Replacing the window regulator VAZ 2106 and 2105: how to supply and install the mechanism, repair and diagram

Replacing the front door window regulator of a VAZ 2101, 2106 with your own hands

Hello! Today we’ll talk about such a simple, but at the same time not without secrets, matter, about replacing the window lifter on the VAZ 2101 and 2106. That is, the story will be about how to tame this unruly cable, in the post we mean short windows (2101), on long glasses (2107-05) have a slightly different cable movement pattern.

Window lifter VAZ

It is necessary to start the replacement with theory, so I present to your attention a diagram according to which a regular window lifter works.

As you can see, the cable moves along three rollers; when replacing a window lifter, it makes sense to lubricate them and check whether they rotate freely.

I won’t go into details about how to disassemble the door, it’s not difficult and everything is clear. The replacement must begin by dismantling the unusable window lifter; it is secured with three nuts on “8”; also, using a Phillips screwdriver, you need to unscrew the fastening of the glass strip to the cable and move the cable to the side.

Here you need to unscrew and move the cable to the side

After dismantling the old window regulator and checking the free rotation of the rollers, you can begin installing the new one. We take the new window regulator out of the box - it will look similar to the one shown in the first photo.

The rollers are in these places

Attention! You cannot remove the bracket on an uninstalled window lift that secures the cables in a wound state; if the cable comes off, the lift will get tangled and returning it to its previous position is oh, how difficult.

Next, we unwind the cable wound by the manufacturer, without touching the latch!

Latch! Do not remove until installation!

Next, you can screw the new window regulator onto the door, and put the cable on the rollers according to the diagram (photo 2). Near the lift body, the cable must cross, that is, the cable that comes out from the bottom of the drum goes to the upper roller, from the top of the drum to the lower roller.

It should look like this at first

After this, you can pull the cable onto the rollers; in order to do this, you will need to loosen the lower adjustable roller and stretch the cable according to the diagram. If suddenly there is not enough cable to put it on the rollers, then you need to put the cable on two rollers and remove the latch that secures the cables and, without loosening the tension of the cables, put it on the rollers.

Tension roller

Next, using this roller, we tighten the cable; it should not sag, but it should not be stretched like a string. Also, if you did not remove the lock, you can now remove it.

Now we put on the handle and try to rotate the lift; the cable should rotate easily, without jamming. Now we lower the glass to the very bottom, do the same with the window lifter, screw the cable to the bar, and now the installation can be considered complete.

Once!

Two!

Three!

Everything must work perfectly!

Electric window lifts "six"

The newly installed electric window lifts on the VAZ 2106 make it possible to eliminate the rotation of the window lifter handles when it is necessary to open the windshields at the front of the cabin. It also makes the trip more comfortable and allows you not to be distracted from the process of driving the vehicle.

Another serious advantage appears: when an additional electrical circuit is used in the installed alarm circuit, a method appears for operating the automation when closing the vehicle doors.

Many car enthusiasts are wondering how to replace the window regulator on a VAZ 2106 with a similar mechanism, but with an electric drive. Let us explain that there is nothing complicated in this technological operation; you must have basic plumbing skills and be able to use the tool.

The electric window lifter diagram for the VAZ 2106 is located here:

The device of window lifters VAZ 2107

A diagram of a window regulator for a VAZ 2107 car for the driver's door will help you figure out what the device is. Mechanism functionality:

opening/closing windows;
creating a comfortable microclimate in the cabin;
raising or lowering the glass to the required level.

These devices come in manual and electric types. In Zhiguli “standard” configurations, a mechanism is installed that opens using a special handle. The electric version allows you to perform this action by pressing a single key. A dashboard with buttons can be installed on the driver's door or personal switches can be placed for all locations where window regulators are installed.

Common faults and solutions

Over time, the window lifting mechanism becomes unusable - it is impossible to raise or lower the glass.

There may be several reasons for a device malfunction:

cable break;
foreign objects entering the mechanism;
gearbox wear.

