Description
Durable replacement rear seat belt for the right or left rear seating position in first generation Peugeot 3008 and 5008 models. This item is commonly searched by part number 8975HY and is suitable for mechanics and experienced DIYers who maintain or repair Peugeot interiors. The belt is finished in color code FXX (Black), matching original interior trim.
Function And Application
The rear seat belt restrains rear passengers during normal driving and locks instantly in the event of sudden deceleration or collision. Depending on vehicle specification, the belt works together with the retractor and, where fitted, a pretensioner and load limiter to reduce forward movement and improve occupant safety.
Installation Recommendations
- Follow Manufacturer Procedures: Always follow Peugeot/PSA service instructions and torque specifications when replacing seat belt components.
- Battery Safety: If the vehicle is equipped with pretensioners or pyrotechnic devices, disconnect the battery and wait at least 10 minutes before starting work to reduce the risk of accidental deployment.
- Removal And Fitment: Remove interior trim panels to access the anchor points, unbolt the anchorage and retractor, fit the new belt in the same routing position, and secure bolts to the manufacturer torque. Ensure webbing feeds freely and the retractor locks correctly under a sharp pull.
- Function Check: After installation, verify free retraction, locking action, and buckle engagement. Check for rubbing or pinching of the webbing under trim pieces.
- Use Proper Tools: Use correct sockets, torque wrench, and trim tools to avoid damage to mounting points and interior panels.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
- Wear And Abrasion: Repeated use, friction against edges or sharp objects, and contamination (dirt, oils) lead to frayed webbing and reduced performance.
- Retractor Malfunction: Dirt ingress, internal spring fatigue or locking mechanism failure can prevent proper retraction or locking.
- Pretensioner Deployment: Involved vehicles may have belts that are no longer serviceable after airbag system activation.
- Corrosion Of Anchor Points: Moisture and corrosion can weaken bolts and mounting hardware, affecting safety.
- Accident Damage: Impact forces can damage the belt, retractor, or pretensioner even if visible signs seem minor.

Notes For Mechanics And DIYers
This part is intended for rear right or left replacement. Verify the exact belt orientation (side behind driver or passenger) before fitting. Always replace damaged belts rather than attempting repairs to webbing or internal mechanisms. If the vehicle displays airbag or SRS warnings after replacement, consult diagnostic equipment and repair procedures to ensure the restraint system is fully functional.
