Many of my readers are often asked me - what are the drills for the car and should they put them at all? One of my reader wrote - that he traveled around the whole city in search of a subsidence, alleged grandfather he said that it was necessary to put it. So is it necessary to install or not? Let's think together ...

For a start, a small definition.

Sanders – protective coverswhich are installed in the wheeled arches of cars, thereby protecting the body "under the wings", and the "wings" themselves from the fall of dirt, dust, in the winter period of snow and salt. Thus, the service life of body elements increases.

In fact, it is a piece of plastic bent under your body, which "seals" the upper part of the wing. Install on all four wheels, two front and two rear. They are screwed as a rule on the self-tapping screw.

Previously (approximately 10 - 15 years ago), the liners were very common. Because the main fleet these were our domestic cars - such as VAZ 2105, 2107, 2106, 2109, 21099, etc. The bodies were poorly protected from corrosion (VAZ 2105 and 2107 were especially suffering, the wings rotted very much), and therefore, at immediately after the salon, many were driving on third-party stations, where they were processed by anti-corrosion compositions and put the drills. Thus, it was possible to increase the service life of body elements, namely wings 2 - 3 times. And if you repeat the anti-corrosion processing of about 3 to 4 years, the metal almost did not suffer at all.

The main decent effect was in winterWhen the scene-sand mixture began to pour on the road. She stuck under the wings of cars and decompose that they were said from the inside. Sometimes to through holes. There were no contactless miles, and therefore washing this mixture (from difficult places) was problematic. Yes, and reluctant it was to do in the cold himself.

Therefore, our Russian motorists, those years (and these are our grandfathers and fathers), harshly postponed in the brain that - you need to put a fender! So the metal of the body will serve longer!

And what about foreign cars, all are our Solaris, Kia Rio, and let's say our priors?

Do I need to put the sings?

Now the technology has really stepped forward. As in terms of painting the body of the car, and in terms of protection of it from corrosion. It should be noted that foreign cars have always been well processed from corrosion, previously encountered such options as galvanized inserts in the body, which have delayed all corrosion (increasing service life). Of course, the price of such a car was more expensive, and therefore this is not used on all foreign cars, especially on budget (or folk).

But you should not immediately run to the store. Almost any manufacturer now gives a guarantee from rust for five to seven years. And the matter is here in new compositions from corrosion.

The car body now passes a lot of degrees of so-called protection against exposure to external facts, an aggressive environment.

They can be listed on points:

1) phosphating.

2) primer.

3) several layers of painting (still varnish and grinding)

4) applying special composition on the bottom of the car

5) protection of the cavities of wings, thresholds and bottoms special composition. This is usually mixtures of polyvinyl chloride (or other PVC compounds), as well as bitumen and wax. Such a composition is very effectively protecting the body.

So guys if you sum up - the body of your foreign car, and modern domestic carsWith a large probability, it will endure 6 - 7 years without any corrosion. And then, usually the machine is changing to a new one. So those who "skate" by car 3 - 5 years old may not even think about the installation of the subsidence.

And what if the car is operated for more than 6 years?

Here, guys, it is better to put the lingers, the point here is what is the composition of polyvinyl chloride, bitumen or wax, with time it is cut, sometimes even falls off. Therefore, the metal remains one to one with a harmful environment. Again, sand and salt on the roads work as an abrasive composition that hears from the bottom not only protective composition, but also paint and even primer. Therefore, the metal that remains without protection is very quickly rust, and then rotates. So they will be here, as if it is impossible, as they will not give sand and salt, it is drifting this composition and saved from any external influence.

And in general, after six - seven years of operation of the machine, you need to make the prevention of the body, it is desirable to once again apply the protective composition on the bottom and under the wings of the car. Put protective shoes, process hard-to-reach cavities, etc. Thus, you will extend the body's life of the car for another a few years.

Installing the subsidence as sound insulation

It should be noted - that many make not care about protection. By installing the sneakers, they make extra noise insulation. As a rule, a special composition is applied above it, which makes the arches of the wheels almost silent. Also, the vibroplast (special material) is installed on top, to quench unnecessary vibrations. What it gives is not heard of neither stones, nor the wind of the wind in the arches at speed or the noise of rubber.

Outcome

If you take a car for 3-5 years, especially if it is a foreign car (let both budget), then the fencers do not necessarily put it, you can not even bother. If you take the car already used (from five years old) or with the intention of ride 10 years 10, then unambiguously needs to somehow secure the body, and install the scenes is a very good way out. They will also not be unnecessary to those who fight for silence in the cabin, especially in the ground cities.

The arches are susceptible to rot, like any part - so they need to be protected. For this, they put the sneakers (lockers). They are without self-tapping screws and with self-drawing, which screwed up around the perimeter of the wing.

