Features of removing door trim on different versions of Lada Granta

Fastening diagrams

Lada Granta door cards are attached according to the standard pattern. The casing is plastic, fastenings are plastic latches and standard bolts. Place the fasteners around the perimeter of the insert. In this case, there will be 9 screws on the front door of the Grant, and the rear trim contains 10. To remove all bolted connections, use a screwdriver.

Proceed carefully, otherwise you risk breaking the bolted connections.

The final stage of dismantling the casing

How to remove the trim carefully? Using a plastic spatula, pry up the casing and carefully remove it from its engagement with the latches. Next we see the switching harnesses with cables. They are necessary to connect door mechanisms:

• window regulator;
• mirror drive;
• loudspeaker, etc. (depending on the configuration version).

We disconnect their connectors.

Upon completion of work, you should make sure that there are no broken clips. If any are present, then we replace them with new analogues. We assemble the casing on the LADA Granta in the reverse order. Now you have become familiar with how to remove the trim on a domestic car on the front door and, accordingly, the rear door.

Instructions

To tune Grants of standard or luxury modifications, you must first disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. If the stern doors are not equipped with electric drives, then this step is skipped. Purchase new clips in advance, since when removing the trim and the trim itself, the old ones are often damaged.

Then you need:

1. Remove the decorative panel plug - to remove it without damage, it is recommended to use a flat profile screwdriver. You need to work until you hear a click, and act carefully to prevent the fastener from breaking off.
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the fixing screw, and do the same with the bolt that goes inside the plastic socket.
3. Disassemble the plugs from the handle - remove them to gain access to a pair of screws, unscrew them, put them in a prepared box or other container.
4. To complete the disassembly of the casing, unscrew the last pair of bolt clamps installed at the bottom of the Grant door.
