It is not at all necessary to have an apiary for twelve hives or a serious homestead, so that sometimes you need to transport a fairly large load or a lot of small items. Situations are different, and especially when going on a trip in a VAZ 2107, not everyone wants to burden themselves with a trailer. This is why there are additional luggage racks.
But first, let’s deal with the standard, ordinary trunk of the seven. It is far from the ideal of rational distribution of space, in fact, as in all classic Zhiguli cars. The side members, wheel arches, niches, gas tank and rear suspension cups form a kind of labyrinth for dumping all sorts of rubbish. Only the size of the trunk of a VAZ 2107 is quite difficult to measure with a tape measure. It turns out to be an intricate figure, however, there are heroes who did it. The photo shows the dimensions and geometry of the trunk.
Why do you need a roof rack?
The Seven belongs to the class of small passenger cars, which are designed to transport passengers, as well as small-sized cargo in the luggage compartment. However, very often there is a need to transport various cargoes, the dimensions of which exceed the dimensions of the car trunk. In this case, the top roof rack of the VAZ 2107 comes to the rescue, expanding the ease of use of the car.
A roof rack is installed on the roof of the vehicle in order to be able to transport various cargo. This can be things, tools, equipment, as well as other oversized cargo: building materials, bicycles, boats, etc.
The main condition that applies to objects transported on the roof of a car is that they must be securely fixed. Carrying cargo on the roof without a roof rack is strictly prohibited, as this is due to the lack of reliable securing of the cargo, and therefore safety. In addition, items transported on the roof will negatively affect the paintwork of the body.
Types of roof racks for VAZ 2107
It must be said right away that a standard factory-made trunk can be placed on the roof of the seven, which has dimensions of 1300x1050x215 mm, and its load capacity does not exceed 50 kg. These sizes are standard, and such products are suitable for most VAZ car models. The car is not equipped with such devices from the factory, but they can be purchased separately. Moreover, they are offered in several versions.
The Zhiguli roof rack is not the only option that is suitable for the VAZ 2107. Based on the type of design, the devices under consideration can be divided into three main groups:
- Open type.
- Closed.
- In the form of crossbars or roof rails.
Open type products are also called universal, as they are suitable for almost any task. Structurally, the device is a square or rectangular base, consisting of transverse and longitudinal jumpers (metal frame). Round tubes or a square profile are used as these jumpers. The dimensions of such a VAZ 2107 roof rack may differ from the standard ones, and they are selected depending on the parameters of the cargo being transported. The Zhigulevsk product is a classic representative of open-type luggage racks.
Closed-type devices look like a box made of plastic. This product has some advantages compared to the previous version - it is reliable protection of the transported cargo from bad weather and improved aerodynamics (less wind resistance), and therefore fuel economy. Typically, such luggage racks are used to transport things. It consists of a base and a lid, and has a fairly large capacity. Such devices are installed on the roof of the car when the whole family makes long trips.
The devices, which consist of two roof rails with crossbars, are used for transporting large building materials, as well as bicycles, etc. This option is also called a simplified version of open-type products, which has one significant advantage - it does not spoil the appearance of the car. Installing a roof rack allows you to do a little tuning of the car.
Installation of all of the above devices is carried out using special brackets that engage with the car's gutters. When choosing the devices in question, you need to know that they are adjustable, which allows you to install them on the roof of any classic VAZ, including the VAZ 2107.
How to install a roof rack on a VAZ 2107
Installation of the roof rack on the VAZ 2107 is carried out on special sides, which are called storm drains. These storm drains are places provided by the factory to protect door openings from the flow of precipitation from the roof. Installation of trunk mounts must be carried out at an equal distance from the front and rear windows of the car. This allows the load to be distributed evenly on the upper part of the body.
The fastenings are placed in such a way that there are no obstacles to opening and closing the doors. On the sevens on the interior side there are auxiliary marks indicating the location of the pillars. It is in the locations of these racks that the trunk must be installed. Installation of the selected roof rack on the roof of a VAZ 2107 car is carried out in the following sequence:
- The trunk is located on the roof with brackets, after which it is secured with mounting brackets. Before tightening the bolts, you must make sure that the racks are not distorted.
- The device mounting brackets installed on the inside of the storm drain must have a rubberized base. If such a base is not available, then you will need to use rubberized seals to prevent the possibility of them coming into contact with the paintwork of the car.
