Component Purpose and Function

Its placement on the vehicle is clearly defined as the rear left side, which simplifies selecting the correct component when replacing a damaged or worn part in a specific cabin location.

Construction and Fit for Volkswagen

As an original Volkswagen part, the seat belt buckle maintains factory-standard mounting dimensions and fastener geometry. This allows for:

• precise fitting with the factory mounting point on the rear left seat bench,
• correct routing and locking of the seat belt buckle,
• compliance with the original safety system used in the Volkswagen New Beetle.

This component belongs to the seat belts and parts category, meaning it is an integral part of the system responsible for protecting rear-seat passengers.

Condition, Origin, and Service Application

The product is sourced from disassembly and is offered as a used part, providing a cost-effective service solution for post-accident repairs or replacement of worn components in older New Beetle models. Using an original buckle from the same model line helps maintain:

• technical consistency of the seat belt system,
• the original interior aesthetic without the need for adapter replacements,
• an optimal cost-to-functionality ratio compared to new parts.

Why Choose This Seat Belt Buckle

Replacing a malfunctioning buckle with an original component from the same model family is a straightforward way to restore full functionality to the rear left seating position. Such a component:

• restores the ability to safely transport a passenger in the rear left position,
• eliminates issues with loose or accidental unbuckling of the belt,
• maintains compliance with Volkswagen's factory standards for passive safety.
