And since this usually happens to me, nothing foreshadowed trouble... Having traveled 500 km a day to Stary Drozhzhany, which is near Ulyanovsk, and back. I thought that nothing bad would happen. I took a tablet for my dad to such distant places...
So, when I arrived in Kazan, I decided that I needed to get deflectors on the doors to prevent air from blowing into my ears.
But my hands grow from the “right place”, I can! Somehow my driver's windshield wiper is not tight enough, I need to tighten it, I thought and tore off the fucking pin along with the nut...
Now about the main thing. Replacing the trapezoid. Next there will be a LOT OF LETTERS! AND PICTURES!
Replacing the trapezoid is carried out exactly as described in the vehicle's operating instructions. With one caveat. Guys, don’t change it in the evening after the words of the sales assistant at the auto parts store: “fuck it, it can be easily removed.” This is wrong. I took it off in the evening, installed it (wrongly), then took it off in the morning, installed it (not correctly according to the instructions), then went to the service center and they adjusted it.
To begin with, after removing the trapezoid, do not remove the coupling nut (which is 13). You need to remember the position of the walker and install it exactly as you had it. Now that you haven't made my mistakes, let's go!
Remove the negative terminal!
We remove the wipers, then remove the Jabot (according to the instructions or from memory), and remove the strap from the expansion tank.
Use a 10mm wrench to unscrew the right nut (on the passenger side) so you can’t get under it (my head).
Then carefully remove the motor power plug. Carefully (with swearing and merry dancing) take out the trapeze. She comes out dadada...
Attention, when replacing the trapezoid (only if the motor does not turn!), remember (!take a photo!) the position of the coupling when removing.
And assemble the new trapezoid only in this position.
I assembled it as per the instructions and my wipers made one full stroke and another half stroke... These are the hands...
In general, the second time I got fucked up and went. I went to normal guys with straight arms. To a car service. By the way, besides this, they do a lot more. They adjusted the movement of the wipers for me for 200 rubles, they didn’t even remove the trapezoid, but I put everything back together myself.
Have smooth roads and fewer cameras on them!

Security elements
Since the wiper drive is electric, its circuit is protected by a fuse. It is located in the main mounting block and is designated F-5. If the wipers of the VAZ-2110 do not work, it is better to always start troubleshooting with it.
The frequency of brush strokes in intermittent mode is controlled by a separate relay. It is also located in the main mounting block and is designated K-2. If the frequency of operation of the “tens” wipers is disrupted, it must be replaced. Trying to diagnose or repair the relay is impractical, since it costs a little more than 200 rubles.

