Do-it-yourself seat repair vaz 2106

In detail: do-it-yourself seat repair vaz 2106 from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

The seats of the "six" cause few sympathy. Much more often they lead to pain in the lower back, neck and other places. We solve this problem to stupidity budget, but very effectively.

Let's say right away: the "roof" has not been blown away. Yes, the method that will be described below looks strange. However, sooner or later every owner of the "six" thinks about it, who does not have the funds to install seats from another car. In no case will we dissuade from replacing regular seats with others. Moreover! We will also support in replacing the entire VAZ-2106 with something more modern, but! What if there are ordinary "seats" and you need to squeeze the maximum out of them?

Before starting…

The inconvenience of classic seats from AvtoVAZ is explained very simply - their ridiculous shape. Designed back in the 70s, they don't have a drop of what modern car seats have. No lumbar support for you, no popliteal roll ... There is only one way out: do it all yourself!

Remember the condition: stupidly budget. And if so, then we will give the correct shape to the foam rubber bands with the help of improvised means. A plank, plywood and a piece of poor soundproofing came to hand ...

A piece of plywood - to combat excessive softness of the seat

Rushed. Through long estimates and measurements, it was decided to put a piece of plywood under the driver's seat cushion cover in order to give it the necessary rigidity. The first race showed that sitting on plywood is, to put it mildly, uncomfortable and you need to add softness. As a layer between the wooden base of our “anatomical” chair and the driver, sound insulation has become. Please note: this is not about modern materials for soundproofing with foil and other attributes, but about the simplest "shumka" of the times of the USSR.

Video (click to play).

A kind of felt with polyethylene lay under the cover directly on the plywood. Sitting has become much more pleasant. The eternal dip in the unreal softness of the “six” seats disappeared, there was a feeling of a reliable foundation under the fifth point. But what to do with the back?

Lumbar support from the board - very cheap and unrealistically angry!

Lumbar support from a board under a cover is something! In each case, you need to select the size of the board individually, and the result can please! The lower back really rests on the resulting ledge and even there is an opportunity to relax ...

At the end of this madness of tuning the driver's seat of the "six", we managed to get something similar to a modern chair. Note: similar is about the same as the moon looks like a classic soccer ball. That is, round and with dark spots.

A piece of plywood, a board and a Soviet Shumka made it possible to sit more confidently and relax at times. They in no way affected the overall fit, that is, the steering wheel is still shifted to the side, the knees are pulled up, and pedaling is uncomfortable. However, there are positive developments! And how budget.

If you are tired of suffering from back pain while driving a "classic" and you are thinking "how to improve the seats on the VAZ-2106", we advise you to experiment with the above items. Plywood and a board can be found on the garden plot, and the “Shumka” can be replaced, for example, with an old coat ... The main condition for this “tuning” is the presence of seat covers, because it is under them that add-ons are “installed”. And they cover up all this shame.

Hello everyone! My name is Mikhail, now I'll tell you a story about how I managed to exchange my dvenashka for a 2010 Camry.It all started with the fact that the breakdowns of the dvenashki began to annoy me wildly, it seemed that nothing serious was broken, but on trifles, damn it, there were so many things that really started to piss me off. Here the idea was born that it was time to change the car to a foreign car. The choice fell on Tayotu Camry tenth years.

The reason for the repair is chatting. We disassemble the headrest, and found that steel strongly slides on steel, and there are no more gaps to clamp the clamps harder. We insert I into the clamps of the strip of copper.

The headrest latches were rusty, making them so hard to get out. Cleaning and lubricating.
On the headrest pillars, the lower fixation slots are straight. If the lower grooves are rounded, then the headrests will be easier to remove.

Assemble the backrest and headrest in reverse order. This completes the repair of the VAZ seats, it remains only to install it back into the car.

