Installation recommendations

For this part, the exact replacement procedure may vary depending on the specific design of the seat and the interior of the car. Below is a general procedure typically used to replace a seat belt lock holder.

1) Before assembly

• Check whether the part shape, attachment, orientation, lead or holder length and overall design match the old piece.
• Compare product numbers 9687393180 and 8975SY if they are legible on the original part.
• Inspect the used part for cracks, deformation, excessive wear or damaged attachment points.
• Check the condition of the surrounding parts of the seat and the fastening, so that the new part is not mounted in an already damaged seat.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• A common set of hand tools
• Tools for removing interior plastic covers
• Degreaser and rag cleaner
• Work lighting
• Protective gloves

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Park the vehicle on level ground and secure it against movement.
2. Create enough space around the seat, or move the seat to a suitable position to access the fastening.
3. Carefully remove interior or seat covers that prevent access to the holder.
4. Locate the attachment of the original safety belt lock holder and check its condition.
5. Dismantle the old part so as not to damage the surrounding upholstery, plastic parts or attachment points.
6. Compare the original and the new part side by side, especially the orientation, angle of attachment and design of the holder.
7. Clean the contact surfaces and the surroundings of the installation site from dirt.
8. Place the used part in the correct position and carefully align its attachment.
9. Fix the part in a manner consistent with the vehicle’s original assembly.
10. Check that the part does not move, is not twisted and sits naturally in the mounting position after tightening.
11. Reinstall all covers and removed interior parts.
12. Test the insertion and release of the safety belt buckle and verify smooth operation.
• 4) Post-assembly checks and function verification
  • Verify that the belt buckle correctly receives the buckle and holds it securely.
  • Check that unlocking works smoothly and without stuttering.
  • Check the stability of the attachment during normal handling of the seat and belt.
  • After installation, check that nothing rubs against the upholstery or interior plastic parts.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Exchanging part design – always compare the numbers and shape with the old part before assembly.
  • Damage to plastics or upholstery – use appropriate tools and proceed with caution.
  • Underestimating the function check – always try securing and releasing the buckle several times after assembly.
  • Mounting on a damaged attachment – if the problem is in the surrounding seating of the seat, replacing the holder alone may not solve the problem.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Mechanical wear during long-term daily use.
  • Rough handling when fastening and unfastening the safety belt.
  • Damage during seat removal or interior repairs.
  • Shock load in the event of an accident or sudden stress.
  • Material fatigue, cracking of plastic parts or deformation of the attachment.
