Size of wipers VAZ 2114, 2115, 2113, 2108, 2109, 21099, 2110, 2111, 2112

The safety of the driver and passengers primarily depends on the quality of windshield cleaning, so every car owner must control this issue. Wipers are classified as consumables, so sooner or later every car enthusiast will be faced with the need to replace them. What size is the Lada Granta windshield wiper and in what cases do the blades need to be changed? We will tell you more about this below.

When do windshield wiper blades need to be replaced?

There are several signs that indicate that the purifiers need replacing:

1. The primary and most important is poor windshield cleaning quality, the appearance of streaks and streaks when fluid is supplied from the washer reservoir. As a result of wear of the blades themselves installed on the wipers, the quality of glass cleaning is reduced to a minimum. Poor cleaning results in obstructed visibility.
2. The appearance of noise and squeaking when the wipers operate. As a rule, extraneous noise appears after the brushes begin to wear out and the glass is poorly cleaned. But there are also cases when the sound appears first, and only then the ineffectiveness of the brushes. So if you notice squeaking or noise, keep in mind that you will have to change your wipers soon.
3. The glass began to darken. As a rule, darkening of the glass is caused by the use of a low-quality washer, but the reason may also lie in damage to the rubber blade. This will cause the angle of the wiper edge to be offset.
4. The windshield wipers seem to “jump”. As a result of an increase in lifting force, the following problem appears - the wipers begin to work faster, and accordingly, they can jump over some areas of the glass surface.

The brush does not adhere tightly to the glass surface

Windshield cleaning system

To ensure that nothing gets in your way while driving and does not impede your view of the road, it is necessary that your car glass is clean. The windshield cleaning system copes with this ideally. Such high-tech products can perfectly clean car glass at any time of the year and in any weather conditions.

The windshield washer system will allow you to easily reach your final destination without any difficulty. You no longer have to worry about the quality of your vision while driving.

Many may say that why spend money on such cleaning systems if you can just add water? This is due to the fact that ordinary water, especially in winter, will simply freeze. This can also damage the washer system itself. In addition, it is not able to effectively wash away dirt.

The water will simply smear it all over the windshield. But special cleaning agents can easily overcome the chemicals that are used together with deicing agents that are scattered along the road in winter. Water cannot guarantee this.

Plus, this liquid has a pleasant aroma. It ends up in the car interior through the air intake system.

The windshield cleaning system ideally copes with smeared, stuck and dried insects, the presence of which on the glass is inevitable. It will also clean dust, dirt, various oil and salt stains. In winter, this system will easily help defrost the windshield and also prevent it from freezing. It will remove falling snow and frost.

Another feature of the cleaning device is the ability to defrost the windshield washer nozzles and cleaning brushes.

Despite its seemingly simplicity, the windshield washer system includes many components and a number of mechanisms: an electric motor that controls the movement of the brushes; washer pump; several time relays; switches; washer solenoid valve; a sensor that monitors the level of contamination of the windshield; pulse generator; trigger; phase detector; differentiating amplifier.

Such devices are able to instantly respond to unexpected contamination of the car glass, instantly turning on the supply of cleaning liquid. If the glass was not cleaned in one cycle, then another one is turned on. And so on until the glass becomes clean.

After this, the system switches to an operating mode based on the rate of change in contamination - standby mode. This prevents it from turning on spontaneously.

Also, this will not distract, and sometimes even frighten, the driver while driving, causing him to twitch sharply, which can lead to the creation of an emergency situation.

Such products, depending on the brand and their internal composition, can cope with any type of contamination. Therefore, you should choose only high-quality products. After all, clean glass is the key to the safety of you and your passengers.

Brush sizes

• according to the technical manual, the size of the driver's wiper is 600 mm;
• The size of the passenger cleaner is 410 mm.

Alternatively, you can use longer windshield wipers:

1. On the passenger side, you can install a longer wiper, its size should be no more than 450 mm, this will allow it to engage a larger amount of surface.
2. As for the driver's brush, it is better not to experiment here. For example, if you install a 610 mm wiper, this will cause it to touch the car body during operation, and accordingly, a knock will appear (video author - TheLadaKalina 2).

