Standard seats VAZ 2107, repair, replacement

The main problem with the front seats of the VAZ 2107 is its breakdown when the backrest is not fixed in a vertical position, or the failure of the adjustment mechanism (on the slide). It is in these cases, or when replacing, that the front seats will need to be removed from the car.

To perform this repair on a VAZ “classic”, we will need the following tool:

1. Head for 8
2. Extension
3. Ratchet handle
4. Open-end wrench 13

The front seat mounting bolts are located on both the front and rear sides, so first you need to move the seat all the way forward, as shown in the picture below:

Since the bolts are now accessible, you can unscrew them:

Once the back is free, move the chair all the way back to gain access to the front bolts. The one on the far right turns away in the same way as the back side, but on the left you need to unscrew the nut with a 13mm wrench, as is clearly shown in the photo below:

After this, you can remove the seat without any problems and remove it completely from the car.

If necessary, we repair it or completely replace it and install it in the reverse order. If you decide to buy new front seats for a VAZ 2107, then their price is approximately 3,500 rubles per one.

Repair of VAZ 2107 seats is carried out for two reasons:

• damage to seat trim;
• failure of the front seat adjustment mechanism.

Before repairing the mechanism or seat trim, they must be dismantled.

Removing the front seats of a VAZ 2107

To dismantle the seats you will need a pair of keys - 8 and 13 mm. The procedure is as follows:

• Move the seat forward as far as it will go.
• Unscrew a couple of bolts securing the slide.

• Move the seat back.
• Remove the two bolts securing the front seat.
• Repeat the steps for the second chair.
• Remove the VAZ 2107 seats from the interior.

Removal and installation of front seats

And so, let’s look at the question - how to remove the front seats on a VAZ 2114.

To perform this operation we will need the following set of tools:

1. flat screwdriver;
2. ratchet;
3. knob;
4. 8 mm head (or Torx 10 - in late models);
5. 13 mm socket or a simple 13mm wrench.

The front seats are dismantled according to the following scheme:

• Disconnect the heated seat wiring harnesses (if equipped).
• Using a 13mm wrench, unscrew the four nuts securing the front seat tube.

• If necessary, remove the torsion bars by pulling forcefully at their edges.

• Raise the seat (you need to do this with a jerk) to its highest position (as far as possible), after which access to its fastening will open.

• Unscrew the bolts securing the seat slides in the front (on both sides). Pull the locking lever to move the seat forward.

• Unscrew the bolts securing the seat slide at the rear (on both sides). Remove the vacated seat.
• Installing the seat in the car is done in exactly the same way, but in the reverse order (it should be noted that this diagram is relevant for both front seats - the driver's and the passenger's).

When purchasing new front seats, the best option would be to give preference to the so-called anatomical ones, which allow you to feel comfortable behind the wheel even on long trips.

Repair of front seat slides

VAZ front seat slides include the following parts:

1 — slide guides; 2 — slide sliders; 3 - roller; 4 — rubber roller ring; 5 - limiter; 6 — slide latch; 7 — retainer for the internal guide of the slide; 8 — back reinforcement; 9 - traction; 10 - spring; 11 — cotter pin; 12 — screw rod with the handle for the backrest tilt mechanism; 13 — latch handle for the slide movement mechanism; 14 — screw rod bracket

Repair of seat mechanisms is carried out with the seats already removed. To restore the functionality of the mechanism, the following operations should be performed:

• clean from dirt;
• if necessary, replace worn or damaged parts;
• lubricate

Dismantling the slide is done as follows:

1. Remove the spring.
2. Remove the rod pin.
3. Unscrew the bolts securing the slide to the seat.
4. Remove the skids.
5. Remove the screw rod from the bracket.
6. Move the sliders along the guides.
7. Remove sliders and rollers.

After disassembly, you can inspect the parts to determine the cause of the breakdown. The lack of fixation of the seat back of the VAZ 2107 can be eliminated by replacing it (or replacing the comb or clamp). To do this, you will have to cut off the broken part with a grinder and weld a new one in its place. The upholstery of the chair must be protected from welding by covering it with a wet cloth. If possible, it is better to leave one frame of the chair before welding. At the same time, you can wash the seat upholstery.