In order to get rid of constant fines from cameras, many of our readers have successfully used Special Nano Film for numbers. Legal and 100% reliable way to protect against fines. After reviewing and carefully studying this method, we decided to offer it to you.

Repair and tuning of the "six" interior includes the dismantling of car seats. Before removing the seats on the VAZ 2106, you will need to buy a head for "8" and an open-end wrench for "13". When carrying out installation work, the absence of the relationship between the front seats is taken into account. They are mounted on skids fixed to the body with 4 brackets.

Previously, the front seats are pushed all the way forward (to provide access to the rear brackets). Then the chairs are pushed back. To unscrew the bolts, you need a key for "13". Disconnect the electrical connector from the front seat. The next step is to remove the seats.

If necessary, factory seats are replaced with new counterparts. Before installing the chairs, you will need to make sure that the guide rails are parallel. Then raise the regulator, and the seat moves back until it stops.

The brackets are tightened to a torque of 20 N.m. The seats are moved forward, the rear brackets are tightened in a similar way. The wires are connected to the battery. If the sled is installed, they are lubricated with Fiol-1 or Litol-24.

To tune the interior of the VAZ 2106, you will also need to dismantle the rear seat. Previously, experts advise to study the design of the rear seat. This sofa consists of a cushion and a backrest. The first element is fixed with two spikes welded to the body of the "six". These spikes are installed in special holes located along the edges of the sofa.

To remove the seat, you will need to insert a screwdriver between the floor of the "six" and the edge of the part to be dismantled. By clicking on the screwdriver, they undermine the sofa from the seats. The next step is to remove the back. This element is fixed with two brackets welded to the vehicle body. If the seat cushion is removed, the backrest is dismantled by lifting upwards. Such movements must be sharp. We first pull one side, and then the other. The sofa is installed in the reverse order.

Car regular seats "six" during operation can break. More often, the chair adjustment does not function, there is a skew or bedsores. To repair the seat, you will need to remove special latches along the edges. To dismantle the plate, use a flat screwdriver.

After dismantling the sled mechanism, it is recommended to inspect the chair frame. If the seat is damaged, repair work is done with a grinder, welding and a hammer. The frame is then painted. The structure is assembled in the reverse order.

To repair the back, you will need to remove the regular cover.

To do this, bend the teeth with a screwdriver. The next stage is the dismantling of the canvas and decorative inserts. After removing the entire cape, the back is dismantled. The frame is inspected for defects.

If a crack appears in the back, repair work is done with a hammer and plywood. A crack may also appear in the fastening of the rotary mechanisms. In this case, it will need to be cut with a grinder. We repair the mechanism by welding and hammering. The next step is to assemble the rotary mechanism and synchronize it. You will first need to clean and lubricate the connecting rod.

If the mechanism in the repaired unit works well, the structure is assembled. Then the unit is re-tested for functionality. The components of the mechanism must work synchronously and in parallel. The structure is clamped with a clamp, welded, protected and painted.

If the headrest of the VAZ 2106 seat dangles, we insert copper strips into the clamps. Rusty latches are recommended to be cleaned and lubricated. The headrest posts have straight bottom slots. For quick dismantling of the headrests, it is recommended to install the lower grooves. The backrest and headrest are assembled in the reverse order. The repair work of the “six” seats has been completed.

Hello everyone!
So far, nothing global has happened to the car, everything works, everything is in order, we live a normal life. I do not like to make short entries in the BZ, so I'll tell you about everything here. In addition, I changed the antenna, the left mudguard came off, changed the wipers to frameless ones, bought a stand for small change and a phone and removed the fangs from the bumpers)
But the saddest thing that has happened lately is that the fastenings of the seat slides came off, and on both sides at once. And they not only came off the bottom, they also broke in half ... Unfortunately, I did not have time to take a photo.
In general, I called a friend, agreed to weld the fasteners, work for half an hour, in general, but as always happens, not everything is so simple))

