Door cards for VAZ 2107 - how to install, what to choose, repair


Elements of the interior trim wear out over time and lose their attractive appearance. The door trim of the VAZ 2107 especially suffers during operation. Door cards become frayed, deformed and begin to poorly stay in place. You can simply replace them with new “stock” ones, or you can modernize the interior by installing homemade door cards based on thicker plywood. This solution improves the durability of the upholstery and the acoustic characteristics of the interior. The base can be sheathed with leatherette (leatherette).

VAZ 2107 SALON - DESCRIPTION

The “Seven” is equipped with a relatively comfortable interior, in comparison with other cars of the classic rear-wheel drive VAZ series. It has anatomical seats with high backs and headrests, an anti-glare dashboard and an electrically heated rear window.

The plastic from which the instrument panel and other interior elements are made is not of high quality and has a chemical smell that does not really erode, especially on new cars.

The salon is quite spacious. It is illuminated by a lamp located on the roof of the car and controlled using a manual switch. In addition, there are door switches that are installed in the door pillars. Note that the interior of the VAZ 2107 has many ergonomic flaws. For example, the ignition switch is located to the left of the steering wheel, which is inconvenient for a right-hander. There is also no rubber seal around the door perimeter, which is why the doors close with a specific knock.

As for the dashboard, it has a simple design and provides the motorist with only the necessary information, namely: engine and oil temperature, amount of fuel and revolutions, as well as the current speed of the car. The center console contains only the most basic components, in particular: air deflectors, heater control unit and cigarette lighter.

A distinctive feature of the VAZ 2107 is the presence of an analog clock. The buttons for activating the headlights, heated rear window and fan are located under the gearshift lever, which is not very common. The disadvantages of the Seven's interior also include the fact that the steering wheel is not adjustable at all, and the seats can only be moved on a slide.

Once upon a time, “classics” were valued for their high-quality interior. Today, alas, even here there are plenty of reasons for criticism

INTERIOR TRIM

A special feature of using a salon is that it is exposed not only to external factors (for example, sunburn), but also to humans. Over time, the finish accumulates odor, gets dirty and wears out. Therefore, many car owners decide to reupholster the interior. The modern market is represented by many different materials for upholstery, which is why it is sometimes difficult for car owners to make the right choice. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the table, which presents the materials that are used to reupholster the interior of the VAZ 2107.

TABLE: MATERIALS FOR INTERIOR UPHOLSTERY

MaterialAdvantagesFlaws
LeatherPractical to use; resistant to mechanical stress, temperature and humidity changes; is a soundproofing material; improves the acoustic characteristics of the interior. Dependence on temperature: in winter the interior freezes, and in summer it heats up; leather is expensive; Leather interior requires systematic care using special products.
VeloursSoft, warm and elastic material; easy to dry clean; resistant to damage; has an acceptable cost. Wipes down with intensive use; real velor is produced by a limited number of manufacturers, so there is a risk of purchasing a simplified, low-quality analogue.
AlcantaraElastic and repairable; practical to use; easy to clean; resistant to combustion; soft and comfortable; does not wear out and does not fade in the sun. It has no disadvantages except high cost.
DermantinIt is a budget alternative to genuine leather; It is easy to work with leatherette, as it is plastic and flexible. It is short-lived and easily deteriorates as a result of mechanical stress.
AutocarpetStretches well; has a wide range of colors; has excellent thermal insulation properties, does not collect dust and does not fade in the sun. Doesn't look very attractive.

SEAT COVER

If you have already decided on the material for seat upholstery, think about what color your chairs will be. It is advisable to choose the color of the material to match the upholstery. The simplest option is to cover the seats with a single-color material. However, a combination of several colors will make your interior more original and exclusive.

Seat reupholstery is done as follows:

  1. We remove the seats from the car.
  2. Remove the standard cover from the chair.
  3. We separate the cover at the seams to transfer it to new material.
  4. We apply each part of the standard cover to the new material and press it with a weight. We outline with a marker.
  5. Use scissors to cut out the details of the new cover.
  6. Using glue, we strengthen the elements of the cover with foam rubber.
  7. We sew the reinforced elements.
  8. We glue the seam flaps and trim off the excess material.
  9. We beat off the seams with a hammer.
  10. We sew the lapels with a double finishing stitch.
  11. We put covers on the seats. We start stretching from the back.

