of windshield wipers listed above, be sure to pay attention to the manufacturer; under no circumstances buy designs from little-known Chinese brands, as their quality may be at a very low level.

Selecting windshield wipers by size

When choosing, not only the type, but also the size of the windshield wiper blades for the VAZ-2110 is of great importance, so we will dwell on this issue in great detail. Many of our car enthusiasts try to be guided by simple logic - the larger the wipers, the better. We are sure that this opinion is wrong and are ready to prove our point of view.

How to determine the size of windshield wiper blades? To answer this question, you can either look at the specifications of your car, where this data is indicated, or measure the wipers yourself with a tape measure or ruler. You also need to measure the glass itself - this will help you comply with the following basic rules:

• wipers cannot extend beyond the glass;
• Under no circumstances should the brushes adhere to each other, as this will prevent them from properly performing their main functions.

As practice shows, the optimal size of windshield wiper blades for VAZ-2110 cars is 51 centimeters - on both the driver and passenger sides of the windshield. In this case, you can vary this parameter, but by increasing it for one “janitor”, you will have to reduce the size for another.

If you install three cleaners on your car at once, their dimensions should be as follows:

• for the windshield on the driver's side, the length of the brush cannot exceed 50 centimeters;
• a 450 mm long wiper is mounted on the passenger side;
• The rear window uses a windshield wiper whose size is 30 centimeters.

Remember that strict adherence to the requirements for the size of windshield wiper blades allows you to ensure their flawless operation, a tight fit to the glass and high efficiency in cleaning it from dirt in any weather. Therefore, do not engage in amateur activities, trying to increase the length of the wipers.

Current sizes of VAZ windshield wiper blades. All models.

With the arrival of the autumn-winter period, the driver faces many problems: checking the technical condition of the engine, switching to winter tires, protecting the body from corrosion. But the most important task is to ensure good visibility. Snow, rain, slush - all this settles on the windshield, and if the wipers cannot cope with cleaning, then driving turns into complete torture.

Owners of VAZ family cars can choose from a wide range of windshield wiper blades. Along with classic frame wipers, frameless wipers, which practically do not freeze to the glass, are also in great demand today. In order for the brush to clean the glass surface well, it is made of frost-resistant rubber on a graphite base.

It is also important to choose the right size brushes. If you choose larger or smaller brushes, this can lead to the fact that they will cling to each other, knock on the racks, and uncleaned streaks will remain on the glass. Size information is indicated in the catalogue.

Let's try to figure out what size windshield wiper blade is needed for a particular VAZ model.

Lada – VAZ 2101 – VAZ (LADA) 2107

Zhiguli is the first name that many still use. This generation is considered to be a VAZ classic. Compact sedans and station wagons were produced with rear-wheel drive, and the visual difference between these models was the shape of the headlights: round (VAZ 2101 and 2102), dual (2103, 2106), rectangular (2104, 2105, 2107).

The dimensions of the windshield and rear window are the same for all these models; the recommended size of the windshield wiper blades on both the driver and passenger sides is 330 millimeters. However, as many car enthusiasts note, larger brushes - 350 millimeters - are quite suitable here.

Domestic class “A” hatchback OKA-1111

"OKA" was equipped with one front windshield wiper blade and one rear one. Dimensions - from 325 mm to 525 mm.

LADA Kalina and Kalina 2
