Vehicle Application and Placement

The presented buckle is dedicated to C-Class coupé and convertible models of the C205 and C238 generation, where it is responsible for the stable mounting of the rear left seat belt. Its placement on the rear seat on the driver's side requires the use of a suitable structural element that will work with the factory seat belt and seat mounting system.

Choosing the correct buckle is important not only for safety but also for the proper functioning of the seat belt warning system and the comfort of using the rear seat. The part has been designed for a specific body type, which means it fits factory mounting points without the need for modifications.

Seat Belt Buckle Construction and Function

The seat belt buckle in this Mercedes model performs several key structural and functional roles:

• Precise Belt Buckle Guide – ensures repeatable, secure fastening and unfastening of the belt by the passenger.
• Interaction with the Passive Safety System – a correctly installed buckle enables the effective operation of the belt during sudden braking or collision.
• Appropriate Geometry Relative to the Seat – the angle and height of the buckle are adapted to the rear seat, which limits belt webbing twisting and improves ergonomics.

As an original Mercedes part, the buckle has been designed considering the specific construction of the C205/C238 body, which translates to proper fit with the interior upholstery and plastics.

Benefits of Using an Original Seat Belt Buckle

Using a factory part for the rear left seat belt buckle offers a range of practical benefits:

• Maintaining Factory Safety Standards – construction compliant with the vehicle manufacturer's design.
• Compatibility with Existing Seat Belt – no issues with buckle fit, webbing length, or position relative to the seat.
• Reduced Risk of Incorrect Installation – the part is designed for a specific mounting location on the body.
• Visual Consistency of the Interior – shape and finish matched to the styling of the rear seat in C205/C238 models.

Application of a Used Original Part

Choosing a used seat belt buckle for a Mercedes C-Class allows for maintaining a high-quality OEM part at a lower cost compared to a new component. For many users, this is a reasonable compromise between budget and preserving the original design of the safety system.

For safety-related components, it is particularly important to use parts from the same brand and model family. This ensures that the mounting geometry, lengths, and anchor points remain consistent with the intentions of Mercedes engineers.
