This original-style seat belt lock bracket (part number 8976Q8) is designed for straightforward replacement on first-generation Peugeot 3008 and 5008 vehicles. Built to restore secure buckle mounting and reliable seat belt operation, the bracket is a practical spare for workshops and DIY mechanics carrying out interior or safety repairs. Buyers commonly search by the product code 8976Q8 — include the code when ordering to speed up identification.

Function

The bracket secures the seat belt buckle to the vehicle body and positions the buckle switch (if fitted) so that the restraint system can detect belt engagement. A correctly mounted bracket ensures the buckle latches and releases smoothly and maintains the structural integrity of the seat belt anchorage under load.

How To Replace

• Prepare Work Area: Park on a flat surface, engage the parking brake and disable vehicle ignition.
• Safety First: Disconnect the battery and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended safety interval before working near pyrotechnic pretensioners or occupant safety systems.
• Trim Removal: Carefully remove interior trim panels and seat trim covering the buckle area to access the mount bolts.
• Disconnect Wiring: If the buckle has a sensor connector, unplug it and inspect the connector for corrosion or damage.
• Unbolt Bracket: Remove the mounting bolts holding the bracket to the body and take out the old bracket.
• Install New Bracket: Fit the replacement bracket in the correct orientation, reconnect any wiring, and secure with bolts tightened to the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specification.
• Reassembly And Test: Refit trim panels and check buckle engagement/release and sensor operation. Verify there is no play in the mount and that the buckle seats properly.

Why This Part Most Often Fails

• Collision Damage: Brackets and anchorage points are frequently deformed or cracked in impacts and must be replaced after accidents.
• Corrosion And Fatigue: Moisture ingress or long-term wear can corrode metal parts or cause plastic components to become brittle.
• Mechanical Wear Or Impact: Repeated stress, improper handling, or forceful unbuckling can damage the bracket or mounting hardware.
• Connector Or Sensor Issues: In cases with a buckle switch, wiring damage or connector corrosion can mimic bracket faults.

Recommended Installation

Use OEM-quality fasteners and replace any damaged bolts or seat belt anchorage hardware. Tighten mounting bolts to the manufacturer’s specified torque and, if required, renew single-use fasteners. Inspect adjacent anchor points, seat structure and wiring during replacement. If the vehicle has pretensioners or airbag systems, follow all safety procedures and manufacturer guidance when disconnecting and reconnecting the battery.

Fitment And Replacement

Replacement of the rear center seat belt is straightforward for a trained technician. Typical steps include removing interior trim panels to access the belt retractor and lower anchorage, unbolting the mounting points, and routing the new webbing into the same path as the original. If the belt assembly includes an electrical connector (e.g. for a buckle sensor or pretensioner), disconnect it carefully and reconnect when installing the new unit.

Installation Recommendations

• Always disconnect the vehicle battery before working on safety systems to prevent accidental pretensioner deployment and to avoid electrical damage.
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommended removal and installation sequence and torque values for anchorage bolts. If unsure, consult official workshop documentation for correct torque settings.
• Inspect surrounding anchor points, mounting hardware and trim for corrosion or damage and replace any compromised components.
• After installation, check the belt for smooth extraction and retraction and verify that the locking mechanism engages correctly under a sharp tug.

Common Failure Modes

Seat belts most commonly fail due to webbing wear (fraying, cuts, contamination), retractor failure (mechanical jamming or loss of spring tension), or damage to anchorage points from corrosion or impact. Contaminants such as dirt, liquids or chemical spills can degrade the webbing or cause the inertia locking mechanism to stick. After a collision, belts and their pretensioners should be inspected and typically replaced if they have been loaded.