For priors from the factory, special plastic housings are put, which are closed with metal wheel arches from ambient. These details rarely have to change the considerations of practicality. Often, car owners are looking for analog cladding on the prior, preferably without self-tapping screws, which will provide a large area of \u200b\u200bcoating metal arches. The price of these parts from 300 rubles to 3000.

This is not just a decorative lining. She has a practical purpose, and even can break. Like any plastic element, in the frosty time it becomes too fragile, so the time of its replacement is only approaching. Foreign shoes Priors are quite high-quality elements and well developed functionally.

Full-hand drivers of the vehicle car - Article and price

"Official" name - wing panels. Each shield consists of two parts - one is mounted under the wheel arch, and the second goes under the bumper. The price of the liner for Lada Priora is on average 500 rubles per piece. Much depends on the store. Factory shoes on the priori, which are called lockers, received the following catalog numbers:

• right: 2170-8403602, 2170-8403362;
• left: 2170-8403603; 2170-8403363.

Why put the liners (lockers)

Each body has several zones that are subject to corrosion more than others. Wheel arches get a serious damage, because for a whole year it is tightly in contact with raindrops and snow. Therefore, they need to protect them - corrosion without protection arches will develop with rapid speed.

Lockers on the prior is considered the most common and efficient solution. They are made of plastic. It makes it easier to carry snow and water than metal, so the parts become the best solution. Trying to protect the body from the early appearance of rust, you should apply a simple and at the same time an effective way.

Even at the Body plant, the VAZ-2170 is stiguously processed by an anti-corrosion layer along with other zones subject to rust. In aggregate with protective housings of wheel arches, it is necessary to constantly provide protection against the rapid "aging" of the metal, but modern realities do not allow even the strongest machines to work without rust.

Not only snow and rain drops will be clogged inward, but also reagents. All this causes a serious blow to the primer, and therefore, even under plastic covers, corrosion is often born. An anti-corrosion layer should be updated so that under the new locker the metal has long been existed without rust.

Major faults

Wing shields change before their malfunction manifests. The idea of \u200b\u200btheir replacement comes by car owners who want to keep the kind of favorite car for a long time. But, nevertheless, the damage to the shields of wings on the car can also appear:

• Plastics is not firmly firmly adjacent to the wheeled arch. The reason for this loosened fastening. As a result, an unpleasant sound next to the wheel and dirt that rushes inside, lingering for a long time, creates a favorable environment for the formation of rust.
• Crack in the shield. Through it will also be snow and water.
• Mechanical damage. Appear after a strong impact. Such an effect can be achieved if it is too hard to hit the frozen plastics, knocking down the leg of the snow from the wheel arch.

Producers and prices of analogs

Among all the analogs are allocated by the suburbs of the novline (Novline) on the prior. They can be with noise insulation and without it:

• With "Shumkov": left front - NLS.52.16.001, right - NLS.52.16.002. Left rear - NLS.52.16.003, right - NLS.52.16.004. About 800-900 rubles per piece.
• Without noise insulation: rear - NKK16.004, NLL52.16.003, front - NLL52.16.002, NLL52.16.001. About 350-400 rubles per unit.

In addition to the protective housings of the wheeled arches, the "NOVLINE" The analogue offers the firm "Totem" with noise insulation:

• rear left subsidence - 99999-2170-11082, 950 rubles;
• rear right - 99999-2170-21082, 950 rubles;
• front left - 99999-2170-31082, 770 rub;
• front liner shoes - 99999-2170-41082, 770 rub.

My opinion is the following: practicality of course should be present, but thick lockers on vehicle cars and a dozen look not very beautiful, even collective farm!

Installation: How to put a lingers on the prior

Installing the suburbs and the removal process will be considered on the example of the front right locker. New elements under the prior can be on self-drawing or without self-tapping screws. Installation of protective casing without drilling the arches is possible - at the same time strong clips will be involved, which are not inferior to self-draws.

There is one point: when the locker is replaced, it is convenient to carry out additional anti-corrosion treatment of the body. Therefore, for your own convenience, it is worth not just unscrew the wheel to access the fasteners of the flaps of the wings, and remove the wheels completely. Having at the same time, two works at the same time, it turns out to prolong the protection of the wings under the shelter of new lockers.

To dismantle the protective housings of the wheel arches, the priors will need a cruciform screwdriver and the key "10". If you decide to apply an anti-corrosion layer, you can use rubber-bitumen mastic or anticorrosive. You can restrict ourselves to a pit or an overpass if you do not want to remove the wheels. Work in the following order:

1. Under pressure rinse lockers to remove all dirt.
2. First, unscrew the nuts that closer to the body center using the key.
3. Just below the self-tapping screw, which is installed under the threshold. Remove it with a screwdriver to loosen the mudguard mount.
4. Remove two more screws that stick the mudguard, from the wing. Set the mudguard.
5. The head is screwed down the bolt, which is located at the top of the wheel arch.
6. A little left will be self-tapping screw to unscrew the crucible screwdriver.
7. Pull the back of the hider, which is closer to the body center.
8. Using the head, unscrew the nut, which fastens the front of the locker to the bumper.
9. Remove the three self-pressings that hold the shield on the spot.
10. Pull the front of the locker to yourself.