Removing the front seats

The seat needs to be pushed all the way forward, after which you can see two mounting bolts on the slide that need to be unscrewed. After this, the chair is moved back as much as possible, the two fastenings at the front are unscrewed. In this case, you need to unscrew the nut on the left with a No. 13 wrench. After these steps are completed, the chair can be easily removed from the interior, making it possible to repair it.

The front seat adjustment mechanisms are known to jam quite often, so they can also be disassembled for the following work:

• cleaning from dirt,
• applying lubricant,
• repair, repair
• replacing worn parts.

The VAZ skid consists of a limiter, a bracket for a screw rod, a lock for the internal guide, a rod, guides, sliders and a roller with a rubber ring, a spring, a latch, a back reinforcement, a cotter pin, a handle for the latch from the mechanism for moving the skid, and other parts.

To carry out the work, you need to dismantle the spring, remove the pin from the rod, unscrew the bolts from the mounting of the slide on the VAZ seat and remove the slide. After this, the cotter pin/screw rod is unscrewed (removed from the bracket), the sliders are moved along the guides, the rollers with limiters are removed, and the sliders are removed. Assembly is carried out in reverse order.

If the lock for the backrest position of the chair is broken, then in the store you need to purchase a spare part such as a lock comb, or the lock itself. Now you should cut off the broken part with a grinder and weld a new one, having previously covered the chair in places close to welding with a wet cloth so as not to burn it. If the repair is supposed to be done in a workshop, then car owners are advised to remove the seat trim, take out the foam rubber, springs and give only the frame, since the welder does not always work carefully. By the way, the seat upholstery can be washed or cleaned at the same time.

Tuning the interior of the "Seven"

It would be a good idea to reupholster the updated chair yourself. To do this, the old seat upholstery must be carefully ripped apart at the seams, moistening the places where it is glued to the cardboard elements with gasoline. The removed covering is used as a pattern, on the basis of which a blank is made from a suitable fabric. It is assembled using glue, thread or heat sealing. The foam elements and springs are updated, and new upholstery is put on the seat.

The rear seats often require updating of the upholstery precisely due to its wear and tear, since children or pets are usually placed here. The seat at the back is a sofa consisting of a back and a saddle, which are attached to special elements so that the entire structure is in one position.

Reupholstery of the front seats of VAZ 2107

To reupholster the seats you need:

• 
  Rip out the old sheathing at the seams.

• Moisten the places where the covering is glued to the cardboard elements with gasoline.
• Carefully remove the casing.
• Using the removed error as a template, mark and cut the workpiece from a suitable dense fabric.
• Renew foam elements and springs.
• Assemble the pieces of sheathing and secure them using heat welding, glue and thread.

Alternative seating

As we can see from the above, the answer to the question - how to raise the rear seat of a VAZ 2114 - is quite simple, since it is attached using a minimum number of fixing elements and does not require the use of a large number of tools. But another, no less important issue is the choice of new, alternative seats.

Many motorists, as already mentioned, install on their VAZ 2114 seats from other models and even other brands of cars (for example, seats from Ford). At the same time, when choosing them, you should pay close attention to their dimensions and fastening features (although very often motorists look specifically at the “performance” characteristics - convenience, wear resistance, anatomy, etc.).

The same rule applies to the front seats - the fewer modifications that need to be made during installation, the better. It should also be noted that when replacing the front seats, you should pay attention to the so-called “anatomical” seats (for example, manufactured by UNP).

They allow you to spend long periods of time driving and travel for many hours without feeling any fatigue or discomfort in your back and joints (such seats are especially recommended for frequent and long drives in urban environments).

Replacing seats

You can make the interior more comfortable by installing seats from another car model or special seats for auto tuning on the VAZ 2107. The latter are produced in various modifications, which allows you to choose a seat that suits the car owner.

