Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Peugeot (Stellantis)
- Model: Peugeot 407
- Product Codes: 8973PV
- Other Numbers: Color Code FXX (Black)
Function And Application
The bracket holds the passenger seat belt buckle in the correct position so the tongue can engage the buckle reliably. It prevents the buckle from rotating into an inaccessible position and reduces stress on the buckle mounting point. This part is specific to the interior trim and mounting geometry of the Peugeot 407; correct fitment is usually achieved when matching the product code 8973PV and the colour/trim code.
Replacement Procedure
- Prepare Tools: Basic hand tools and trim removal tools. Work on a level surface with the vehicle parked and handbrake engaged.
- Access The Mounting Point: Remove adjacent trim or center console panels as required to expose the buckle holder fixing screws or bolts.
- Remove Old Unit: Unscrew fastenings and carefully free any clips. Inspect the seat belt buckle and anchorage for damage.
- Fit New Bracket: Position the new holder, secure fastenings to original points and ensure the buckle aligns comfortably for the passenger.
- Reassemble Trim: Refit removed panels and check that the buckle clicks in and releases smoothly. Perform a visual check for correct routing and clearance.
Installation Recommendations
- Always Use Correct Fasteners: Reuse original bolts if undamaged or replace with equivalent hardware to maintain safety of the mounting point.
- Inspect Adjacent Components: Check the buckle mechanism, anchor bolts and surrounding trim for wear or hidden damage while replacing the holder.
- Work Carefully With Interior Trim: Use proper trim tools to avoid breaking clips or scratching panels.
- Post-Installation Check: Verify the buckle engages and releases freely and that the belt webbing is not restricted or chafing on the new bracket.
Common Causes Of Failure
Bracket failure is most often caused by long-term material fatigue, UV and heat exposure that make plastic parts brittle, impact damage from collisions or strong door/knee contact, and deformation from improper previous repairs. Corrosion or stripped threads on metal fasteners can also compromise the mounting even if the plastic holder appears intact.
Replacing a damaged seat belt buckle holder restores proper function and passenger comfort. Use the exact product code 8973PV to find this part for Peugeot 407 applications and ensure a precise fitment.
