Seat Belt Anchor Bracket For PEUGEOT 308 T7, Driver Side
High-quality used seat belt anchor bracket for the driver side of the Peugeot 308 (T7). This replacement part (often searched under part number 8975K9) restores the secure mounting point for the driver’s seat belt and ensures correct belt routing and retention. Designed for professional garages and experienced DIY mechanics who demand a safe, reliable repair for worn or damaged interior safety fittings. Ideal when the original bracket is bent, corroded, or has been affected by a minor collision or wear.
The bracket secures the seat belt assembly to the vehicle body and transfers loads to the chassis in the event of an impact.

Installation Recommendations
- Always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s repair procedure. Work should be carried out by a trained technician or an experienced DIY mechanic comfortable with safety systems.
- Inspect surrounding structure and seat belt webbing for damage; replace any components that show deformation or wear.
- Use the correct grade of bolts and fasteners as specified by the manufacturer. Tighten fasteners to the manufacturer torque specifications—do not overtighten.
- If the vehicle is equipped with a seat belt pretensioner or nearby airbag components, observe all safety precautions (disconnect battery and allow the recommended waiting time before working on the system) according to factory guidance.
- After installation, check seat belt operation: latch engagement, release, and correct belt routing. Verify there are no unusual noises or binding.
How It Is Replaced
Typical replacement involves removing interior trim panels to access the mounting point, unbolting the damaged bracket, fitting the replacement bracket in the same orientation, and securing it with the appropriate fasteners. Refit trim and confirm the belt operates smoothly. If any pretensioner has deployed or electrical connectors are present, additional steps may be required to restore the system to service.
Why This Part Most Commonly Fails
- Damage from collisions or sudden load events—brackets can bend or crack when the seat belt system has been activated in an accident.
- Corrosion and long-term wear—moisture ingress can weaken mounting points and fasteners.
- Incorrect previous repairs or loose fasteners leading to progressive deformation.
- Pretensioner deployment—when a pretensioner activates it can stress or damage adjacent mounting hardware.
