Door sills for Lada Granta sedan


What do you need for installation?

Of course, luxury versions have this nice bonus in the form of thresholds, but cheaper trim levels are not equipped with them. Therefore, consumers not only need to buy a car, but also take care of various important details.

Most often, the absence of thresholds on a Lada Granta car is noticed by its lucky owner only after the purchase and immediately begins to think about how to install them. We hasten to please you, installation of this part will not take much time and effort. You can do this yourself. But first of all, you will have to buy everything you need for the work: a set of thresholds (suitable for the Lada Granta from Kalina), pistons and screws, 16 pieces each.

On average, the entire purchase will cost 1000 rubles. True, there is information that it is not so easy to find the necessary caps in all cities, but usually these consumables are sold at car markets and stores. In order not to make a mistake with the size of the required screws, unscrew one standard one and buy the rest in its likeness.

The best place to borrow screws is under the panel. To be more precise, in Lada Granta cars that are not equipped with overlays, there are 2 plates under the panel. They hold up the carpet. You can safely unscrew the screws from these plates; you will no longer need them.

Well done. A couple of questions: are there already holes in the thresholds or did you drill them? And the second question: are the linings factory or anonymous craftsmen?

the holes are standard, in the front where the fender even the standard clip for the self-tapping screw was on top, the rest had to be installed new ones, the trims from the officials cost 600 rubles, but at the car market they were 400, I got them there, I don’t know whether they were standard or not, but the clips for the screws at the car market were 50 They cost rubles apiece, and the dealer had 10 rubles, so first I drove through everything, looked at the price tags, and then bought them.

Well done. A couple of questions: are there already holes in the thresholds or did you drill them? And the second question: are the linings factory or anonymous craftsmen?

I had these installed at the factory.

I went into the salon, some have them, some don’t. .

It depends on the configuration. I installed them myself the other day, but it took me an hour.

yes, that’s understandable, I had a pre-luxury set with casting for 15... there’s nothing in it except Conder, but the steering rack was already at 3 turns, when I changed it after 110,000, I had to pay 8600 for it and 2000 for the work

The Lada Granta door sill trims themselves are inexpensive, everything together will cost you no more than 500-600 rubles; you can buy trim parts in almost any auto parts and accessories store. The cover can be for both Granta and Kalina, although most often available for Kalina and for some reason gray in color, although the interior on all cars is initially black. But those who made the cladding exactly gray note that scratches are less visible on it than on black, which is also a positive thing. And if parts are not available in stores, the Internet will always save you, where there are a huge number of specialized sites where you can order parts and receive them in a fairly short time.

We install it ourselves

So, if you have purchased new thresholds for Grants, you can begin installing them. For this:

  1. Pull the rubber seal installed in the doorway; it must be removed.
  2. If you haven't already removed the strip under the panel that holds the carpet in place, now is the time. By the way, you can throw it away; after the door sill trim is installed on the Lada Grant, this part will not be needed.
  3. Lifting the carpet, you will see standard holes in the body, and you need to insert the prepared caps into them.
  4. Make holes in the carpet so that you can screw screws into them later. Make small holes (just holes all the way through). In this case, the screw will also hold the floor covering.
  5. Now return the sealing rubber to its place and you can screw the threshold. Installation is complete, the remaining 3 will be installed in the same way.

This cover will decorate your car.

If you want to add a bit of creativity and individuality to your “swallow”, you can purchase not ordinary thresholds, but illuminated ones.

The Lada Granta will be illuminated using a special LED insert made of plastic. The quality of this material is high, it will not be damaged by rain and snow and is wear-resistant. Therefore, you don’t have to worry, such decoration will delight you for a long time.

LED overlays for the Lada Granta car are mounted on top of an already installed threshold using double-sided tape. That is, you will first have to attach a regular threshold, and only then install the backlight.

For the backlight to function, it must be connected to the door limit switches. Just keep in mind that not all modifications have all 4 limit switches; in the simplest configurations of the Lada Granta there is only one - on the driver's door. The installed lighting will function without additional devices, from the car’s on-board network. Such overlays can be purchased in specialized stores; they usually come complete with everything necessary for installation.

Now you know how to install thresholds on your Lada Granta yourself if they are not supplied by the manufacturer. The process is simple and every car owner can do it if they want.