By setting new wingspins using self-tapping screws, make sure that the shields themselves were completely covered with anticorrosive, as well as process self-tapping screws - they can become a "weak link", which will be the first to rust.

The advantage of installing lockers for priors without the use of self-use - with clips - not only that it is not necessary to spend anticorrosive on their processing. To install the clips when fixing plastic parts will have to make small holes. It turns out to avoid contact of the metal with the metal, which can not but rejoice - the chance of rust appears.

After the anti-corrosion layer is applied, check the layer density - there should be no weakly scratched sections. Only after make sure that the wheel arches are completely closed from rust, perform the installation of new parts. Make sure that the shields are sufficiently firmly adjacent to the metal, without forming unnecessary slots in the places of compounds.

Today it is unlikely that you can meet a car owner who still did not understand why the feet of the car are needed and how useful they are. So, they are given a protective function, providing a car longer operating deadlines without the need for repair.

What are useful for a fear

In the process of using the car, its body is subjected to detrimental effects of dirt and water, which also add chemical reagents in winter, generously scattered by roadboards along the tracks. All this is in constant contact not only with paint and varnish coating, but also directly metal. It is enough to enter a small amount of salt from the winter road so that the foci of corrosion began to progress. Due to the presence of a subsidence (you can also meet another name - lockers), the rate of corrosion formation may noticeably decrease. Moreover, the installation of such elements is improved by noise insulating properties, the arches are protected from snow sediments, the comfort increases during trips.

Is the fencers needed?

Modern technologies have significantly improved the quality of the color of body elements, which increased their corrosion resistance. It should be noted that the body of foreign cars always differed by the best anti-corrosion processing, moreover, in some models, galvanized elements were present that could make corrosive effects. Naturally, the cost of such cars turned out to be more, so the use of this on budget models Not entirely justified.

Nevertheless, it is not worth sending immediately for the purchase of lockers, because most manufacturers have the stated warranty period From the appearance of rust reaches 5-7 years. Important moment To achieve such deadlines, it is not so much to apply special processing compositions, but to use a multi-stage body protection system:

First, phosphating is performed;
- then applying primer;
- Then the paint in several layers, accompanied by varnish and grinding;
- processed by a special line of bottom;
- The special composition is protected by cavities in the bottom, thresholds, as well as wings.

Thus, the body of the majority modern machines calmly can withstand corrosion at least 6 years, after which some just buy new car. If you are the last, you can refrain from the installation of the subsidence. Planning to ride on your car long and not have serious problems With the state of the body, it is still better to think about the acquisition of lockers.

If you recall the former times, most cars, even completely new, were produced from the factory without a fenders. Moreover, it was most often not both the front and rear lockers. But for the most part related to cars domestic productionAlthough many budget cars suffer in the lack of protection in the wings.

Now this problem is partially solved, but even if you take such relatively fresh cars as Lada Calina and grant, as well as prior, then the backlocks are installed there, and the front is disguised in such a way that many car owners also believe that they are at all not. But even if you did not find such accessories on your cars, do not rush to buy them and install them on your car.

The main disadvantages of installation are not factory lockers

Before you refine, carefully inspect interior Wings with good lighting. If you take the same Kalina or grant, then from the factory there are already in front of lockers, which are very neatly installed without the use of metal screws. In this case, in no case install additional fees.

The fact is that the end of the wing is very thin, and if you drill a hole for the locker installation, then it is from this place to rot your car faster. Do not believe? I do not recommend checking on your example, but pay attention to the front wings of many Russian cars that come across your eyes. You will notice a strange feature:

• machines that do not have abnormal lockers, most likely they will not suffer with rims on the arches
• but those cars that have already been subjected to this kind of tuning will most likely have corrosion. S. inner from these holes

Even if there was no protection in the rear arches at all from the factory, do not think that by installing new lockers, you protect the body from corrosion in these places. Everything will be exactly the opposite. It is in those places and will start rusting the car.

Again, remembering your personal car, I can say that in front of the regular shoes performed perfectly their function, but the rear was not at all. And even a hint of corrosion in my case was not, but my friends and acquaintances, who put on their sinks on the self-tapping screw, had already tinted arches, and repeatedly.

And what about foreign cars?

If you pay attention to many foreign cars, not low-budget, then there both rear and front factory lockers are attached with the help of metal screws, but this does not say that corrosive spots will begin to appear in the places of attachment.

In fact, foreign manufacturers think in advance about such things, and such holes are already manufactured there on the conveyor, and in fact they do not have disorders of LCP and metal. Why our manufacturers do not do that, for me is not a mystery, and I think that our auto industry does not care about your customers, that's the whole answer.
