Seat Belt Buckle Purpose and Function

The presented buckle is a component of the passive safety system, responsible for the secure fastening of the seat belt on the front passenger side. Its placement on the vehicle, specified as Front – Right Side, clearly identifies its application in the front passenger seat (in left-hand drive vehicles).

The buckle works in conjunction with the factory seat belt and the vehicle's system, enabling the correct operation of safety features. Proper integration with the seat and center console structure translates to reliable belt guidance and user comfort in daily use.

Original Origin and Fit for Mercedes W204

The buckle has been specifically designed for the Mercedes W204 platform, ensuring factory-perfect fit with the interior structure. Its original Mercedes origin guarantees:

• dimensional compatibility with seat and center console mountings,
• compatibility with the factory front right seat belt,
• correct integration with the vehicle's system (if the buckle is integrated with a seat belt sensor).

This allows the part to be used as a replacement for a damaged buckle without the need for modifications, reducing installation time and the risk of installation errors.

Performance Characteristics and Installation

The seat belt buckle for Mercedes W204 has been engineered for repeated, daily use. The latching mechanism is designed for frequent buckling and unbuckling of the belt, and the body's geometry provides convenient access to the release button.

The vehicle placement specified as Front, Right simplifies part selection during replacement – the mechanic or user can be certain that the part is intended for the front right seat. Installation is performed at the factory location, utilizing original mounting points, which helps maintain the integrity of the vehicle's safety system.

Condition and Application in Vehicle Servicing

The part is offered as a used item, providing a cost-effective solution for post-accident repairs or replacement of worn components in older Mercedes W204 models. Choosing an original buckle from a dismantled vehicle helps preserve the factory performance characteristics of the seat belt system while optimizing service costs.

The buckle is suitable for both professional workshops specializing in body and interior repairs, as well as for users who perform their own vehicle maintenance and expect a precise fit for a specific model without experimenting with universal alternatives.

Selecting the Correct Buckle and Additional Materials

When selecting a seat belt buckle for a Mercedes W204, it is advisable to verify compatibility using the OEM part number and available interchange numbers. This helps avoid errors between body styles, model years, or equipment variants.
