Vehicle Application and Placement

This seat belt is designed for installation on the rear seat of a MINI, suitable for both the right and left sides. This feature simplifies selecting the correct part for post-accident repairs or replacing a worn-out belt, eliminating the need to search for different versions for each side.

The black color of the belt ensures consistency with typical MINI interior upholstery, allowing the part to blend seamlessly with the factory cabin finish and requiring no additional aesthetic modifications.

Seat Belt Construction and Technical Function

The belt is part of the vehicle's passive safety system, responsible for securely holding the passenger in place during sudden braking or collisions. Its construction includes a retractor mechanism, a webbing strap, and mounting points that interface with the factory anchorages in the MINI body.

As an original Mini part, the belt is precisely fitted to the body geometry of the R50/R53 series, ensuring the correct webbing path relative to the seat and body, and proper interaction with other safety system components.

Benefits of Using an Original Used Seat Belt

Using an original seat belt from the same model line helps maintain the factory performance parameters of the safety system. In practice, this means:

• Secure fit to the mounting points in the MINI Cooper R50/R53 body,
• Compliance with the manufacturer's original safety standards,
• Consistent interior appearance due to the black webbing and original finishes.

For many users, this represents a sensible compromise between repair cost and maintaining the manufacturer's intended design, especially when replacing a single component after a collision or due to wear and tear.

Fitment by OEM Number and Interchangeable Numbers

Seat belts should primarily be selected based on the OEM number and interchangeable numbers to minimize the risk of purchasing an incompatible part. Verifying compatibility with factory numbers is particularly crucial for MINI models, where variations exist between body styles and model years.

Condition, Installation, and Practical Tips

This part is from a dismantled vehicle and is intended for reinstallation. Before installation, it is recommended to perform a standard check of the retractor mechanism's functionality and the webbing's proper locking action during a sudden pull. Installation should be carried out adhering to the torque specifications provided by the vehicle manufacturer.