Brushes
Standard VAZ-2110 brushes consist of three elements:
The frame of the device is made of metal and has a composite structure, which includes one main rail and two additional ones located on it. The brush is made of soft rubber. In the middle of its working surface there is a longitudinal protrusion (keel), which, in fact, cleans the glass. The brush is attached to two additional frame slats, fitting into their grooves. To ensure that the wiper slides easily across the glass, some manufacturers coat its working part with graphite.
In the center of the main rail there is a fastening mechanism with which it is attached to the leash. It is a guide into which the hook of the leash hooks and a plastic latch that secures the connection.
What are wipers and when should they be changed?
Windshield wipers are a device in which a metal arm is connected to a rubber wiper surface . The wiper blade is secured to the lever with a special holder with a plastic plug. They come in two varieties: framed and frameless.
Frame brushes have moving parts called rocker arms. They hold the cleaning surface on the windshield. The fundamental disadvantage of such “wipers” is the presence of hinged joints, which are vulnerable to the ingress of snow and ice, which disables the wipers. In addition, the rubber brush often does not adhere tightly to the glass, which makes its work ineffective.
Wiper frame design
Frameless wipers have a spring instead of rocker arms, which presses the blade to the surface of the windshield. Such windshield wipers look more organic in appearance, clean the glass better and do not wear out so quickly. You can recognize them by the characteristic curve of their shape. Windshield wipers of this type are installed on most modern cars and have the following advantages:
- They look much better.
- Can be used on glass of any curvature;
- They do not impair the aerodynamic properties of the body.
- Less sensitive to icing.
- Does not interfere with visibility when folded
Frameless design wiper
At the same time, it is not possible to replace only the rubber part in such “wipers”; you will have to change the whole thing. Often, a frameless windshield wiper needs to be selected for a specific car model based on the length of the blade and the curvature of the windshield.
When to change wipers
The service life of the “tenth” brushes is 500 thousand work cycles. If you translate those numbers into the area they could clear, that's 50 football fields. But, be that as it may, it is recommended to change wipers once a year. And it is advisable to do this before the onset of cold weather. Naturally, the wipers of the VAZ-2110 may lose their functionality even earlier. The reason for this could be, for example, damage due to freezing to the windshield or deformation caused by constant exposure to the sun. In such cases, the brushes also need to be changed.
Dimensions
Standard "tens" wipers have a standard length of 51 cm, and it is the same for both the blade located on the driver's side and the one located on the passenger side. But it is not necessary to adhere to this standard. On the VAZ-2110 you can install wipers of the following lengths (driver side/passenger side, cm):
- 50/50;
- 51/48;
- 53/50;
- 53/51;
- 53/53;
- 55/45;
- 60/50;
- 63/48.
There is no need to follow any advice when choosing the length of the brushes. If only after installation they do not block the view and do not cling to the protective grille.
Refinement stages
Wiring
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.
Which brushes to choose
Having decided on the size of your wipers, do not rush to buy the first model you come across. The fact is that the auto parts market today is filled with fakes. By skimping on some 100 rubles, you can buy wipers that will work effectively for several days, and after that they will begin to creak and let water through. It is better to give preference to well-known manufacturers and make the purchase in a specialized store. As for the design, it’s up to you to decide whether to purchase “frameless” or regular ones. The main thing is that the fasteners fit.
Replacing wipers VAZ-2110
The process of replacing wipers on a “ten”, as well as on any other car, is very simple and will not take you more than five minutes. And you don’t need any tools for this. The work order is as follows:
- cover the windshield with thick cloth to protect it from possible damage;
- bend the wiper arm away from the windshield;
- lift the latch of the fastening mechanism upward, rotate the frame 90 degrees around the guide and slide it down, removing the leash from the hook;
- We insert the guide of the new wiper into the fastening hook and push it into the end of the bend until the latch clicks.

How to care for your wipers to extend their lifespan
To ensure that your wipers last as long as possible, follow these tips:
- Wipe dirt-stained brushes with a clean, damp cloth or sponge. This way you will not only get rid of dirt, but also protect the glass from scratches.
- If the front glass is covered with a layer of dust and the car washer fluid has run out, do not turn on the cleaner. This will also cause scratches on the glass.
- In winter, especially during snowfalls, do not leave the wipers leaning against the windshield - they will freeze. It is better to raise the leashes so that the brushes are suspended.
- If the windshield wipers are still frozen, do not under any circumstances try to tear them off by force. This will only damage the rubber band. Start the engine, turn the heater on to blow the windshield and wait until it defrosts.
- You should also not knock ice off the frame or brush. Gently bend the elastic until it peels off in small pieces.
- When replacing wipers, place some thick cloth on the windshield. This will protect it in case the spring-loaded leash slips out of your hands.
The trapezium of the wipers transmits the force from the engine to the windshield wiper arms. The best quality of windshield cleaning will be only if all elements of the wipers are in working order. If the trapezoid hinges are clogged with dirt or the lubricant has dried out, the motor energy will not be enough for proper cleaning. Therefore, owners of cars of the tenth family are forced to repair the trapezoid once every 5–10 years in order to avoid deterioration in the performance of the wipers.
Replacement
The process of replacing old windshield wiper blades with new ones does not cause serious problems. It is only important to carry out all actions carefully, not to break the plastic fastener included in the kit. The replacement process includes the following steps:
- lift the wiper up, it is fixed in this position - perpendicular to the windshield;
- Next, you need to take the brush body in your hand and squeeze it, then move it down - slight swaying will simplify the procedure;
- then the brush is simply removed from the lever.
The installation process is performed in reverse. Many brush models are supplied with special adapters. They must be used carefully. Plastic is usually fragile. If it is damaged, it will be impossible to install the brush in place. Which will make it impossible to use it. When choosing a brush, it is important to focus on the brand. To date, Bosch, Champion and Denso have proven themselves to be good.
It is important to replace brushes in a timely manner, since road safety directly depends on this. Otherwise, precipitation falling on the windshield simply will not be removed in time.
What affects the condition of the trapezius
The wiper motor and trapezoid are located directly under the glass, so some of the water or washer fluid falls on them. In addition to water, dust, dirt and various small debris get there. All this leads to a change in the properties of the lubricant and deterioration in the performance of the trapezoid. When the lubricant loses its properties, the plastic bushings of the hinges begin to wear out, resulting in backlash and increasing resistance during operation.
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:
- unscrew and remove the windshield wiper blades along with the leads;
- unscrew and remove the plastic cover, for which you will need a TORX T20, or “star”;
- unscrew the trapezoid, which is attached to the car body with a nut and two bolts;
- disconnect the windshield wiper drive from the battery;
- remove the trapeze together with the drive.
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 windshield wiper trapezoid
To remove the trapezoid you will need:
- key to 10;
- thin flat screwdriver;
- crosshead screwdriver.
First of all, you need to remove the wipers. To do this, you need to remove the plastic pads and unscrew the nuts with which they are attached to the trapezoid studs. Then unscrew the screws and side fastenings of the protective casing (jabot) and remove it. If the fasteners do not come out, treat with WD-40. Before removing the casing, make sure to remove all screws, bolts and nuts. If the cover does not come off, look for a fastener that you did not remove. Lifting the frill, disconnect the washer fluid supply tube from the tee, and then move the casing to the side.
Remove the belt that supports the radiator tank and move the tank to the side. Then pull out the partition (sound insulation), which is located behind the tank. Don't forget to remove the washer fluid supply tube from it. Disconnect the electric motor power connectors. After this, unscrew the bolts securing the trapezoid and electric motor. To remove the trapezoid, you must either struggle for a long time, coming up with various options, or place a thin flat-head screwdriver under the far end (relative to the motor) of the lower rod of the trapezoid and pull out the entire structure as if on a slide. You can also turn the left edge of the trapezoid clockwise and pull it out, then remove the engine.

