Application and Fitment for Mercedes W204
The front left seatbelt has been specifically designed for Mercedes C-Class W204 models. Its placement on the vehicle is clearly defined as the front left side, which simplifies the selection of the correct component for post-accident repairs or interior upgrades.
Thanks to its factory OEM construction, the belt works with the original mounting points in the body and the vehicle's factory safety systems. This ensures the correct geometry for the webbing's path and the proper functioning of the retractor and pre-tensioner mechanisms within the passive safety system.
Construction, Color Scheme, and Interior Integration
The presented component belongs to the seatbelts and parts category, meaning it is an integral part of the passenger protection system. The black color of the webbing and the retractor housing allows for seamless integration with most Mercedes W204 interior configurations, including standard versions and more elaborate equipment packages.
The original construction ensures:
- precise fit to the pillar and seat – no modifications to mounting points required,
- correct webbing path through factory guides and covers,
- compatibility with factory interior trim elements such as door panels, trim strips, and sill covers.
Performance Characteristics and Safety
As a safety system component, the front left belt in the Mercedes W204 is responsible for restraining the passenger in the seat during sudden braking or collision. The OEM design is engineered with consideration for:
- controlled webbing tension during normal driving,
- increased resistance and locking during sudden acceleration or changes in direction,
- interaction with other vehicle safety systems such as airbags and pyrotechnic pre-tensioners (if present in the specific vehicle configuration).
By maintaining factory design parameters, replacing a worn or damaged belt with an original component restores the level of protection designed by the manufacturer for the driver and passenger.
Condition, Origin, and Benefits of Choosing a Used Part
The offered seatbelt is a used part, sourced from vehicle dismantling. Such components are often chosen for post-accident repairs as they allow for maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications while reducing costs compared to new parts.
The main advantages of using an original, used seatbelt include:
- factory fit for Mercedes W204 – no installation or compatibility issues,
- preservation of the original safety system geometry,
- economical post-accident repair while maintaining OEM standards.