You can install any car seats from foreign cars that are suitable in size in the VAZ interior. It should be noted that such a replacement requires welding to change the fastening design. During welding, it is necessary to protect the casing from sparks. If you don’t have a welding machine at your disposal, you will either have to be content with the available selection of car seats, or contact a specialist.

Rear seats

The rear seats of the Zhiguli are the same as a sofa. On the VAZ 2107, a retractable armrest is made in the back of the sofa to improve the comfort of rear passengers. The upper and lower parts of the sofa are attached separately to the car body using clamps.

Rear seat removal and repair

It is better to remove the rear seats together. One on one side of the car, the other on the other side. The order of execution is as follows:

1. Open both rear doors, take the cushion on both sides and with a sharp upward movement pull it off the latches.

2. Move the pillow forward and take it out of the cabin through any of the doors.

3. At the bottom of the seat, on both sides, bend the plates using pliers and pull the lower part of the backrest forward.

4. Raise the backrest up until the hooks come out of the partition.

5. Pull the seat back out into the right or left door.

All operations for installing the rear seats are performed in the reverse order.

The rear sofa is more durable than the front seats, but sometimes requires repairs. More often this is re-upholstery or changing springs. Car enthusiasts rarely try to repair sofas. It’s easier to exchange for a used one from a foreign car, which is much simpler and more comfortable to use.

How to remove seats on a VAZ 2107 (2106)

Repair and tuning of the Six's interior includes the dismantling of car seats. Before removing the seats on a VAZ 2106, you will need to buy a socket set to “8” and an open-end wrench to “13”. When carrying out installation work, the lack of connection between the front seats is taken into account. They are mounted on a skid fixed to the body using 4 brackets.

Step-by-step instruction

First, the front seats are moved all the way forward (to provide access to the rear brackets). Then the chairs are moved back. To unscrew the bolts you will need a “13” wrench. Disconnect the electrical connector from the front seat. The next stage is dismantling the seats.

The brackets are tightened to a torque of 20 N.m. The seats are moved forward, the rear brackets are tightened using the same method. The wires are connected to the battery. If the slides are installed, they are lubricated with Fiol-1 or Litol-24.

To tune the interior of the VAZ 2106, you will also need to remove the rear seat. First, experts advise studying the design of the rear seat. This sofa consists of a cushion and a backrest. The first element is fixed with two spikes welded to the body of the “six”. These spikes are installed in special holes located along the edges of the sofa.

To remove the seat, you will need to insert a screwdriver between the floor of the “six” and the edge of the part being removed. By pressing the screwdriver, they undermine the sofa from its seats. The next stage is dismantling the backrest. This element is fixed with two brackets welded to the vehicle body. If the seat cushion is removed, the backrest is removed by lifting it upward. Such movements must be sharp. First we pull one side, and then the other. Installation of the sofa is carried out in the reverse order.

Repair work

Standard six car seats can break during operation. More often the chair adjustment does not function, misalignment or bedsores have appeared. To repair the seat, you will need to remove special latches along the edges. To remove the plate, use a flat-head screwdriver.

After dismantling the slide mechanism, it is recommended to inspect the chair frame. If the seat is damaged, repair work is carried out using a grinder, welding and a hammer. Then the frame is painted. The structure is assembled in reverse order.

To repair the back, you will need to remove the standard cover.

To do this, bend the teeth using a screwdriver. The next stage is dismantling the canvas and decorative inserts. After removing the entire cape, the back is dismantled. The frame is inspected for defects.

If a crack appears in the back, repair work is carried out using a hammer and plywood. A crack may also appear in the fastening of the rotating mechanisms. In this case, it will need to be cut out with a grinder. We repair the mechanism by welding and hammering. The next stage is assembling the rotating mechanism and synchronizing it. You will first need to clean and lubricate the connecting rod.

If the mechanism in the repaired unit works well, the structure is assembled. Then the functionality of the node is re-checked. The component elements of the mechanism must work synchronously and in parallel. The structure is clamped with a clamp, welded, protected and painted.

