DIY repair of vaz 2112 wipers

In detail: do-it-yourself repair of vaz 2112 wipers from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

The windshield wipers of the VAZ-2110 car themselves do not represent anything constructively complex. However, their failure, especially during heavy rainfall, can provoke an emergency. One of the main elements of wipers or "brushes" is a trapezoid.

The trapeze is somewhere here!

The wiper trapeze is a special unit that converts the engine impulse into the forward motion of the wipers.

Simply put, it is she who is responsible for their movement on the windshield or rear window of the car. Since weather conditions are often unpredictable and the windshield must provide full visibility, breakage of this part must be promptly identified and repaired.

Most often, plastic bushings wear out in the trapezoid.

Although, at first glance, it seems that the movement of the brushes occurs directly, in fact, the trapezium, which is an electromechanical unit, is responsible for it. It works according to the following principle:

  1. The wiper motor uses a finger, which drives the trapezoid itself.
  2. Due to the connection of the gearbox and the shafts, oscillatory movements occur, forcing the brushes to move over the glass, cleaning it.

It often happens that the trapezoid fails. This happens especially often after or during the winter season. Some inexperienced owners of the VAZ-2110 turn on the "brushes" without bothering to clear the glass from snow... Often the "wipers" freeze to the glass, and an attempt to move them from their place ends in breakage. To prevent this from happening, you need always check the brushes for freezing before switching on in winter .

Kirdyk is a slang word meaning an extremely bad situation.

It happens that the bushing retaining ring breaks and the thrust simply flies out.

The slightest disturbance in the trapezium operation can lead to incorrect operation of the "wipers". Usually this part is changed to a new one, although in some cases it is possible to get by with the installation of a repair kit. Its cost is significantly lower than the price of the entire part, although the repair time will take much longer. Here is a list of the main signs by which you can determine that a part will soon fail:

  1. Windshield wipers begin to do poorly with their direct job. This is due to the release of pressure.
  2. An unusual noise is heard during operation.
  3. A backlash appears, which can be determined even visually, since the glass will be difficult to clean.
  4. It so happens that the brushes go easily in one direction, and with difficulty in the opposite direction, constantly slowing down.

All these problems lead to the fact that the windshield remains dirty, with streaks and smudges.