I'm tired of vacuuming up sand after passengers. .it will be cleaner

Every motorist has had to deal with an unpleasant situation - significant contamination of the interior. The penetration of dust and dirt compounds onto decorative carpet upholstery is not so dangerous, because cleaning can be done using a regular car vacuum cleaner. But, nevertheless, now there are special sill covers, as well as internal linings that will help make your task easier.

What to do if moisture penetrates into the interior and provokes the occurrence of corrosion spots? To do this, there is an excellent and relatively inexpensive option for solving this problem - using door sills. Self-installation of linings directly on the Lada Granta sills takes no more than an hour and a half.

Types of door sills for Grants

Cars from domestic manufacturers are delivered incompletely and with defects, which the owner has to eliminate on his own. Modern VAZ products, although different from their Soviet-made counterparts, still have a lot of minor flaws. In this regard, foreign cars have gone far ahead. On Grant, the thresholds are made of easily soiled material that quickly becomes dirty. To avoid this, you will have to install them yourself.

The domestic market of auto accessories includes more than one thousand items, for every color and taste. Car door sills can be divided into 3 main groups:

  • Plastic;
  • Decorative;
  • Chrome plated.

What's the difference? Let's try to figure it out. Plastic elements come our way most often. They are inexpensive, and some cars are equipped with them from the factory. The manufacturing quality of such linings is quite high. The features of the plastic from which the linings are made allow them to absorb impacts on the body sills and leave the factory paint layer intact. If it receives a strong blow, the plastic takes everything on itself and, in the worst case, it simply breaks. In the warm season this is unlikely, but in winter it is a common occurrence. The fact is that the plastic from which these protective elements are made changes its properties in the cold and becomes more brittle. But it is better to replace the trim than to repair damage to the surface of the body. Even if the paint layer can be restored, almost nothing can be done about the dent.

In car dealerships there are linings made of durable shockproof plastic, but finding them is quite problematic: demand greatly exceeds supply.

Decorative thresholds appeared on mass sale not so long ago. Basically, they are made of fiberglass: an elastic material that is resistant to abrasion. Although fiberglass is susceptible to cold and hardens in the cold, it is more resistant than plastic elements in the lower price segment. They are intended not so much for protection, but to complement the design of the car. Still, the material is universal and lends itself well to painting. Here you can also find overlays with various bells and whistles, such as backlighting. It looks very interesting, especially in the dark. The only disadvantage of luminous overlays is the fragility of the design. And they will have to be washed much more often than utilitarian plastic.

Chrome door sills for Lada Grante are the most expensive option. This set looks very presentable, because they are mostly made of stainless steel.

Steel ones are the most durable of all and are less susceptible to mechanical damage, and they do not react at all to aggressive environments (road reagents, dust and dirt). Made of stainless steel, they are very elastic, thanks to which they absorb almost any impact. Such protection is not cheap: steel linings are the most expensive on the domestic market of automobile accessories. Steel allows you to apply chrome or nickel to the surface, this makes the car look more attractive. What lining is best for the Grant? We think it's plastic. Kalina is equipped with plastic protection from the factory. And practice of use shows that plastic elements cope with their task perfectly.

By the way, there is a tendency among car owners to use overlays from Kalina on Grant. You can use this experience if you haven’t found anything suitable in the auto store.

Plastic covers are quite cheap and very practical.

What are the internal door sill trims for?

Door sill covers for Lada Grants primarily perform a protective function. With their help, you will protect the paint layer from mechanical damage and prevent road reagents, dirt and sand from getting under the carpet in the cabin. The fact is that passengers, when boarding, very often touch the floor covering in the cabin with their shoes, which is why particles of the road surface and other things that should not get there get there. If this is ignored, over time the body floor will begin to rust and deteriorate. And protection has no less priority: this part of the body most often comes into contact with shoes and chips, scratches and other defects appear in the area, worsening the condition of the metal of the body.

There are no special lotions to protect the interior of the body from moisture and dirt, and therefore it is simply necessary to install door sill covers on the Lada Granta.

Another function they perform can be considered aesthetic. And now there are many options for decorative elements in car dealerships: simple, stylized for a specific car, chrome-plated, luminous, etc. There are so many of them, it would be difficult to list them all. In small towns there is little choice, and therefore very often car owners find a wide range in online stores. The difference in relief, colors, branded logos of manufacturers - all this makes threshold covers not only a protective element, but also a decorative one. You can always choose a set that matches the color of the interior.