DOOR TRIM

Decorative door panels and plastic elements on the VAZ 2107 are attached using disposable polymer clips. This is technologically advanced and cheap, but not reliable enough, so after a while the panels begin to creak.

You can fix this problem yourself:

  1. First, the interior elements are dismantled (lock and window lifter handles, armrest and others). The door trim is removed using a screwdriver.
  2. Next, the door panel is removed and laid on a sheet of plywood 4 millimeters thick. The outline is drawn with a marker.
  3. The plywood blank is cut with a jigsaw, and the edges are sanded.
  4. The sheathing is made using a sewing machine.
  5. Foam rubber is glued to the plywood, on top of which the fabric is attached. Don't forget to make holes for the interior parts. The panel is attached to the door using decorative bolts.

REAR SHELF TRIM

To reupholster the rear acoustic shelf, you will first need suitable material. The shape of the shelf is uneven with indentations, so it is better to use materials that stretch well. Another important point is the glue. It is advisable to purchase a two-component version - this is what specialized studios use when reupholstering plastic and other interior elements.

Work order:

  1. Remove the back shelf and take it to a well-ventilated area so that the glue smell dissipates faster.
  2. Clean the shelf from dust and dirt for better adhesion.
  3. Apply glue to the material and shelf. Wait until it dries a little (the waiting time is different for each glue, it should be indicated on the glue package).
  4. Apply the material and start smoothing from the middle to the edges.
  5. As a final step, leave the shelf to dry for 24 hours. You can put a weight on top to prevent the material from peeling off.

FLOOR COVERING

Many owners of the “Seven” mistakenly believe that linoleum can be installed instead of the factory carpet. This is the wrong decision, since linoleum absorbs moisture well, which is why the floor in the “seven” will rot very quickly. However, you can lay down linoleum for a while until you lay down carpet, which looks more aesthetically pleasing and has soundproofing characteristics.

Car carpet
It is better to choose the color of the car carpet dark gray - dirt is practically invisible on it

You can buy regular household carpet. It is better to choose synthetic material with short pile. For example, polyamide or nylon - it is easy to clean and can last more than ten years. Carpet made of polyester and acrylic will also work. They have a hard pile, so they don’t actually wear out. If you need a budget option, buy a polypropylene coating.

Instructions for installing carpet in a car:

  1. Dismantle the seats and remove the old covering.
  2. Before laying carpet, treat the floor with bitumen or rubber mastic. If there is rust, clean it and treat it with special anti-corrosion agents (for example, LIQUI MOLY).
  3. Make cuts in the rug where needed.
  4. Carefully lay the carpet on the floor. The cut parts should match the parts.
  5. Wet the carpet with water and shape it by stretching it.
  6. Remove the material from the interior and leave it to dry for a while.
  7. When the carpet is dry, reinstall it.
  8. Secure the material with double-sided glue or tape.

Features of dismantling

Before work on reinstalling the door trim, you need to prepare a tool. You will need:

  1. Plywood sheet up to 4 mm.
  2. Door latches and clips are sold as a set, matching the interior color.
  3. Foam rubber, sheet up to 10-15 mm thick.
  4. Material.
  5. Glue.

To cover doors 2107, you can use an old part; if the factory plywood is not deformed, this will make the work easier.

Dismantling the panel proceeds in steps:

  1. Pull out the bracket securing the window regulator.
  2. Remove the window lifter handle. If the mechanics were reinstalled on the power window, remove the clamp covering the standard hole.
  3. Remove the plugs on the door handle, unscrew the armrest bolts, and remove the element.
  4. Remove the trim panel from the door handle.
  5. Remove speakers and adjacent electrical appliances, if installed.
  6. Carefully pull the door card towards you and remove the panel.

Dismantling takes up to 10 minutes, it is important to unscrew the bolts sequentially; if the interior has been modernized, and the door has additional clips along the edge of the card, remove them first.

SOUND INSULATION OF THE INTERIOR

A significant drawback of the VAZ 2107 is the increased noise in the cabin when driving. To eliminate it, it is necessary to soundproof the interior. This is a somewhat costly procedure, although not complicated. Sound insulation materials can be divided into three groups: heat insulators, sound insulators and vibration dampers, but on the modern market there are universal products that combine all the properties.

Note that for ease of installation, virtually all materials are made on a self-adhesive basis. Some of them must be heated with a hairdryer during installation. The first to install is a vibration-insulating material (vibroplast), which dampens vibrations of the body, engine and suspension. Next comes a sound-absorbing layer (bitoplast), which prevents extraneous sounds from entering the cabin. In order not to separate into two layers, you can take a universal material.

