• Compare codes 96314387XX and 8973L7 with the original part.
• Check the condition of the belt – whether it is torn, damaged, hardened or excessively worn.
• Check the winding and locking mechanism to make sure it works smoothly and without stuttering.
• Inspect the connectors, mounts and mechanism body for deformation or mechanical damage.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• clean cloth
• work gloves

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the ignition.
2. Disconnect the battery and wait the appropriate amount of time according to normal service practice before further intervention.
3. Remove the necessary interior trim to gain access to the original belt and its attachment.
4. Carefully disconnect the electrical connector if included in the design.
5. Release the fastening points of the old belt and remove the part without force to avoid damage to the surrounding parts of the interior.
6. Compare the old and new part side by side – especially the shape of the brackets, the position of the holes, the connectors and the belt guide.
7. Place the used pyrobelt in place in the appropriate position and check that the belt is correctly routed without twisting.
8. Connect the connector, if present, making sure it is properly seated.
9. Fix all the mounting points one by one and check that the mechanism is tight and free of play.
10. Before reassembling the plastics, test the smooth extension and winding of the belt.
11. Reinstall the interior trim and verify that there is no friction or restriction of belt movement anywhere.
12. When finished, connect the battery and perform a basic function check.
• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
  • Verify smooth extension and self-winding of the belt.
  • Check that the belt locks properly during a quick jerk.
  • Check that the belt does not rub against the plastic or the post anywhere.
  • During normal driving, check that there is no rattling or knocking and that the mechanism remains firmly seated.
