Intended Use and Function of the Component
The presented rear seatbelt height adjuster is part of the seatbelt system in the S212 estate body style. This component is responsible for changing the position of the upper seatbelt anchor point on the rear bench seat, for both the left and right sides. This allows for:
- better belt routing adjustment to the passenger's height and position on the rear bench,
- reduction of point pressure from the belt on the neck or shoulder,
- maintenance of the correct safety system geometry during driving and in emergency situations.
Construction and Fit for the S212 Body
The component has been specifically designed for the S212 body structure, taking into account the shape of the pillars and the upholstery of the rear cabin. This means:
- factory fit for the mounting points in the body on the rear left and right sides,
- compatibility with the original seatbelt routing for this model,
- preservation of the integrity of the seatbelt system and parts without the need for modifications.
As a component within the seatbelts and parts category, the adjuster works with the factory-installed seatbelts on the rear bench, creating a complete safety system compliant with the manufacturer's design.
Benefits of Using the Original Height Adjuster
Using the original seatbelt height adjuster in the Mercedes S212 offers a range of practical benefits:
- preservation of the manufacturer's designed passenger protection on the rear bench,
- stable belt guidance even with frequent folding and unfolding of the backrests,
- aesthetic integration into the interior trim without visible modifications,
- easier diagnosis and servicing of the seatbelt system in the future.
Vehicle Placement and Installation Aspects
The adjuster is designed for installation in the rear cabin, on the left or right side. This solution allows for the use of one type of component for both sides of the vehicle, simplifying part selection during repairs or equipment completion.
During installation, it is important to ensure:
- correct belt routing through the guides and rollers associated with the adjuster,
- appropriate tightening torque of the mounting bolts according to service documentation,
- checking the free movement of the mechanism after installation is complete.
Condition and Application in Vehicle Service
The offered rear seatbelt height adjuster is a used part, sourced from disassembly. This is a practical solution for workshops and owners who want to restore the full functionality of the seatbelt system in their Mercedes S212 while maintaining a favorable cost-to-quality ratio.
It is particularly useful in situations where:
- the original adjustment mechanism has suffered mechanical damage or seized up,
- the component needs replacement after bodywork and paint repairs to the rear of the vehicle,