- If you miscalculate the installation of the product, it can lead to damage to the roof. The bolts are tightened using the appropriate size wrench or by hand. Most modern devices are equipped with bolted connections that are hand-tightened.
- At this point, the installation is complete, and all that remains is to position the load and secure it properly.
The VAZ 2107 roof rack must not only be installed correctly, but also properly operated. The maximum load should not be more than 60 kg. Moreover, it is important to take into account not only the weight of the cargo being transported, but also its dimensions. Transporting long items in the form of boards from 2-3 meters leads to the creation of additional load. It is formed due to the air flow, which acts on the front of the boards, trying to push them off the trunk. At the same time, fastenings on drains experience the heaviest load. In addition, transported long items must be marked with a red flag on the back.
Installation of the device does not take much time, but at the same time it increases the efficiency of the vehicle used for transporting various goods.
How much does a car weigh?
A car's directional stability and handling are also directly related to its weight. The peak of popularity of large, heavy cars abroad occurred in the 50-60s of the last century. Then the auto industry produced truly gigantic cars. For example, the Cadillac Eldorado modification 8.2 weighed almost 3 tons. Agree that for such a weight, an appropriate makeweight is needed.
But as time passed, it became clear that in order to further develop and improve the most important characteristics of the car, it was necessary to resort to reducing its overall weight. And if we compare the middle of the last century and today, cars have lost half, or even more, of their own weight. Plastic, carbon fiber reinforced plastic, light metals - all these innovations have made it possible to make the weight of a passenger car significantly lower.
Of course, for lovers of everything big and heavy, cars are produced that look like steamships that drink buckets of gasoline, but this is rather an exception to the rule.

Load capacity and capacity of VAZ station wagons and hatchbacks
Those who especially value a truck in a passenger car prefer station wagons, or, in extreme cases, hatchbacks.
- the most common and cheapest station wagon. The “Four” does not amaze with the high-pile carpets in the trunk (there are none there at all) and the exquisite door upholstery. But the plastic is easy to clean, it is not afraid of spilled Antifreeze and Obzor. Like a truck, the car is spoiled by the awkward trunk shelf, the fifth door opening tapering towards the bottom, and the wheel arches. You can easily transform the interior.
— the last word in the field of domestic universal construction. The successor to the Quartet holds 25% more in volume and 10% more in weight. In terms of carrying capacity, the “eleventh” was even ahead of the spring-loaded “Volga”. The rear seat, like on decent foreign cars, easily folds out in parts (2:1), creating the only problem - where to put the headrests? In general, the “eleventh” is a modern, surprisingly roomy “shed”. In terms of product and price: a front-wheel drive station wagon is twice (!) more expensive than a “classic” one.
Main differences from VAZ-2105
- Modified, often chrome-plated radiator grille with a larger area;
- The structure of the rear headlights has been slightly changed;
- More comfortable front seats with headrests;
- Modernized front instrument panel (in particular, a tachometer and speedometer have been added with digitization up to 180 km/h);
- Added cold air deflectors (“torpedo”) located in the center. While you can direct a stream of hot air into your feet (via the cabin heater), these deflectors can direct a stream of cold air into your face;
- Plastic bumpers instead of metal ones;
- Modified hood shape;
- Five-speed gearbox
- Slightly modified shape of the trunk lid (without stampings)
VAZ-2107. Video review.
Vehicle interior
There is no design approach, no dry design of functional details. The goal of the manufacturers was to make a working car “without worrying” about comfort and appearance. The minimum number of required devices confirms this in practice.
The interior has fabric upholstery with faux leather headrests. Rear row - the sofa folds to expand the luggage space.
If we consider the equipment, we can highlight such tidy elements as a volt-ohm meter, an econometer, a battery charge, and a low oil pressure sensor. As well as the standard tachometer, speedometer, odometer, lamp unit and parking brake.
On the central panel you can find a seat belt sensor and heated rear window, which is very good for such an unequipped car. And as standard there is a clock, a brake warning lamp and a fuel level indicator.
There are also additional keys for turning on fog lights and switching operating modes of the stove. You have the opportunity to install the radio in an existing niche.
The “four” has a glove compartment with a lock, visors with pockets, a sound signal in the classic place, and a cigarette lighter. As well as steering column switches for turning on the wipers and turn signals.
