Intended Use and Fitment for Mercedes W204
The presented seat belt has been specifically designed for the Mercedes W204 body style, taking into account the rear seat geometry, mounting points, and belt routing on the left side. This ensures the correct operation of the retractor mechanism, appropriate working angle, and user ergonomics for rear-seat passengers.
Its placement on the rear left side of the vehicle allows for direct replacement of a damaged or worn part without requiring modifications to the body structure. Using an original seat belt supports the maintenance of factory passive safety parameters, which is important for both daily driving and emergency situations.
Construction, Color Scheme, and Interior Integration
The black color of the webbing and trim elements facilitates integration with most interior configurations used in the Mercedes W204. This color scheme is universal, meaning the belt does not visually stand out against the upholstery and other interior components, maintaining a cohesive, factory character of the cabin.
The original construction from the Seat Belts and Parts category ensures compatibility with factory mounting points, pretensioners, and pillar and seat trim elements. The retractor mechanism is adapted for operation in the rear left position, promoting smooth webbing extension and retraction and proper locking in case of sudden braking.
Characteristics of a Used Part
The seat belt is offered as a used part, meaning it comes from vehicle dismantling. Such components are often chosen for collision repairs and for restoring a car to its factory specification when it is important to maintain the original safety system design. A used belt allows for economical repair while retaining the correct type of fasteners and operating geometry.
Choosing an original, used seat belt for the Mercedes W204 is particularly beneficial when aiming for a precise fit for a specific body style and avoiding compatibility issues that can arise with aftermarket alternatives of different specifications.
