How to set grant thresholds

Setting internal grant thresholds

Many inexperienced owners of the Lada Granta Liftback (Sedan) claim that the door sills from the Lada Kalina are compatible with the Granta. This is partly true, if you don’t measure it down to the millimeter.

Setting internal grant thresholds

In fact, after installing the plastic thresholds from Kalina, an overlap of a couple of centimeters is formed. The value is not critical, for many it is completely unnoticeable, but complete compatibility should not be asserted.

Every car enthusiast encounters clutter and contamination of trim elements in the cabin; thresholds for the Lada Granta can help solve the problem; we will look at their price description and do-it-yourself installation in this article. Dirt is carried into the interior on shoes - a natural process. To protect the body and trim from dirt, the car contains mats and door sills made of polymer materials. And if modern cars have floor mats by default, they are often left without protection, especially in budget trim levels. In this case, you will have to install them yourself.

Preparatory stage before installing thresholds on the Lada Granta Liftback

Setting internal grant thresholds

Required tools:

  • Phillips head screwdriver;
  • a set of linings, the type is chosen by the owner based on preferences;
  • plastic pistons (at “6”) and cone-shaped screws with a flat head for screwing in in the amount of 16 pieces, 4 for each of the thresholds;
  • stationery knife, side cutters;
  • doorway seal, subject to damage (wear) of the previous one.

Do-it-yourself installation of plastic thresholds on the Lada Granta

You ordered the treasured thresholds from the store, picked them up and are about to install them. To do this, you will need the following set of tools:

  • Crosshead screwdriver;
  • Slotted screwdriver;
  • A stationery or pocket knife (the latter is preferable);
  • Wire cutters;
  • Self-tapping screws or self-tapping screws (if not included, select your own).

First of all, we will remove the protective rubber bands that seal the connection between the door and the thresholds. Afterwards you will need to detach the small plastic element that protects a small area on the inside. The factory carpet is attached with ordinary construction staples; they will have to be bent using a slotted screwdriver or knife (be extremely careful). Having folded back part of the interior covering, find the standard rectangular holes. Clips (a kind of plastic sleeve) are placed in these holes. Using a knife, you will need to make slits in the sheathing in places where the carpet covers the holes.

Please note that the slot must clearly follow the shape of the clip. If you make it smaller, the clips will not sit in the mounting hole and may rise up when the screw is screwed in.

At this stage, it is already possible to return the door seal to its proper place. All that remains is to figure out how the trim will be located on the threshold and simply screw it on using self-tapping screws or screws prepared in advance. Do not overdo it: it is very easy to twist the self-tapping screw, you should not tighten it too much. Otherwise, you will have to remove the clip and replace it with a new one (a twisted one will not hold the fastener, and such fasteners will be of no use).

Video instruction

To protect the carpet in the interior of Lada Granta, Kalina and Priora cars, the plant installs plastic door sill covers. However, these accessories are not available on simpler trim levels. Let's figure out whether such threshold covers are needed and how difficult it is to install them yourself.

The main purpose of internal door sill trims is to protect the edges of the carpet from dirt and dust. This is especially true for owners who transport children in their cars.

Currently, you can buy a set of plastic door sill covers for 300-650 rubles (without delivery). You can find them in online stores by catalog numbers:

  • Front right (Granta/Kalina – 1118-5109076; Priora – 2170-5109076)
  • Front left (1118-5109077 and 2170-5109077)
  • Rear right (1118-5109078 and 2170-5109078)
  • Rear left (1118-5109079 and 2170-5109079)

If the kit does not include mounting screws (16 pcs) and bushings (16 pcs), then they can be found using article numbers 1118-8212786 and 1118-8212778, respectively.

Sequence of actions when setting thresholds

  1. We place the car on a level platform, open the doors, and begin dismantling work.
  2. We start with the driver's door, unscrew the four standard screws from the trim, and remove it.
  3. We insert polymer pistons into the holes, they fit perfectly.
  4. We apply the threshold and screw it with self-tapping screws.

When it comes to installing stainless steel trims and decorative inserts on the outer threshold, we use double-sided tape instead of screws. We pre-treat the surface, remove dust, dirt, and moisture.

Setting internal grant thresholds

Some service stations and tuning studios practice fitting metal onto self-tapping screws, but not every owner agrees to drilling a number of through holes in the car. By analogy, we complete the installation on the remaining sections of the thresholds.

Well done. A couple of questions: are there already holes in the thresholds or did you drill them? And the second question: are the linings factory or anonymous craftsmen?

the holes are standard, in the front where the fender even the standard clip for the self-tapping screw was on top, the rest had to be installed new ones, the trims from the officials cost 600 rubles, but at the car market they were 400, I got them there, I don’t know whether they were standard or not, but the clips for the screws at the car market were 50 They cost rubles apiece, and the dealer had 10 rubles, so first I drove through everything, looked at the price tags, and then bought them.

