Application and Fitment for Mercedes ML W164
The presented left rear seat belt has been specifically designed for the Mercedes ML W164 model, taking into account the body's geometry and the mounting points in the rear cabin. Its placement on the left rear side of the vehicle ensures compatibility with the factory routing of the webbing, pretensioner, and retractor, which translates to correct mechanism operation during daily use.

Construction, Color, and Function of the Component
This belt belongs to the category of seat belts and parts, which are crucial passive safety components of a vehicle. Its construction relies on a durable webbing with appropriate flexibility and a retractor mechanism that maintains stable tension while driving and allows for smooth extension and retraction of the belt.
The black shade of the webbing is a practical solution – it effectively masks typical signs of wear and tear while remaining visually neutral. This ensures the belt does not distract from other interior elements, maintaining the cabin's consistent, factory character.
Benefits of Installing an Original Seat Belt
Choosing an original seat belt for the Mercedes ML W164 offers a range of practical advantages:
- Factory Fitment – compatibility with mounting points and routing within the body, eliminating the need for modifications.
- Visual Consistency – black webbing color matched to typical interior configurations of this model.
- Proper Mechanism Operation – maintaining the manufacturer's specified retraction and locking characteristics.
- Hassle-Free Installation – construction prepared for installation in place of the original component on the left side of the rear seat.
Used Condition and Practical Installation Tips
This component comes from a dismantled vehicle, allowing for the combination of original manufacturer specifications with a more favorable purchase cost. When installing, it is recommended to:
- Verify mounting points in the body for any mechanical damage.
- Check the smooth operation of the retractor after installation by fully extending and retracting the webbing several times.
- Inspect the webbing's routing through covers and guides to prevent twists and abrasions.