Do-it-yourself installation of plastic thresholds on the Lada Granta

You ordered the treasured thresholds from the store, picked them up and are about to install them. To do this, you will need the following set of tools:

  • Crosshead screwdriver;
  • Slotted screwdriver;
  • A stationery or pocket knife (the latter is preferable);
  • Wire cutters;
  • Self-tapping screws or self-tapping screws (if not included, select your own).

First of all, we will remove the protective rubber bands that seal the connection between the door and the thresholds. Afterwards you will need to detach the small plastic element that protects a small area on the inside. The factory carpet is attached with ordinary construction staples; they will have to be bent using a slotted screwdriver or knife (be extremely careful). Having folded back part of the interior covering, find the standard rectangular holes. Clips (a kind of plastic sleeve) are placed in these holes. Using a knife, you will need to make slits in the trim in places where the carpet covers the holes. At this stage, you can already return the door seal to its proper place. All that remains is to figure out how the trim will be located on the threshold and simply screw it on using self-tapping screws or screws prepared in advance. Do not overdo it: it is very easy to twist the self-tapping screw, you should not tighten it too much. Otherwise, you will have to remove the clip and replace it with a new one (a twisted one will not hold the fastener, and such fasteners will be of no use).

How to install

  1. Bend the edge of the seal and remove the fastening brackets (nippers) underneath it.
  2. Remove the plastic threshold profile under the carpet.
  3. Install plastic bushings into the body holes.
  4. Make holes in the carpet in the area of ​​the installed bushings (with a hot nail).
  5. Install the door sill trim and secure it with screws.
  6. The front sills are installed in a similar way, but are additionally secured with a standard screw, which is located in the area of ​​the driver’s left foot.

The whole process is also shown in the video:

What do you think, are these accessories useful? Let us remind you that the following accessories have recently become popular: a gas tank cap bracket and a switch key.

Sequence of actions when setting thresholds

  1. We place the car on a level platform, open the doors, and begin dismantling work.
  2. We start with the driver's door, unscrew the four standard screws from the trim, and remove it.
  3. We insert polymer pistons into the holes, they fit perfectly.
  4. We apply the threshold and screw it with self-tapping screws.

When it comes to installing stainless steel trims and decorative inserts on the outer threshold, we use double-sided tape instead of screws. We pre-treat the surface, remove dust, dirt, and moisture.

Some service stations and tuning studios practice fitting metal onto self-tapping screws, but not every owner agrees to drilling a number of through holes in the car. By analogy, we complete the installation on the remaining sections of the thresholds.

Installation of thresholds on Lada Granta

Before starting work, disconnect the rubber seal of the door opening from its original location by simply pulling it towards you. The carpet will be secured with construction staples to the plastic strip. Disconnect this strip from the carpet; the strip itself will no longer be useful to you.

Insert the pre-purchased pistons into the standard places in the body; our screws will be screwed into them.

Next, you need to cut holes in the carpet for the screws. Some people cut it with a square, but I recommend cutting just a through hole so that the screw, among other things, serves as a holding function for the carpet and in the future it will not bulge from under the threshold.

The last step is to return the rubber seal of the door opening to its place and screw the threshold into place. This completes the installation.

What types of door sills are there for Grant?

Many motorists have encountered the problem of excessive interior pollution. Dust and dirt getting on carpets is not so bad, because cleaning can be done using a regular car vacuum cleaner.

But the penetration of moisture under the coating can lead to the formation of rust and subsequent expensive vehicle repairs. For old and new Grant, door sill covers will be an inexpensive and simple solution to this problem. Self-assembly of accessories can be done in literally 1.5 hours.

What are the thresholds for the Lada Granta?

Regular plastic models, durable steel analogues, as well as designer products are produced. Grant's standard plastic door sills attract buyers with their low cost.

With careful use, the elements will last for more than a year. But stainless steel linings, although they have a higher price, can last several times longer. Their only drawback is the appearance of small scratches on the surface a few years after installation.

Special designer products are also very practical, but have an original and stylish look. For the most part, for the new Lada Granta, door sill covers from private developers may have an attractive glowing emblem or name.

Additionally, the elements are coated with a special compound that prevents minor damage to the steel surface. True, such accessories are quite expensive and require time-consuming installation.

Why install Granta door sill covers and which products should you choose?

