Many car enthusiasts are puzzled by the side mirrors on the Lada Vesta, many are interested in the question of whether they are a sphere or not. Do they fold, how do you take them apart? The developers tried to make revolutionary spherical mirrors on the Lada Vesta, by which the Lada Vesta can be distinguished from other AvtoVAZ cars. Reading numerous reviews about side mirrors on websites and forums, drivers identified both visible shortcomings and obvious advantages. Read the article and find out everything about it!
Advantages of side mirrors of Lada Vesta over other VAZ cars
Let Vesta not create a show effect like the Lamborghini Huracan. It must be admitted that the domestic geniuses of the automotive industry managed to combine all the wishes of regular customers in the side reflectors of the Lada Vesta:
- good location/good view;
- built-in turn signal and hazard warning repeaters;
- successful design of the repeaters (with a bend), which allows you to see the turn signal on in the reflector;
- heated rear view reflectors;
- electronic adjustment of the side mirrors;
- the ability to bend in the opposite direction, which prevents their breakage when they come into contact with obstacles (while driving backwards);
- possibility of folding manually.

Disadvantages of side rear view mirrors of Lada Vesta
The last point of advantage can be immediately renamed into a disadvantage, including:
- lack of an electronic adjustment mechanism for folding side mirrors;
- creaking during folding;
- reduction in the information content of the reflection when the car is moving, which causes rattling and shaking at speed or on a bad road;
- fogging of turn signal repeaters and hazard warning lights;
- if the LEDs of the turn signal repeaters fail, the entire assembly should be replaced;
- detachment of the mirror element at low temperatures during folding.
Almost all defects are eliminated by the manufacturer during the warranty period.
Adjusting the side mirrors of a Lada Vesta car
There are four control buttons on the driver's door control unit. For adjustment, there is a slider that has three positions (middle, far left and far right), which must be moved in the desired direction. After this, you can adjust them to the individual characteristics of the driver using the joystick, which is located above the slider. After adjustment, the slider must be returned to its original position, and the indicator lights should go out.
How to disassemble a side mirror on a Lada Vesta
To disassemble the side mirror at 2180, you need to do several simple manipulations. Since the Lada Vesta turn signal indicator is an electrical device, when removing the reflector it is necessary to remove the negative terminal from the battery. It is necessary to remove the trim from the car door pillar by first unclipping the upper and two lower latches. After this, you need to disconnect the wires and unscrew the three screws that secure the rear view reflectors to the door.
Once the reflectors are removed, their disassembly is almost complete:
1st step: turn the mirror element to the side until it stops to remove it (the reflector heating wires do not need to be disconnected);
Step 2: use a flat-head screwdriver to unclip the mirror element from the housing;
Step 3: To release the colored plastic trim clips, use a flat-blade screwdriver and then slide the trim to the side.
If you remove the side mirror, you can get to the mechanism that provides electrical power to the repeaters. After replacing the relevant parts, installation proceeds in the reverse order.
How to remove a rear view mirror without sensors
- On Lada Kalina, Largus and Grant, the bracket on which the mirror part is held is attached to the base on the glass using screws. By unscrewing them, everything can be easily removed.
- On Vesta and X-Ray, the mirror is inserted into vertical slots, so it simply slides upward. Duster, Logan, Sandero and other foreign cars assembled in our country are designed in the same way.
- On Lada Chevrolet there are two holes at the base of the mirror. A small flat screwdriver is inserted there and turned slightly. A small gap forms at the top, into which they also insert a screwdriver and pull slightly towards themselves. The fastening is loosened and the mirror is removed by pulling down.
- Some cars, for example Chevrolet Lanos, have rear view mirrors screwed onto a hexagon. To remove them, you will need to unscrew the fasteners with a hexagonal tubular wrench. When the fastening is loosened, the mirror must be pulled up.
- It is very easy to remove mirrors from Skoda Yeti, VW, VAG, Audi cars. You just need to turn them to the left and pull them towards you. The procedure is also carried out on other German and Czech-made machines.
- Mirrors on Hondas of the latest generations are quite easy to dismantle. These elements can simply be turned counterclockwise. In early models, they are mounted on the roof of the body and a stand resting on the windshield. You need to remove the stand by pulling it towards you, and then tilt the mirror down, disconnecting it from the roof. In this case, there is no need to unscrew anything, like in domestic cars with such a mount.
How to turn on heated mirrors
Starting in 2021, AvtoVAZ has equipped the 2180 with the additional function of “electric drive and electric heating of side reflectors.”
This function is activated only after starting the engine (so as not to damage the battery) and switching on the heater to the window blowing mode (windshield and side). After this, you need to press the button on the climate console, which is responsible for heating and blowing the reflectors, rear and windshields.
To activate this function on the luxury version of Lada Vesta, you need to press the leftmost button at the bottom on the car’s climate control unit with the inscription “MAX”.
At 20-degree frost (which is usual for an Eastern European winter), the following happens:
- after 1 minute the ice on the reflectors begins to melt;
- after 2-3 minutes the ice melts completely;
- after 4 minutes the mirror is clean and dry.
How to remove and disassemble the rear view mirror on Lada Vesta and XRAY
Side mirrors of Lada Vesta and XRAY cars are removed for replacement, repair or modifications. The process is not complicated, but it has certain features that it is better to know about in advance so as not to break anything. Before starting work, do not forget to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
What are mirror covers for Lada Vesta needed for?
The reflector cover in body color is installed by AvtoVAZ conveyors not only for the purpose of maintaining a unified design solution.
Firstly, the overlay on the rear view mirror improves the aerodynamic properties of the car.
Secondly, the pad eliminates the unpleasant sound defect when driving fast (whistle), which distracts the driver.
Thirdly, it is possible to choose chrome linings or linings in body color, which is quite profitable from a financial point of view.
