Replacing the windshield wiper of Lada Kalina hatchback (VAZ Kalina) with your own hands

Some owners of budget Lada Kalina models have problems with the windshield wiper trapezoid due to its unexpected failure. This type of malfunction has become widespread, so we cannot ignore this issue, because the situation when the wipers stop functioning in the rain is not the most pleasant. And the windshield wiper needs repair.

Beginning of work

To install a windshield wiper relay with an adjustable pause with your own hands, you must first dismantle the wipers. Their design may vary significantly depending on the vehicle model. It is also worth noting that the brushes can be front or rear. However, regardless of their type, the relay is located on the vehicle glass.

If there is no wiring diagram for the wipers, you can find the installation location of the control unit yourself. To do this, you need to inspect the base of the brushes. Most often, in foreign and domestic cars, this element is screwed to the car body.

Most often, the relay is located near the hood release handle. When the part is found, it is dismantled. To do this you need to prepare a simple screwdriver. The old relay is removed very carefully. You must try not to scratch the body or damage other elements of the system. You also need to remove the wiper column.

When is it necessary to replace windshield wipers in Kalina?

Over time, owners of practical Lada Kalinas notice the appearance of brush marks on the surface of the windshield. Such “artifacts” create an obstacle to good visibility. In this situation, the indicated components will need to be replaced, and the trapezoid will likely need to be replaced

Many experienced owners advise purchasing frameless brushes, which, in their opinion, are able to “bravely” withstand temperature changes and can demonstrate a relatively longer service life of approximately 1.5 million cycles

Before replacing, you should understand the required size of the products. For Lada Kalina, you should purchase a driver's side brush with a length of 600 mm, and for the glass area opposite the passenger - 400 mm. For stern glass, the brush has a standard parameter of 360 mm. This wiper needs to be replaced much less frequently, since the intensity of its work is significantly lower compared to the front components.

Original sizes of brushes on Grant

The length of the driver's windshield wiper is 600 mm. The length of the passenger wiper is 410 mm. Fastening type - “hook” (in English hook).

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.

Finally, a comparison of prices for windshield wipers.

Do-it-yourself troubleshooting

When the drive works when the wipers are turned on, but the wipers do not move, repairing the trapezoid in such a situation will come down to replacing the bushings.

To do this, you need to remove the trapezoid, which is located under the plastic decorative trim under the windshield. Windshield wiper repairs are carried out in the following order:

If you do not remove the trapezoid, then when installing the bushings you can bend the hinges, which will lead to improper operation of the wipers. Therefore, it is better to remove the entire trapezoid and replace it not with weight, but with emphasis.

The destroyed bushing is immediately visible. It can be simply removed using wire cutters. To insert a new one, it and the locking ring must be steamed in hot water, otherwise it will not be possible to put it all on the hinge. Before putting on the locking ring, the bushing should be treated with lubricant (for example, lithol). All disassembly and assembly work takes a maximum of 40 minutes.

But if the central bushing “flies”, then most likely the entire windshield wiper mechanism will have to be replaced. Replacing a windshield wiper trapezoid is an even simpler task than the process of removing and installing new bushings. All work is carried out according to the algorithm described above.

Naturally, a complete replacement of the windshield wiper trapezoid will cost more than repairing the windshield wiper. But it will be more reliable. New ones are almost guaranteed to last longer than refurbished ones. Although some Lada owners claim that a rebuilt and repaired Kalina wiper trapezoid can easily last two years. Well, you should always base it on whether you are willing to spend time or money.

How to remove the trapezoid assembly

Before proceeding with the removal, it is necessary to remove the wiper arms, as well as the plastic lining at the very bottom of the windshield, which I wrote about in the instructions for replacing the Kalina cabin filter. There you will need just TORX T20.

After these pads are removed from the car, you can begin to unscrew the bolts and nuts securing the trapezium itself. First, unscrew the bolt on the left, as shown in the photo below:

Rear wiper size Kalina station wagon

To ensure high-quality cleaning of the windshield, it is recommended to replace the wipers with new ones every season, however, in practice, drivers do this much less often. But sooner or later everyone is faced with one question: “what is the permissible size of brushes on the Lada Granta/Lada Kalina 2.”