The main task of the overlays is to protect the transition from the threshold to the floor of the cabin. The driver and passengers will no longer cling to the mat. At the same time, water in the area of ​​the thresholds will not flow to the base.

For modern Granta, sill covers can increase the life of the car and protect it from unnecessary damage and rust formation. The elements will also give the vehicle a more stylish and solid look.

When choosing accessories, you should pay attention to the activity of car use. If the owner rarely travels by transport, then plastic door sill covers for the Lada Granta will do just fine, which will save personal funds.

If the car is used for work or daily personal trips, then the installation of stronger and more durable elements will be required. These can be ordinary steel plates or designer accessories.

The advantages of the last two types are their high wear resistance. In most cases, the linings will serve the owner as long as the car itself. They do not require special care, but you need to remember the need for professional installation of designer products.

Grant's original illuminated door sills need to be connected to power. Otherwise, the LEDs simply won't work.

DIY processing, process

The first thing to do is to thoroughly wash the car and dry it. Moisture will cause the spray to roll off, preventing you from achieving a dense, even coating. Next, we inspect the car. It is necessary to find all places where rust accumulates and clean them. Now we fence off areas that do not need treatment - film or a bag is quite suitable for this.

Important. When treating hard-to-reach areas, you will need a powerful sprayer. If you don’t have it, don’t try to apply the products in other ways - they won’t produce results, or they will be uneven, which is the same quality as no treatment.

For high-quality processing, a minimum of two layers are required, each of which must dry (the drying process, depending on the product, lasts from 5 to 13 hours).

Such independent coating, provided it is of high quality, can safely protect your car for 3 years.

Thus, anti-corrosion treatment can not only extend the life of the body of your car, but also do a good job of its noise insulation properties, as well as the strength of the structure as a whole. For guaranteed quality processing, contact professionals. If you decide to act on your own, do not neglect the advice on high-quality anti-corrosion treatment with your own hands.

Anti-corrosion treatment of the Lada Granta is mandatory, like any domestically produced car, despite the excellent performance characteristics of the vehicle: reliability, practicality, and efficiency.

About 30% of the car's parts are made of special alloys, but there are weak points in the Lada. These are the bottom, doors, hollow elements, welding joints. To avoid damage, you need to apply a special coating to such places.

How to install standard door sills for Lada Granta?

In order for the element to really last a long time, you need to take care of the quality of the installation. First, you will need to purchase the kind of Lada Granta door sills that fit the model. You can also focus on accessories from the Lada Kalina, which have identical dimensions.

You can also consider modern products, but they exactly meet the stated requirements in terms of parameters. Once the pads have been purchased, installation can be carried out according to the following instructions:

1. Remove the protective rubber located above the threshold.

2. Remove the small plastic insert, which serves as an internal protective lining.

3. Check for rust; if small spots appear, treat with a protective mixture.

4. Insert the clips into the prepared factory holes, return the rubber seal to its place, and straighten the carpet.

5. We apply a new trim according to the correct location (plastic elements may need holes for self-tapping screws, which the motorist will make manually).

6. Screw the trim using factory self-tapping screws.

In some cases, the protective inner plate is missing, and the clips will already be installed in their rightful places. Therefore, before buying linings for the internal sills of the Lada Granta, it is recommended to study all the elements under the seal. If there are no clips in the threshold, you need to additionally purchase them along with linings and screws.

How to install standard accessories in Grant?

For long-term service of the element, its high-quality installation must be ensured. First, purchase linings that match the modification of your Lada Granta. You can alternatively use accessories designed for Kalina, which have identical dimensions.

It is not forbidden to look at modern products, but they must meet regulated requirements in terms of their own aspects.

Installation of overlays is carried out according to the following algorithm:

  1. We dismantle the protective rubber seal located above the threshold of the LADA Granta.
  2. Next, remove the plastic insert that acts as a protective cover.
  3. Please note that there is no rust. If corrosion begins to appear, we treat the area with a special protective compound.
  4. We integrate the clamps into the holes provided by the factory and return the rubber seal to its original position, and also correct the carpeting.
  5. The new element is applied in accordance with the correct location. Plastic accessories require mounting holes, which the owner must make with his own hands.
  6. We fix the cover using self-tapping screws.

Sometimes the internal protection plate may be missing, and the clips may already “sit” in their seats. It is recommended here that before purchasing the linings, you examine all the elements located under the rubber seal in the LADA Granta car.

