While driving, the driver must see the situation not only in front but also behind the vehicle. Therefore, the side mirrors play a very important role. Standard mirrors VAZ 2107 are not very convenient because of their small size, and in winter they freeze tightly. But the situation can be remedied by installing new electrically heated mirrors.

Sealant, drill, screwdriver, wires, mirrors
Instructions
Step 1
Read the instructions that come with your new mirrors. It should indicate the technical features of the mirrors. First you need to dismantle the old mirrors. They are usually attached to one-sided self-tapping screws. Remove the protective cover, under which the caps of the screws are located. Unscrew all bolts carefully and remove the mirror.
Step 2
Try on a new mirror mount. It may inaccurately fit into a regular place. You need to purchase a special adapter or fit the mount to fit. It is best to make a small stand between the mirror and the spot on the door. It should be made of a durable material such as plastic. It is necessary to choose plastic with the addition of rubber so that it does not burst at negative temperatures.
Step 3
Make a small drawing of the future stand. Take measurements from the new mirror mount. Do not forget about the holes through which the heating wire will pass. Carefully saw out the workpiece with a jigsaw. Sand all edges until smooth. Try on the workpiece and file off all protruding and excess parts. Drill a hole for the wire. Put a rubber gasket on its edges, which will not allow breaking the insulation of the wire.
Step 4
Drill the holes for the screws. Apply sealant to both sides of the stand. This will avoid extraneous sounds when driving. Gather the whole structure together and press it together carefully. Let the sealant set. Tighten all screws carefully. Put on the mirror guard. Carefully hide the heating wire under the casing and lead it out through the technical opening in the door. Protect the wire with a special corrugated tube. Make sure that it is not pinched when the door is closed. Connect the mirrors through the fuse to the rear window defogger button. Check their functionality.
