The installation of window closers on front-wheel drive VAZ 2114 models has already been written previously in
This time we will talk about installing window closers on VAZ - Lada Priora cars.
I would like to immediately note the fact that the Lada Priora has window closers, but the functionality of the standard closers is limited.
Standard door closers allow you to release and raise the windows when arming or disarming by holding down the buttons. Which is not entirely convenient.
Agree, this is not very convenient, for example, when you are late, turn off the ignition and are ready to get out of the car, you suddenly remember about the open windows.
You have to put the key back into the ignition and press the power window buttons.
Or it happens that in a hurry you simply forget about the open windows and leave the car with the windows open. This happened to me a couple of times.
I would like all the windows to close on their own when arming. The windows also worked when the ignition was off.
The solution was found on the website: masterpriora.ru
And with the help of closer Master v1.10, the problem was fixed.
The door closer costs only 700 rubles, and its installation does not require removing the door trim, and if you use only the first function, the entire installation will take no more than 5 minutes and you will not need to cut the standard wiring.
Installation of window closers on Lada Priora
1) Unscrew the two screws on the driver's door sill trim.
2) Remove the threshold trim, overcoming the light force of the plastic clips.
3) Bend back the thermal and sound insulation. I'm not interested in this connector.
Moving away from the topic, pay attention to the fact that the technological openings on the side of the body are closed; through them, dust, drafts and unnecessary noise enter the cabin.
4) Disconnect the original connector and connect the closer connectors to them.
These simple steps are enough to ensure that, if there are electric windows on all doors, the windows close after arming.

The functionality of the “Master” closer is not limited to this; you can also enable the ability to disable glass closing. So that at any necessary moment you can leave the windows slightly open to ventilate the interior, read more about this in the author’s logbook.

Designed to ensure their automatic closing when the car is armed. That is, if the driver or passengers forgot to close the windows, it will do everything automatically. If your car does not have this device, then we advise you to buy a window closer. Next, we will look at their types, features, connection diagrams and other useful information. After reading the material to the end, you will receive comprehensive information that will allow you not only to choose a closer, but also to connect it.
Types and features of door closers
First, you need to decide on the operating algorithm of glass closers, their types and features. This information will help you make your choice in the future. So, let's start with a description of how this device works.
The door closer is an electronic control unit that is installed between the electric drive (electric motor) of the windows and its control button on the car doors. When it does not work, it passes command signals through itself to lower or raise the windows. And when the alarm and central locking are turned on, it automatically checks the condition of the windows, and if they are open, the control unit sends a command to the electric drive to close them.
There are several types of door closers, each of which has its own characteristics. Let's look at them in more detail:
Internal part of the door closer
- Window closers for 2 glasses and 4 glasses
. Accordingly, they can be installed in cars equipped with two or four electric windows. There is no fundamental difference in their operation, except for the complexity of the connection. We will touch on this issue a little later. - Availability of memory
. The point in this case is that the device remembers the height of the glass before closing it, and returns it to the same level when the alarm is turned off and the central lock is opened. This function can be canceled if, for example, it is raining outside. The procedure is performed through the control unit interface, and differs for each model. - Availability of protection for glass and external objects
. This implies the presence of a safety mechanism that stops the glass from closing if an object gets between it and the upper edge of the window space. Thanks to it, you can avoid injuries (for example, if such an object turns out to be a human finger), damage to the glass itself, as well as failure of the corresponding electric drive.
Naturally, the price of a glass closer will differ depending on the presence of the listed functions in it, as well as the brand under which the device is produced. As a rule, the connection diagram of the closer does not change due to the presence of additional capabilities. Next we will consider this issue in more detail.
Installing a glass closer
When purchasing the device, the connection diagram for the glass closer must be included. Therefore, all further work must be carried out in strict accordance with it. The window closer unit itself can be installed anywhere in the car interior. Most often it is mounted under the door trim or under the front panel. The main thing that needs to be taken into account in this case is reliable protection of the device from moisture.
To work you will need the following tools:
- Phillips and flat screwdrivers;
- side cutters and pliers;
- electrical tape and/or heat shrink.
