Kia Sorento XM Mk2 2010-2012 Rear Centre Seat Belt Buckle Receiver Stalk 5DR

Important: Do not purchase solely because one of the catalogue numbers above appears in an internet search. Match the number printed on your original component wherever possible, together with the buckle shape, anchor, webbing and seat configuration.

These pictures show the Kia Sorento XM 5-door generation referred to in this listing. They are reference examples only and are not photographs of the donor vehicle.

This buckle is positioned at the second-row centre seating position. It receives the centre passenger's seat-belt tongue. It is not the complete retracting belt assembly and it is not the outer left or outer right buckle.

• Your required buckle is the rear-left outer buckle.
• Your required buckle is the rear-right outer buckle.
• You require a third-row seat-belt buckle.
• Your original buckle has a different latch-mouth shape or keying.
• Your original has a different webbing length or webbing colour.
• Your original mounting anchor/bracket or mounting-hole arrangement differs.
• Your original has an electrical connector but the pictured item does not match it.
• Your original is from a different Sorento generation.
• Your 2013–2014 XM has one of the later alternative 5-seat/7-seat buckle assemblies.
• You are relying only on registration year without comparing the original part.

• Seat-belt tongue will not positively click or lock into the buckle.
• Belt requires repeated insertion, movement or excessive force to latch.
• Release button sticks, jams or does not return correctly.
• Buckle will not release normally when the red button is pressed.
• Cracked or badly damaged buckle housing.
• Damaged, cut, frayed or contaminated buckle webbing.
• Bent, distorted or damaged mounting anchor.
• Excessive movement or looseness at the buckle mounting point.
• Seat-belt warning behaviour may be affected on vehicles equipped with an electrical buckle switch; this pictured item should not be assumed to provide that function unless the connector specification matches.

Seat-belt components are not an ideal place to gamble on an anonymous universal copy. A correctly matched original factory-fit component is designed around the vehicle's mating tongue, buckle geometry, webbing routing and mounting arrangement.

Recycled/pre-owned vehicle parts can also offer substantial savings against purchasing a new replacement. On selected automotive components, savings can be as much as 70% compared with a new-part price; the actual saving naturally depends on the individual component and current new replacement cost.

Typical Tools Required

• Suitable socket and ratchet for the vehicle's buckle-anchor fastener
• Torque wrench
• Plastic trim-removal tools
• Small torch/work light
• Protective gloves
• Vehicle-specific workshop information for the correct tightening specification

General Fitting Procedure

1. Park safely, switch the vehicle off and gain access to the second-row centre buckle mounting area.
2. Move/fold the rear seat and remove only the trim or seat-cushion sections necessary to expose the buckle anchor.
3. Before removal, photograph the original buckle orientation, webbing routing and anchor position.
4. Compare the replacement against the removed component: latch opening, housing, webbing length, mounting bracket and connector status.
5. Remove the original buckle mounting fastener using the correct tool.
6. Position the replacement in the identical orientation with the webbing flat and untwisted.
7. Refit the mounting fastener and tighten to the correct Kia workshop specification for the exact vehicle/VIN.
8. Do not guess a safety-restraint torque figure.
9. Reassemble seat/trim components and confirm nothing traps or twists the webbing.
10. Insert and release the mating belt tongue several times, then perform a firm manual pull test to confirm positive retention.

THE PART PILOT carries more than 25,000 automotive parts in stock and on the shelf at any one time. Our aim is simple: identify the right component, provide clear photographs and fitment information, and help customers order correctly first time.

• UK and international delivery options are shown by eBay according to the live postage settings and the buyer's delivery destination.
• International availability varies by country, item category and the delivery services currently offered at checkout.
• Please rely on the delivery options and price actually displayed by eBay at checkout rather than assuming every country is available.
• Check your delivery address carefully before completing checkout. We can only dispatch using the address attached to the eBay order.
• If an address is incorrect, contact us immediately through eBay Messages; cancellation and re-ordering may be required rather than manually changing the shipping address.

This listing provides extensive fitment information because we want the correct part to be ordered first time. Please complete the visual checks above before installation.

• Current listing return period: 30 days.
• Please return components in the condition in which they were supplied.
• Do not install, modify, cut, paint or damage a part merely to test whether it fits.
• Returns and any permitted deduction for a change in condition are handled under the applicable eBay return rules and listing terms.
• Where eBay permits an eligible seller to make a deduction for an item returned in a different condition, any deduction relates to the actual loss in value rather than an automatic fitment penalty.

Before fitting any pre-owned restraint component, visually inspect the complete buckle, webbing and mounting point.

• Do not install if webbing is cut, badly frayed, burnt or chemically damaged.
• Do not install if the anchor is bent, cracked or heavily corroded.
• Do not install if the buckle housing is structurally broken.
• Do not install if the matching tongue does not latch positively.
• Do not use a restraint component known to have suffered damaging crash loading.
• After installation, confirm repeated secure latch and release operation.
• Use the correct vehicle-specific mounting/torque information.
