Key Benefits
- Direct fit for Peugeot 308 T7 rear center position — ensures correct routing and anchorage.
- High-visibility black webbing (Color FXX) that matches factory interior trims.
- Supplies all primary components needed to replace a damaged or worn center seat belt (webbing, retractor and buckle interface).
- Often located by OE/Product codes for quick lookup and ordering.
Installation Recommendations
Follow safe workshop practices during replacement. General steps for replacement:
- Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting work, especially if the vehicle is equipped with seatbelt pretensioners or any supplemental restraint system.
- Remove rear trim panels and possibly the seat cushion to access anchorage bolts and the retractor unit.
- Unbolt the anchorage and lower the old retractor/buckle assembly. Install the new unit in the same orientation and routing as the original webbing.
- Tighten fasteners to the manufacturer’s specification (use a calibrated torque wrench). If torque values are not available, consult a workshop manual or a professional technician.
- Reconnect the battery and verify correct belt operation: smooth extension and retraction, proper locking under a sharp pull, and secure buckle engagement.

Why This Part Fails Most Often
- Wear and Abrasion: Webbing frays or weakens over time from repeated use and rubbing against seat edges.
- Contamination: Dirt, grit, or sticky substances can impair retractor function, causing slow retraction or sticking.
- Mechanical Seizure: Retractor springs or locking mechanisms can seize due to corrosion or internal debris.
- Pretensioner Activation: In the event of a collision the pretensioner may deploy and the belt assembly must be replaced.
- Physical Damage: Cuts, burns or deformation from misuse or accidents compromise integrity and require replacement.
Notes For Mechanics and DIYers
- Part numbers are commonly used when searching or ordering — using the listed codes increases the chance of quick and correct match.
- Always inspect mounting points and anchor bolts for corrosion or distortion and replace any compromised hardware.
- If the vehicle is equipped with a pretensioner, treat the assembly as a controlled safety component: disconnect the battery before work and handle with care.
