This ensures a straightforward installation without the need for body modifications or interference with original mountings.
In practice, this means that with correct selection for the body style and vehicle side, you can achieve:
- consistency with the Mercedes factory safety system,
- proper guidance of the belt webbing relative to the seat and anchor points,
- maintenance of user ergonomics for the rear right passenger.
Characteristics of the Used Component
The offered rear seat belt buckle tensioner is a used part, sourced from dismantling. This allows for a reasonable cost while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. For safety-related components, using a part from the aftermarket makes sense, especially when it comes from the same model family and retains its factory construction.
By choosing such a component, you gain:
- original geometry and fit for the Mercedes construction,
- consistency with other elements of the seat belt system in the vehicle,
- the possibility of economical repair or restoration of the factory system after a collision or wear and tear.
Safety, Installation, and Technical Aspects
The rear seat belt buckle tensioner operates in direct conjunction with the seat belt and the body's mounting points. Therefore, during installation, it is crucial to maintain the correct screw tightening torque, ensure the component is correctly positioned relative to the seat, and check the free movement of the belt webbing. Installation by a person experienced in working with passive safety systems is recommended.
A correctly selected and installed component contributes to:
- stable positioning of the belt relative to the passenger's silhouette,
- reducing the risk of system malfunction during sudden braking,
- maintaining compliance with the manufacturer's design intentions regarding passive safety.
Ecological Aspect of Choosing a Used Part
