Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for this type of part, the exact replacement procedure may vary depending on the specific design of the car’s interior and the way the belt is attached. With safety elements, it is always necessary to work carefully, without damaging the webbing, covers and anchor points.

1) Before assembly

• Check if the product designation of the old part and the new part match.
• Compare the shape of the winder holder, the attachment, the belt guide and the type of ends.
• Check the condition of the webbing – it must not be torn, swollen, badly rubbed or contaminated with substances that could affect the function.
• Check the winding and smooth operation of the mechanism. The belt must extend and retract without snagging.
• Inspect the anchor points in the vehicle for deformation, corrosion or mechanical damage.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Basic set of hand tools
• Tools for gentle removal of interior plastics
• Cleaning agent suitable for interior and dry cloth
• Work lighting
• Protective gloves

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Park the vehicle on level ground and secure it against movement.
2. Access the installation space by removing the necessary interior covers so as not to damage them.
3. Carefully remove the original seat belt including the retractor holder and all associated fasteners.
4. Compare the old and new part side-by-side – especially belt length, mechanism orientation, bracket shape and mounting position.
5. Clean the assembly area and check the condition of threads, contact surfaces and anchor points.
6. Place the used part in the correct position so that the mechanism is not twisted or mounted at an unnatural angle.
7. Install the winder bracket and other fasteners in the original order of removal.
8. Check for proper belt routing through all guide elements if included in the design.
9. Before covering, slowly extend and retract the belt several times to verify that it moves freely.
10. Refit the interior covers and check that the belt is not pinched anywhere.
11. Try on and off the belt, if the checked assembly also includes a counter at the given location.
12. Perform a final visual inspection of the entire assembly.
• 4) Post-assembly checks and functional test verification
  • Verify smooth winding and unwinding of the belt throughout its normal range.
  • Check that the belt is not twisted and fits properly.
  • Check that the belt returns without excessive jerking after release.
  • Make sure that nothing interferes with the movement of the belt or restricts the function of the interior elements after installation.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Exchanging part design – always compare the product codes and shape of the brackets with the old part.
  • Webbing twisting – before final tightening and covering, check the correct routing of the webbing.
  • Damage to interior plastics during disassembly – use a suitable plastic pry bar and proceed carefully.
  • Installing a dirty or sticking part – always verify the smooth operation of the mechanism before installation.
  • Inadequate inspection of anchor points – any visible damage must be repaired first.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Long-term mechanical wear during normal use
  • Contamination of the belt and mechanism with dust or dirt from the interior
  • Damage to the belt due to friction, pinching or improper handling
  • Deformation or damage after an accident or sudden load
  • Corrosion or damage to attachment points
  • Improper disassembly and assembly that causes a wrong position of the reel or a limitation of the belt movement