Why did we combine these two cars? The fact is that the second generation Lada Kalina 2 is produced only in hatchback and station wagon body styles, and the Lada Granta is considered a sedan in this line. That is why Lada Kalina 2 and Lada Granta have a lot in common, including the same windshield wiper blades (1118-5205072 and 1118-5205070), windshields (2190-5206012), etc.

The operating manual indicates the standard size of windshield wiper blades for Lada Granta and Kalina 2:

driver's (left) – 60 cm.
passenger – 41 cm.

We decided to find out what is the maximum possible length of the wipers of the Lada Granta/Kalina 2. It turns out:

If you install a 61 cm long driver's brush instead of the standard one, it will touch the body, creating a knock. Maximum – 60 cm.
But the passenger side allows you to install a larger brush, the maximum possible length is 45 cm.

Thus, the maximum size of the wiper blades of these two cars is 600x450 mm. With this length, both blades on top of the windshield will be at the same level. Unlike the standard one, the longer passenger brush will completely clean the glass in the upper part, without touching the body.

Let us remind you that these Lada cars have common not only windshield wipers, but also “diseases”, for example, both cars have a squeaking clutch pedal.

Windshield wiper blades, like any parts, gradually become faulty. At first glance, this is a simple, inconspicuous detail, but it performs an important function. Purchasing a product requires certain knowledge about the operation, characteristics, and models. The quality of visibility of the road lane depends on this choice when it is raining, snowing, or dirt flies out from under the cars ahead.

Measuring the length of the brushes

In order for the wipers to clear the windshield from one edge to the other, it is important to choose the right length. If your car has factory wipers, just measure them with a tape measure.

Take the time to measure both wipers, as some car models have different lengths. Typically, the driver's side has a longer brush. If the lengths are different, you will have to buy windshield wipers individually of different sizes. They are the same for many models. For example, the wipers on the Lada Priora are both 51 cm long. You can buy a set of two pieces. By the way, manufacturers indicate the length in centimeters and inches. For example, 17 inches is 43 cm.

What to do if your car has non-factory wipers? This happens when the previous owner of the car installed products that are not suitable in size. For example, if they are too long, then the edge of the rubber gets on the body and rides up - the brush does not fully adhere to the glass and does not clean it at all. And there are also short rubber bands that do not reach the edges of the windshield - dirty stains remain there and dry out with a gray frame. In such cases, it is better to find out the factory parameters of the brushes.

Based on the most popular requests from car enthusiasts, we have compiled two tables in which we have collected examples of car models with recommended parameters for windshield wiper blades. For convenience, we divided them into Russian-made cars and foreign cars.

The wipers stopped working: the most common reasons

Over time, every car owner is faced with the fact that the wipers suddenly stop functioning. Problems that arise reveal themselves either by a complete stop or by the appearance of extraneous sounds during operation (for example, creaking).

The mechanical part of the windshield wiper is usually very reliable. Therefore, usually wipers may not work for the following reasons:

Excessive wear and tear on moving parts of the system or lack of lubrication in required areas. In order for the windshield wiper mechanism to work properly and not fail for unknown reasons, inspection and maintenance are required, albeit not too often.
Improper use of wipers. As an example, in the winter season, before turning them on, you need to unfasten them from the glass (ideally, melt the ice on them). Failure to do this may result in fuse, motor, or drive rod failure during startup.

As a rule, the cause of windshield wiper failure is often a malfunction of the electrical part of the device:

The hum of the motor is not heard, the wipers do not work (they do not move in any of the operating modes). In this case, the cause may be a malfunction of the following elements: wiring, connectors, switches or gear motor.
The wipers work, but very slowly. Most likely, the reason is also in the gear motor. The drive mechanisms may have become oxidized and rusted. Usually they need to be cleaned and lubricated or checked for correct assembly of the mechanism.
When the intermittent mode is on, the windshield wipers operate continuously. The reason is most likely a broken relay, which will have to be replaced since it is not repairable. If the wipers are working and the sound of the motor is heard, you can also diagnose a malfunction of the breaker relay.
You can hear the engine running, but the wipers don't move. In this case, the reason is most likely a break in the rod or contact elements.
The windshield wiper arm does not work. The cause of the malfunction may be oxidation or damage to the contact elements of the traction rod.
The windshield wipers do not work correctly - they do not move to their original positions. The cause of the breakdown in this case may be improper installation, problems in the contact group of the gear motor, wear or shearing of the splines on the brush drives.
The wipers do not work when the washer fluid is applied to the windows. The cause may be a broken steering column switch or defective wiring and electrical connections.

