Purpose and Fitment

The presented seat belt has been specifically designed for the rear right side of the Mercedes W169 body. Thanks to its factory construction, it retains the correct mounting points and operating geometry, which translates to proper belt guidance and correct interaction with the seats and upholstery.

The black color of the belt allows for aesthetic integration with most interior configurations used in this generation of Mercedes, without the risk of visual discrepancies between the left and right sides.

Seat Belt Construction and Function

The rear right seat belt is responsible for stabilizing the passenger during driving and in emergency situations. The employed retractor and locking mechanism is designed to:

• maintain appropriate belt tension during normal driving, without excessive slack,
• lock the belt extension during sudden braking or impact, limiting body movement,
• work with the factory mounting points in the Mercedes W169 body.

Its placement on the rear right side of the vehicle means the component is tailored to a specific mounting position, which is important for the correct operation of the locking mechanism and belt guidance relative to the backrest and seat cushion.

Color Scheme and Interior Integration

A black seat belt is a versatile and practical solution, especially in everyday vehicles. This color scheme:

• minimizes the visibility of dirt resulting from use,
• provides a neutral, factory look for the interior, without a "retrofit" effect,
• facilitates stylistic consistency with other cabin equipment elements.

Characteristics of a Used Component

The seat belt comes from a dismantled vehicle, meaning it is an original Mercedes component with a construction that adheres to the manufacturer's factory standards. Such elements are often chosen for accident repairs and for restoring a vehicle to its technical documentation specifications.