Well done. A couple of questions: are there already holes in the thresholds or did you drill them? And the second question: are the linings factory or anonymous craftsmen?

I had these installed at the factory.

I went into the salon, some have them, some don’t. .

It depends on the configuration. I installed them myself the other day, but it took me an hour.

yes, that’s understandable, I had a pre-luxury set with casting for 15... there’s nothing in it except Conder, but the steering rack was already at 3 turns, when I changed it after 110,000, I had to pay 8600 for it and 2000 for the work

Well, I don’t know if they are needed, somehow they don’t fit

I'm tired of vacuuming up sand after passengers. .it will be cleaner

Every motorist has had to deal with an unpleasant situation - significant contamination of the interior. The penetration of dust and dirt compounds onto decorative carpet upholstery is not so dangerous, because cleaning can be done using a regular car vacuum cleaner. But, nevertheless, now there are special sill covers, as well as internal linings that will help make your task easier.

What to do if moisture penetrates into the interior and provokes the occurrence of corrosion spots? To do this, there is an excellent and relatively inexpensive option for solving this problem - using door sills. Self-installation of linings directly on the Lada Granta sills takes no more than an hour and a half.

Reviews

Positive
1.Alexander , 32 years old: of course, there was a catastrophic lack of additional inserts in the standard configuration. After two years of using the car, the paint began to peel off. On the recommendation of friends, I installed overlays from Lada Kalina. They are a couple of centimeters longer, but the fastenings are the same.
2.Kirill , 32 years old: after buying a car from the showroom, I installed polymer door sills. Now the paint will not be damaged.
3.Mikhail , 41 years old: a garage friend bought stainless steel pads and installed them with double-sided tape. It looks beautiful. I did it by analogy. No complaints, I'm happy.
4.Vitaly , 35 years old: despite the negative comments about the thresholds from Kalina, I installed them for myself and they fit well. I sawed off two centimeters in length.
5.Vyacheslav , 44 years old: on the recommendation of his comrades, he glued the stainless steel overlays onto double-sided tape. My advice to motorists.
Negative
1.Victor , 29 years old: dissatisfied with the quality of manufacturing of domestic plastic pads. There is no money to buy stainless steel. I heard that you can insert it from a second generation Opel Astra, albeit cut a little in length. I will try.
2.Vasily , 41 years old: despite the wide range of accessories, there is no good quality. Instead of wasting money, I installed rubber pads, having previously cut them according to the blank.
3.Ignat , 39 years old: when buying pads, I preferred stainless steel, I didn’t like plastic. Although I overpaid a little, I am confident in its practicality.

Setting internal grant thresholds

Conclusion Despite a number of negative reviews, it is necessary to install door sill covers. As for the cost, we start from the size of the allocated budget for accessories. Obviously, we consider plastic as the best option. We also take into account the temperature conditions in which the machine will be operated.

Why install Granta door sill covers and which products should you choose?

The main task of the overlays is to protect the transition from the threshold to the floor of the cabin. The driver and passengers will no longer cling to the mat. At the same time, water in the area of ​​the thresholds will not flow to the base.

For modern Granta, sill covers can increase the life of the car and protect it from unnecessary damage and rust formation. The elements will also give the vehicle a more stylish and solid look.

When choosing accessories, you should pay attention to the activity of car use. If the owner rarely travels by transport, then plastic door sill covers for the Lada Granta will do just fine, which will save personal funds.

If the car is used for work or daily personal trips, then the installation of stronger and more durable elements will be required. These can be ordinary steel plates or designer accessories.

The advantages of the last two types are their high wear resistance. In most cases, the linings will serve the owner as long as the car itself. They do not require special care, but you need to remember the need for professional installation of designer products.

Grant's original illuminated door sills need to be connected to power. Otherwise, the LEDs simply won't work.

Let's consider such a question as setting thresholds on the Grant. By tradition, all work will be done with your own hands.

Remember that you can always improve the appearance of your car and you don’t have to turn to specialists for everything. Today we will talk about installing thresholds on the Lada Granta.

Setting internal grant thresholds

In rainy weather, this is a nuisance: you get into the car and the carpet turns into a dirty rag, and moisture also accumulates. The adverse effects of water should always be avoided. I went to the market and bought thresholds from Kalina.

Installing the thresholds was not a complicated undertaking, but some effort still had to be made. We begin work by removing the seal. This is how we get to the standard plastic thresholds, which are attached to the carpet with a stapler. We carefully tear off the thresholds and find a great place to install clips from Kalina.

What are the internal door sill trims for?

Door sill covers for Lada Grants primarily perform a protective function. With their help, you will protect the paint layer from mechanical damage and prevent road reagents, dirt and sand from getting under the carpet in the cabin. The fact is that passengers, when boarding, very often touch the floor covering in the cabin with their shoes, which is why particles of the road surface and other things that should not get there get there. If this is ignored, over time the body floor will begin to rust and deteriorate. And protection has no less priority: this part of the body most often comes into contact with shoes and chips, scratches and other defects appear in the area, worsening the condition of the metal of the body. There are no special lotions to protect the interior of the body from moisture and dirt, and therefore it is simply necessary to install door sill covers on the Lada Granta.