There is no point in repairing window regulators, since their cost is low; it is easier to buy a new device and replace it.

Design and types of window lifters

The mechanical window lifter on the VAZ 2106 has a simple design and consists of a control handle, a glass lift transmission system, a cable and three rollers.

Many drivers install electric windows instead of classic ones.

They come in two types:

Cable. The design includes an electric motor with a drum on which the cable is wound, and a gearbox. The upper drum is connected to a conventional window lifter using a spline. With its help the cable is activated.
Rack and pinion. They use the principle of a steering rack in a car.

To install the electric mechanism, you need to purchase a kit consisting of wires, fasteners, backlit control keys, a decorative plug, and installation instructions (the author of the video is VALENTIN VERNIGORA).

Replacing the classic mechanism

The classic mechanism on the VAZ 2106 is a simple device for raising and lowering the windows, which is controlled using a handle. Despite its simplicity, Six car owners encounter situations when the device needs to be replaced. Given the age of the car, the mechanism may break or malfunction.

Remove the door where the window regulator will be replaced.
Disconnect the bar that secures the glass to the lifting cable. Move the cable itself to the side and remove the device.
Check how easily the rollers rotate. If necessary, lubricate them with lithol.
Attach the new mechanism to the standard connections, passing the cable along the rollers, as indicated in the installation diagram.
Pull the cable over the rollers without sagging or strong tension.
Secure the handles while rotating the lifting mechanism of the VAZ 2106 window regulator. The entire structure should rotate smoothly, without jolts.
Fix the glass in the lower position, lower the device, attach the cable to the bar.

How to replace or install power windows on a 6?

The standard front window lifter of the VAZ 2106 is an element of the interior of the car and is designed to allow air masses to enter the cabin and increase comfort in the vehicle when making trips of various durations.
In other words, when the windows are open, fresh air enters the cabin. The design of the system is quite simple: the VAZ 2106 window lifter mechanism consists of a window lifter cable moving between rigidly fixed rollers along a strictly defined route, a window lifter control handle and a window lift transmission system.

Car enthusiasts using the “six” sometimes have the question of replacing the window regulator if its lifting mechanism is defective. Let's look at how to install a window regulator on a VAZ 2106 so that distortions do not occur when moving the cable with the front window frame.

Installing rear power windows

Rear electric windows for VAZ cars are also sold in sets, 2 pcs. For front-wheel drive cars, ESP 2109 is suitable for models 21099/2114/2115; these parts are not produced for 2108, since the “eight” does not have rear side doors. The VAZ 2109 “Forward” kit includes:

two lifts with electric motors;
buttons 2 pcs.;
electrical wiring for each rear door with plugs;
fasteners - self-tapping screws;
decorative plugs;
installation instructions, passport.

The rear window lifters 2109 are installed in their standard places without drilling the doors; each of them is secured with two nuts.

Forward electric window lifts are manufactured in the city of Izhevsk, the parts have a rack and pinion design - the carriage moves on the rack along with the glass. For car models 2110/2111/2112, there is also no need to re-drill anything - the mechanisms fall into place without additional adjustment.

On VAZ cars 2101-07, electric lifts are installed with additional drilling of two holes. The work of installing the rear lifts is not difficult, and is practically no different from installing the front ESPs.

REPLACING ROLLERS

The seven window lifters have four rollers:

The first is a tension roller. It maintains the cable in a certain state of tension, but over time it “relaxes”;
The second and third are fixed on the glass. The left and right rollers transmit lifting torque when controlling the movements of the cable;
The fourth is fixed to the door and is motionless. It takes the lifting force.

In order to dismantle the rollers, you need to remove the door card and simply unscrew the nuts that secure them. They also need to be installed carefully. After new parts are installed, the structure must be reassembled.

