How to remove the door trim of a VAZ 2107

The standard door trim on the VAZ-2107 is not very attractive and often spoils the whole picture of the interior. Probably the owners of “Sevens” carry out tuning of their own cars, and the simplest type of modernization is changing the door trim. The VAZ-2107 car is equipped with cheap materials that are not reliable and begin to wear out over the years. Let's pay attention to the question of how to change the door trim on a VAZ-2107 car, which will be useful for this purpose, in addition, how to dismantle the standard door panels.

The standard upholstery looks very inexpensive, which spoils the exterior design of the Russian car. "Sevens" after 2000 are equipped with a similar type of trim, just like earlier versions of this model. The standard casing is a narrow fiberboard, which is covered with cheap black polymer.

The standard upholstery is attached to pistons, which become unusable every time they are removed, and as a result they need to be replaced. Replacing the standard cheap upholstery on the VAZ-2107 with more advanced materials, which will brighten up the interior of the car. What is essentially changing the door trim of a VAZ-2107 at home, we will find out further.

Of course, replace the standard upholstery of the door cards with the following materials, which differ not only in price, but also in quality:

Use any of the materials listed, but the most affordable and common ones when working are: dermantine, leather and vinyl. In addition to the main material, to change the skin you will need plywood 4 mm wide. It is recommended to replace standard fiberboard because it is quite weak and wears out quickly. Latches for fastening the upholstery, foam rubber and glue will also come in handy.

Homemade door cards for the VAZ-2107 are an average solution for upgrading the standard trim. To remove the standard cards on the “seven”, you will need to perform the following steps:

The window lifter handle is removed, for which purpose it is necessary to remove the clamp type clamp.
Remove the door handle, remove the plugs and unscrew the bolts.
Remove the trim from the door handle.
Now there is an option to dismantle the card, why just pull it towards yourself.

If the standard card is removed, the doors can be silenced. Audio preparation is carried out immediately if you plan to install speakers in the front doors.

Making maps on the doors of a VAZ-2107 on your own is painfully easy, especially if you have a handy tool. Before work, you will need to have patience and time, because it takes up to 3-4 hours to make one upholstery.

The standard card is used as a template for the production of a new one. It is enough to attach the template to a sheet of plywood, then mark and cut out the base (it is better to use a jigsaw for cutting). On the prepared base, you should mark and cut holes for attaching handles and levers. When tuning the doors of the “seven”, you can immediately install an electronic drive on the power windows.

During the work, special attention should be paid to the correct marking of the holes for attaching the card. If you make a mistake by a few mm, the product will not fit well on the door.

When the base is ready, you should use sandpaper to process the sawn edges. This is necessary so that the base is very smooth. We continue tuning the door trim of the "seven", why take a piece of foam rubber (it is best to use two-layer foam rubber, consisting of a base and fabric) and cut it out according to the card template.

How to remove the door card on a VAZ classic 2106

Essential to know! If the tuning involves the production of speakers and shelves on the door, then the frame of these products should be made first. We often see how to make podiums for the VAZ-2107 in the corresponding material.

Of course, make the shelf separately, then sheathe it and install it on the door card. It is much easier to make such a shelf if you make a whole product together with the door card.

Foam rubber is glued onto the plywood using special superglue. When the foam rubber is glued to the door card, we begin to cover it. You can sheathe it either with a single piece of material or in sections, you just need to sew them together with a “French seam”, which is durable and attractive in appearance. The pattern is made in such a way that in this case there are 50 mm allowances on all sides. This is necessary in order to avoid the appearance of “bald” places on the sides if there is not enough material.

The casing is stretched onto the card according to the following scheme:

upholstery material should be laid face down on a flat surface;
a door card blank is applied on top of the material;
First, you should use a stapler to fix one side of the sheathing;
after a while we begin to stretch and fix the material on the reverse side;
During the period of work, it is necessary to ensure that there are no folds;
The process ends with the fact that we need to go along the perimeter of the workpiece and fix what remains for our client to do is the edges of the material.

We recommend: Changing the oil level sensor on a VAZ-2110 with your own hands

After covering the card, you can trim off any excess material. To prevent the upholstery from tearing at the place where the brackets are attached during operation, it is recommended to leave a small margin on the back side. Tuning of this kind is quite common, and is done in the same way for all remaining doors. Such a simple modification will significantly improve the appearance of the interior and radically transform the “Seven”. Below is a photo of car doors with the trim altered. Do the same for your own car.

Step-by-step instructions for removing the trim on the doors of a VAZ 2107

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 covered with eco-leather, or you can order a professional reupholstery of the car interior.

