Replacing rear view mirrors is a fairly rare procedure. It may be the result of careless driving, or a consequence of the action of some “night vandal.” The replacement procedure itself is quite simple. The only tool needed is a very ordinary Phillips screwdriver. replace the rear view mirror with your own hands without much difficulty .
Rear view mirrors provide full control of the road situation around the car. Side mirrors are among the elements that are most often damaged due to careless driving. Knowledge of how to remove and install side mirrors on a VAZ 2107 will not be superfluous.
Removing and installing a mirror on a VAZ 2107
- use your fingers to unscrew the locking washer, which is located at the base of the mirror adjustment lever;
- Unscrew the screw securing the decorative trim using a Phillips screwdriver;
- know the plastic decorative trim;

What kind of mirrors are installed on the VAZ 2106
As mentioned above, the standard exterior mirrors of the Six are not suitable for all car owners.
And there are several reasons for this:
- small size. Since the area of the mirror elements in standard mirrors is very small, the review also leaves much to be desired. In addition to the limited visibility, standard mirrors have blind spots, which also do not contribute to safe driving;
- lack of protective visors. Since the “six” is a rather old car, its exterior mirrors do not have “visors” that protect the surfaces of the mirror elements from rain and sticky snow. So in bad weather the driver is forced to periodically wipe the outside mirrors. It is clear that not everyone likes this;
- The mirrors are not heated. Because of this, the driver is again forced to manually clean the mirrors from ice;
- appearance. The standard mirrors on the “six” can hardly be called masterpieces of design art. It is not surprising that drivers want to get rid of them.
We list the mirrors that drivers install instead of standard ones.
F1 type mirrors
The name F1 was assigned to these mirrors for a reason. In appearance, they resemble the mirrors found on Formula 1 cars. The mirrors are distinguished by a massive rounded body and a long thin leg.
You can purchase them at any store that sells spare parts for car tuning. The owner of the “six” should not have any problems with attaching these mirrors. They are attached to the car using a standard plastic triangle. They are held on by three self-tapping screws. To install the F1 mirrors, you only need a Phillips screwdriver. F1 mirrors have both pros and cons:
- the undoubted advantage of F1 mirrors is their modern appearance;
- mirrors of this type are adjusted from the cockpit using a special lever. This point becomes especially important for the driver in bad weather;
- but the review of the F1 mirrors leaves much to be desired, since the area of the mirror element is small. As a result, the driver has to adjust the mirrors every now and then. This happens every time the driver moves the seat back slightly or changes the angle of the backrest.
Removing the “dead zone” in mirrors
Small self-adhesive spherical mirrors are sold for tuning mirrors. Their range is quite large, so the shape and size of such mirrors can be selected individually.
The field of view of spherical mirrors is much wider than that of standard ones. Thus, the problem of “dead zones” is finally solved.
To install heated rear view mirrors, use self-adhesive heating film, which is sold in stores. You will need a screwdriver, a plastic ruler, double-sided tape and heating film.
To modify the mirrors, you need to remove them from the car. Installation of electric heating is carried out as follows:
Heated mirrors are ready. All that remains is to connect the wires to the car's electrical network.
Rear-view mirrors are necessary for the driver to control the traffic situation when performing various maneuvers to change lanes from one lane of the roadway to another, as well as for the convenience of reversing maneuvers. For the convenience of the driver, the design of the cars provides for the presence of rear side mirrors located on the front doors and one internal mirror located in the car interior, centrally located near the windshield.
Troubleshooting problems that subsequently cause the VAZ 2106 starter to not turn
The search for starter problems should occur in several sectors. These include the device itself, the battery and the electrical communication system. Therefore, if the VAZ 2106 starter does not turn, first of all you need to check the condition of the battery and determine its charge level. Next, you should clean all wiring contact connections and ensure its integrity. Then you need to check and clean all fuse contacts.
If the cause of the malfunction was not identified during a routine inspection, the starter will have to be removed for subsequent disassembly. This will require a set of tools and some special skills.
When disassembling, it is important to pay attention to the following points:
- assess the condition of the contacts of the electrical wiring connections
- check the integrity of certain windings
- determine the presence of graphite brushes, as well as their production
- determine how efficient and worn out the bendix is.
All internal components of the electric motor are regularly exposed to various contaminations. This could be dirt, dust, erased graphite, grease, insulation. This fact can also cause it to work incorrectly. This may also be a consequence of burnt contacts, wear of individual parts, failure of a special relay, or sticking brushes.
