The electric window regulator is one of thethe most useful inventions of the late twentieth century. And if earlier such devices were installed exclusively on expensive foreign cars, now such luxury is available even to owners of old VAZs. However, if there are no special problems with the selection of the window regulator, then during installation it is possible to get very confused. So, how to properly mount the windows on the VAZ 2107? Read about this in our story.

A few words about the device mechanism

In general, the power window is not such a complicated detail, as it seems at first glance. Its design includes only a few components.

In the picture No. 1 (diagram of the VAZ 2107 window regulator), we see that the standard window regulator consists of such structural elements as:

• 1,2 - the handle and the lining of the handle of the window regulator.
• 3 - the socket of the device.
• 4 - the mechanism of lifting windows.
• 5 - upper rollers.
• 6 - the fixing screws of the pressure plates.
• 7 - plates.
• 8 - bracket of the lowering window.
• 9 - glass.
• 10 - the cable.
• 11 - the lower roller.
• 12 - the bolts.
• 13 - the tensioning roller.

Varieties

At the moment there are only two types of windows for cars:

• rack-and-pinion;
• cable.

The latter option is the simplest anddemand among the owners of domestic cars, and therefore the most popular on the Russian market. The cable power windows are a motor with a gear and a coil. The latter is wound with a special cable, which drives the upper drum. In turn, it connects through the slots with a standard window regulator. Replacement of the window regulator VAZ 2107 of this kind does not require special skills, knowledge and knowledge. Thanks to this, even a novice motorist can change this mechanism.

About the device design

The design of the rack analogues is substantiallydiffers from the cable, and their principle of operation resembles the action of the steering rack in the car. This type of power windows is easy to move the lifting mechanism, so they are more suitable for working with tight glasses.

How do rack-and-pinion electric windows operate on VAZ 2107?

With regard to the principle of operation of thisdevice, the "Seven" in this regard is practically no different from other models of the VAZ family and other foreign cars, where lifting mechanisms are used on the electric drive. And the power windows only work when the ignition is switched on in the car's system. If you remove the key from the ignition switch, then the glass can only be raised.

The main role in the work of the mechanism of electricalThe window regulator is played by the controller. It is this device that closes all the locks on the doors when the car is set to alarm and automatically closes all open windows, also performing the "door closer" function.

What is most interesting, when you finish workthe controller does not at all absorb energy from the battery, going into standby mode. If necessary, this unit automatically feeds current to the ESP mechanism.

Also, the said device monitors the workreducer, namely, it monitors the number of its revolutions. Thanks to this, the battery practically does not lose energy in vain, and accordingly, the battery lasts longer charging.

By the way, some models of electricalwindow lifters have a door closer controlling only two windows, and since the model VAZ 2107 - four-door, often drivers install controllers at once to all 4 windows. But again, it all depends on the specific model of the ESP.

Installation of window regulator on VAZ 2107 - preparation of tools

In the course of the work we will need such materials and instruments as:

1. Cross and minus screwdriver.
2. The socket wrench is 8 and 10 millimeters.
3. Painting Scotch.
4. A piece of metal wire about 100 centimeters long.

Getting Started

Having prepared all the necessary tools, in the first placeturn disconnect the mass on the battery. After the car has completely disconnected the power supply, dismantle the door and dismantle the old cable mechanism. In its place, install a new one. Immediately need to make sure its performance. Checking that the cable is working, tighten the nuts of the mechanism and fix it with a wire. This is to ensure that during the installation the cable is not entangled. The wire does not bring any practical benefit to the window regulator, so when the work is completed, it can be removed. It should also be noted that the cable is installed according to the following algorithm: the upper part of the device goes to the lower roller, and the lower part to the upper roller.

How to install the window lifters on the WHA2107? The upper roller will not be visible to us, so to put a cable on it, you need to make a series of painstaking works. First, an open loop is made at the top end of the cable. Further, it rises through the doorway to the upper roller, which is not yet available to us. In this case, to hook the roller, you need to move the loop several times in different directions, then tighten it. So you can qualitatively fix it on the spot.

At the next stage, the cable that was successfullyis hooked for the roller, put on the lower gear, and then on the side, adjusting the tension. Remember that the part must not be tightened too much, but it should not be in a loose, dangling position. Do you think that the window regulators on the VAZ 2107 are installed? Early rejoice, gentlemen!

Then the cable is attached to the glass. If the first starts to make a squeaking sound, you may have to adjust it again. In this case, the branches of the cable change places - the upper one is transferred downward, and the lower one is raised. As a result, the annoying squeak should go away.

At this stage, installing the window regulator on the VAZ2107 has been successfully completed. Now it's up to the little thing: tighten the nuts of the tension roller and the casing, lubricate the cable and the connections with lithol, and re-assemble the door in the reverse order.

So, we found out how the window lifters on the VAZ 2107 are arranged, and also how they are completely replaced. Dare!