Window lift repair

Since repairing a window regulator in most cases involves replacing the mechanism, it is worth considering the step-by-step process from removal to installation. To do this you will need the following list of tools:

heads or keys for 8 and 10;
extension;
ratchet handle;
flat and Phillips screwdrivers.

Removing the window regulator

The procedure for removing the device from the car is as follows:

Use a screwdriver to pry up and remove the plugs on the armrest. Use a screwdriver to pry the armrest plugs out
Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the fastening of the armrest to the door and remove it. Unscrew the armrest fastening and remove it from the door
We remove the trim of the window lifter handle by inserting a flat-head screwdriver between the socket and the trim element. Use a screwdriver to pry off the window handle trim
We dismantle the handle and socket. Remove the window handle and socket from the door
Use a flathead screwdriver to pry off the inner door handle trim. To remove the door handle trim, pry it off with a flat screwdriver.
We start the slotted screwdriver and push out the 7 clips that hold the door trim on the sides. The door trim is held in place with clips that need to be pryed off with a screwdriver.
Slightly lower the upholstery and remove it from the inside door handle. We remove the upholstery from the door, lowering it slightly
Lower the window completely and unscrew the cable clamp with a Phillips screwdriver. The cable is attached to the door glass using a suitable clamp
We unscrew the tension roller fastening, then move it and loosen the tension on the window lift cable. To release the tension roller, unscrew the nut with a 10mm wrench.
Remove the cable from the remaining rollers.
We unscrew the fastening of the mechanism and remove it from the door. To remove the window lifter, unscrew the 3 fastening nuts.
If the tension roller has become unusable, which can be determined by its external condition, then completely unscrew its fastening to replace it with a new part. To replace the tension roller, you must completely unscrew its fastening.

Replacing rollers

Window lifter rollers fail over time. Since replacing the top element is the most problematic, we will dwell on this process in more detail. The part to the door is fixed with hooks at the top, and with welding at the bottom. To work you will need the following set of tools:

set of drills;
electric drill;
flat screwdriver;
hammer;
new video.

The upper roller consists of the roller itself and the mounting plate

The replacement procedure consists of the following steps:

To remove the roller, we drill out the metal at the place where the plate is attached with a 4 mm drill.
We drive a flat screwdriver inside the door under the roller plate and knock it down with a hammer, dismantling the roller. Over time, the window lift rollers wear out with the cable.
Using the hole in the new plate, we drill a mounting hole in the door.
We install a new roller and secure it with a rivet or bolt and nut. The new roller is secured with a rivet or bolt and nut.

Window lifter installation

Before installing a new window lifter, you must check whether the rollers rotate freely. If necessary, lubricate them with Litol. The bracket that secures the cable should not be removed in advance so as not to confuse the mechanism, since returning everything to its original position will be quite problematic. We carry out installation as follows:

We install the window regulator in place, securing it with nuts.
We remove the bracket and place the cable on the rollers according to the diagram. The window lift cable must pass through the rollers according to a certain pattern.
We adjust the tension of the cable with the appropriate roller and tighten the fastening of the latter.
We fix the cable to the glass. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the fastening screw of the clamp.
We check the functionality of the mechanism.
We install the upholstery and door handle, as well as the window lifter handle.

REPLACING THE CABLE

In order to replace the cable if it breaks, you must follow the short instructions:

Remove the door card, and then remove the cable from the guides.
Apply a generous amount of lubricant to the cable before installing it.
First, pull the cable along the upper roller with the lower branch, and bring the upper branch to the lower roller.
At the top of the cable, fold a small loop and pull it to the hidden roller and secure it in a few movements.
After the cable is secured to all rollers, check how the window regulator works.

The installation is complete.

Design Features

Most owners of the seventh new generation model are confident that the process of replacing a window regulator is somewhat complicated. This is because the glass is connected to the supports and cable in not one, but 2 places. This decision required adding another video. Now there are 4 of them used (three for direction, one for tension).

It is quite possible to make the replacement yourself if you have simple tools:

Keys (8, 10).
Phillips screwdriver.

