• maintaining the factory belt system geometry as designed by Mini,
• eliminating slack and accidental unbuckling of the belt while driving.

The part is specifically designed for installation in the rear of the vehicle, ensuring correct positioning relative to the seat and backrest, and compatibility with original mounting points.