Now let's move directly to the question of how to connect a glass closer... As mentioned above, first of all you need to study the existing circuit. For ease of understanding, consider a door closer designed to work with 2 window regulators. Its typical connection diagram will look like this:
Depending on the design of the housing, the module is attached to one or two self-tapping screws (although there may be other options). If you decide to install a door closer under the driver's door trim, be careful when removing it. There are many different wires laid under the trim that ensure the operation of the power windows and central locking. Directly for work you will need a Phillips screwdriver, with which you need to unscrew the mounting screws and remove the trim (installation of the panel may differ for different cars).
The connection diagram for the glass closer involves connecting three wires to its module - power (“plus”), ground (“minus”) and a signal wire, which is connected to the car alarm (together with the central locking). As a rule, the electrical circuit of the closer has its own fuse. It is necessary to protect the device from a possible current surge during switching processes or emergency situations.
Installing a door closer on a VAZ Kalina
The most difficult moment when connecting a window closer is that it is necessary to make an insertion into the wires going to the electric window regulator.
. The insertion locations can be seen in the diagram above. At the same time, it is important not to confuse the “pros” and “cons” of the existing circuit and the connected device. Otherwise, the direction of rotation of the engine, and therefore the movement of the glass, will be opposite. In other words, when installing a car alarm system, the closers will not close, but open the windows.
As for the closer, designed to work with four glasses, the approach will be the same. The only difference in this case is the larger number of wires. If for a 2-window closer three wires are used for power and control, as well as four for raising the windows (two for each window regulator), that is, seven in total, then in the case of a 4-window closer their number will increase by four more (2 more wires each). per additional drive).
Once you have connected the appropriate wires, be sure to insulate them well.
. For this, you can use mounting insulating tape or so-called heat-shrink tubing (an insulating material that “shrinks” when exposed to high temperatures, for example, a portable gas burner). For reliability, you can use both materials.
Install the door panel on the car door only after checking the functionality of the circuit. Hide the mounted wires under the panels so that, firstly, they do not interfere with the driver and passengers, and secondly, they cannot be damaged. To do this, you can use plastic ties, electrical tape, corrugated mounting tubes, and so on.

As you can see, installing a glass closer is not difficult. The main thing is to connect the module according to the diagram, and then carefully insulate the wires and hide them.
What to do if the window closer does not work
"Dial" mode on a multimeter
Sometimes situations arise when the window closer module stops working. Unfortunately, its repair is hardly possible, and if it fails, it is more advisable to buy and install a new one. Especially considering its low price. However, before making a “fatal” diagnosis of the device, still try to check the operation of the entire circuit.
First of all, it is necessary to “ring” the power and signal wires in order to determine their integrity
. This can be done using a tester. Remember that a standard passenger car's electrical system operates at 12 VDC. Therefore, the device must be turned on in the appropriate mode (in the English abbreviation, direct current is denoted as DC). To “test” the wires, the multimeter is set to the resistance measurement mode or to a mode specially designed for this (on models equipped with an audio speaker, it is indicated by the image of a musical note, sound waves or speaker).
Be careful when working! Low voltage is safe for human life, but there is a danger of creating a short circuit during testing, which can cause failure of other elements of the electrical network, including electronic ones!
There are two ways to check the fuse - by measuring the voltage in the circuit or its resistance. In the first case, the algorithm of actions will be as follows:
- Set the multimeter to direct voltage (DC) measurement mode with a limit of about 20 V (depending on the multimeter model).
- Turn on the ignition.
- With one probe we touch the “incoming” contact (to which the “+” comes from the battery), and with the second we touch the “ground” in the fuse box or simply the body of the car.
- If there is voltage at the “incoming” contact, then on the multimeter screen you will see a voltage value of 12 V (it can fluctuate within 2...3 V in one direction or the other). If there is no voltage at the “incoming” contact, then you need to look for an open circuit from the fuse box to the battery.
- If voltage comes to the fuse, then you need to check the “outgoing” contact. To do this, touch it with one probe and touch the “ground” with the other. If there is voltage, then the fuse is intact, otherwise it is broken.