Separately, it is worth noting the trunk, although the rear seats fold down, they do not do so completely, so it will still not be possible to transport a long load. For this kind of purpose, the 2104 has roof rails, but the weight of the cargo should be limited, because This model has worse roof rigidity than other body types. In general, it is worth remembering the low possible load, which should not exceed 450 kg, taking into account the weight of cargo and passengers, otherwise the chassis may become faulty.
Refill containers
- Fuel tank (including 5 liter reserve) - holds 39 liters of gasoline
- Lubrication system (including oil filter) - holds 3.75 liters of oil
- Engine cooling system (including interior heater) - 9.85 liters of antifreeze

How high is the inner shelf where the speakers are? is it 540-170?
there's only a trunk here
You did not understand. There is a niche in the trunk under the speakers. Where is the gas cylinder usually placed? you still have the width 275 written
yes it turns out like this 540 -170
To the ribs of the trunk lid? Or until what exactly? Otherwise, I have a false floor by 16 cm. And the sub took 37 cm. We get 53 cm. And for some reason it doesn’t fit by 2 cm. How is that?
and its height is indicated as 540, is this from the floor to the trunk lid?
The good old Seven, of course, is not a station wagon, but it is also a fairly roomy car if you approach the distribution of interior and trunk space wisely. And if you also take into account that a small trunk, for example, for a spare tire or other small items, can be attached to the luggage compartment lid, and a full-fledged large trunk can be attached to the roof, then many station wagons will be left far behind in functionality.
Useful information about the "seven"
ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"
The weight of the “seven” is exactly 1030 kilograms. At the same time, the car body is the heaviest among all other parts and components (600 kg). Its assembly diagram differs in a standard, classic sequence for VAZs and includes the following elements:
- Front end parts along with fenders, complemented by reinforcements;
- Roof;
- The bottom is also well reinforced, especially in the front and rear;
- Sidewalls.
Each of the parts is made from a special type of steel, has its own ID number, a specific mold and casting pattern. So, the roof of the “seven” always has a thickness of 0.9 mm.
The body parts are combined with each other by welding. If elements, for example, such as the floor, bear a significant load, they are additionally strengthened by arc welding.
In addition to the main elements, the body of the “seven” also has attached parts called “tails”. These are the parts that can be connected with bolts and hinges to the main frame - bumpers, hood, and so on.
The body length of the VAZ 2107 reaches 4126 mm, the width is 1620 mm, and the height is 1435 mm.
Control dimensions or correct body geometry
It is not enough for the owner of the “Seven” to know only the standard parameters of the car. It will also be useful to study the control body dimensions of the VAZ 2107 or the points of the car’s frame, especially if the owner plans to improve the dynamics of the car by lightening the body.
Note. In addition, knowing these parameters of the car, you can easily restore the body after an accident. And one more thing: when buying a used “Seven”, it will be easy to find out whether the car has been in an accident by comparing the body dimensions of the VAZ 2107 with the standard ones.
The diagram below shows the main control dimensions of the VAZ 2107.

Control of the geometry of the body and the attachment points of the chassis and floor units is carried out on a special installation. This is a special type of machine designed for body inspection and repair. This is what he looks like.
On such a machine, not only measurements are carried out, but also further editing of the body. The purpose of the operation is to recreate the original linear dimensions of the body.
ID VAZ 2107
On the “seven”, like other cars, individual technical information is indicated. It is presented in the table, which can be found under the hood.
IDs imply information not only about the car model. This contains detailed information about the body number and its weight.
Creation of VAZ-2101
Concept and technical characteristics of the updated Nissan Beetle
Everyone knows that the VAZ 2101, or in common parlance “Kopeyka”, copied the external features and technical features from the Italian Fiat-124 model of 1966. Of course, all materials for production were used only Soviet ones.
The first stage of the plant was put into operation on March 24, 1971 and was designed to produce 220,000 cars per year. The following year, AvtoVAZ doubled its production capacity.
The VAZ-2101 was created as a low-power car (four-cylinder engine capacity was 1.2 liters; power - 62 hp at 600 rpm; maximum speed - 140 km/h) and with a relatively low price, so that everyone could afford to buy a legendary car.
Compared to the Italian prototype, the VAZ-2101 acquired rear drum brakes (instead of disc brakes), which were more durable and resistant to dirt. According to the characteristics of our roads, the ground clearance was also increased, the body and suspension were strengthened. In all subsequent years, the VAZ model was refined and subjected to modifications. But even in this (pristine) form, the VAZ-2101 was produced until 1982 and became a truly “people's” car.
