Mercedes-Benz Passenger A16786091029051 Seat Belt Buckle

Description

The Seat Belt Buckle is a safety component that securely locks occupants in Mercedes-Benz Passenger vehicles. It is used in the seat belt system of the vehicle’s interior, ensuring a robust and reliable locking mechanism during motion. With a compact size of 100 × 100 × 190 mm, this buckle, manufactured in Mexico, offers ease of installation and long‑term durability.

Key Features & Benefits

It basically does one thing—securely latches onto the tongue of the seat belt to hold you safely in your seat. Sounds simple, right? But inside, there’s a little mechanism with a spring – loaded pawl that engages. That pawl locks when the belt is pulled tight and releases when you press the release button. Some buckles also have sensors that work with your car’s airbag system, telling it when the belt is fastened. It’s a key part of your car’s passive safety system. Everything works together—the belt webbing, the buckle, the anchors—to spread the force of a collision across your chest and hips, preventing you from hitting the interior of the car or being ejected. It’s designed to work with the seatbelt webbing and the retractor mechanism to keep you contained and protected.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, it’s safety, plain and simple. Without a functioning buckle, your seat belt isn't doing its job. You’ll notice if it’s not latching properly, or if it feels loose, or if the release button is sticky. Even a small problem can mean the buckle won't hold during a crash, which is obviously a serious concern. A damaged or worn buckle is a safety risk, and should be replaced. You can find a good replacement at places like Fixparts Online, they usually have a wide range of options. It’s a relatively inexpensive part, and definitely worth keeping in good working order for your safety and the safety of your passengers.
