Product Overview
High-quality rear seat belt assemblies (left and right) designed for Peugeot 307 hatchback and Citroën C4 (3- and 5-door). These belts are commonly sought by professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts under the product codes 96567808XX and 8974JK. The assembly includes the retractor, webbing and buckle interface for direct replacement of the factory-fitted rear belts.
Key Functions
- Primary Purpose: Protect occupants by restraining movement during collision or sudden deceleration.
- Components: Webbing, Retractor (with locking mechanism), Buckle/Latch, Upper Anchor and Lower Anchor points.
- Safety Features: In vehicles equipped with pretensioners, the belt system is integrated with the vehicle safety restraint system to reduce slack during impact.

Installation Recommendations
- Safety First: Before starting work, disconnect the vehicle battery and wait the manufacturer-recommended time when dealing with systems that may include pretensioners or pyrotechnic devices.
- Remove Interior Trim: Carefully remove the B‑pillar trim and any covers concealing the upper anchorage and retractor.
- Unbolt Anchors: Unscrew lower anchor and upper anchor bolts. Keep original bolt sizes and replace any damaged fasteners.
- Retractor Removal: Release the retractor from its mounting, taking care not to twist or damage the webbing.
- Refitting: Fit the new assembly in the correct orientation, torque anchor bolts to manufacturer specifications and ensure the webbing retracts and extends smoothly without rubbing.
- Function Check: Verify buckle engagement, webbing locking (pull test) and full travel of the retractor. If the vehicle is equipped with a pretensioner, follow manufacturer procedures for handling and replacement—pretensioners that have deployed must be replaced.
- Final Steps: Refit trims ensuring no pinching of the webbing and perform a visual inspection of anchor points for corrosion or damage.
Why The Part Most Often Fails
- Wear And Abrasion: Repeated use can fray or weaken the webbing, impairing its integrity.
- Contamination: Dirt, sand or spilled liquids can clog the retractor mechanism and reduce smooth operation.
- Pretensioner Deployment: In collisions the pretensioner activates and the belt assembly must be replaced afterwards.
- Mechanical Damage: Impact, improper use or tensioner failure can lock or jam the retractor.
- Corrosion: Moisture and rust at anchor points or mounting bolts can compromise fixation strength.
Fitment & Compatibility Notes

Tips For Mechanics And DIYers
- Use Correct Tools: Torx or torque-wrench as required by the vehicle manufacturer to achieve correct bolt torque.
- Inspect Related Parts: Check buckles, anchor plates and B‑pillar trims for damage when replacing the belt.
- Replace In Pairs If Needed: If one rear belt is damaged by an accident or contamination, inspect and consider replacing the opposite side for consistent performance.
Additional Information
This product is aimed at professional fitters and experienced DIY mechanics. When in doubt about pretensioner handling or if airbags/pyrotechnic devices are present, follow manufacturer safety procedures.