Reasons for mechanical windshield wiper failure include:

Self-unscrewing (full or partial) of the nut connecting the crank to the gear axle. Such a defect is easy to determine when the wipers are on, since the gear motor is working, but the brushes do not move.
The nut securing the wiper arm is loose or its thread has been stripped. The reason may be incorrect installation of the leash in the initial position. Avoiding this is quite simple - you need to tighten the nuts with the required torque, and before final tightening you need to put the windshield wipers in the desired position.
The wipers do not clean the glass due to a poor fit. The simplest reason is wear of the brushes themselves. The brushes simply need to be replaced. The second most common reason is poor adherence of the brushes to the glass due to mechanical interference. An option to eliminate it is to clean the wiper of foreign objects that interfere with normal pressure. But if none are found, then it is necessary to inspect the wiper mechanism, disassemble it, find and replace parts with a lot of wear.

From the above it follows that the reason that the wipers do not work can be either a malfunction of the electric motor or wiring, or a failure of the mechanical component of the vehicle unit in question. The trapezoid, the mechanism for driving and moving the wipers, is very often prone to breakdowns. Read further in the article for what to do when your windshield wiper breaks or does not work.

If necessary, we replace the gears of the gear motor and clean the contacts of the self-stop mechanism.

We assemble and install the gear motor on the purifier bracket in the reverse order.

To install the gear motor shaft in its original position, we put the wire terminal on the “negative” terminal of the battery.

We connect the block of wires to the block of the gear motor and turn it on using the steering column switch, then turn it off and wait until the electric motor shaft stops.

In this position of the gear motor shaft, we install the crank along the previously applied mark.

We carry out further installation of the purifier in the reverse order.

For Lada Granta, Kalina, Priora

The resistor shown in the photo is responsible for the number of strokes. Our task is to replace (using a soldering iron) it with a resistor with lower resistance. To get two sweeps of the wipers after washing the windshield, it is enough to solder a resistor with a resistance of 47 to 68 kOhm (0.25 W). To make three swings - from 70 kOhm. The result of the modernization on video:

It is worth noting that on sale you can find a wiper relay with advanced capabilities:

There is a pause adjustment, that is, you can set any time between sweeps of the wipers;
Three strokes after the washer, instead of four (there is no problem with the wipers squeaking on the glass);
After the washer, the first stroke is delayed.

However, replacing a resistor in a relay yourself will cost only 5 rubles, and a functional relay will be 70-100 times more expensive.

Video “Detailed instructions for repairing an electric motor at home”

A detailed guide on the topic of repairing the wiper motor is given in the video below (the author of the video is the Auto Electrician HF channel).

The windshield cleaning system on your car should be serviced periodically. This is necessary for its proper operation, because the system can fail at the most inopportune moment. To prevent this from happening, you need to follow a few simple recommendations. Let's look at how the wiper motor is serviced and repaired, what are the weak points of the system and what to pay attention to first.

When do you need to change wipers on Kalina?

It often happens that the wiper drive system works, but marks remain on the windshield that interfere with normal visibility. In this case, the wipers need to be replaced. Previously, domestic cars were equipped with brushes, into the frame of which a rubber part was inserted, which cleaned the glass. But recently frameless brushes have been used.

They work better, and their resistance to different weather conditions is higher. Although frame brushes are cheaper, frameless brushes will last longer. They can operate efficiently from 1 to 1.5 million cycles.

Let's sum it up

Such an important process as replacing wipers, or when changing the windshield wiper trapezoid on a LADA Kalina car, is a very simple undertaking. There is no need for special devices or fancy tools. The brushes are removed by opening the locks.

Repairing or replacing a part such as a windshield wiper trapezium appears as a more responsible job, but it is not capable of causing difficulties for an inexperienced owner of a Lada Kalina. In such situations, do not hesitate to take action.

Possible causes of the malfunction and ways to eliminate them

In practice, the most common malfunction that potassium dispensers encounter is intermittent operation of the purifiers. The repair in this case comes down to replacing the system fuse, which is located in the mounting block on the left under the steering wheel. Also, the reason may be the inoperability of the relay located there - if it fails, it needs to be replaced (video author - Andrey Nikitkin).

