Methods for tuning Priora door cards
All methods of adding originality to the appearance of doors can be divided into three groups:
- replacing door cards with tuned ones;
- coloring of door cards;
- door card trim.
The first method does not raise any special questions or difficulties. The only problem is to find tuned door cards that suit your taste.
Painting door cards is the easiest and cheapest way of tuning. Its disadvantages:
- only the color changes, not the texture of the material;
- Even high-quality paint can peel off over time, requiring the door panels to be repainted.
Covering Priora door cards with fabric or leatherette is the most complex method, which allows you to achieve the best appearance of the interior. Regardless of the tuning method, it is necessary to dismantle the door cards
How to properly remove the door trim on a Lada Priora with your own hands
The VAZ-2170 or Lada Priora first appeared on the market in 2007. Since then, it has enjoyed deserved popularity among many car enthusiasts. And there are reasons for this: Priora combines the low cost of a domestic car and good build quality, comparable to some foreign cars. At the same time, the car has a fairly economical engine, and its repair and maintenance will not break the bank. And some simple jobs, such as removing the rear or front door trim, can be done with your own hands.
How to remove the front and rear door trim on a Lada Priora
Removing the door trim on a VAZ-2170 is quite simple, even if you have not done this before. The whole process can be divided into several stages:
- removing screws and fasteners;
- removing door trims;
- detaching the casing from the clips and pistons.
If you do not want to contact a car service, then you can easily carry out this process yourself.
Why may it be necessary to dismantle the covering?
There are various situations in which it is necessary to remove door trim. For example, without this it is impossible to install noise insulation or insulate a door. In addition, if the window regulators or door handles need repair, you also cannot do without removing the trim.
Well, in the end, there may always be a desire to replace the casing with a newer one, with an original color scheme or unique materials.

Required Tools
You don't need a lot of tools to remove the trim. All you need is:
- straight slot screwdriver;
- Phillips screwdriver;
- new clips and pistons (if you accidentally break the previous ones).
Be careful when purchasing new trim clips and clips. The appearance of the fasteners for the Lada Priora is very similar to similar parts for the Lada Kalina. However, the latter are 1.5 mm longer. Such a small difference may prevent the trim from being firmly secured in place.
Sheathing fastener diagram
The fasteners on the rear and front doors of the VAZ-2170 are located in different ways, so the procedure for dismantling the trim will be slightly different. In order to easily remove all the decorative elements of the door, you need to study the principles of their fastenings.
Front door fasteners
Before removing the door trim, you need to understand what parts it consists of. To do this, take a look at the diagram.
the front doors of the Lada Priora consist of several elements
- Front door trim trim.
- Front door trim.
- Front door trim.
- The screw is self-tapping.
- Front door trim insert.
- Front door trim pocket.
Pay attention to where the trim fasteners are located.
location of the fasteners that hold the door trim
Eight clips that hold the trim in place are located at the top of the door, as well as on both sides. They hold tightly enough so that nothing dangles while the car is moving. However, removing the trim is fairly easy once you have removed all the other screws and trim.
Rear door fasteners
The structure of the rear door of the car is slightly, but different, from the front.
rear doors of Lada Priora consist of several elements
- Front door trim trim.
- Front door trim.
- Front door trim pocket.
- The screw is self-tapping.
- Upholstery trim.
The rear door trim is also held in place with clips. Several more lower ones were added to the side and top pistons.

Thus, the design of the car involves 18 clips on each side, to which the door trim is attached.
Stages of removing the casing
Before removing the trim from the clips, you must remove all bolts, clamps and fasteners that are located in different parts of the door. It is most convenient to do this in a certain order.
Before you begin removing the door trim, disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
From the front door
To remove the door trim on a Lada Priora, you need to get rid of all the fasteners. To do this, follow the following procedure.
- Unscrew the button responsible for locking the door and remove it.
- Unscrew the screw on the inside door handle.
- Remove the handle by carefully moving it away with a flat-head screwdriver.
- Find the two screws in the special pocket that secure the power window control module. They can be hidden under a rubber mat.
- Unscrew both screws and remove the ESP module. Now you need to disconnect the connector with wires from it.
- Locate the three screws at the bottom of the door that secure the trim to the door. Turn them inside out.
- This way you got rid of all the screws and fasteners. Now you need to take a flat-head screwdriver and carefully pry off the casing at the bottom.
- Unsnap all eight clips, which are indicated in the diagram, starting from the bottom of the door. Be careful at this stage: broken fasteners are quite difficult to repair.

Due to their small size, screws and clips are often lost. To make the reassembly process easier for yourself, before starting work, prepare a container where you will put all the small parts.
To install the trim in place, place it against the door. Make sure the fasteners are in place. Insert and tighten the lock button. Thanks to this, you can pre-fasten the door components. Make sure the handle fits into its hole. Now you can snap all the clips into place and screw the screws back in.

From the back door
The procedure for removing the trim from the rear door of a Lada Priora is not much different from what was given in the instructions for the front door. The exception is when working with window lifters: here they have a slightly different mechanism.
- Unscrew the door lock button and remove it.
- Using the same screwdriver, carefully press out the window lifter handle lock.
- Pull out the handle itself and its lock.
- Remove the screw holding the inner door handle trim.
- Remove the trim using a flathead screwdriver.
- Remove the two screws located in the small pen pocket under the rubber mat, and then remove the pen.
- Starting at the bottom of the door, remove the trim from the clips. The operating principle is the same as for the front door.
The rear door is assembled in the reverse order.
Be careful when working with wiring, especially those for window regulators. It is quite thin, so it can tear easily.
As you can see, the process of dismantling both the front and rear door trim of the Lada Priora is not particularly complicated and does not require many tools. A set of two screwdrivers will be sufficient. To avoid damaging the door, follow the main rule: not only unscrew the screws, but also remove the parts attached by them. All additional elements, such as door handles or window lifters, will greatly interfere with the process of removing the trim. If you strictly follow all the instructions, you can easily disassemble and reassemble the door trim without resorting to the help of specialists from car services.
