Where is this part fitted & What does it do?
This seat belt lock (or buckle receiver) is mounted on the Right Rear (Offside Rear) passenger seat assembly. It anchors to the vehicle's structural floorpan or lower seat frame. It safely secures the seat belt latch and ensures the passenger is restrained during transit.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Unit:
- Seat belt tongue will not click into the buckle securely.