Everything about car windshield wiper blades and wipers

Very often, weather conditions on the road develop in such a way (for example, with light drizzle) that there is a need for intermittent operation of the windshield wiper blades. In such situations, many motorists understand how convenient it is to have a windshield wiper relay with an adjustable pause on their car. Thanks to this design, driving comfort is significantly improved. We will talk about the need for such a relay, how to use it and whether it can be installed on your car if it doesn’t already exist in this article.

Types of wipers

There are two types of wipers for the Lada Granta:

1. Frameless. Such products are better pressed against the surface of the windshield, which allows for better cleaning. Due to the absence of a frame, such devices practically do not freeze during the frosty season, which greatly simplifies their operation in winter. In addition, when operating at high speed, frameless products produce an order of magnitude less noise.
2. Frame. This option is older, since it was previously widely used on many cars. Their cost is lower, but they are equipped with a frame, which in any case will freeze during cold weather. However, products of this type tend to cause less damage to the surface of the windshield, since they are not pressed against it as tightly, unlike frameless options.

There is also a hybrid version of the product, but it has the same characteristics as frame wipers, so we do not recommend choosing it. The most technologically advanced option is frameless products, but their cost is higher (the author of the video is the remgar channel).

Types of wipers

1. Frame types of car windshield wipers have a hinged clamping system, it fits tightly to the glass. Now products of this type have become noticeably better than their predecessors of the 20th century. Previously, they were made of plastic, not metal, now the sleeves freeze less and are much easier to clean, have greater mobility, and are more accurately connected to each other by parts.

The low replacement price guaranteed popularity among owners of most Russian-made cars. Let's identify some disadvantages of the model:

• high probability of purchasing low-quality goods due to the large number of counterfeits;
• icing is possible, which leads to uneven cleaning of the glass;
• relatively short service life (about six months) compared to other wipers due to the weakening of all mechanisms and their rapid wear.

2. The frameless (frameless) model looks like a curved bar, the aerodynamic shape of which resembles a spoiler. A rubber-plastic sheet that acts like a brush is attached between two thin metal plates. There is a mounting bracket in the central part, and plugs on the sides:

• Structures of this type are less susceptible to icing.
• Due to the one-piece design and the absence of metal hinges, the model is more durable and wears out longer. The shelf life may be more than one year.
• Windows are wiped silently and efficiently. The excellent aerodynamic properties of the wipers allow them to adhere tightly to the glass at high speed.
• Quick installation of the product is another plus; it is enough to replace the blades that act as wipers. To do this, you simply need to remove the plugs on the sides of the wiper.
• The disadvantages include the lack of versatility of the model and the high price. For each car, you need to select wipers separately, since their structure follows the curvature of the glass. Mounting types may also vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

3.Hybrid windshield wipers combine a folding frame and rocker arms from a classic wiper, made in a compact plastic case, similar to a spoiler from a frameless one. Description of the hybrid model of winter wipers:

• Long period of operation exceeding 1 year.
• Superior efficiency through improved aerodynamics and downforce. This variety combines all the advantages of previous popular models.
• The high cost is due to the selection of high-quality materials.

You cannot skimp on replacing wipers and lead them to a state where they can no longer perform their functions well. Features and selection criteria depend on budget capabilities and car brand. It is better to purchase products with a universal fastening method. Remember, no matter what kind of windshield wipers you buy for winter, your safety first of all depends on it.

Recommendations for selection

Let's consider several product manufacturers:

1. Frameless Bosch Aerotwin. Belgian-made products are equipped with native fastenings; the main advantage is a long service life, as well as aerodynamics and the absence of extraneous sounds during operation.
2. SWF VisioNext - also of the frameless type, equipped with a hook type mount. The products are manufactured by Valeo, which also produces many other types of components and parts for cars.
3. Bosch Twin Spoiler frame brushes. Dimensions fit standard Granta windshield wipers. Despite the fact that the products are frame, they are quite reliable and have a long service life.
4. Champion Aerovantage. This manufacturer has been on the market for quite a long time, during which time it has been able to win the trust of many of our compatriots. The products belong to the premium segment of the market and are equipped with a steel frame.

The blades do not work, the reason for repair is 21099. What size are the windshield wiper blades for VAZ?