Checking the fuse by measuring resistance is performed according to the following algorithm:
- Set the multimeter to resistance measurement or “continuity” mode (the second mode is preferable, but it is not available on all multimeter models).
- With the ignition off, remove the fuse from its seat.
- Touch one fuse contact with one probe, and the other with the other.
- If the fuse is intact, then the resistance value will be 0; in the “dialing” mode, the multimeter will beep. If the fuse is blown, then the resistance value will be equal to infinity, and in the “dialing” mode there will be no sound signals.
If the fuse housing is made of transparent plastic, you can assess its condition visually. In a working fuse, the wire inside will be intact, but in a failed one, it will be broken.
Checking the circuit
If the fuse is intact, then you should check the power circuit behind it. In this case, it is impossible to give unambiguous recommendations, since everything depends on the specific model of the closer, the method of wiring, the model of the machine, and so on. First, you must visually inspect the integrity of the insulation and the wires themselves.
, which go from the closer unit to the electric window lifter drive. You need to inspect carefully, especially in places where the wires are tied into bundles with plastic ties, as well as at their bends. Check if any of them are frayed.
If a visual inspection does not produce results, then it is necessary to “ring” the circuit. This can also be done using a multimeter. Approximate algorithm of actions:
- Figuratively divide the circuit from the closer module to the control buttons into several sections.
- At each of these sections, “ring” the power and control wires (if this is impossible to do with some wires, then you should limit yourself to a visual inspection).
If you visually or using a multimeter find damage to the wires, try to repair them. If the insulation is damaged, you can use electrical tape or heat shrink. If the wire breaks, install a new one (with a similar cross-sectional area).
Some glass closers must be “trained” after installation, otherwise they will not work. Read the operating instructions for the device carefully.
In a situation where you yourself could not find the cause of the breakdown, go to a car service center. If the closer is out of order, then, as a rule, it is not repaired, but a new one is bought, since its price is low (we will talk about this below). You can order it in an online store, for example, on Aliexpress or domestic sites.

In general, I looked and drew conclusions from all this: if they wanted to catch, they would have found it long ago or at least blocked the operator’s SIM card with just one written request, this can be done from the authorities to the operator, but no one did absolutely anything (the same as with the drug trade - everyone knows everything, but they sold and sell as they did).

We recommend that you buy glass closers manufactured under well-known brands. Do not buy cheap Chinese devices, since there is a high probability of purchasing a door closer with a low working life. In addition, there are many defective products in the low price category. Therefore, we recommend that you do not save money.
Conclusion
A window closer is a very useful device, so if your car does not have one installed, we recommend that you buy one. Installing a door closer with your own hands is quite possible for a car owner who has basic installation skills and knows how to read electrical diagrams. The main thing is that before installation, carefully study the attached documentation, and especially the connection diagram. As for choosing a model, buy devices from the middle or highest price category. They will not only be reliable, but also durable.
In this case, we will consider the issue of installing door closers on a Lada Priora car. It is well known that similar standard door closers are already present on cars, but their functions are limited. With their help, you can lower and raise the windows, setting or removing the car from the alarm system. All this is done using buttons, and this is only done simultaneously with the ignition on. Which, you see, is not entirely convenient. Sometimes you can, quite by accident, forget and leave the car with the windows open.
Therefore, it would be completely useful for all car windows to be locked automatically when the alarm is set. And the power windows would work clearly even with the ignition off.
The solution to the problem turns out to be quite simple. Closer Master v1.10 will help us with this. With its help this problem will be solved.
It’s worth noting right away that the price of this door closer is not very high, only about 700 rubles. And to install it, you don’t need to touch the door trim at all. And if only one of its two functions is needed, then the whole job will take a maximum of 5-10 minutes. You won't even need to touch the standard wires.
Sequence of installation of door closers on Lada Priora.
– First you need to unscrew the two screws on the door trim.
– Then, using a little force, you need to carefully remove the lining itself.
– After this, you should slightly bend the thermal and sound insulation in this place.