In addition to soundproofing materials, you will need:

  • Screwdrivers.
  • Hair dryer.
  • Degreaser.
  • Roller.
  • Scissors.

SOUND INSULATION OF BOTTOM AND WHEEL ARCHES

For external treatment of the bottom and wheel arches, you must do the following:

  1. Wash the car thoroughly, especially the parts being treated.
  2. Let the car dry, blow out the cavities with an air stream.
  3. Prepare the surface by degreasing it with special solvents, for example, white spirit.
  4. Apply sound insulation to the required surfaces of the car using a spray gun or a paint brush.
  5. Do not leave gaps; the mastic layer should be uniform.
  6. Install fender lockers in the wheel arches and secure them with self-tapping screws.

SOUND INSULATION OF DOORS

Soundproofing of doors is carried out in order to get rid of external noise and improve the sound quality of the acoustic system. This process is quite painstaking and requires dismantling the door trim and interior elements.

Do-it-yourself soundproofing of VAZ doors

The sound insulation kit includes only damping material, but surface treatment with sound absorbers will not be superfluous.

  1. After dismantling the door trim and interior parts, treat the surface with a degreaser.
  2. The first layer is to apply vibration insulation. The material is glued to the inside of the door through special technological holes. Silver vibroplast has proven itself well here. The material must be glued tightly, without missing a single millimeter.

    As a rule, anti-corrosive coating is applied to car doors. Remove it, otherwise the vibroplast will not stick. Before gluing the material, adjust all locks and rods to avoid rattling.

  3. Next we glue the bitoplast, its thickness should be four millimeters.
  4. Then you need to tape the outside of the door under the cards. This is good for audiophiles. Completely seal the access holes to seal the part of the door where the speaker is located.
  5. Treatment with a vibration filter will make it possible to increase the rigidity of the door, which has a good effect on the sound of acoustics.
  6. Cover the outer sides with Visomat and then with Splen.
  7. After gluing, heat the vibroplast with a hairdryer, smoothing the material with a roller or palms.

SOUND INSULATION OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT

The engine is one of the main sources of noise in a car. The work order is as follows:

  1. First of all, clean the inside surface of the hood from dirt and dust.
  2. Next, degrease the surface with solvents.
  3. Attach a sheet of finished sound insulation to the hood and cut along the contour.
  4. If you purchased material on a self-adhesive basis, simply stick it on the required surface, having first removed the protective film.
  5. Be sure to add a layer of foil to improve heat reflection, protect the soundproofing layer and increase the engine warm-up rate in winter.

Materials for upholstery

Drivers have hundreds of options available to them regarding which door trim material to choose for tuning their car. Most often chosen:

  • auto fabric;
  • thick textiles;
  • genuine leather;
  • leatherette option, euro leather, Alcantara.

The most affordable artificial materials remain: vinyl and leatherette. The advantage of the set is its durability and the ability to be treated with leather detergents.

Luxury door upholstery involves the use of expensive materials: genuine leather, artificial Alcantara or almara. The material is soft, stretches well, and is highly durable. The price depends on the brand and production features; rough natural leather is cheaper than processed and dyed almara with an additional layer of insulation.

Ajar door elements

Textile upholstery only has the advantage of a variety of colors. You can choose colored upholstery that will harmoniously fit into the overall style of the interior. The disadvantages of textiles include difficulty in cleaning; not all stains can be removed.

FRONT PANEL

Tuning the console is its optimization, which will result in the appearance of a number of advantages and useful little things in the car. The purpose of this modernization is to make the front panel more functional and original. You can replace the torpedo with a similar one from the VAZ-2115. But be prepared for the fact that during installation there may be a problem with gaps that need to be sealed with foam.

You can also install a front panel from a foreign car on the “seven”. The best option is a dashboard from a BMW E30. In addition, an analogue from TOYOTA Camry is often used. In this case, trim the element a little on the sides, install electric windows and select the correct cover for the steering wheel. As an option, you can sheathe a standard dashboard with carbon fiber or fabric, which will give it a bright and original appearance.

DASHBOARD

The car interior is equipped with a dashboard for the driver to monitor driving parameters, the health of the main units and detect emergency breakdowns. All the main elements on the instrument panel are placed under protective glass.

