Function
The component is the mounting bracket/retractor holder for the center rear seat belt. It secures the retractor mechanism to the vehicle body and ensures correct routing and locking of the belt webbing. A correctly fitted retractor mount maintains proper belt geometry and allows the retractor’s locking and emergency locking mechanisms to function reliably.
Compatibility
Fits Peugeot 308 (T7) models equipped with a middle rear seat in the second row. Search by product codes 96588041XX or 8975V0 to confirm fitment for specific body trims and interior configurations.
Replacement Procedure
- Disconnect the vehicle battery and wait at least 10 minutes before starting work to reduce risk when repairing parts associated with restraint systems.
- Remove interior trim panels around the rear-seat area to access the center retractor and its mounting points.
- Unbolt the retractor and mounting bracket, taking care to support the retractor assembly to avoid damage to the webbing and pretensioner (if fitted).
- Install the replacement mount and retractor in the original orientation. Tighten mounting bolts to the manufacturer’s torque specification (refer to the service manual).
- Refit trim panels and reconnect the battery. Verify belt operation: free movement of the webbing, locking on sharp pull, and correct stowage.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
- Accident deployment: Pretensioners or impact forces can damage the retractor or its mount, making replacement necessary after a collision.
- Wear and Contamination: Dirt, corrosion or trapped debris can cause the retractor to jam or the mount to corrode.
- Mechanical Damage: Improper handling, over-torqued fasteners, or damage during interior repairs can deform or break the bracket.
- Webbing Wear: While the mount itself may be intact, worn or frayed webbing often leads technicians to replace the entire retractor assembly, including the mount.
Installation Recommendations
- Always work with the battery disconnected and follow safety procedures for vehicle restraint systems.
- Use the correct tools and follow the Peugeot service manual for disassembly and torque values.
- Inspect adjacent anchorage points and surrounding bodywork for deformation or corrosion; repair as required before fitting the new mount.
- Do not reuse components that show signs of impact, pretensioner deployment, or significant wear—replace the entire assembly where safety is compromised.
- After installation, perform a functional check: belt extension/retraction, emergency locking, and proper stowage. If unsure, have the vehicle inspected by a trained technician.