– And finally, we replace the standard connector with the connectors of the installed closer.
All. This is quite enough. Now all the windows on the doors of your car will close securely immediately after setting the alarm.
But that is not all. You can add to this the function of turning off the door closer so that the windows remain slightly open. This will be needed, for example, when ventilating the car interior. But we'll talk about this another time.
Nowadays, many developments in the field of automobile accessories are aimed at increasing the operating comfort of cars.
One of these accessories, which is becoming increasingly popular, is a device for automatically raising the door windows when the car is armed with an alarm, it is also a module for one-way closing of the door windows.
Popularly, such devices are called glass closers.
The usefulness of using door closers is obvious; before setting the car alarm, the owner does not need to check whether all windows are closed, since these devices will automatically close them.
Initially, only premium cars were equipped with window closers, and then only in the top configuration.
Over time, many drivers appreciated the benefits of this device, which led to the emergence of universal door closers that can be installed on almost any car.
In addition, some car owners who are familiar with radio electronics have begun to assemble homemade devices that perform their function very well.
general information
Door closers are available in different designs. The technology of their fastening and the method of regulation have some peculiarities. How are the products different?
According to the specifics of installation
- Hidden devices. The mechanism body is placed in the frame or door leaf. Installation of door closers of this type requires a professional approach (practical experience, special tools). They are mounted only on doors whose leaves are at least 40 mm thick.
- Floor models. Their installation is carried out during the process of arranging the floors, since the “body” of the device is placed under the flooring. In the private sector, products of this group are used extremely rarely.
- Invoices. The most common options in everyday life. Installing such a door closer with your own hands is quite simple. Even if you have no experience, it will take no more than half an hour.
By mechanism type
- Rack and pinion + hydraulics. The “working” element in closers of this group is a spring.
- Cam models. Such products are installed in homes much less frequently.
By traction force
This characteristic is called differently - closing force, door closer size, EN class. When choosing a mechanism, the determining factors are the parameters of the door leaf: its weight (kg) and width (mm). This is taken into account when determining the installation option for the device.
Glass closer - what it is, how it works
A car window closer is an electronic unit that connects to either the central locking system or the window control system.
Moreover, it is installed between the control keys and the electric motor that raises and lowers the glass. So this device can only be used on cars that have a control system.
All modules operate on the same principle: since it is included in the system between the keys and the electric motor, the voltage that is transmitted from the keys to the motor in any case passes through the block. But during normal opening and closing, the module is not involved in the process.
As soon as the owner of the car turns them on from the control panel of the security system or central locking, the control module transmits a signal to the device, and it powers the electric motor, which raises the window.
The market for automobile accessories does not suffer from a shortage of window closing modules. They are mainly produced by companies engaged in the production of security systems for cars.
The most popular manufacturers of door closers are Sheriff, Pandora and Tiger, although there are plenty of other manufacturers.
Choosing car window closers is not so difficult. First you need to decide how many windows this module should be responsible for closing.
All this needs to be done because devices are produced that ensure the closure of two glasses, as well as four.
So when choosing, you should consider whether there are glass control systems on the rear doors.
According to this criterion they are divided into:
- Simple single-function;
- Multifunctional.
Simple devices are only capable of closing the windows when arming a car. But multifunctional ones are able to remember the position of the windows before closing and return them to the same position after removing the car from the alarm system.
They can also return the glass to its original position if it hits an obstacle when closing.
Some modules may have a number of other functions that can be turned on and off, in general, you can customize the operation of the closer at your discretion.
But the cost of multifunctional modules is much higher than simple ones, despite the fact that many of its capabilities may not be in demand, and connecting it will be quite difficult.
How to choose?
On the modern market, modules are available in a wide range. The majority are represented by companies that sell car security systems. It is not difficult to choose a window closer; first of all, it is selected depending on the number of windows that the device must cover. There are options covering two and four glasses.
The presence of a control system on the rear doors must also be taken into account. The possibility of installing the module on them depends on this.