Possible ways to modify the instrument panel of the VAZ 2107:

  • You can buy ready-made improved elements and install them in place of the standard ones.
  • You can buy additional devices (on-board computer, thermometer, etc.) and organically fit them into the design of the VAZ 2107 dashboard.
  • You can independently tune the instrument panel by installing LED lighting, as well as replacing the scale and arrows on the instruments.

GLOVE BOX

The glove compartment is one of the weak points of the VAZ 2107 interior. Unlike previous VAZ models, the glove compartment on the seven opens downwards. And when the car is in use for a long time, the glove compartment often opens spontaneously on potholes and bumps. The reason for this is loose hinges and fastening of the lock. If nothing is done, over time it will not close at all. Not to mention the rattling sound when driving, which distracts the driver's attention and irritates him.

Perhaps all happy owners of VAZ 2107 know the problem of the glove compartment lid

To fix the problem, many car owners try to bend the lock tab on the lid, which does not give a positive result. You actually need to bend the tab on the panel. If this does not help, stick sponge rubber along the length of the lid, which will ensure that the lid is lightly spring-loaded when closing. If the hinges are worn out so much that the proposed methods do not help, try fixing them using furniture or other small-sized magnets.

GLOVE COMPARTMENT LIGHTING

The illumination of the glove box on the VAZ 2107 also leaves much to be desired: it is poorly implemented, practically does not shine and rarely functions correctly.

Installing an LED strip is the easiest option for upgrading the glove compartment lighting. It is advisable to give preference to insulated tape, since the light-emitting elements in it are protected from damage using a special composition. The optimal length of the LED strip is 10–15 centimeters. It is advisable to mount it in the upper part of the glove compartment so that the light is directed into the glove compartment.

Eliminating squeaks

Creaking doors or clips can be easily eliminated if you follow the tips below:

  • A thin strip of anti-creaking agent is glued along the contour of the back side of the casing. In this way, you can eliminate the creaking caused by the metal surface of the door;
  • To eliminate the squeaking noise produced by the clips, glue anti-creak around the holes;
  • The anti-creak can also be glued to the pad intended for fixing the clip. In this case, the clips will not dangle;
  • There is another way - to install rubber washers between the seat and the piston on the upholstery;

Fighting the squeak

The next method involves purchasing original door card mounting piston. They are also called Euro pistons and they do not creak.

Video review and thematic photos - materials will help you do your own work, no worse than an experienced assistant. The price of sound insulation from specialists at service stations is not cheap, which justifies the training.

SEATS

And although the seats of the “Seven” are considered the most valuable of the entire VAZ (classic) family, they have a significant drawback - the front seats are flimsy and break quite quickly. Over time, the back of the driver's seat begins to warp, and even if it is welded, this will not last long. In addition, the upholstery on the seat is worn out, which looks unattractive.

The simplest option for improving the seats is to purchase covers, but if the seats are very loose, you can replace them with new stock, “foreign”, sports or anatomical ones.

WHAT SEATS ARE SUITABLE FOR VAZ 2107

In addition to stock factory seats, the VAZ 2107 can be equipped with seats from foreign cars. For example, analogs from the 1996 Mercedes W210 and 1993 Toyota Corolla are perfect for this purpose. They are easily attached to the standard "seven" bolts.

Seats from Fiat or SKODA are also a good option. But in this case, you will have to make two additional holes for more secure fastening. Elements from Nissan and Peugeot can also be used, but during installation you will encounter certain inconsistencies. Volkswagen seats fit well on the 7 without any modifications. They are comfortable, but too high, so it is better to abandon this option.

HOW TO REMOVE THE HEAD RESTRAINTS AND SHORTEN THE SEAT BACK

You can shorten the seat back by trimming it. To do this, the chair must be dismantled and disassembled. Using a grinder, a part of the frame is sawed off. This type of work is very labor-intensive, so it is better to turn to specialists. As for the VAZ 2107 headrests, removing them is very simple; to do this, you just need to pull it up until it stops and press the latch.

The process of manufacturing and installing a door card with trim

Making a door fragment with trim is no more difficult than dismantling the old one.
To do this, you will need a standard set of tools, as well as: glue, soundproofing products, and a drill with attachments. First, a piece for covering is cut out from the purchased fabric, and an old piece of material is used in the form of a pattern. If measurements are taken from a panel structure, then you need to leave an allowance of at least 1–2 cm at the edges. It is important to immediately cut holes for the handle, speakers, and fasteners. Manufacturing instructions:

  1. The fabric is stretched, folds are straightened, holes for fastenings are drilled.
  2. The fragment is cut out with an allowance of 1 cm, then fixed with glue to the plywood.
  3. The finished element is mounted in the door using clips.