What to do if you turn on the wipers of a VAZ 2109, but they don’t work? The wipers and windshield washer of the VAZ 2109 should always be in working order. The only exception is dry summer weather, when wipers are not necessary. In spring and autumn, and especially in winter, the wipers of the VAZ 2109 must work. Rain, snow, dirt, ice - wipers should remove all this from the windshield of the VAZ 2109. The main malfunctions of the VAZ 2109 wipers: 1) Failure or poor contact of the VAZ 2109 wiper activation relay. 2) Malfunction of the VAZ 2109 wiper activation switch. 3) Malfunction of the VAZ 2109 wiper motor. 1) If the contact of the VAZ 2109 wiper activation relay is poor, it can be easily checked in the following way. Open the cover of the mounting block and find the wiper switch relay.

We turn on the wipers with a switch in the cabin and move the relay. If contact appears, the wipers of the VAZ 2109 will begin to move. If you find out that you have such a situation, then you need to clean the relay contacts with sandpaper and lubricate them.

2) We check the malfunction of the wiper switch as follows.

We simulate the signal from the turn switch. We take out the windshield wiper relay from the VAZ 2109 mounting block and screw a jumper made of thin copper wire between contacts 1 and 6. Then we insert the relay back into the mounting block. If the wipers start working, then the VAZ 2109 wiper switch is faulty. 3) If both the windshield wiper switch and the VAZ 2109 wiper switch are working, then you need to check the wiper motor.

The wiper motor is not just a motor, but a motor with a gear motor, a limit switch and a thermobimetallic plate. The limit switch is used to determine that the wiper has cleared the glass in one direction and is needed. The thermobimetallic plate of the VAZ 2109 wipers protects the engine from combustion in the event of jamming of the wiper blades. If the wiper blades are frozen, or there is such dirt on the windshield of the VAZ 2109 that the engine is unable to move the brushes, then the electric current to the engine increases and its windings may fail. Therefore, when increased current flows to the motor, the bimetallic plate heats up and opens the electrical circuit, preventing combustion of the motor. After cooling, the bimetallic plate of the VAZ 2109 restores its physical properties, that is, it does not fail like a regular fuse, it is used repeatedly.

Well, the simplest reason why the VAZ 2109 wipers may not work is a simple jam. Even if the windshield is clean, if the wipers have not been used for a long time, they may not turn on. In this case, we turn on the wipers, get out of the car and simply push the brush with our hand.

The windshield wiper kit type 33.5205 consists of an electric drive, arms and brushes. The movement of the windshield wiper blades is parallel. The windshield wiper connection diagram is shown in Fig. 9.21. Windshield wipers can be domestic or imported. Windshield wipers are interchangeable in connection and mounting dimensions. The gearmotors (electric motors with gearboxes) of these windshield wipers are also interchangeable, although they have some differences in design. The windshield wiper has three operating modes: the 1st and 2nd modes are constant (but with different speeds of movement of the blades), and the 3rd mode is with intermittent movement of the wiper blades. The windshield wiper electric motor is excited by permanent magnets, three-brush, with two rotation speeds. To protect the electric motor from overloads when the brushes freeze to the glass, there is high resistance to their movement, or when the windshield wiper mechanism gets stuck, a reusable thermo-bimetallic fuse is installed in the wiper. For imported gearmotors, the fuse is installed under the gearbox cover on the limit switch panel, and for domestic gearmotors, the fuse is located on the wiper drive bracket. The intermittent operation of the windshield wiper is ensured by an electronic relay type 52.3747 installed in the mounting block. This relay also turns on the windshield wiper motor (low speed) when the windshield washer is turned on. A relay of type 526.3747 without terminal “K” is installed in the mounting block 2114-3722010. Its characteristics are the same as those of relay 52.3747. This relay can also be installed in the previous mounting block. On some VAZ 2108 and VAZ 2109 vehicles, tailgate glass wipers can be installed along with washer solenoid valves. The windshield wiper connection diagram is shown in Fig. 9.22. The tailgate glass wiper consists of a gear motor, a lever and a brush. Laying the lever with a brush on the right in the direction of travel of the car. A thermobimetallic fuse is installed in the windshield wiper gear motors to protect against overloads. For a windshield wiper, when the gear motor is loaded with a torque of 0.49 N m (0.05 kgf m), a supply voltage of 14 V and an ambient temperature of (25 ± 10) ° C, the number of double strokes of the gear motor shaft should be (50 ± 5) min, and the power consumption current no more than 2 A.