By the way, the car is in its native, factory paint, no one has ever even looked at anything there (except for laying wires) and the condition of the bottom of the entire car can be assessed from the photo above

It is impossible to leave in this form, so the next day these places were cleaned and coated with a primer in 3 layers

Next, we are waiting for the summer, and we will completely glue the floor with modern noise-vibration.
Well, for a snack - a photo "before" and "after" the removal of fangs. At first it looks like a curiosity, but over time you get used to it, and it seems that this is a good solution for giving the car a more modern look, and getting rid of the “squareness”

Question on the seats here, I decided to write in this thread.
Plans to buy seat UNP Racer-1 or Racer-2 (not decided yet).
Actually the question is, for those who have such or used to ride on such seats, how does it feel?
I just read somewhere that on a classic like the steering column is shifted closer to the center and like, if you put UNP, then it becomes a little noticeable.
Although I don't really believe in it.

The car VAZ 2106 of the Zhiguli family was produced back in the days of the Soviet Union. The first car of this model rolled off the assembly line of the Volga Automobile Plant in 1976. The new model received a number of improvements and changes in the design and lining of the car body. The interior of the car was not left without attention of engineers - it became comfortable, ergonomic and reliable. It was the salon that became the subject of our attention. The good old "six" for 40 years of existence has become a retro car, while constant operation in the harsh conditions of our reality had a negative impact on the condition of the car as a whole and on the interior in particular. Paying attention to the maintenance of the car, the owners forget about the interior or simply do not find the time and finances for this. Over time, the interior of the car becomes morally obsolete and, of course, wears out physically.

Today, there is a huge number of workshops on the service market that will help restore the interior of any car.

By giving your car into the hands of professionals, you will get a high-quality result for such types of services as:

reupholstery of the seat upholstery, it is possible to repair the seat structure;
tailoring of covers by the individual order;
hauling or restoration of door cards (panels);
restoration of paint and varnish coverings of wooden elements of salon;
restoration and tuning of the instrument panel of the car;
soundproofing;
audio system installation;
and etc.

Of course, you will be satisfied with the result, but the cost of these services is often high. Therefore, it is inappropriate for owners of old domestic-made cars to shell out an amount from their pocket for interior repairs, which sometimes turns out to be more than the cost of the car itself. Only car restorers can afford such a luxury, but they pursue completely different goals.

But this does not mean that you can forget about the idea of restoring the salon of your true friend. The stores have a fairly wide range of inexpensive and high-quality materials that can be used for self-repair. Having considered the range of automotive, construction and furniture accessories stores, we can choose what is suitable for us to restore the interior.

Consider a list of interior elements of a VAZ 2106 car that can be improved, and those that are subject to maximum wear during operation:

seats;
interior trim elements (linings on racks and panels);
sheathing of door panels;
ceiling;
back panel trim;
floor covering;
dashboard.

For almost 30 years of car production, interior upholstery has been made in many different colors: black, gray, beige, brown, blue, red and others.

Colored color received such elements as: seat upholstery - it included a combination of leatherette and velor; sheathing of door panels - made of fiberboard and upholstered with leatherette; leatherette gear lever cover, as well as a textile carpet.

The perforated ceiling stretched on knitting needles was made in white or light gray.

These interior elements give the car comfort, sophistication and individuality.

Elements of the VAZ 2106 interior, which made this car the best in the line of AvtoVAZ classics

Over time, the seats, trimmed with velor, become unusable, lose their original appearance, the lining is torn.Restoring the seat on your own will be very difficult, you need to have the skills of a tailor, have special sewing equipment. To do this, having only one desire, is unlikely to succeed. Therefore, in this case, there are two options: contact a seat upholstery studio, install foreign-made seats in the car (more on this below), or change the upholstery yourself.

The choice of materials and colors offered by the studio is very large, by combining them, you can realize any of your ideas. And you can also change the foam rubber, change the shape of the seat and even install heating.

