Intended Use and Fitment for Mercedes ML W164
The presented Mercedes ML W164 Rear Left Seat Belt has been specifically designed for installation on the driver's side rear bench seat. The design and geometry of the mounting points are consistent with factory mounting locations, which facilitates installation and ensures proper integration with the vehicle body and seats.
The original origin of the component means that its operating parameters are maintained in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's specifications, including the characteristics of the retractor, emergency lock, and the length of the webbing tailored to the interior of the ML W164 model.
Color Scheme and Interior Integration
The seat belt is made in a grey color, matching the factory upholstery configurations used in the Mercedes ML W164. This allows the component to harmoniously blend with the door panels, pillars, and the rear bench, avoiding a visual "add-on" effect.
The grey webbing and color-matched plastic elements help maintain a cohesive cabin appearance, which is important for both post-accident repairs and professional interior restoration.
Functionality and Safety Aspects
The original Rear Left Seat Belt for Mercedes is a crucial element of passive vehicle safety. It is designed to:
- stabilize the passenger's position during everyday driving and sudden braking,
- work in conjunction with the vehicle's safety systems, such as pre-tensioners or airbags (if present in the specific configuration),
- ensure predictable lock operation in emergency situations, as per the manufacturer's design.
Using an original component instead of an unverified aftermarket alternative reduces the risk of malfunction of the retractor or locking mechanism, which directly impacts the level of passenger protection.
Condition, Origin, and Benefits of Choosing Used OEM
This item is from the Seat Belts and Parts category and is offered as a used part. This means real cost savings while maintaining a design consistent with the original Mercedes project. For many users, this is a sensible compromise between budget and preserving the vehicle's original specifications.
Choosing a used, original seat belt allows you to:
- maintain factory safety standards without the need to invest in a new component,
- retain full mounting compatibility with the ML W164 body and seats,
- reduce repair costs while utilizing an OEM component.
How to Choose the Right Seat Belt for Your Car
When selecting a rear left seat belt for your Mercedes ML W164, it is crucial to pay attention to:
- exact placement on the vehicle – rear, left side,
- compatibility with the body style and year of the ML W164,
- interior color scheme to avoid visual discrepancies.
If in doubt, it is advisable to refer to the OEM number or consult with a mechanic to ensure that the chosen belt will properly integrate with the existing mounting points and upholstery elements.