Replacing the "six" window regulator

How to install a window regulator on a VAZ 2106? The procedure for replacing the product is as follows:

We disassemble the door where it is necessary to install a window regulator to replace the faulty product;
We begin dismantling the defective product by removing the glass fastening strip to the window lift cable;
We move the cable to a position that does not interfere with work;
We remove the old window lift mechanism of the VAZ 2106;
We check the rollers for free rotation; if they lock during rotation, they must be lubricated with lithol.

Important addition:

1. It is forbidden to dismantle the bracket that secures the cable in the reel in assembled condition, otherwise, if the cable comes off the rollers when the reel is wound, the lifting mechanism will malfunction and it will be quite difficult to restore it to its previous condition.

2. When unwinding the cable for installation work, it is prohibited to touch the latch.

We attach the window regulators on the VAZ 2106 to the standard connections and pass the cable along the rollers according to the installation diagram;
In the area of the body part of the lifting mechanism, the cable must overlap, that is, its section coming out from the bottom of the drum is directed to the top roller, and from the top of the drum to the bottom roller;
We tension the cable on the rollers, for which we loosen the roller from below, which is subject to adjustment, and tighten it according to the attached diagram:

If the size of the cable is not enough, then you need to pull it onto 2 rollers and release the latch - clamp and place it on the roller elements without sagging;
After installing the window regulator, we tighten the cable without sagging, but also without special tension. If the locking device was not removed, it can now be released.
When securing the handles of the VAZ 2106 window lifters, we rotate the window lifter mechanism, and the entire system should rotate smoothly, without jolts or jams. Now we move the glass to the lower position, lower the windows, and attach the cable to the bar.

The procedure for removing and installing a window regulator on a VAZ 2106 on a video clip can be viewed on our Internet resource.

Seven The concept of glazing the side windows of the entrance door on the latest models of the classic VAZ reflects the style of modern automotive design technologies. It was in the description of the “seven” that the engineers previously left the general arrangement of glass in the front door - triangle - rectangle.

Design and types of window lifters

The mechanical window lifter on the VAZ 2106 has a simple design and consists of a control handle, a glass lift transmission system, a cable and three rollers.

Many drivers install electric windows instead of classic ones.

They come in two types:

Cable. The design includes an electric motor with a drum on which the cable is wound, and a gearbox. The upper drum is connected to a conventional window lifter using a spline. With its help the cable is activated.
Rack and pinion. They use the principle of a steering rack in a car.

The device of window lifters VAZ 2107

Every car enthusiast knows what a window lifter is. Its functions are simple: open and close the window, thereby regulating the microclimate and level in the cabin. There are two types of window lifters: manual (colloquially crutches or meat grinders) and electric, controlled from the dashboard or individual buttons.

At the manufacturer's factory, the VAZ 2107 was equipped with manual window lifters, which have a fairly simple design. They are based on the operation of a mechanism to which glass is attached using special fixing devices. The side windows are lowered and raised by turning a handle located inside the cabin.

What kind of window lifters are there on the "seven"?

During its existence, the VAZ 2107 was equipped with two types of window lifters:

Rack and pinion. They are considered more reliable. Installing this type of window lifter completely eliminates glass distortion. The mechanism works by transmitting the rotational force of the gear, which interacts with a linear rack, to the glass carriage. The main disadvantage is the need for constant lubrication, since the gears of the mechanism were made of plastic, which wears out quite quickly and can damage the entire mechanism.

Removal instructions

To complete the work you will need the following tools:

Phillips and flathead screwdrivers;
a set of keys;
knob;

The removal procedure consists of the following steps:

First of all, you need to remove the casing.

Then on the left side of the door, just loosen the roller nut using a wrench.
The cable is now free and can be removed from the roller.
Next, unscrew the three nuts holding the window regulator.
When unscrewing the third bolt, the mechanism should be held from the inside.
When the window lifting mechanism is free, move it to the side.
After unscrewing the last nut, you can remove the window regulator from the door.

