Application in Mercedes-Benz S-Class W220
The presented rear center seat belt buckle with double buckle has been specifically designed for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class W220 generation sedan. The component is installed in the rear of the vehicle and is responsible for the secure, stable fastening of seat belts for passengers using the central seat on the bench.
Thanks to its construction conforming to factory solutions, the buckle works with original seat belts, maintaining the correct webbing geometry and manufacturer-specified mounting points.
Construction and Function of the Double Buckle
The double buckle allows for the simultaneous fastening of two independent seat belts within a single buckle assembly. This configuration:
- ensures proper load distribution in the event of sudden braking or collision,
- facilitates space organization on the rear bench seat by reducing the number of separate fastening points,
- maintains predictable safety system behavior in accordance with Mercedes' design intentions.
This solution is particularly important in luxury sedans, where passenger comfort is combined with high demands for passive safety.
Component Characteristics and Installation
The offered buckle belongs to the seat belts and parts category, meaning it is an integral component of the passenger restraint system. The element is intended for installation in the rear of the vehicle, at the factory-designated mounting point on the center tunnel or seat structure (depending on the solution used in the specific W220 version).
In practice, installation involves:
- mechanically attaching the buckle at the original mounting point,
- checking the free movement of the buckles and the correct latching of the belt tongues,
- verifying the operation of the release buttons and the absence of play in the mounting.
Due to its importance for safety, it is recommended that installation and operational checks be performed by a qualified workshop experienced with Mercedes seat belt systems.
Benefits of Using an Original Buckle
Choosing the original rear center seat belt buckle with double buckle for the S-Class W220 allows for the consistency of the entire safety system. Key benefits include:
- factory fit to interior construction – no need for modifications to upholstery or mountings,
- maintaining the manufacturer's designed fastening geometry, which is crucial for seat belt effectiveness,
- compatibility with original rear bench seat belts,
- consistent interior appearance – the element stylistically matches other equipment components.
This solution is particularly well-suited for vehicles where maintaining the original specification and full functionality of safety systems is a priority.
Condition of the Component and Application of Used OEM Parts
The offered seat belt buckle is a used part, sourced from vehicle dismantling. For many workshops and users, this means the opportunity to use an original OEM component while reducing repair costs compared to purchasing a new part.