When disassembling the starter, it is necessary not only to eliminate a specific malfunction or breakdown, but also to clean and also check all engine parts.
It is important to check the readings of the ammeter (optimally - no higher than 23 A) and voltmeter (no higher than 9 V). If the values exceed the norm, then there may be a short circuit in the electrical wiring
Using a tester you need to check the condition of the windings. Their coils must be dried and treated with insulating varnish. If there are scratches on moving parts, you need to remove them with sandpaper.
It must be remembered that collectors with worn plates cannot be repaired. If the insulation is damaged, it is better to replace it, as well as all parts whose wear rates exceed the established specifications. If the thread is torn or damaged, it can be restored with a new thread. If oxidized contacts are detected, it is recommended to clean them.
After all repair work has been carried out, the equipment is assembled in the manner prescribed by the instructions. It is best to regularly carry out preventive inspection and cleaning of starter parts. In this case, you can avoid serious damage in the future.
Removing and installing a mirror on a VAZ 2107
Replacing a side mirror is not a complex, skilled job. The only tool required is a Phillips screwdriver. The order of operations is as follows:
- use your fingers to unscrew the locking washer, which is located at the base of the mirror adjustment lever;
- Unscrew the screw securing the decorative trim using a Phillips screwdriver;
- know the plastic decorative trim;
- remove the rubber gasket located under the lining;
- Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the bolt securing the rear-view mirror (at the same time, you should support the mirror so that it does not fall);
- remove the mirror.
To install the side rear view mirrors on a VAZ 2107 on a car, you must perform the operations in the reverse order.
Tuning
The mirrors on the VAZ 2107 are not very functional and have a good design, so the owners of the “Seven” often upgrade them or replace them with mirrors from other cars. This achieves several goals at once: the appearance of the car and the viewing angle in the mirrors are improved, the functionality of the side mirrors is increased (the ability to fold when parking, electric drive, heating). Below we will look at examples of upgrading rear-view mirrors with our own hands.
About chrome plating of rear view mirror housings
Some drivers, trying to give the mirrors of their “six” a more presentable appearance, chrome their bodies. The easiest option to get a chrome mirror housing is to go out and buy one. The problem is that chrome housings for VAZ 2106 mirrors cannot be found everywhere. Therefore, drivers choose the second option and chrome the bodies themselves. There are two ways to do this:
- you can simply stick a vinyl film with a chrome-like surface onto the body. This is fast, but vinyl film is neither durable nor wear-resistant;
- You can paint the body with paint containing chrome, and apply a layer of varnish on top. This is a more durable, but also more labor-intensive option for chrome plating.
Let's look at each of these methods in more detail.
To apply vinyl film, the following tools and consumables are required:
- roller with rubberized surface;
- vinyl film “chrome effect”;
- stationery knife;
- marker;
- construction hairdryer.
Heated mirrors
To install heated rear view mirrors, use self-adhesive heating film, which is sold in stores. You will need a screwdriver, a plastic ruler, double-sided tape and heating film.
To modify the mirrors, you need to remove them from the car. Installation of electric heating is carried out as follows:
- unscrew the 4 screws located behind the mirror glass;
- remove the hinge;
- separate the mirror from the plastic backing using a plastic ruler;
- clean the back surface of the mirror and the backing from any remaining tape;
- glue the heating film to the back of the mirror so that the connection terminals are directed towards the car;
- remove the cover at the bottom of the case by unscrewing the screws;
- connect two copper stranded wires to the terminals of the film;
- insert the wires into the outlet hole of the mirror handle, through which the control lever passes (to prevent them from fraying, it is necessary to protect them with a plastic tube);
- stick the glass onto the substrate using new double-sided tape;
- install the rear view mirror by first drilling a hole at the bottom of the decorative trim and threading the wires into it.
Heated mirrors are ready. All that remains is to connect the wires to the car's electrical network.
For special connoisseurs of comfort, it is possible to install rear-view mirrors with electrical adjustments

The internal combustion engine (ICE) is the driving part of the car, (also sometimes called the “heart of the car”), it sets the car in motion and the most important characteristics of the car, such as speed, torque and power, depend on it. Each car has many modifications that determine the characteristics of efficiency, power, and reliability. Choosing an engine is a responsible procedure that subsequently determines the quality of the car’s performance.