Next, repair or replacement is carried out. The rear mechanism is installed in the same way.

Brief instructions for replacing the mechanism

In general, the procedure for replacing a window regulator looks like this:

The door trim is removed.
The cable is disconnected from the clips that hold the glass.
The cable is removed from the rollers.
Next comes the removal of the guide chute and the lift mechanism.
Installing a new window regulator.
Threading the cable.
Fixing the glass brackets and tensioning the cable.
Reinstalling the door trim.

To summarize, we note that the process of replacing a window regulator on a VAZ-2107 is a completely feasible task for the car owner. During the repair process, the main thing is to carefully follow all the recommendations and installing a new mechanism will not be a problem for you.

Electric windows for VAZ 2106

Having electric windows in modern cars is not a luxury. This convenient device, which facilitates the process of raising and lowering the windows, simply must be in the car, including the VAZ 2106. Let's figure out how to install window regulators, how difficult it is to replace the standard mechanism and how to do it yourself.

Replacing the classic mechanism

For the VAZ 2106, mechanisms for raising windows come in two varieties:

Kinds	Characteristics
Cable.	They consist of an electric drive with a gearbox and a reel with a wound cable. The upper drum is connected to the classic window lifter through slots and is designed to operate the cable.
Rack and pinion.	They have a different design and work on the principle of a steering rack in a car. Such devices are good for hard-moving car windows, since the mechanism itself moves easily.

The order of your actions when carrying out the procedure for removing a faulty product and installing a new one is as follows.

Remove the door where the window regulator will be replaced.
Disconnect the bar that secures the glass to the lifting cable. Move the cable itself to the side and remove the device.
Check how easily the rollers rotate. If necessary, lubricate them with lithol.
Attach the new mechanism to the standard connections, passing the cable along the rollers, as indicated in the installation diagram.
Pull the cable over the rollers without sagging or strong tension.
Secure the handles while rotating the lifting mechanism of the VAZ 2106 window regulator. The entire structure should rotate smoothly, without jolts.
Fix the glass in the lower position, lower the device, attach the cable to the bar.

Replacing the “six” window lifting mechanism is quite simple and does not require a lot of time and money.

Sequence of actions when installing a power window

In order to tune the “six” by installing electric window lifts, it is not necessary to go to a car repair shop. You can do this yourself. On the modern automotive parts market there is a large selection of power window kits. To install the device yourself, no special knowledge or skills are required. Typically, the power window kit includes electrical wiring, control keys, and fasteners.

Installing the mechanism is quite simple and is done in the following sequence.

Remove the door and install a power window. Use self-tapping screws to attach to the car door frame. This should be done carefully so that the door does not become deformed as a result.
Check the glass movement for ease of sliding. Adjust the guides if necessary.
Connect the electrical wiring, referring to the wiring diagram. Route the wires under the panel.
Assemble the door by installing the plugs in place of the handles.
Mount the control key in the instrument panel.
Connect the battery and check the system's functionality. This completes the installation.

When carrying out work on electrical equipment, disconnect the ground on the battery. Do not forget that the circuits of new mechanisms must be protected by fuses.

Types of window regulators - what will VAZ please?

Electric windows have recently been increasingly installed on domestically produced cars. The installation of such devices began at the dawn of the 2000s. Before this, all VAZ cars were equipped with ordinary cable-operated windows with manual controls.

The VAZ 2107, the production of which began in the late 80s of the last century, is equipped with a manual window lifter. This type of window control is familiar to most owners of VAZ cars. The VAZ 2110 model already has an electric window lifter, which is much more convenient and practical compared to the manual control type. Electrical devices are not something new. They began to be installed in imported cars back in the 80s, but this “know-how” reached our automobile industry only recently.

Based on the type of operating mechanism, window lifters can be divided into several types. The most basic and widely used in VAZ 2107 cars are rack and pinion, they require constant care and lubrication. It often happens that the gears of this mechanism are made of plastic, which is why the mechanism wears out catastrophically quickly.