If the headrest of the VAZ 2106 seat is loose, insert copper strips into the clamps. It is recommended to clean and lubricate rusty fasteners. The headrest pillars have straight bottom slots. To quickly dismantle the head restraints, it is recommended to install lower grooves. The back and headrest are assembled in the reverse order. Repair work on the “six” seats has been completed.

How to remove a VAZ 2114 seat: we consider all options

Many car enthusiasts are wondering how to remove seats on a VAZ 2114 or how to replace them?

The reasons for such manipulations can be very different:

1. wear or serious damage to seats;
2. the need to replace the floor covering;
3. the need to glue the floors with soundproofing material;
4. reupholstery of seats with new material (for example, leather);
5. installation of alternative seats (both rear and front).

When choosing new seats to replace the basic ones, you should first of all pay attention not to their convenience and performance, but to the compatibility of their fastening with the fastening of the car.

In addition, various other situations may arise in which it may be necessary to dismantle and subsequently install the seats. We’ll look at how to do this as quickly and correctly as possible below.

Which is better to choose?

Let's now look at which of the listed seats is best suited for your car. It should be borne in mind that a lot depends on the availability of a particular seat option. It is not always possible to find a suitable option in good condition and for the best price. It is important to understand that worn-out seats from a foreign car will have worse characteristics than “Zhiguli” ones; take this into account when choosing.

READ How to start a car without a key VAZ 2107

If you have a junkyard nearby where old German cars constantly appear, then you are very lucky. Surely you can find seats from the Mercedes W210. They are not very popular among drivers of modern foreign cars, but for the VAZ 2107 are ideal. Moreover, at showdowns they usually don’t ask for much for them. At the same time, buying such seats secondhand can cost a significant amount.

If you live in Siberia or the Far East, then you better look for Toyota Corolla seats. Usually in the eastern regions there are no problems with searching, which cannot be said about the European part of Russia. In any case, if you can find such seats, purchase them. Not only do they fit perfectly, but they also look really good in the salon.

The remaining options listed in the previous part of the article make sense to use only if there are no more suitable options. As a rule, their installation requires additional modification of the fasteners.

PS They forgot to mention that they are also suitable for Mazda 6. There is an option to look for them at a disassembly site, chances are high that they will be there.

Novikov Maxim Glebovich – Repair of the seat back tilt regulator VAZ-2107.

This is probably completely funny, but today I am publishing another article about repairing broken parts of VAZ cars, which, as usual, cost pennies anyway. I was prompted to write this article by another breakdown of my car, namely the passenger seat backrest tilt adjuster. I don’t know who I drove so heavy (and I never bombed), but on the passenger seat the adjuster comb was completely cut off, and the backrest did not lock in any position at all, tipping over into the back seat when I tried to lean on it. Naturally, I was too lazy to go to the service center, and I decided to see for myself what was broken there, and whether it was possible to fix it myself.

In general, this breakdown happens on Zhiguli cars quite often. Usually, for repairs, the chair is removed, the welded comb is cut off, and a new one is welded. But at home, it would be possible to do without welding, simply by drilling out the spot welds, cutting off the weld with a chisel, and screwing the new comb into place through the drilled holes. But I didn’t have time to look for a comb, and I had already taken the drill from the dacha to Moscow (and I started doing repairs at the dacha). Therefore, I decided to simply fix the backrest in one position, since none of the potential passengers are particularly trying to adjust it.

So, the method for quickly fixing the tilt of the seat back of a VAZ-2107 car in case of a comb failure:

1. Remove the chair. To do this, move the chair all the way back, unscrew the two front bolts on its lower runners, then move the chair all the way forward and unscrew the two rear bolts on the same runners. We pull the chair out and turn it over, as if putting it on all fours. We study the lower part, in particular the latch itself.

The picture shows a chair back tilt lock with broken comb teeth. Thanks to the teeth, part 1 should be fixed in part 2, but since the teeth of part 2 are broken, fixation does not occur.