Variety of colors of artificial material Alcantara, designed for reupholstery of car interiors

The cost of work in the studio will vary greatly depending on what materials you wish to use. It can be fabric, alcantara, velor, leatherette or genuine leather (the prices of which also vary depending on the quality and manufacturer).

Atelier-made leatherette upholstery for a contemporary look

For high-quality seat upholstery, you will have to pay a decent amount, on average from 8 thousand rubles for a set of seats covered with fabric, other materials will cost more. Experienced drivers know that seat upholstery can be done by yourself.

Brief instructions for self-upholstery of the seats:

The basis of a covering of doors consists of fiberboard. This material eventually absorbs moisture and deforms. The skin begins to move away from the inner panel of the door, bend and pull the clips out of the seats. You can purchase a new skin and install it on new clips, then the skin will last for a long time.

For those who want to make a sheathing in the same style with other interior elements, it is necessary to make a new sheathing base. The same fiberboard or plywood can serve as the base material. It is even better to use a less hygroscopic material, such as plastic or plexiglass, they will last longer and will not deform over time.

How to make door trim:

The trim is removed from the door.
With the help of a knife, the factory leatherette is separated from the base of the skin and removed.
The fiberboard base is placed on a new sheet of material, pressed tightly and the contour of the factory base is outlined, taking into account the holes for clips, bolts and window lifter handles.
Using a jigsaw, a new base is cut out. All holes are drilled.
The prepared material is cut out along the contour of the base, taking into account an allowance of 3–4 cm for turning.
The material is stretched onto the base, the wrapped edges are glued, additionally it can be fixed with staples.
New clips are inserted.

Similarly, the manufacture of trim for the rear doors.

The fabricated base can be covered with any suitable material. It can be a car carpet, leatherette, alcantara. To create soft skin, a sheet of foam rubber, 5–7 mm thick, is first glued onto the base.

The door trim can be used to install the loudspeakers of the sound system. For these purposes, it is better to use a special acoustic podium. To install speakers in a door, it is recommended that you first soundproof it.

The door can be fitted with custom-made paneling with an acoustic podium

The rear shelf in the car is a very convenient place to install acoustic speakers. Most often, this is what the owners of the VAZ 2106 do. To achieve a better sounding of the acoustic system, a new shelf-podium is installed instead of the regular shelf. It is made mainly from chipboard or plywood (10–15 mm) and podiums of the diameter corresponding to the speakers are installed on it. The finished shelf is covered with the same material as the door trim.

The factory panel is removed from the car.
Measurements are taken and a cardboard template is made. It is also possible to make a template according to the factory panel.
If the shelf is acoustic, then the location of the speakers is marked on the template.
According to the shape of the template, a panel of chipboard (16 mm) or plywood (12–15 mm) is cut with an electric jigsaw.
Edges are processed. Given the thickness of the shelf, the bevel of the side with which the panel is located to the glass is calculated. Holes are prepared for fastening the panel to the body with bolts or self-tapping screws.
According to the shape of the template, taking into account the inversion, the material is cut out.
The material is stretched onto the panel, the inversion is fixed with glue or staples. If Carpet is used, it is glued to the entire area to be covered.
The panel is installed in a regular place and fixed with self-tapping screws.

Back panel made by myself. Acoustic podiums are installed on the panel. Ponel covered with car carpet

The floor covering is a textile carpet. It is most susceptible to wear and contamination from the feet of passengers and carried goods. It can be made from any suitable material: Carpet, carpet, linoleum.

Seats, plastic door sills and pillars, framing of the heating system, seat belt buckles are removed.
Removed the factory floor trim.
The sheathing, cut in the shape of the factory, is spread on the floor and carefully leveled.
In the reverse order of removal, the removed interior parts are installed.

High-quality sound insulation is a source of increased comfort. This statement is appropriate for any cars, and even more so for domestic ones. The process of soundproofing is not complicated, but very painstaking. It can be done on your own.