Another function they perform can be considered aesthetic. And now there are many options for decorative elements in car dealerships: simple, stylized for a specific car, chrome-plated, luminous, etc. There are so many of them, it would be difficult to list them all. In small towns there is little choice, and therefore very often car owners find a wide range in online stores. The difference in relief, colors, branded logos of manufacturers - all this makes threshold covers not only a protective element, but also a decorative one. You can always choose a set that matches the color of the interior.

What options are there for Granta threshold covers?

Door sills for the Lada Granta can be roughly classified according to the following criteria:

  • plastic products;
  • steel options with increased strength;
  • designer products.

Standard thresholds for Granta made of plastic attract an army of buyers with its affordable cost. If you use them with care, they can “live” for more than one year.

Setting internal grant thresholds

Thresholds on Grant, made of stainless steel, although they are characterized by a slightly higher cost, can “last” an order of magnitude longer. Their main drawback is the appearance of a small number of scratches after a long period of use.

Designer door sill covers will also delight you with their practicality and, in addition, they are endowed with a unique appearance. In most situations, these privately produced products carry a message or logo on their surface.

If the steel surface of an element has additional elements, they are coated with a special composition that prevents scratches. The price of these accessories for Lada Granta is very high, and the installation process is more labor-intensive.

Types of door sills for Grants

Cars from domestic manufacturers are delivered incompletely and with defects, which the owner has to eliminate on his own. Modern VAZ products, although different from their Soviet-made counterparts, still have a lot of minor flaws. In this regard, foreign cars have gone far ahead. On Grant, the thresholds are made of easily soiled material that quickly becomes dirty. To avoid this, you will have to install them yourself.

The domestic market of auto accessories includes more than one thousand items, for every color and taste. Car door sills can be divided into 3 main groups:

What's the difference? Let's try to figure it out.

Plastic elements are most often found on our way. They are inexpensive, and some cars are equipped with them from the factory. The manufacturing quality of such linings is quite high. The features of the plastic from which the linings are made allow them to absorb impacts on the body sills and leave the factory paint layer intact. If it receives a strong blow, the plastic takes everything on itself and, in the worst case, it simply breaks. In the warm season this is unlikely, but in winter it is a common occurrence. The fact is that the plastic from which these protective elements are made changes its properties in the cold and becomes more brittle. But it is better to replace the trim than to repair damage to the surface of the body. Even if the paint layer can be restored, almost nothing can be done about the dent. In car dealerships there are linings made of durable shockproof plastic, but finding them is quite problematic: demand greatly exceeds supply.

How to install standard accessories in Grant?

For long-term service of the element, its high-quality installation must be ensured. First, purchase linings that match the modification of your Lada Granta. You can alternatively use accessories designed for Kalina, which have identical dimensions.

Setting internal grant thresholds

It is not forbidden to look at modern products, but they must meet regulated requirements in terms of their own aspects.

Installation of overlays is carried out according to the following algorithm:

  1. We dismantle the protective rubber seal located above the threshold of the LADA Granta.
  2. Next, remove the plastic insert that acts as a protective cover.
  3. Please note that there is no rust. If corrosion begins to appear, we treat the area with a special protective compound.
  4. We integrate the clamps into the holes provided by the factory and return the rubber seal to its original position, and also correct the carpeting.
  5. The new element is applied in accordance with the correct location. Plastic accessories require mounting holes, which the owner must make with his own hands.
  6. We fix the cover using self-tapping screws.

Sometimes the internal protection plate may be missing, and the clips may already “sit” in their seats. It is recommended here that before purchasing the linings, you examine all the elements located under the rubber seal in the LADA Granta car.

If “original” clips are not available, then we purchase them along with accessories.

How to install standard door sills for Lada Granta?

In order for the element to really last a long time, you need to take care of the quality of the installation. First, you will need to purchase the kind of Lada Granta door sills that fit the model. You can also focus on accessories from the Lada Kalina, which have identical dimensions.

You can also consider modern products, but they exactly meet the stated requirements in terms of parameters. Once the pads have been purchased, installation can be carried out according to the following instructions:

1. Remove the protective rubber located above the threshold.

2. Remove the small plastic insert, which serves as an internal protective lining.

3. Check for rust; if small spots appear, treat with a protective mixture.

4. Insert the clips into the prepared factory holes, return the rubber seal to its place, and straighten the carpet.

5. We apply a new trim according to the correct location (plastic elements may need holes for self-tapping screws, which the motorist will make manually).

6. Screw the trim using factory self-tapping screws.

In some cases, the protective inner plate is missing, and the clips will already be installed in their rightful places. Therefore, before buying linings for the internal sills of the Lada Granta, it is recommended to study all the elements under the seal. If there are no clips in the threshold, you need to additionally purchase them along with linings and screws.