Devices can perform one task or be multifunctional. The latter, in addition to closing, when the alarm is turned on, remember the location of the windows before installation and bring them to their original position after removing the car from the security system. It is also possible to return to the previous position if an obstacle is encountered during closing.
There may be a list of additional features that, if necessary, can be disabled when configuring the device to the desired parameters. A power window closer for 4 windows will cost more than the simple version, taking into account the fact that most of the functionality may turn out to be unnecessary if the connection is quite difficult.
Installing a simple door closer
The more functions and the number of doors that the module will work with, the more difficult it will be to include it in the car’s power supply circuit.
You can install such a door closer yourself without any problems.
You will need a few tools:
- Screwdrivers;
- Knife and wire cutters;
- Insulating tape.
First you need to decide on the installation location of the device.
If the car has only one window control system, installed on the driver's door, but also responsible for opening the glass on the passenger door, then it would be better to install the module inside this door.
If the systems are separate and located on two doors or the control keys are located on the center console or tunnel, then installation under the dashboard would be optimal.
Installation and connection.
After choosing the installation location, you can begin installation and connection.
The module must be powered from the car’s on-board network, so a “positive” wire must be connected to it, as well as “ground”.
Then you need to identify the wires that transmit voltage from the control keys to the electric motors.
According to the diagram supplied with the closer, the wires from the module are inserted into the power supply wiring.
Each door has its own outputs in the module and they differ in the color of the wires.
It turns out that the wire running from the key to the electric motor is cut in a place convenient for connection and the module wires are connected to each end of the wire.
This way the module is connected to the glass control system.
It is important to choose the right wires, since there are two of them from the keys to the electric motor - when voltage is applied to one of them, the glass is raised, and when voltage is applied to the second, it is lowered.
If the module is mistakenly connected to the lowering wire, then when the car is armed, the windows will automatically open.
Next, you need to connect a wire to the closer that will transmit an impulse from the security system module. Moreover, you need an impulse that will be transmitted to the module within a few seconds after arming the car.
Different systems use positive or negative impulses. Therefore, before connecting, you should find out what kind of impulse the system installed on the car sends out.
Closers are universal, so they have output for positive and negative impulses, the main thing is not to confuse them.
After connecting all the wiring, before removing all the wires, it is better to check the functionality of the closer.
If everything works fine, all that remains is to properly insulate all wire insertions and then remove them from sight.
Connecting a 4-door closer is done according to the same principle, only there will be more connections to the standard wiring.
Features of installing double glass on a car
The very phrase “double glass” implies something extraordinary, given the location on the car. It would seem that there are two windows installed on the car, it’s hard to imagine. But it's quite convenient. They wanted to, lowered the tinted glass and left the transparent one. The principle of this design is quite simple. Another standard glass is inserted on top of the standard glass. The interior is tinted. Everything seems simple and easy, but there are some installation features.
To implement it, a whole series of preparatory work is required. If you contact a car service center, be sure to check with them whether they have a certificate for this type of work. Double glass tinting is performed using a special technology. There is a patent for this technology. If the company does not have documentation confirming that they “own” this technology for applying tinting, then it is worth thinking about what you will pay that kind of money for. Moreover, no one will give you a guarantee in this case.
Madeline is applied to the inner surface of the outer glass and the outer surface of the inner glass. It prevents scratching and contact between glasses. A layer of tinting is applied to the outer surface of the inner glass. Installing double glass requires minor modification to the window motor and removal of the door reinforcement.
Remember, this type of car tinting will not be cheap. This is perhaps one of the disadvantages. In addition, the disadvantages include the absence of a door reinforcement and a mirror surface due to double glass. Among the advantages of double glass, there is virtually no noise due to double glass, the ability to “control” the tinting (day, night, in the rain, when stopped by traffic police), all the other advantages of regular glass tinting.
Homemade door closer
As for homemade door glass closers, car enthusiasts have already created a large number of different models that work well. Moreover, there are also simple homemade devices, and some manage to create multifunctional sensors.
It’s not difficult to make a simple closer, having a little knowledge of radio electronics, and you also need the elements to create the module.
You will need several capacitors, electromagnetic relays, a timer and several transistors and resistors.