Replacing windshield wiper blades on a VAZ 2109 1st generation

According to specification

On the bodies of VAZ 2109 (1st generation) from 1987 to 2006, the wipers have frame blades with a “Hook” mount, which car owners also call: Hook. Since 2005, for this VAZ model, you can also use a hybrid type of brushes (?), which is especially good in the winter season.

Hook (J-hook, Hook)

What brushes are needed

The ideal option would be standard brushes from the auto repair center of an official VAZ dealer, where they will be selected and installed specifically for your car model.

Many may not be satisfied with the high cost of original wipers, then use brushes from other manufacturers, they are several times cheaper. To purchase a suitable brush, you need to consider only 3 parameters.

Here are the specific models:

• Denso Hybrid DUR

• DOGA Duravision Flex

How to quickly change

No tools are required to replace Hook brushes.

What's the best way to buy

If possible, before purchasing, check the selected brushes for compliance with the requirements in the VAZ specifications for this vehicle.

When does the brush need to be replaced?

To check the condition of the brush and in all other cases, pay attention to the wear indicator -

(sticker on the brush frame), which usually turns bright yellow if the brush has reached the end of its service life. Full instructions.

• Do not force the brushes to work “dry”, especially if the glass is heavily soiled or covered with a layer of ice.

• To ensure that your brushes last longer and do not lose their elasticity, clean your brushes from dirt once a season: wash them in warm water and soap.

• If the glass or brush strips become oily, they should be degreased with a 10-20% soda solution and rinsed thoroughly with warm water. Do not use gasoline or thinner for this, as this will corrode the rubber of the brushes.

• You can lubricate the hinges of frame models with compounds such as WD-40, which effectively displace moisture and eliminate squeaks.

• In winter, do not turn on the windshield wiper until the windshield has warmed up, as this can seriously damage the blades.

• Some cars have a heated wiper parking area; for others, a winter wiper mode has been created, when they are located higher in the heater operating area. Please refer to your vehicle's manual to enable this option.

• It’s okay if the length of the wipers is a little longer or shorter than the standard one. It is important that during operation the new blades do not make any extraneous sounds and do not hit the edges of the windshield. Many people experiment with different sizes of wipers, installing a larger one on the driver's side and a smaller one on the passenger's side.

• Do not break the ice by hitting the glass with your cheeks. This may damage the wiper. For example, very often in such a situation the plastic plugs of frameless brushes break, since the plastic becomes brittle in the cold.

What happens if you choose the wrong brush size?

Large brushes

If you select brushes a little larger than required, then the pressing force of the brushes on the glass (especially frameless ones) drops significantly, which contributes to poor cleaning of the glass.

Also, during operation, larger brushes can climb onto the edge of the windshield sealing rubber during operation, thereby breaking away from the working surface.

Well, they have another problem that occurs on Kalinas, the brush on the driver’s side hits the edge of the driver’s door.

Small brushes

If the brushes are selected lower than required, then the main disadvantage is the reduction in the working surface area.

Also, due to small brushes, a dirty patch or “snot” of accumulated water may form in the middle of the windshield (during rain).

Brush sizes

VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115

The size of the windshield blades on these models is symmetrical and amounts to 51 cm on each side. But it is also possible to install brushes of a different size: on the driver’s side 53cm, on the passenger side 51cm. If you put both 53 cm each, then a thin strip of water will form in the middle.

The rear window blade size is 30cm. But you can put 33cm here, and there will be no problems. Some people also set it to 40cm, but in this case it will be necessary to increase the wiper stroke limit. In other words, so that the wiper does not fall very low and does not run into the rear window seal. This is done very simply: remove the motor and put it back, but offset by a couple of teeth.

VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099, 2110, 2111, 2112

The brush sizes are similar to 2114 (see above) because the body is the same, the windows are the same.

Kalina

As for Kalina, the driver’s brush is 60cm, the passenger’s brush is 40cm (41cm is possible). Rear wiper – 36cm.

Priora

The ideal brush size for the Priora is the same as for the VAZ 2114, i.e. 53cm is the driver’s brush, 50cm is the passenger’s brush (you can also try 51cm and 48cm). Rear wiper – 33cm.

VAZ windshield wiper blades - dimensions

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.

VAZ model range

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.