In order to avoid problems when working on the installation of sound insulation, please adhere to three basic rules:

Carefully remember or write down the procedure for disassembling the cabin. Sketch or mark on the wiring where the wires and connectors connect. Store removed parts and fasteners in groups so that nothing is lost.
Clean well from dirt and degrease the surface before applying soundproofing elements. Carefully measure the part before cutting the material and applying it to the surface of the body.
Immediately take into account the thickness of the applied materials so as not to lose the necessary clearances for installing interior trim elements during assembly.

If you have little free time, the work of applying sound insulation can be divided into stages. For example, disassemble the door, apply soundproofing and assemble it back. On the next free day, you can make the next door, etc.

If you do soundproofing on your own, without outside help, you can easily cope in 5 days. We are talking about complete soundproofing of a domestically produced hatchback car, taking into account the soundproofing of the luggage compartment, complete disassembly of the passenger compartment and removal of the instrument panel.

Tools needed for soundproofing work:

a set of tools for dismantling the car interior;
trim clip removal tool;
knife;
scissors;
roller for rolling vibration isolation;
building hair dryer for heating the bituminous layer of vibration isolation;
hand protection gloves.

Noise isolation of the car is carried out using materials of two types: vibration-absorbing and sound-absorbing. The choice of material on the market is huge - different thicknesses, absorption characteristics, different manufacturers. The cost is also very different, for any budget, what material to choose is up to you. Naturally, expensive materials are more technologically advanced and have an advantage over cheap ones, and the result from their use will be better.

Vibration-absorbing and sound-absorbing materials, the most popular on the market today

It is quite rare to remove the front seats on the VAZ 2106, and in most cases this is due to their breakdown. The most common of these is when the back is not fixed in an upright position. There are also cases with a sled, when the chairs begin to move tightly along them. In general, in this case it is better to remove the seat and figure out what is the cause of the breakdown. For this procedure you will need:

Head 8 with extension
Ratchet handle or crank
Open-end wrench 13

The chairs are attached with 4 bolts, two of which are in the front, and the other two are in the back! First, move the chair all the way forward, thereby gaining access to the rear mounting bolts:

Now you can safely unscrew the two bolts, as shown in the photo below:

After the back is freed, you can proceed to the front, after pushing the seat all the way back. One bolt there turns away in the same way as the rear ones, but the other is a little different. There it will be necessary to use the key for 13 and unscrew the nut from below, as is clearly shown in the photo:

After that, you can remove the front seat of the VAZ 2106 for further repair or replacement.

If replacement is necessary, then we buy new chairs at a price of 3500 apiece and install everything in the reverse order. The whole job should not take you more than 15 minutes.

1. We prepare the car for work (see “Preparing the car for maintenance and repair”).

2. Remove the front seat (see "Front seat - removal and installation").

3. Move the guide along the outer slide to the front of the seat.

4. Using pliers, we remove from the hole in the rod the lock of the screw stroke that regulates the inclination of the seatback.

5. While holding the rod, we unscrew the screw from it.

6. socket wrench by 8 mm unscrew the bolt of the rear fastening of the outer slide.

7. Move the guide along the slide to the back of the seat.

8. Hold the rod and guide with your hand with a socket wrench by 8 mm unscrew the bolt of the front fastening of the sled.

9. Remove the outer sled along with the guide, removing the spring hook from the hole in the sled.

10. socket wrench by 8 mm unscrew the two bolts securing the inner slide and remove them together with the guide.

1. We clean from dirt and apply grease to the rubbing parts.

2. Installation of mechanisms of adjustment of a forward seat is carried out in return sequence.

A year has already passed since Ford-Scorpio seats were installed on the VAZ 2106. The new seats fit perfectly into the cabin, and we got copies from the new model with servos and heating was a nice bonus, but regular ones are fine too. So, what was the tuning of the VAZ 2106 seats?

