How to remove the window handle on a VAZ-2107: instructions with video

Window lifter handles are most often found on older or budget car models. Almost all domestic cars (except for later models designed by Steve Mattin) are equipped with a mechanical window lift drive. The handle can also be found on older models of foreign cars. Some modern car models (for example, Renault Logan 2) are available with a push-button window regulator for the driver and passenger sitting in the front, and window lifter handles in the rear seats. If the handle breaks, you should not immediately contact a car service center. Everyone can independently figure out how to remove the window lifter handle. As an example, we will give the process of removing the handle on Russian cars.

Mechanism design

The window regulator is a fairly simple mechanism, but it is important to know that the design for the front and rear doors is somewhat different. However, in both cases their equipment is exactly the same. So inside the cabin are located:

• the handle itself;
• protective cap;
• socket.

The window lifting mechanism consists of:

• brackets;
• lower and tension rollers;
• bolt;
• star winding mechanism;
• cable traction.

And the last part is the glass fastening system. It includes:

• pressure plates;
• fixing screws.

The 2107 differs from earlier classic VAZ models in the shape of its front windows - they are pentagonal. The old ones, as many remember, had a separate window, which the manufacturer, striving to optimize work processes, abandoned. Because of this decision, it was necessary to change the layout of the cable and its feeding, so the seven has an additional (tension) roller. You need to know this nuance in order to remove the window regulator without difficulty.

The mechanisms on the rear doors do not differ in any way from those installed on earlier models, therefore they are interchangeable.

Anyone can replace any structural element independently, without going to a service station. However, it is important to complete all work carefully and without errors.

Beet lifter malfunctions

When the window regulator is functioning properly, it is better not to touch it, unless you are going to install an electric one. The mechanism is well regulated at the factory, so any interference with its operation usually ends in breakdowns.

However, like everything else, window regulators sometimes fail. The following signs indicate this:

• jamming;
• creaking;
• glass warping.

Unpleasant sounds that appear when you try to lower the window indicate wear and tear on the moving elements. As a rule, this symptom appears shortly before the final failure of the entire node. Getting rid of the problem is not very difficult - open the door, vacuum the inner cavity and lubricate (or replace) the rollers.

Sometimes unwanted noise appears when the glass no longer fits tightly to the rubber bands. In this case, dust gets into the grooves - that’s why it creaks. Here:

• wipe the seals with a sponge soaked in soapy water;
• dry;
• treat with silicone grease;
• open and close the window several times.

Occasionally the glass simply gets stuck. This happens because:

• serious wear of the star-shaped cable winding mechanism;
• breakage of the pressure plate;
• traction misalignment.

Often older cars have all of these problems at the same time.
Repair is carried out by replacing a failed part or the entire mechanism assembly. It happens that there is a pause between the start of turning the handle and the lowering of the window. In severe cases, the glass does not fix at all or falls inside the door. This breakdown is caused by a weakened cable due to the break of one of the rollers. A part that has become unusable must be replaced with a new one.

conclusions

Replacing the window lifter handle is a simple operation that any car enthusiast can do. When purchasing a kit in the markets, you risk receiving a defective product. In this case, it is better to purchase a kit for a later model in a specialized store. Experts also recommend checking the mechanism itself during replacement, since there are parts that fail over time.

Especially if a problem is found in the glass lifting mechanism. To extend the life of the mechanism, you should not make sudden movements when raising and lowering the glass and you should not pull the handle. The entry of foreign objects into the mechanism is unacceptable. Good luck and easy travels!

Removing the window handle on a VAZ-2114: step-by-step instructions

Many motorists have encountered the need to remove the door window handle on a VAZ 2114. This is necessary in order to replace an element or remove the door card. Our article will tell you how to carry out this process quickly and with your own hands.

The video below shows the process of removing the rear door trim on a VAZ-2115. The window lifter handle on the VAZ-2114 is also removed in the same way:

The video will tell you about the process of removing the window lifter handle, and also tell you about the nuances and subtleties of the process.

DIY repair

Sometimes it turns out that it is not possible to purchase a new device, if the cable gets tangled, or the electric motor fails, then there is always the opportunity to repair it all with your own hands. Only obvious mechanical fracture of any part cannot be repaired.

If the electric motor fails, most likely your brushes or windings are simply clogged; just remove the motor, disassemble it and clean it carefully with an alcohol-soaked cloth or gasoline; you can buy special products (enough for more than one time). It is advisable to lubricate all mechanisms during disassembly.

When the cable flies off the mechanism, you should remove the entire mechanism, again remove the electric motor or unwind the cable itself if you have a mechanical one, carefully pull the cable into its place (grooves) and install it back.

Often the fault is not in the window regulator itself; by studying the diagram below you will understand which wires go where, by calling them you can find the true cause.

I would like to add that repairs, as a rule, do not help for long; if it happens that your window regulator has failed, it is better to replace it, because all the parts have their wear and tear and are unlikely to serve you for a long time, but there are exceptions.

Removing the handle and replacing it

The window lifter handle cannot be repaired. That’s why they simply replace it with a new one, since the latter costs from 30 to 70 rubles.

Dismantling is carried out in the following order:

• take a flathead screwdriver;
• use it to pry the plastic base retainer with the U-shaped slot;
• push it towards you and it will jump off;
• Use the same screwdriver to press out the handle itself;
• remove the decorative cap.

Now all that remains is to install the new element by performing all the described steps in reverse order.

How to open a car without keys

Here are some proven ways to solve the problem of opening a car:
The most common way is to take a spare set of keys. Surprisingly, many people are confused and forget that they have a second set of car keys at home. And if the house is located within transport accessibility, it is cheaper and faster to get there by bus or taxi than to try to open the car.

If there is no second set of keys or for some reason it is impossible to take it, you can contact a special emergency door opening service. They have special equipment for reading the alarm code, which allows you to open the door of any car in a couple of minutes. You will have to pay for the services of specialists. You also need to provide documents for the car for security purposes.

Let's say the first two methods didn't work. Then we take the wire and make a loop at the end. Next, we try to lower the glass on any door at least a couple of millimeters. You need to insert a wire into the resulting gap, hook the cap of the locking mechanism with a loop and pull it up. This method only works if the door latches have a cap. Advice - it is quite difficult to move the glass from its place with bare hands. Wear rubber gloves or pick up something rubber and press firmly. After several up and down movements, the glass will begin to lower.

If you can’t lower the glass, you can slightly bend the right edge of the door (where the seal is) and carry out a similar procedure with the wire. After bending the edge of the door, you can try to press the window button with a stick or ruler. The glass will lower, revealing the entrance to the car interior.

Another method using metal wire

Make a hook at the end (note that the wire must be strong; a metal hanger is better suited for this purpose). Next, insert the wire between the glass and the rubber seal, push it down

Feel and hook the door pull leading to the button and pull up. This will remove the blocking.

Another commonplace way is to enter the cabin through the trunk if it is left open. So, we find the button that folds the rear seats and press it. The seats fold down and you can easily get into the cabin.

You can try to pull out the glass of a small window, which is found in almost all cars. To do this, remove the rubber seal and carefully pull out the glass. You can then easily put it back in place.