For cladding, it is better to use a solid sheet; otherwise, you need to make sure that the fasteners do not get into the joints.

INTERIOR LIGHTING

Refinement of standard lighting will increase comfort in the cabin and embellish it. You can take a lampshade from Priora, as it has the required characteristics and looks impressive. For materials you will need: masking tape, a sharp knife, a marker, a 12" wrench and a screwdriver. First you need to remove the front roof visor. Use a marker to outline the location for installing the new lampshade. Cut the visor along this contour. Then you need to attach the lampshade and fill the seams with sealant.

general information

Before you start soundproofing doors, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the general rules:

The first layer must be vibroplast.

Sound insulation of doors 2107 VAZ

  • On top of Technobit there is a layer of Shumka;
  • Carrying out sound insulation (see Sound insulation of a car interior on your own) is also divided into stages: first, the door is covered with 7 mm Technoplast. If you intend to install powerful speakers, stick a 5-10 mm Spectrum circle on the surface of the door that is closer to the street, preferably 30-50 percent larger than the holes for the speakers. In this case, greater emphasis is placed on absorbing reflected waves from the speaker system so that they do not in any way affect the speaker driver. As for the technology of pasting soundproofing material, it is installed in a single sheet.

UPGRADES OF THE VAZ 2107 OVEN

As you know, the efficiency of the VAZ 2107 heater is extremely low, which causes dissatisfaction among the owners of the “Seven”. Upgrading the stove will help solve this problem. There is no need to improve the heater radiator, since it gives off the optimal amount of heat. This means that to increase the efficiency of the stove it is necessary to improve the airflow system.

The simplest tuning, which does not require virtually any design changes, is to replace the standard fan motor with the one used in the VAZ 2108–2109. This motor has more power and higher speed. To install it, you need to slightly modify the stove body.

Heater fan VAZ 2107
Modification of the VAZ 2107 stove

Replacing the standard stove tap will also not be superfluous. The tap is located in the passenger compartment of the “seven” in the passenger’s foot area. Sometimes car owners find out about it only when there is a coolant leak, which causes a lot of trouble. Replacing the faucet with a similar new product solves the problem only for a while. Therefore, experts recommend replacing it with a curved sealed tube. This will stop the leaks, but you won't be able to shut off the antifreeze flow to the radiator. Because of this, the cabin will be very hot in the summer.

As an option, you can install a regular water tap to supply coolant to the heater radiator in the engine compartment. The only inconvenience of such tuning is the need to open the hood in order to manipulate the tap.

Door card manufacturing process

The old textile or leatherette covering is used as a template when marking the new one. It is necessary to attach the old cladding to the new material and mark with a pencil the cutting lines and places for the standard holes:

  • door handle fastenings;
  • places for armrest bolts;
  • stereo system speakers.

If you plan to replace a mechanical window regulator with an electric one, do not mark the location for the hole. At the preparatory stage, do not make any holes in the door trim.

Making a door card, which is a plywood sheet of a certain size, follows the steps:

  1. Clearly outline the contours on the new sheet according to the old template.
  2. Mark the locations for the holes.
  3. Using a jigsaw, cut the card around the perimeter, drill holes, and process the nipple to the required size.

Prepare foam rubber. The backing can be glued directly to the art, but it is better to use a fabric backing and glue a sheet of foam rubber to the textile base. This will allow you to clearly stretch the foam and avoid overuse of glue, which is quickly absorbed. Work process step by step:

  1. Glue the foam rubber in several places onto the fabric base. Let dry.
  2. Using the finished card, mark the backing from the base side, leaving an allowance of up to 1 cm along the edge.
  3. Glue the foam backing onto the plywood.
  4. Cut the marked holes in the foam.
  5. To clearly and quickly cut through the foam rubber from the door card side, pierce the center of the future hole with an awl and cut through the fabric side.
  6. Trim the backing, leaving up to 10 mm allowance around the perimeter of the card.

The panel can be sheathed with a solid piece or a sewn piece of the selected material. If the sheathing consists of two or more pieces, you must ensure that the holes are not cut along the machine stitch line. It is necessary to trim the pattern, leaving an allowance around the perimeter of up to 5 cm. Vinyl leather and Alcantara are significantly deformed when shrinking. The pile in textile upholstery should not be rolled up when the holes for the handles are cut.