We note right away that the Ford seats removed the unpleasant sensation that drivers often have in the lumbar region, they also got rid of the problem of the adjustment mechanism that constantly failed, in general, they received only pluses from the installation. For installation, we needed a drill, 4 steel strip brackets (thickness - 3-5mm).

They removed the standard seats and installed on the front paws of the new Ford brackets with M8x25 bolts, two brackets for each seat (see Fig. 1). Next - we drill holes in the floor of the car (Fig. 2): under the driver's seat and symmetrically to the axis of the car - for passenger seats. With the help of M10x40 bolts, the brackets of the front “legs” are fixed, the M10x75 bolts - on the rear thrust bearings. It is necessary to strengthen the fastening connections, both from the passenger compartment and from the bottom. We carry out our plans with the help of washers made of steel sheet, thickness - 3-5mm. We cover the fasteners from the bottom with anti-corrosion mastic. Here, in fact, is the whole tuning of the VAZ 2106 seats.

Fig. 1 - Seat mount from Ford (top - general view, left - detailing); 1 - additional front brackets (a and b - right and left, respectively); 2 - regular rear bracket; 3 - paw of the seat; 4 - the bottom of the car; 5 - reinforcing washers.

Rice. 2 - Marking holes in the bottom of the VAZ 2106 for installing Ford seats.

I quite liked the idea, the tuning turned out to be effective and budgetary, but the home-made brackets are still rather weak, so it’s worth strengthening them by welding scarves, as shown in Fig. 1 by the dotted line.

The front seats on a VAZ 2106 car are not interchangeable.The seats are mounted on skids, which are fixed to the brackets on the body with two bolts in front and two in the back. To remove the front seats, we need a wrench for thirteen, a socket for eight and a beard.

If everything is there, then proceed to the repair.

To remove the front seats:

Slide the seat all the way back and unscrew the nuts of the bolts securing the slide to the body bracket. Remove the nuts and bolts and set them aside so as not to lose them.

Next, we shift the seat all the way forward and in the same way, with an eight socket wrench, unscrew the two bolts securing the slide.

Now you can, by slightly turning the seat to the side, pull it out of the car.

This completes the process of removing the front seats of a VAZ 2106 car. Now let's remove the sliders of the sled, which are attached to the frame of the seat cushions with two bolts each.

To remove the sled sliders, you must:

Disconnect the outer slide spring.

Now we move the guide all the way back and first unscrew the front bolt of the slider, and then move the guide forward and unscrew the rear bolt of the slider. After removing the bolts and washers, remove the skid.

Install the new skids on the seats in the reverse order of removal. After installing the slide, always lubricate them with grease, for example, LITOL-24 or FIOL-1. Install the new front seats in the vehicle in the reverse order of removal.

For this procedure you will need:

Head 8 with extension
Ratchet handle or crank
Open-end wrench 13

The chairs are attached with 4 bolts, two of which are in the front, and the other two are in the back! First, move the chair all the way forward, thereby gaining access to the rear mounting bolts:

Now you can safely unscrew the two bolts, as shown in the photo below:

After that, you can remove the front seat of the VAZ 2106 for further repair or replacement.

If replacement is necessary, then we buy new chairs at a price of 3500 apiece and install everything in the reverse order. The whole job should not take you more than 15 minutes.

To remove the front seat:

- turn off the ignition and disconnect the "ground" wire from the battery;

- move the front seat forward until it stops;

— Turn out two bolts 1 (fig. 10.80) fastenings of back parts of a sled of a seat;

- Move the front seat back to the stop;

— Turn out two bolts 1 (fig. 10.81) fastenings of forward parts of a sled of a seat;

- Disconnect the electrical connectors from the seat;

- Remove the front seat from the car.

To install the front seat:

- make sure that the guide rails of the seat are parallel to each other;

- Raise the seat height adjuster to its highest position before reinstalling it;