LADA "Sputnik", "Samara", "Samara 2", LADA 110-112

VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099, and 2113-2115 - all these models leave, or left, the factory with a standard wiper blade size of 510 millimeters. It is also possible to install brushes measuring 530 millimeters, or 530 for the driver and 510 for the passenger. For LADA 110-112 models, the size of the front windshield wipers is 500 millimeters. For all models of this series, where a rear windshield wiper is provided, the blade length is allowed within 280-330 millimeters.

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

Manufacturer's recommended brush sizes:

• driver - 61 centimeters;
• passenger - 40-41 centimeters;
• rear brush - 36-40 cm.

LADA Priora, Lada Largus

Original wiper blade sizes:

• 508 mm - both front wipers and one rear.

It is also possible to install brushes with a length of 51 centimeters, or a combination of 53 on the driver’s side and 48-51 on the passenger’s side. The same original (factory) brush sizes are also for LADA Largus .

LADA Granta

Granta is produced from the assembly line with the following sizes of windshield wiper blades:

• 600 millimeters - driver's seat;
• 410 millimeters - passenger seat.

NIVA

The dimensions of the brushes on the VAZ 2121, 21214, 2131 coincide with the dimensions for the VAZ 2101-2107, that is, 330-350 millimeters. If you are the owner of a Chevrolet-NIVA, then 500 mm wipers will fit here.

All sizes indicated are recommended by the manufacturer. Although some variations on the size of windshield cleaning brushes are possible.

What to look for when choosing windshield wiper blades?

First of all, you need to pay attention to the following factors:

• compliance of sizes with the manufacturer’s requirements, although you can deviate slightly from the standard sizes;
• versatility of fastening;
• quality of materials;
• price category.

The brush is pressed against the glass with a certain force, therefore, if you choose larger brushes, the quality of cleaning will deteriorate. You can choose a suitable brush size using catalogs produced by manufacturers. The easiest way is to measure your installed wipers with a tape measure. In addition, the packaging indicates which models this brush is suitable for. If you have original brushes installed, which are difficult to find on sale, then you can simply change the rubber blade itself.

It often happens that the glass area cleaned with brushes does not provide a normal field of view. This is especially noticeable on older cars. In this case, you can install a larger brush on the driver's side and a smaller one on the passenger's side. This is how you can remove a strip of water - “snot”, which constantly flows from above.

Pay special attention to adapters - fasteners for attaching the blade to the windshield wiper arm. The most common type of fastening is Hook. Not all manufacturers produce brushes that would fit VAZ mounts. In this case, you need to look for additional adapters in the kit.

The quality of the tape is the main component of a good windshield wiper blade. A high-quality tape runs without burrs or irregularities. It has a uniform color and texture. Graphite, silicone and Teflon tapes can last much longer, but at the same time their price is quite high.

Selection of the size of wipers VAZ 2114

The size of the windshield wiper blades on the VAZ 2114 and other cars determines the downforce, especially for frameless wipers. If, for example, the brush is too large, the clamping force drops and the glass is no longer cleaned as well. In addition, large wipers can come off the working surface - this is due to the fact that their edge hits the windshield sealing rubber. And Kalina has a typical problem when the windshield wiper hits the driver's door. The main disadvantage of brushes that are too short is the reduction in working surface area. Also, the short length of the wipers on the VAZ 2114 leads to the formation of islands of dirt and the accumulation of water during rain. The size of the rear wipers on the VAZ 2114 is 30 cm, but 33 cm rear wipers are also acceptable - this will not lead to any problems. But brushes 40 cm long already require an increase in the stroke limit so that the wiper does not touch the rear window seal and does not go down too low. To do this, you need to remove the motor and return it back with an offset of a couple of teeth.

Device design

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

Dimensions for different models

For the VAZ 2109, 21099, 2108 models, the size of the VAZ 2114 windshield wiper blades is suitable - these models have the same body and the same glass. The length of the VAZ 2114 windshield wiper blades is also suitable for the VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112 models. For the Lada Kalina, the optimal sizes are the following: rear blade - 36 cm, passenger blade - 40 cm, driver's blade - 60 cm. The size of the patios on the Priora is the same as for VAZ 2114: rear wiper - 33 cm, passenger - from 48 to 51, driver - 53 cm. Cars of the Grant model require almost the same size of wiper blades as Kalina. These dimensions are as follows: the passenger wiper is from 40 to 41 cm, and the driver’s wiper is 60 centimeters.