If “original” clips are not available, then we purchase them along with accessories.

Many inexperienced owners of the Lada Granta Liftback (Sedan) claim that the door sills from the Lada Kalina are compatible with the Granta. This is partly true, if you don’t measure it down to the millimeter.

In fact, after installing the plastic thresholds from Kalina, an overlap of a couple of centimeters is formed. The value is not critical, for many it is completely unnoticeable, but complete compatibility should not be asserted.

Purpose

Standard factory equipment involves the installation of plastic cladding panels on the internal sills of the car, which protect the interior lining. The disadvantages of standard elements include the insufficient quality of plastic, which quickly cracks and loses its shape. The first Lada models were equipped with rubber pads to protect the threshold, but under the influence of salt reagents that are sprinkled on the streets in winter, the rubber quickly cracked and peeled off.

In addition to their protective function, fairings are an element of the overall interior decor. Beautiful panels, matched to the color of the dashboard and pillar trim, often with chrome plating, and lighting that is activated when the door is open can give the entire car interior individual style and comfort.

Advantages and disadvantages

Door sill covers for Lada Granta for external and internal surfaces are designed to protect the body. The advantages of decorative elements include:

  1. Convenience of passengers and driver when boarding the cabin. The panel tightly covers the outer part of the floor upholstery, the carpet does not bend, and it is impossible to trip.
  2. The design allows you to hide the external wiring of the car if the electrical cables run along the bottom.
  3. The overhead element prevents water from flowing into the interior. This extends the overall life of the body by 25-30%.
  4. The outer coating prevents the appearance of chips on the paintwork from flying gravel, taking on mechanical shocks.
  5. Illuminated covers allow you to comfortably get into the car at night.
  6. The body kit is installed as a tuning element.

Disadvantages should also be highlighted.

Low body kits certainly give the Lada Granta the appearance of a modern, powerful sports car, but at the same time the ground clearance is significantly reduced. In daily use, such tuning will only bring problems. The body kit will interfere with driving to the edges, and, as a result, break or bend.

Choosing trims for the Lada Granta liftback and sedan is necessary taking into account the operating mode of the car and the material of the fairings. Plastic linings of small thickness become unusable after 1 year, wear out or crack.

Incorrect installation of the part on the screws or bolts may not protect the body from corrosion, but may contribute to the rapid flow of water under the carpet.

Before installing the internal and external fairings on the threshold, it is necessary to carry out anti-corrosion treatment.

Do-it-yourself anti-corrosion treatment of car thresholds

Car thresholds need protection, since they are located in the lower part of the car and are subject to the negative effects of external factors (temperature changes, salt reagents, negative temperatures, high humidity).

Often small stones, sand, crushed stone and gravel can leave minor damage on the outside of the threshold. They often become hotbeds of future corrosion processes.

The choice of anti-corrosion treatment for car thresholds is wide and varied. You can find cheap or expensive products. All of them received the general name “anti-gravel for thresholds”. Can be sold in cans or metal cans.

If it is not possible to use a lift to process the thresholds, then it is better to postpone the work to the summer. During the summer months, you can drive onto the overpass and work outdoors. It is impossible to carry out work on threshold treatment in winter or autumn.

The process of treating car thresholds can be divided into several stages:

1. Preparation of materials and workwear.

  • work clothes that cover all areas of the skin;
  • latex gloves;
  • protective glasses;
  • respirator;
  • metal brush;
  • sandpaper;
  • pure water;
  • means for anti-corrosion treatment of thresholds;
  • White Spirit for degreasing
  • rust converter;
  • rags;
  • construction hairdryer

2.Preparing the car.

  • dismantle the protection;
  • thorough car washing with emphasis on sills;
  • drying the car;
  • access to a lift or overpass;
  • removing all rust spots on the thresholds using sandpaper or a special disc;
  • treatment of thresholds with a rust converter;
  • degreasing thresholds;
  • drying thresholds;
  • using masking tape to protect areas adjacent to thresholds;

3.Applying anti-gravel to the thresholds.

  • the can of anti-gravel should be shaken vigorously for at least 2-3 seconds before use;
  • you need to keep the can at a distance of 15-20 centimeters from the surface of the threshold;
  • ensure uniform application of the protective agent;
  • between layers it is necessary to maintain a time of about 5-7 minutes;
  • the optimal number of anti-gravel layers is at least 3;
  • to speed up the drying of the anti-corrosion agent, you can use a hair dryer;
  • removing masking tape;
  • installation in place of protection;
  • use the car no earlier than 2 hours after treatment.

