Vehicle Application and Placement

• compatibility with factory mounting points in the Mercedes W204,
• seamless integration with the vehicle's existing safety system.

Technical and Functional Characteristics

The seat belt buckle clip is responsible for mechanically locking the belt tongue and for stable buckle retention during normal driving and sudden maneuvers. The component's design is adapted to the vehicle manufacturer's requirements, which translates to:

• precise operation of the locking mechanism with every belt fastening,
• appropriately selected geometry of the buckle receptacle, eliminating accidental unbuckling,
• compatibility with the factory seat belt used on the front left seat.

As a part from the Seat Belts and Parts category, the buckle forms part of a complete driver protection system, contributing to maintaining a stable body position in emergency situations.

Product Condition and Practical Application

The offered buckle is a used part, allowing for an economical yet technically sound repair of the safety system in the Mercedes W204. This solution is particularly beneficial for:

• post-accident repairs where the seat belt buckle has been damaged,
• rectifying wear-and-tear issues, such as problems with belt locking or unbuckling,
• restoring the original interior configuration in vehicles undergoing renovation or modernization.

Choosing an original buckle for a specific mounting location minimizes the risk of incompatibility and reduces installation time in the vehicle.

The Mercedes W204 is increasingly considered a future youngtimer, making the preservation of a functional, factory safety system important for both practical use and collector value.