If the wipers on Kalina do not work at all, it is necessary to diagnose the electric motor. Wiring is supplied to the motor, so first you need to diagnose the “ground” terminal, it is located next to the adsorber. If necessary, turn it off and thoroughly clean the contact area. If the performance of the motor cannot be restored, you will need to disassemble the system and replace this element. If after replacing the brushes still do not work, you need to check the steering column switch - perhaps the reason lies there.

If all these steps do not produce results, you need to check the gearbox and trapezoid; most likely, you will have to change one of these components. If the brushes function normally, but water does not flow onto the glass, and the washer reservoir is full, you need to check the functionality of the reservoir motor.

Sorry, there are no surveys available at this time.

Price issue

The cost of brushes will vary depending on the store you buy them from, as well as their manufacturer. The cheapest, frame version from the manufacturer Bosch will cost about 900 rubles, from Denso - 1200 rubles. As for frameless devices, the minimum price for a set from Bosch or SWF is 1,500 rubles, from the manufacturer TRICO Neoform - about 1,900 rubles.

What are the causes of breakdowns?

The most likely factor causing the wipers to stop is the blown working element in the fuse. Eliminating this malfunction involves performing the simplest action - replacing the fuse link. It is located in the corresponding mounting block, located on the left side of the steering column. It will be useful to stock up on a fuse diagram, which will help you easily find the insert we need.

When the purifiers stopped functioning intermittently, the control relay most likely became unusable. This component is also located in the previously designated block. When a relay fails, it is replaced with a new analogue. However, we note that according to numerous reviews from owners of domestic small cars, certain statistics have been formed indicating the small number of cases of breakdowns of this kind.

The most common cause is the destruction of bushings. They are made of plastic, so they do not boast a long service life, which reaches a maximum of three years. The process of destruction of elements is primarily influenced by the quality indicator of the material. Here, the only effective measure is replacement, and to carry it out you should acquire a repair kit, which is available at a specialized retailer. In this case, the trapezoid is replaced.

If the owner of a Lada Kalina discovers that the wiper drive is not working, this indicates that the unit’s motor has failed. In order to verify this fact, you will need to make sure that voltage is supplied to the motor contacts from the on-board network. This procedure is easily performed using a regular tester. If there is power, then we definitely change the motor.

Lada Kalina Hatchback -=First car=- › Logbook › The wipers do not work. Problem with gear motor

Hello everyone! I haven’t visited Drive2 for a very long time. I confess, it’s my fault (Several changes have been made to the machine in a few months =) I will write about everything in more detail in separate blog articles.

So, a serious problem suddenly overtook me. I was driving along the highway, it was raining, I turn on the wipers, they do one cycle and freeze forever... With an astonished look, I try to revive the wipers, but they are silent. I pull over to the side of the road, the first thing I do is check the transmission - everything is ok. I open the hood, visually the rack and the motor are in perfect order... thoughtfully tugging at the contacts near the engine, I took out a cloth, wiped the glass and drove quietly to my destination. I’ll tell you honestly, friends, driving in the rain with non-working windshield wipers is an extreme thing))) God forbid, someone should experience this for themselves.

Old windshield wiper motor

When I arrived home, the first thing I did was contact an electrician. He took the electric motor, simply disassembled it, reassembled it and, connecting it to power, saw that it was alive. I happily put it in its rightful place and went about my business. The next day it rains again. I turn on the wipers, they work very slowly, do 2 cycles and die again. This time I already knew roughly what the problem was, so I didn’t stop, and having already practiced extreme driving without wipers in the rain, I went to an electrician. He was again “glad” to see me with a gear motor in my hands. He took it apart again, replaced all the brushes, cleaned the contacts and the engine came to life again. When the electrician returned this engine to me, he said the following phrase: “If it dies again, it’s better to buy a new one.” Well, the man looked at nothing - after 2 weeks the motor died again. It was decided to replace this piece of iron.

New gear motor, which, unfortunately, did not fit.