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:

Need for replacement

The standard upholstery looks very cheap, which spoils the external design of the domestic car. "Sevens" after 2000 are equipped with the same type of trim as earlier versions of this model. The standard skin is thin fiberboard, which is covered with cheap black polymer.

The standard upholstery is attached to pistons, which become unusable every time they are removed, resulting in the need to replace them. You can replace the standard cheap upholstery on a VAZ-2107 with more advanced materials, which will brighten up the interior of the car. We will find out further what it is to replace the door trim of a VAZ-2107 with your own hands.

Materials for upholstery

You can replace the standard upholstery of door cards with the following materials, which differ not only in price, but also in quality:

dermantine;
Genuine Leather;
auto fabric;
alcatara;
almara.

You can use any of the materials listed, but the most affordable and easiest to work with are: dermantine, leather and vinyl. In addition to the main material, 4 mm thick plywood will be required to replace the sheathing. It is recommended to replace standard fiberboard, as it is quite flimsy and wears out quickly. You will also need latches for attaching the upholstery, foam rubber and glue.

Features of dismantling the casing

Homemade door cards for the VAZ-2107 are the optimal solution for upgrading the standard trim. To remove the standard cards on the “seven”, you will need to perform the following steps:

The window lifter handle is removed, which requires pulling out the clamp in the form of a bracket.
Remove the door handle by removing the plugs and unscrewing the bolts.
Remove the trim from the door handle.
Now you can dismantle the card, just pull it towards you.

After the standard card is removed, you can silence the doors. At the same time, you can perform audio preparation if you plan to install speakers in the front doors.

Door card manufacturing process

It is very easy to make cards on the VAZ-2107 door with your own hands, especially if you have a handy tool. Before starting work, you will need to have patience and time, since it can take up to 3-4 hours to make one upholstery.

The standard card is used as a template for making a new one. To do this, just attach the template to a sheet of plywood, then mark and cut out the base (it is better to use a jigsaw for cutting). On the prepared base, you should mark and cut holes for attaching handles and levers. When tuning the doors of the “seven”, you can simultaneously install an electric drive on the window lifts.

During the work process, special attention should be paid to the correct marking of the holes for attaching the card. If you make a mistake by a few millimeters, the product will not fit well on the door.

After the base is ready, you should use sandpaper to process the sawn edges. This is necessary to ensure that the base is as smooth as possible. We continue tuning the door trim of the "seven", for which we take a piece of foam rubber (it is best to use two-layer foam rubber, consisting of a base and fabric) and cut it out according to the card template.

Salon VAZ 2107 - 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.

Interior noise insulation

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.

The importance of soundproofing doors

VAZ 2107 door soundproofing

An important and very necessary stage in the complete soundproofing of a car is, of course, the doors. It is from here that noise from the road and passing cars enters the cabin.

Note. Among the features of soundproofing doors on a VAZ 2107, one can highlight the fact that vibration and noise insulation are given equal importance.

Along with the fact that work is being carried out to reduce extraneous noise coming from outside, the acoustic component also deserves considerable attention. Here are a few advantages that are inevitable after performing the door shutter on a VAZ 2107:

Doors will close much quieter and more clearly;
By increasing the weight of the doors (this is inevitable), the sound quality of the speakers installed in the doors on acoustic podiums will improve.

Sound insulation of VAZ 2107 doors

Note. There is also a minus. This, as you guessed, is an increase in the mass of the doors. But nothing can be done here, although, on the other hand, if you don’t get too carried away with vibration isolation, the doors will not sag soon.

Front Panel

Console tuning 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.

Instrument panel VAZ 2115

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.

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.

Seat tuning

Traditional seats of the VAZ 2106 salon original require reupholstery or complete replacement with foreign analogues. Here everything depends on your desires, preferences and financial capabilities.

As a rule, chairs are changed based on:

heavy wear and poor appearance;
damage to internal components;
lack of convenience and comfort.

If the seats become unsuitable for further use, they can be restored. This procedure is different in that it does not require larger investments than installing new seats. However, it is not an easy job.

This is interesting: When is it necessary to balance the driveshaft on a car?

Tuning worn out seats starts with:

Measurements and patterns required.
Having received certain dimensions, the driver begins sewing new covers.
During all restoration work, worn-out material is dismantled, foam rubber is removed, and the springs are subject to careful inspection.
Having acquired new foam rubber, car enthusiasts stuff their seats with it and put on new covers. Putting on the covers

We fix and tighten the covers

Additional work with seats:

Taking a more serious approach, it is possible to adjust the frame base of the seats, giving them a sporty style.
In this case, any chair can be changed to suit your own needs, taking into account various nuances.
Also, it must be taken into account that if the driver does not visualize the end result, it is best not to try to create a chair from the very beginning.
Regardless of what kind of seats the vehicle is equipped with, the main thing is to always take into account such an aspect as safety.

