Installation recommendations
Notice: Below is a general procedure typical of replacing a seat belt. The exact steps may vary depending on the specific design of the seat/mount in the car.
1) Before assembly
- Compare the codes (14008311XX, 8974A0) and color (FXX – Black) with the old part.
- Check if the belt is torn, cut, burnt or excessively chafed.
- Check the winding function: the belt must wind smoothly and immediately lock when jerked.
- Check the buckle and lock (if included): they must click securely and release.
2) Necessary tools and materials
- Normal set of gola/ratchet and extension (according to the type of screws in the car)
- Screwdrivers / plastic pry bar for removing upholstery covers
- Flashlight
- Clean cloth for cleaning the contact surfaces
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure
- Secure the car against movement and create access to the installation site (folding/sliding the seats as possible).
- Remove the covers and trims that prevent access to the belt attachment points.
- Carefully release the old seat belt from its attachment (anchor points, possible belt guide).
- Remove the old retractor/belt assembly so as not to damage the surrounding plastics and upholstery.
- Clean the mating surfaces and check the threads/fastening points for damage.
- Install the new (used) belt in its original position and guide the belt along the same route as originally.
- Attach all anchor points and make sure the belt is not twisted or pinched anywhere.
- Put back the removed covers and linings and check that nothing restricts the free movement of the belt.
- Perform a manual function test: smooth winding, blocking when jerking, correct guidance through the guides.
-
4) Post-assembly checks and function verification
- Try putting on and taking off the belt in the actual seat position.
- Check that the belt tightens properly after release and does not return slowly.
- Check that there is no sharp edge rubbing anywhere and that the belt does not catch when the seat moves.
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Twisted belt – before final tightening, check the guide and orientation of the belt along its entire length.
- Bad seating of trim – plastic parts can pinch the belt; after assembly, pull out the belt several times and let it wind up.
- Negligent control of the winder – always test the blockage with a jerk before the covers are fully assembled.
Reasons why the part is damaged
- Mechanical damage to the belt: cut, frayed, rubbed against sharp edges or pinched into the seat mechanism.
- Material ageing: weakening of the fabric due to time, UV radiation and repeated stress.
- Contamination: clogging of the mechanism with dust/liquids can impair winding and locking function.
- After an accident: the belt and retractor may be overloaded and subsequently malfunction (e.g. worse retracting or permanent blocking).
- Incorrect handling: suddenly releasing the belt back can damage the winding mechanism in the long term.
