WHERE IT FITS & WHAT IT CONTROLS
The assembly mounts beneath the rear seat cushion and provides the latch points for the rear right-hand passenger belt and the rear centre passenger belt.
| REAR LEFT PASSENGER |
REAR CENTRE BUCKLE IN THIS ASSEMBLY |
REAR RIGHT BUCKLE IN THIS ASSEMBLY |
Its job is to securely retain the belt tongue and release it only when the red button is pressed. Because this is a safety-critical restraint component, it must latch positively, release correctly and remain securely bolted to the vehicle structure.
COMMON FAULT SYMPTOMS
- Belt tongue will not insert or latch.
- Buckle releases without a firm button press.
- Red release button sticks, feels loose or fails to return.
- Internal latch feels rough, intermittent or jammed.
- Cracked or damaged buckle casing.
- Bent, loose or corroded mounting bracket.
- Excessive movement or rattling from beneath the rear seat.
- Buckle contaminated by liquid, debris or foreign objects.
WHY CHOOSE A MATCHING FACTORY-SPECIFICATION PART?
- Correct receiver geometry for the original belt tongue.
- Correct mounting bracket shape, hole position and seat clearance.
- Designed for the vehicle's original rear-seat layout.
- Avoids the unknown fit, latch feel and bracket alignment of low-cost universal copies.
- Reusing a correctly matched part can provide substantial savings compared with buying a new replacement; actual savings vary by supplier and availability.
FITTING GUIDE, TOOLS & ESTIMATED TIME
Typical tools: protective gloves, trim-removal tool, suitable metric socket and ratchet, extension bar, inspection lamp and a calibrated torque wrench. Confirm the actual fastener size before starting.
- Park securely, switch off the ignition, remove the key and prevent the vehicle from moving.
- Move front seats forward and remove personal items from the rear footwell.
- Release and lift the rear seat cushion using the correct clip locations; do not force or damage the cushion retainers.
- Photograph the original buckle routing and bracket orientation before removal.
- Remove the buckle mounting fastener with the correct socket. Inspect the bolt, threads and floor mounting point for corrosion or damage.
- Install the replacement in exactly the same orientation. Ensure the buckle stalks are not twisted, trapped or rubbing against seat-frame edges.
- Tighten the fastener to the MG workshop-manual specification with a calibrated torque wrench, refit the seat cushion and confirm all seat retainers engage.
- Test both receivers repeatedly with the correct belt tongues. Each must latch positively and release only when its red button is pressed.
Estimated workshop time: approximately 20-45 minutes for a straightforward replacement, excluding diagnosis, seized fasteners, damaged seat clips or corrosion repairs.
Fitting service: available subject to workshop capacity, vehicle inspection and prior arrangement through eBay Messages.