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:

Remove the decorative trims of the lower and upper mountings of the RB to the central pillar by prying them off with a screwdriver.

Removing the decorative trims of the seat belt fastenings
Using a key set to “17”, unscrew the bolt of the upper mounting of the RB.

Unscrewing the upper seat belt mounting bolt
Using the same key, unscrew the lower fastening bolt and remove the belt and reel.

Removing the seat belt with reel
Next, unscrew the fastening bolt of the RB clamp to the floor tunnel and remove it.

Unscrewing the seat belt fastener bolt
Installing a new belt is done in reverse order.

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.

Leather door trim for VAZ 2107

You can fix this problem yourself:

First, the interior elements are dismantled (lock and window lifter handles, armrest and others). The door trim is removed using a screwdriver.
Next, the door panel is removed and laid on a sheet of plywood 4 millimeters thick. The outline is drawn with a marker.
The plywood blank is cut with a jigsaw, and the edges are sanded.
The sheathing is made using a sewing machine.
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.

Tuning door cards

The door map, similar to the seats for the six, does not look the best after prolonged use. The fastening elements of the upholstery fabric are made using plastic caps. The latter, after a certain time, begin to creak.

To improve the interior area of the doors, ordinary plywood is often used, which reaches a thickness of 4 mm. It acts as a frame. As for the finishing, a backing is placed, which consists of foam rubber. Its thickness is 10 mm.

When the driver plans to equip the doors with speakers, then along with the standard holes intended for handles and window lifters, it is necessary to make holes for the dynamic heads.

The stages of tuning door panels consist of:

dismantling old cards;
removing old upholstery;

Removing the old casing
dismantling old maps (you need to mark them on a sheet of plywood);
transferring panel parameters to a sheet of plywood using a regular pencil;

Redrawing from an old map
cutting out workpieces using a jigsaw and processing protruding elements;

Cutting out new door cards
door card blanks;
production and stitching of covers;
door upholstery (stitched from a material such as, for example, leatherette);
gluing the cover and fixing the finishing material. For these purposes, use a regular stapler and glue.

Gluing new skin

As for fastening the improved panels, it is made using special bushings that have internal threads. To do this, special holes are initially made on the cards in the required places. Then the fastener is inserted. With this installation of upholstery material, it is possible to get rid of knocks and squeaks while moving and while listening to music.

Materials for upholstery

When choosing fabric, you need to take into account quality, wear resistance, price, and color. The fibrous structure should stretch, this will allow the fabric to be securely fixed to the panel. Possible varieties:

Genuine Leather. It looks beautiful, but is expensive. Creates sound insulation and withstands humid and harsh climates. The ease of care is dictated by the fact that the fabric does not absorb dirt and does not deteriorate when using aggressive detergents.
Eco-leather or substitute. It has high wear resistance and is durable. The characteristics are identical to the natural base, only the substitute does not tolerate the effects of chemical detergents. With improper care, microcracks appear, which are then filled with dirt.
Alcantra. Consists of thin and viscous fibers. The material has a high rate of moisture rejection, so it does not shrink. After the Alcantura is stretched on the panel, it will take the shape of the structure and will not sag over time. There is only one minus - the low level of sound insulation.
Vinyl and leatherette. They provide strength and durability, and they are also very convenient for reupholstering. The material transmits sound well, so you will need to install an additional layer of insulation.
Carpet. This is an artificial automotive fabric. This lining will last for many years. It withstands temperature changes, repels dirt, cleans quickly, and blocks the growth of fungus.

Some car enthusiasts are experimenting and upholstering door panels with velvet and even faux fur. Such fabric will partially create sound insulation, but will cause difficulties during cleaning.

Lock and door cylinder of VAZ 2106. Replacement

During the operation of the VAZ-2106, all elements are subject to wear and tear over time. At the same time, an important property of the car is its security from unauthorized access.

We must pay tribute to the developers of the VAZ-2106, the door handle and lock are made to the best of their ability. However, the locking mechanism can also break (most often on the front door) for various reasons (due to careless handling). And replacing them is a labor-intensive process.

You will need the following tools:

crosshead screwdriver,
socket wrench (or socket) 8,
extension,
ratchet or wrench (for the head).

