Front seat vaz 2107 DIY repair

In detail: the front seat of the VAZ 2107 DIY repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Hello everyone. The essence of the problem is this: you need to do do it yourself VAZ 2107 seat repair. Look, I'm showing you clearly. The stopper is broken. The seat falls by itself, does not fix, does not hold. There is a stopper mechanism for these seats. It looks like this. This is a new mechanism.

I also took a new pin, on which there are risks of fixation and this spare part is also new. The jamb is that this spare part on the seat is sawed off and welded. On the Factory Seat, all these teeth have broken off. I bought this part, it costs 30 rubles. This bolt costs 70 rubles. These parts differ between the left and right seats because of this weld-on thing. She can be on this side and on this.

It may be that this bolt - nothing really fits here. It is fixed like this. Fixed, and everything fell into the teeth. When we need to move the seat, we lift this bolt and the seat moves. It is necessary to expand this bracket still from the factory so that it does not interfere, and we will begin to install it.

To begin with, to install, we need to dismantle the seat from the car. Now we will estimate the amount of work. I will slowly shoot in the direction of travel. To remove the seats, we need to unscrew this bolt, then that bolt. This bolt is 8 and this bolt is 13.

The mount goes from below. We'll have to remove this panel. Now we will unscrew the front ones and push the seat forward, and unscrew the rear bolts of the same type. It is better to use a ratchet set for loosening the bolts. I don't have it. There is a socket wrench for 8, and such a wrench for 13. Now we will suffer a little and see what happens.

That's it, I removed the seat. Put it in the trunk for convenience. Found one joint. The car of 2009, the seats were never removed, only the covers were put on it. Covers so, without removal, just these strings are tied here and that's it. Look, the bolt is immediately unscrewed. And this runner is now playing. And I thought what was the matter. It turns out that this bolt has been unscrewed.

I have seen different videos on YouTube where the same problem occurs. For some, this bolt unscrewed and fell out. We will twist this with the same key. We take this and tighten the bolt. Twisted, tightened. And here we have the same bolts. You can walk, stretch. This bolt is loose, we tightened it.

With us, this fastener came off completely in two places: here and here. The teeth that fix this pin are all completely torn off, on this side, and on the other. This is a new part that has these teeth. Now we will try to make access so that we can work with a grinder and welding, and we will get to work.

We will need a screwdriver, pliers, awl. An awl may not be needed, for those who do not have covers. There are knots tied here, which are not very convenient to untie. There are such things here - the pins that hold the seat, the cover, this trim. We have now bent them a little and take them off. This mechanism includes a stopper that must be removed. The pin was unscrewed.

It turns out that everything is easily disconnected. They took off the seat. Sawed off the old part, put a new one. Welding, I had to work a little bit with a grinder, a chisel and a hammer. It all flew off. Now you need to make the seat in a sitting position. How will this bolt come out correctly? We will weld on this part like this.

This is how it turned out, such a seam turned out.

I grabbed it from this side, here a little from the edge, because here. And here there was spot welding, and I didn't cook there, I welded from the edge. Then I welded on top here. Here I got a double seam, very ugly. I have not put the spring on yet. I filmed them. Here, for now, it's just for me: here she got up and once, fixed herself.Removed, lifted, inserted - it was fixed.

Now I want to paint over the welding seams so that they don't rust. Once the paint is dry, start assembling the seat in reverse order. I bend these pins with my fingers. Everything, the seat is in place.

When installing, the fixation flew off so as not to drive. The installation of the seat is further clear.