Due to the type of construction, they require much more space in the car than cable ones. When using such window lifters, glass distortion is completely eliminated. The operation of the device is to transmit the rotation of a gear, which interacts with a linear type of rack on which the glass carriage is placed. Rack and pinion windows are reliable and produce less noise than cable windows.

The second type of window lifter is on a cable; by design, they are very weak and often fail. The main element of such window lifters is a cable and a torque mechanism. The advantage of this type of mechanism over others is its high maintainability. It is not difficult to carry out partial or complete repairs or replacement of parts in such a window regulator. Most often, the cable wears out, since it is very thin. The gears of this mechanism are made of plastic and tend to break when the glass is skewed. The cable window mechanism works quite slowly, especially if the glass rubber seals prevent this, so the electric motor tends to overheat and fail.

The newest window lifters that have recently begun to be used in VAZ 2110 cars are lever ones; their work is carried out using hinges. Such devices work very quickly and do not create noise inside the car, but they consume a considerable amount of power. They are used only in conjunction with an electric drive. The operation of the window lifter occurs due to the execution of a certain number of revolutions of the main flat gear, which transmits the revolutions to the levers of the mechanism. After this, the levers rotate and move the main plate on which the glass is attached.

The main disadvantage of the lever mechanism is the low speed of glass movement - the higher the glass rises, the lower the speed of its movement. The main feature of lever window lifters is the small size of the mechanism and the ability to install them on many VAZ cars. This type is installed on fully equipped VAZ 2110 cars, since it is more expensive and practical in its use. If your car has a cable or rack and pinion mechanism, then installing a lever mechanism will require some modernization of the car. It is better to carry it out at a specialized car service center.

Features of replacing the VAZ 2107 window regulator

For owners of other VAZ “classic” cars, replacing the VAZ 2107/2105 window regulator may seem unnecessarily complicated.

Since there are four rollers in total, one tension roller and three guides, and the cable is connected to the solid glass brackets in two places, the cable around the rollers can be routed in two ways - through the upper or lower rolling bearings.

When passing through the lower roller , the upper cable coming out of the mechanism is directed through: the lower left guide roller, the upper left guide support, the lower central tension roller, the upper right roller. As an alternative, a stroke is also made through the upper roller , which is done in the reverse order. In the same case, the lower cable is guided.

You should prefer the optimal tension force of the cable drive: the cable should not be overtightened, but should not dangle.

The first stage of replacing the front door window regulator on a VAZ 2107: removing the defective unit

The installation of a new glass movement mechanism is preceded by an operation to dismantle the worn window regulator. Before implementing it you should:

unscrew the three screws securing the door handle;
remove the door handle;
remove the door trim.

glass Before removing the original window regulator, it is recommended to tie two branches of the cable with a small piece of wire in the immediate vicinity of it. This move will not allow the cable to jump off the grooves in the drum, which makes it possible to reuse the mechanism.

Dismantling of the structure is carried out in the following sequence:

lower the glass until the cable fastening brackets to the glass brackets are accessible through the door's technological windows (within 1 turn of the window handle);
completely unscrew one screw and loosen the second screw of the bracket securing the cable to the supporting bracket; remove the cable (do it alternately for one and the second bracket);
raise the glass to its highest position and fix it using available means (in the process of replacing the front window regulator of a VAZ 2107, the following technique is most often used: insert a screwdriver into the hole on the inner door panel);
loosen the tension roller mounting nut (located in the center at the bottom of the door) using a “10” wrench;
remove the cable from the tensioner, guides of the lower (in the lower left corner) and two upper rollers;
unscrew the three nuts securing the window lift mechanism relative to the door;
unscrew the two nuts securing the guide groove and move it to the right;
remove the window regulator and remove it from the door.

After removing the mechanism, you should check the ease of rotation of each roller.