I arrive at the local Phaeton auto parts store. I’m buying a gear motor for Kalina for 1,900 rubles, the toad, of course, is choking, but there’s nothing to do, you can’t drive like that in the rain. At the delivery of goods they give you a motor without a box, documents and even with a small scratch on the lid. When I asked where the equipment was, the manager replied that the supplier brought them in this form and offered a bag. D When I arrive home, the first thing I do is run to change the motor. I remove the rack, remove the motor, install a new one, connect it to the connectors, and simultaneously check its functionality. I had just started to screw the engine to the mounts when I decided to check whether the rack would fit the new engine, since it differs slightly in size from the factory one. I connect the rail and see that it does not fit the slots at all. There were ideas on how to make it fit, but reason prevailed over flights of fancy and I decided to change the gear motor in the store. 15 minutes later I’m already approaching the store’s checkout counter. As soon as the seller saw me, he asked: “Well, didn’t it fit?” I really wanted to tell him a lot about the low-quality spare parts, but I only said a modest: “Yes, can I replace it?” The store manager said that my case is not the first and that gear motors come from the factory with two types of splines - large and small. I came across just a small one, but they didn’t have a large one in stock, so I wrote a statement and my money was returned.

A box with a new gear motor =) You can immediately see that this is the original.

I drove home upset, but on the way I noticed a small store called “Samara”. I go there, there is a young girl at the checkout who happily helped me choose the right gear motor. Moreover, I got it in a branded box, with quality control marks, a guarantee and instructions for connecting, and even for 1,700 rubles. I was extremely happy when the motor fit without any problems. This is how, for relatively little money and in 3 hours of total time, I got rid of the problem with non-working wipers.

Comparison of two motors - on the right is the factory one, on the left is the new Samara one.

PS, I saw many topics on the forums with the problem of the wipers not returning to their original position. In fact, the solution is very simple - you need to adjust the splines connecting the rack and the gearmotor. You need to let the motor rotate its axis a full cycle and then insert the rack in the desired position and that’s it, the problem will be solved.

Rubber seals

Gaskets and seals are made of rubber. Over time, they lose their positive properties. Due to temperature changes, they become tanned and crack; this also happens due to an aggressive environment. For this simple reason, seals need to be changed periodically.

If you do not do this, it is quite possible that the device will fail. The next time you service the glass cleaning system, it is advisable to change the seals and rubber gaskets.

Don't forget that the wiper blades themselves are also rubber and should also be checked regularly. Often replacement is performed once a year. If the brushes are made of silicone and of high quality, then they can last a couple of years, but hardly more. This is due, again, to temperature changes.

Next Why Lada Kalina won't start

Removing and installing the Kalina windshield wiper motor

The motor itself is connected to the wiper trapezoid by 3 bolts and one nut. First, unscrew these three bolts with a 10mm head:

And then the nut that secures the trapezoid lever to the motor shaft:

And after that you can remove the motor, since there are no more fasteners:

If necessary, we replace the motor and trapezoids, or buy the entire structure assembled and install it in the reverse order. During removal, it is advisable to note the position of the trapezoid lever relative to the body, so that later you can install everything exactly the same! The price of a trapezoid assembly with a motor for Kalina is about 2,000 rubles, and individually these parts are almost equivalent.

Many Lada owners are faced with the fact that the Kalina windshield wiper trapezoid fails. It turns out this problem is quite common. Either the wipers work slowly or they touch the side pillar, although the length of the brushes is normal. And it also happens that right on the road during rain, the glass will stand in the center and the windshield wipers on the Kalina will not work.

Modernization of wiper arms for Lada Kalina 2

It is not always possible to buy a wiper arm for the first Kalina; in this case, the design can be modified. It is necessary to remove the leash and tension spring. Then drill a new hole in the metal bar of the lever closer to the brush. We install the spring using a screwdriver, clinging it to the new hole. Now the tension will be stronger, which will allow the rear wiper to clean the glass better.

By the way, another way to solve the problem of poor rear window cleaning is to install a frameless wiper. Let us remind you that the front wiper blades can be installed in larger sizes.

Car windshield wipers, commonly referred to as “windshield wipers,” are one of the consumable parts of all cars. They serve to remove water and dirt from the surface of the windshield, and sometimes also the rear window, that interfere with visibility. Since blades from different cars are not fundamentally different from each other, replacing windshield wipers is done the same way for all cars. Let's look at how to change them with your own hands.

What to look for when choosing?

It is no secret that the level of visibility to the rear depends on the efficiency of the brush, which is especially important when maneuvering in cramped conditions and in bad weather. When choosing, you should lean toward high-quality branded products that will not subsequently emit an annoying squeak when rubbing against the glass and do not have to think about how to remove and replace the wiper. You should also inspect the integrity of the working element of the brush, which initially should not have cracks or breaks. An important role is played by the force with which the rear wiper is pressed to the surface of the glass, as well as the material from which the product is made.