However, as you know, all the parts in Lada cars have clever design features, which seem to be specially laid out so that we can repair or modify these parts. Let's pay attention to the grooves of part 2, marked with arrows in the figure. They are approximately the same width as the distances between the ribs in part 1 (actually a little wider). This allows us to easily fix these two parts by inserting the part shown in the next photo.

2. We make a retainer. It is easy to make from a fairly common metal strip, a fragment of which can always be found by rummaging thoroughly in your or your neighbors’ barn. I found such a strip, and its width turned out to be exactly equal to the distance between the extreme points of the grooves, and the thickness was exactly equal to the width of the grooves, which is important for eliminating backlash. All that remains is to cut out a notch in the center and use sandpaper to slightly narrow the thickness of the plate within the boundaries indicated by the red lines, since, as mentioned above, the distance between the edges of part 2 is slightly less than the width of the grooves themselves, and therefore the thickness of the part.

Please note that the teeth of the clamp have different widths, corresponding to the depth of the grooves of part 2.

3. Now let’s adjust the desired level of inclination and hammer the lock into place, paying attention to its orientation (narrow tooth in a shallow groove, wide tooth in a deep one):

Instead of a retainer plate, you can probably use large self-tapping screws, screwed either into the holes formed by the grooves and the ribs aligned with them, or between the ribs and broken comb teeth. But this fixation did not seem reliable enough to me.

4. After you have driven the latch into the grooves and it tightly clasps part 1 with its cutout, slightly bend one of the teeth on the opposite side with a thick screwdriver so that the latch cannot spontaneously fall out:

I made the clamp 50 mm high, but, as you can see, it can be made a couple of centimeters smaller. Its size doesn't matter.

5. That's it. Turn the chair over and put it back in the reverse order. Now you can drive until you are ready to go to a car service center or until you scrap the car.

Tip 3: How to insulate the interior of a VAZ 2107

Insulating the interior of a VAZ 2107 car also has a beneficial effect on traffic safety. The driver feels comfortable behind the wheel and the car windows stop fogging up. To avoid finding yourself in a cold car on a stormy day, you need to prepare it for winter in advance.

You will need

• – screwdriver;

– a set of rubber seals;

• – sealant;
• - scotch;
• – heat insulator foil penofol 3mm.

Instructions

1. First of all, get rid of drafts. Deformation of low-quality rubber seals of domestic production in the VAZ 2107 car leads to the fact that it ceases to retain heat and “exhales” air. To check the tightness of your car, go to a car wash.

2. Check the interior after going through the exterior wash. Notice where and in what places the water has accumulated in the cabin. The presence of water indicates that the interior of the car does not retain moisture, which means that there is also a problem with the thermal insulation.

3. Don't waste time gluing or otherwise salvaging worn-out rubber seals. They won’t work anyway, and the cabin will be cold again. Purchase and install the latest kit, the one that will cost you 300-400 rubles.

4. Turn on the stove and check its operation in different modes. In case of malfunction, deal with the radiator. Disassemble the dashboard, remove the glove compartment and dashboard. Dismantling a radiator is not an easy job, however, its timely replacement or good repair with sealant will add 5-6 degrees of heat to the car in the winter cold.

5. Remove carpets and pads and cover the floor with pre-selected insulation. Please note that inexpensive insulation materials have poor performance characteristics. In addition, they have an outrageous odor, as they tend to absorb moisture and foreign odors in the cabin. Experienced drivers recommend 3mm foil penofol insulation. This material solves several problems at once. In addition to the insulation function, it also copes well with sound insulation tasks.

6. Next, proceed to insulating the doors. Remove the sheathing and polyethylene vapor barrier. Take penofol and start cutting out the insulation pads. It is acceptable to use a sample prepared in advance. Attach the gaskets with tape. Please note that you also need to cut holes for handles and levers and reinforce the insulation around them. Reinstall the door trim. Check the travel of the window handles.

7. If all of the above methods do not help, install a seat heater. This device does not solve the issue of thermal insulation of the cabin in general, but it perfectly improves the mood, warming both the driver and the passenger on inclement days.