Trapezoid repair
During repairs, it is necessary to clean all elements of the trapezoid from dirt and inspect the studs. If wear is detected on their ribs, the trapezoid will have to be replaced. Repairing a trapezoid involves replacing the plastic caps. To do this you will need a repair kit and boiling water. First, disassemble the trapezoid using a pry bar or a heavy-duty flathead screwdriver as leverage. After this, cut off the old plastic caps. If you can’t cut it, use side cutters and bite off the caps piece by piece until you can pull them out of the trapezoid rods. You can also hold the ends of the trapezoid in boiling water, 2 to 3 minutes is enough, then push the caps out of their seats.
Three types of trapezoids were installed on cars of the “tenth” family - VAZ 2110, 2111 and 2112, which differed in minor details. Therefore, there is a possibility that either the trapezoid rods or the caps will have to be adjusted. Remove the cap and inspect it. If there is a fixing protrusion on top of it, check the recess for it on the rod seat. If there is no notch, you will have to either cut off the protrusion on the cap (does not affect the performance and reliability of the trapezoid) or saw through it in the draft. If there is no protrusion on the cap, no adjustment will be necessary.
Clean the rod and seat, then lower the cap into boiling water for 10 - 15 seconds. After this, it will soften and easily fall into place. Do not install a cold cap as this will destroy it. After the cap has cooled completely (20 minutes), the rod is ready for assembly. Before assembly, lubricate the bushings with graphite grease.
Check the serviceability of the electric motor. To do this, disconnect it from the trapezoid (you need to unscrew the fastening nut) and connect it to the car battery. When working, it should make a low buzzing sound. If you don't know how to connect the motor to the battery, then connect it to the power connector. Turn on various operating modes of the electric motor for 10 - 15 minutes. After that, feel it. If the motor gets hot, it needs to be replaced. An electrical technician can try to repair this device, but regular drivers and car enthusiasts need to replace it.

Putting the trapeze in place
Usually, installing the trapezoid into place does not cause difficulties. Insert it and secure with bolts. Do not overtighten the motor mounting bolt; the motor may need to be turned slightly to get the trapezoid to operate smoothly. After making sure that the trapezoid is working properly, tighten the electric motor mounting bolt, install and secure the sound insulation, frill (do not forget to connect the washer tube), and the expansion tank. Insert the plastic plugs and install them in place, install the arms with brushes and check the operation of the wipers in all modes.