The process of stretching the trim onto the door card:

  1. Place the selected material face down on a table or any flat surface.
  2. Cover the card with foam side down.
  3. Use a spoiler to secure the lower part of the trim in one place in the center.
  4. Pull the material tight and secure the sheathing on the opposite side with a single prick.
  5. Attach the material on the other two sides in the same way.
  6. Align any possible folds and secure them at the corners of the panel.
  7. Covering a door panel is not reupholstering furniture; it is enough to secure the material well to the panel in the corners and several times in the center of each side.
  8. Trim the material around the perimeter, leaving up to 1 cm near each staple.
  9. Make holes on the back side with an awl, cut out an entrance for handles, armrest, speakers.

The door panel is installed using the reverse algorithm. If the car used additional clips for installation, it is recommended to buy a new set that matches the overall style.

A simple interior tuning can transform a VAZ 2107 beyond recognition. Wooden panels, inserts on the central and side pillars, dashboard and seat trim are used as additional decorative elements.

Seat belts

Seat belts (hereinafter referred to as SB) require replacement if they are worn out or the locking device is faulty. Also, the RBs must be replaced if they were stressed during an accident. The VAZ 2107 is equipped with seat belts with inertial reels. To replace the front seat RB, do the following:

  1. Remove the decorative trims of the lower and upper mountings of the RB to the central pillar by prying them off with a screwdriver.
  2. Using a key set to “17”, unscrew the bolt of the upper mounting of the RB.
  3. Using the same key, unscrew the lower fastening bolt and remove the belt and reel.
  4. Next, unscrew the fastening bolt of the RB clamp to the floor tunnel and remove it.
  5. Installing a new belt is done in reverse order.

  • places for armrest bolts;
  • stereo system speakers.

If you plan to replace a mechanical window regulator with an electric one, do not mark the location for the hole. At the preparatory stage, do not make any holes in the door trim.

Making a door card, which is a plywood sheet of a certain size, follows the steps:

  1. Clearly outline the contours on the new sheet according to the old template.
  2. Mark the locations for the holes.
  3. Using a jigsaw, cut the card around the perimeter, drill holes, and process the nipple to the required size.

Prepare foam rubber. The backing can be glued directly to the art, but it is better to use a fabric backing and glue a sheet of foam rubber to the textile base. This will allow you to clearly stretch the foam and avoid overuse of glue, which is quickly absorbed. Work process step by step:

  1. Glue the foam rubber in several places onto the fabric base. Let dry.
  2. Using the finished card, mark the backing from the base side, leaving an allowance of up to 1 cm along the edge.
  3. Glue the foam backing onto the plywood.
  4. Cut the marked holes in the foam.
  5. To clearly and quickly cut through the foam rubber from the door card side, pierce the center of the future hole with an awl and cut through the fabric side.
  6. Trim the backing, leaving up to 10 mm allowance around the perimeter of the card.

The panel can be sheathed with a solid piece or a sewn piece of the selected material. If the sheathing consists of two or more pieces, you must ensure that the holes are not cut along the machine stitch line. It is necessary to trim the pattern, leaving an allowance around the perimeter of up to 5 cm. Vinyl leather and Alcantara are significantly deformed when shrinking. The pile in textile upholstery should not be rolled up when the holes for the handles are cut.

The process of stretching the trim onto the door card:

  1. Place the selected material face down on a table or any flat surface.
  2. Cover the card with foam side down.
  3. Use a spoiler to secure the lower part of the trim in one place in the center.
  4. Pull the material tight and secure the sheathing on the opposite side with a single prick.
  5. Attach the material on the other two sides in the same way.
  6. Align any possible folds and secure them at the corners of the panel.
  7. Covering a door panel is not reupholstering furniture; it is enough to secure the material well to the panel in the corners and several times in the center of each side.
  8. Trim the material around the perimeter, leaving up to 1 cm near each staple.
  9. Make holes on the back side with an awl, cut out an entrance for handles, armrest, speakers.

The door panel is installed using the reverse algorithm. If the car used additional clips for installation, it is recommended to buy a new set that matches the overall style.

A simple interior tuning can transform a VAZ 2107 beyond recognition. Wooden panels, inserts on the central and side pillars, dashboard and seat trim are used as additional decorative elements.