Installing an additional trunk
For roofs with storm drains, the first step is to attach the roof rack supports. It is very important to maintain symmetry during installation and ensure that they fit into their seals. If there is misalignment or they move freely, this will cause damage to the paintwork of your car. The adjusting knob of the fastening must be rotated until the rubber seals are securely seated.
This should be done without using much effort, the main thing is not to overtighten. If you overtighten the support fastenings, the beam may become deformed, and then your trunk will be of irregular shape. For flat roofs of VAZ cars, installation is performed a little differently. There are no handles on the racks in the trunk mounts of this car; everything is clamped with hexagons. When installing these types of racks, it is necessary to measure not only the symmetry between the rack mounts, but also the length from the end of the windshield to the edge of the car trunk.
Electric trunk lock
Now it’s time to deal with the trunk lid. If you're going to do some revision, do it until the end. There are several options for how to improve the VAZ 2107 trunk lock, remote, with a button and with an electric drive. Such tricks are explained by the fact that it is not always convenient to turn off the engine to open the trunk. And if you install an electric drive, then if you have an installed alarm system, it is easy to make a remote control of the lock.
Any electromagnetic lock can serve as an actuator. There are several varieties of them on sale; they may differ in size and stroke. The electric lock is attached directly to the trunk lid, preferably closer to the hinges, in order to reduce the load on them when opening the lid. The ideal solution for traction would be a cable or a strong steel guitar string, one end of which is attached to the lock tongue, and the other to the eye of the stem.
The connection diagram for the electric lock is shown in the photo, and the actuator must be turned on through any VAZ relay with four contacts. If there is an alarm, you can also include an electric lock in its circuit, then the trunk will open both from a button in the cabin and from the alarm remote control.

How to install a roof rack on a VAZ 2107
Installation of the roof rack on the VAZ 2107 is carried out on special sides, which are called storm drains. These storm drains are places provided by the factory to protect door openings from the flow of precipitation from the roof. Installation of trunk mounts must be carried out at an equal distance from the front and rear windows of the car. This allows the load to be distributed evenly on the upper part of the body.
The fastenings are placed in such a way that there are no obstacles to opening and closing the doors. On the sevens on the interior side there are auxiliary marks indicating the location of the pillars. It is in the locations of these racks that the trunk must be installed. Installation of the selected roof rack on the roof of a VAZ 2107 car is carried out in the following sequence:
- The trunk is located on the roof with brackets, after which it is secured with mounting brackets. Before tightening the bolts, you must make sure that the racks are not distorted.
- The device mounting brackets installed on the inside of the storm drain must have a rubberized base. If such a base is not available, then you will need to use rubberized seals to prevent the possibility of them coming into contact with the paintwork of the car.
- If you miscalculate the installation of the product, it can lead to damage to the roof. The bolts are tightened using the appropriate size wrench or by hand. Most modern devices are equipped with bolted connections that are hand-tightened.
- At this point, the installation is complete, and all that remains is to position the load and secure it properly.
The VAZ 2107 roof rack must not only be installed correctly, but also properly operated. The maximum load should not be more than 60 kg. Moreover, it is important to take into account not only the weight of the cargo being transported, but also its dimensions. Transporting long items in the form of boards from 2-3 meters leads to the creation of additional load. It is formed due to the air flow, which acts on the front of the boards, trying to push them off the trunk. At the same time, fastenings on drains experience the heaviest load. In addition, transported long items must be marked with a red flag on the back.
Installation of the device does not take much time, but at the same time it increases the efficiency of the vehicle used for transporting various goods.
Wiper sizes
Factory wipers on the VAZ-2107 are 33 cm (13”). Despite the fact that 14” and 15” wipers are suitable for this car model, factory ones are considered the best option, since the motor is designed specifically for them. Despite the improvement, all glass on the VAZ-2107 remained the same size:
- wind – 1440×536×6;
- rear window – 1360×512×5;
- front door glass (pivot) – 346×255×5;
- front door (lowering) – 503×422×5;
- rear door (lowering) – 543×429×5;
- rear door glass (fixed) – 372×258×5.
All geometry control points also remained unchanged. They can be found on the drawings that come with the car. The standard dimensions of the aluminum stove radiator are 200×174×42. It is also suitable for other models, such as VAZ-2101, VAZ-2103, VAZ-2105.