The process of removing the door handle involves minor preparatory work:

remove the trim from the door (on which the lock is supposed to be replaced). Only then do we carry out the following work step by step:

We remove the casing photo using a socket wrench from the inside and unscrew the left nut holding the handle (held by two nuts);

Unscrew the handle fasteners. Photo

To unscrew the right handle nut, you must first open access to it. At the end of the door, unscrew the bolts holding the lock. Having loosened the lock, move it slightly to the side and unscrew the right nut, freeing the handle from the inside. However, it will be held in place by a rod attached to the lock cylinder;
With a little effort, you need to pull the rod until it comes off the cylinder, after which the handle will easily detach from the door and is ready for replacement.
Installing a new handle is carried out in the reverse order. The main thing is to carry out all work carefully and not damage the door glass.

Most often, the lock cylinder is the first to fail; it is reusable and constantly in use. To replace it you will need a flat screwdriver and a needle (or thin wire)

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.

For your information

The cable is tensioned according to the following procedure:

lower the window all the way;

turn the mechanism handle all the way in the direction of lowering the glass;

adjust the cable tension by moving the corresponding roller;

tighten the roller mounting bolt.

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

After installing a new window regulator, a squeaking sound may occur. To eliminate it you need to:

loosen and remove the cable from under the rollers;
cross the upper and lower branches of the cable coming out of the lift drum;
repeat the procedure for installing and tensioning the cable.

The window lifter handle consists of 3 parts. 1 - the window lifter handle itself, 2 - the trim of the window lifter handle, 3 - the socket. In order to disassemble and remove the handle, it is necessary to slightly recess the socket 3 under the trim 2 into the door trim and move the trim along the handle until it exits the annular recess on the axis. The direction is indicated in the figure by an arrow. Remove the window handle 1 and the socket from the axle.

In my case, it was still necessary to remove the screws securing the door trim, which were installed by the previous owner. In the general case, it is necessary, overcoming the resistance of the spring plastic holders, to remove the door trim. The location of the plastic holders on the door trim is shown in the figure below.

Step-by-step instruction

So, below is a step-by-step algorithm for performing the operation. It won’t take much time and everything will go well if you follow these instructions clearly, without doing anything on your own.

Removing the upholstery

To easily remove the upholstery from the door of a VAZ 2107 and thereby prepare the surfaces for gluing with soundproofing material, do the following:

We take a shaped screwdriver and unscrew the self-tapping screw, which we find in the upper part of the lining;
Then unscrew the screws at the bottom (there are 3 of them);
Remove the cover;
Now you need to use a screwdriver to press the lock of the window lifter handle, pull it out and remove the handle;
Again, use a screwdriver to remove the plug for the armrest handle, then remove the screws that hold it in place;

Features of dismantling

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

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

Pull out the bracket securing the window regulator.
Remove the window lifter handle. If the mechanics were reinstalled on the power window, remove the clamp covering the standard hole.
Remove the plugs on the door handle, unscrew the armrest bolts, and remove the element.
Remove the trim panel from the door handle.
Remove speakers and adjacent electrical appliances, if installed.
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.

Old VAZ 2107 door cards are removed as follows:

remove the window handle by pulling out the fixing bracket;
Unscrew the bolts under the plugs and remove the door handle (armrest);
remove the trim from the door opening handle;
remove the speaker (if installed);
remove the door card by pulling it towards you.

general information

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

The first layer must be vibroplast.

Note. The choice of vibration-proofing material depends primarily on the following. Doors, as you know, are not as loaded with various vibrations as the engine compartment or the bottom of the car. For this reason, the front speaker is often placed not forward or on the floor, but on the door. But the resonant sounds of metal remain, and without proper sound insulation, this is impossible. In a word, if the doors will not be used as a place for speakers, then vibration isolation is selected in the usual version; if used, in a special kit.

In any case, Technoplast M1 or M2 must be applied to the inside of the door, the one on the street side. The entire surface of the door is 100 percent covered with this material.

Attention. During the gluing process, we must not forget about the ventilation and drainage holes, which must be left open.

Pasting the side of the door closest to the interior depends on the specific material chosen.

Sound insulation of doors 2107 VAZ

Note. As mentioned above, if acoustics are not installed or the speakers are small, it is enough to vibration damp the flat areas with Techno Bomb elast or Technobit MP elast. If powerful speakers are installed, then pasting is carried out on the entire surface of the door, using the same materials, including closing the technological holes.

Before carrying out work, it is necessary to check the functionality of all components of the lock and window regulators. If something doesn’t work right, then the time has come to replace and fix everything, add lubricant, tighten fasteners, etc.

Note. Closing the technological holes in this part of the door has a special purpose. The door turns into a kind of closed box, which has a very good effect on the acoustics and its sound in the car interior.

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.

Soundproof doors

Note. The interesting thing about door trim is that it can be used as an acoustic shield. To achieve this, pieces of Technoplast M1 are glued to the back side, but if the skin of the VAZ 2107 consists of several pieces, then the material is glued at the joints and at the joints.