There is nothing complicated about treating rust thresholds. You need to prepare and follow the sequence of actions. There is no need to rush, as the quality of the work will suffer.

Types of internal linings

Internal and external linings are classified according to the material of manufacture and installation method. Fairings are installed in one of the following ways:

  • for auto glue;
  • double sided tape;
  • bolted connection;
  • on self-tapping screws.

Bolts and screws are used to install parts made of plastic, more than 3 mm thick, fiberglass, or metal. This method is reliable and durable, but also has its drawbacks. If the base is rotten, screwing in the bolts can cause a break in the base threshold or distortion of the supporting structure. Before installing decorative overlays, the threshold and bottom are inspected and repaired.

Installation with double-sided tape or auto glue ensures a tight connection between the panel and the base. But due to the fact that the inner fairing must cover the threshold and press down the carpet, it is inconvenient to glue massive overlays; it is better to use self-tapping screws, and install only the upper strips and protective strips with glue.

Thresholds for Granta Sport are of the following types:

  1. Plastic made of hard ABS plastic, tailored to the specific configuration of the car. If the overlay protrudes in size, the part can be easily aligned by cutting off the extra centimeters with metal scissors.
  2. Metal, made of stainless steel with primary or additional chrome plating. The decorative element can withstand loads of up to 350 kg and has a long service life.
  3. Made from fiberglass. The protection has a service life the same as steel elements, but due to its low weight it does not create additional load on the body.
  4. Illuminated fairings. A very convenient option if children often travel in the car. An additional light built into the rear sill allows kids to get in and out of the car comfortably.

You can choose trims both in the online store and in a special service; the internal fairings on the Lada Granta have catalog numbers, which make it easy to select the required part.

Catalog numbers for interior linings for Lada Granta sedan/station wagon:

  • Front left -1118-5109077;
  • Rear left - 1118-5109079;
  • Front right - 1118-5109076;
  • Front left - 1118-5109077.

Manufacturers also offer fasteners in the kit if the parts are mounted with screws. If the fairing kit does not include screws and bushings, the fasteners have their own catalog numbers, which will allow drivers not to make a mistake when choosing:

  • Fastening screws, 16 pcs. - 1118-8212786;
  • Bushings, 16 pcs. - 1118-8212778.

Why is it installed and what type of product is preferable?

The main purpose of the accessory is the protective function of the transition area between the threshold and the bottom in the LADA Granta interior. The product eliminates the unpleasant moment when the driver or passengers “cling” to the mat. In addition, the pads will prevent water from flowing under the thresholds. It is also advisable to use internal linings.

Mounted accessories allow you to slightly extend the service life of the body, since they protect its elements from moisture and the appearance of corrosive formations. An undeniable advantage will be the fact that it gives the car a stylish look.

Before choosing thresholds for the Grant, you should carefully evaluate the activity of the car. If traveling is a rare activity, then it would be rational to make do with plastic decorative elements. This approach allows the owner to save a certain amount of money.

Door sills for Lada Granta (Code: )

Door sills for Lada GRANTA. Stainless steel threshold covers perform a protective and decorative function, which is why they are so popular and relevant.

Buying door sill covers means, firstly, to protect the threshold covering from damage, and secondly, to add brightness and style to an inconspicuous, previously “dull” doorway.

The door sill covers are made in Russia from high-alloy stainless steel with a thickness of 0.5 mm, which is an ideal indicator in order not to create the impression of being made of tin. This thickness allows it to fit perfectly into the space between the door and the threshold and maintain the necessary rigidity.

To install the door sill on a car, 3M double-sided tape made of high-quality foam polyethylene is used. This tape creates excellent adhesion to the threshold coating. This circumstance also distinguishes steel thresholds from cheap competitors.

The linings bear branded inscriptions with the name of the car model Lada GRANTA.

Each position in the model range of door sills is made individually for the threshold of a specific car model, perfectly emphasizing all its bends, width, length and other configuration features. The door sill covers are supplied in original packaging, which allows you to protect them from damage during transportation.

Buying door sills for Lada GRANTA means making the right choice. Indeed, in terms of price/quality combination, door sills are the ideal offer on the market.
