Hello, I am soon to be a new Lada owner.. I will be going against better recommendations and looking to swap my rear sliding window with anyone in the Gauteng area, for their solid rear windows..
We can discuss the trade and fitment...
Also looking for a standard front grill?
Kind regards
Aidan

Sliding windows may leak from time to time but they are really nice to have.

Hi Dimitris On my Niva they would also leak at the same place but only when washing it with a hose. I bought 2 new Defenders, one for me and one for my partner, 285000 Rands each and what do you think ? they both leaked at the same place. . I think the sliding windows must all be made by the same company as I think you will find they all leak no matter how expensive the vehicle is. Ronnie

Hey all, thanks for the response, Ruan, I see you are in Hartties, Not far from me.. How do we exchange contact details? Sparky not sure on the going rate for front grill, apparently a BMW front light came loose on the freeway and bounced up into my soon too be Lada... I don't see prices for such a item on Ladapower web site?? I'm interested... Will post a pic of grill.. Nice too see and feel the LAda community via this forum... Attachments:

Hi Dimitris,
Are those Fiat Uno seats in your Lada? Do you have guidelines on installation?

I think the sliding windows must all be made by the same company as I think you will find they all leak no matter how expensive the vehicle is. Ronnie Hi Ronnie I have a great aversion to the rust. If the windows continued to leak water, I'd give them to the scrap..... ;D ;D ;D Now the water continues to enter through the glass but the thicker rubber does not leave it to leak into the car but leak it out. The photo shows the traces that have been created by the water on the rubber. Hi Dimitris, Are those Fiat Uno seats in your Lada? Do you have guidelines on installation? ... Hi Aidan, welcome to the forum. The seats are from two-door Fiat Punto S1. The only bad thing is that it does not remove the seat cushions. I have not pics but if you want I can take some pics to show how I've installed them. Regards, Dimitris

Hi Dimitris.
I solved the problem of the opening side windows by installing an air conditioner unit. If I had the original fixed windows I would have reinstalled them. I am sure back seat passengers will appreciate the sliding windows.
