Features And Benefits
- Direct replacement for rear left and right seat belt assemblies on Peugeot 407.
- Color matched to FXX Black to preserve interior appearance.
- Restores correct anchorage locations and webbing routing for safe operation.
- Reduces workshop time compared with custom repairs—bolt-in installation to original points.
How The Part Works
Seat belts restrain occupants by locking the retractor during rapid deceleration and holding the webbing securely around the passenger. Retractors can include an inertia locking mechanism and, depending on the vehicle variant, a pretensioner device that activates in a collision. Proper operation depends on intact webbing, a free-spooling retractor, and secure anchorage to the vehicle body.
Replacement Procedure (Overview)
Recommended for qualified technicians or competent DIYers with basic automotive tools. Typical replacement steps:
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait a few minutes before starting—this reduces the risk when working near pyrotechnic pretensioners.
- Remove interior trim panels to access upper and lower anchorage bolts and any electrical connectors for pretensioners or buckle sensors.
- Unbolt the shoulder anchor, lower anchor and buckle as required; carefully disconnect any electrical connectors if present.
- Install the new belt assembly, route the webbing exactly as the original, and tighten all fasteners to the manufacturer’s torque specification.
- Reconnect electrical connectors, refit trim panels and reconnect the battery. Check belt operation: free run, locking under quick pull, and buckle function.

Installation Recommendations
- Always follow Peugeot repair procedures and torque settings when tightening anchorage bolts.
- Disconnect the battery before working on any belt with an electrical connector or pretensioner.
- Replace both belts on the same axle if one belt shows crash deployment or severe wear to ensure even performance.
- Inspect the surrounding mounting points and sheet metal for deformation after a collision; damaged anchorages must be repaired to factory standard.
Most Common Causes Of Failure
- Damage From A Collision — Pretensioners deploy and webbing can be cut or locked, requiring replacement after an impact.
- Wear And Contamination — Dirt, rust or foreign objects can jam the retractor or abrade the webbing.
- Corroded Or Loose Anchor Bolts — Corrosion or improper fastening reduces restraint effectiveness.
- Webbing Degradation — UV exposure, chemicals or long-term wear can weaken the belt fabric and stitching.
