Car and Truck Seat Belt Parts

No matter what you drive, the seat belt is one of the most important safety features on the vehicle. If yours is broken or defective in any way, be sure to replace it as soon as you possibly can. You can find a wide selection of seat belt parts and search for what fits your make, model, and needs.

There are four parts in the assembly of the seat belt for your car and truck. The extender is the actual belt part that stretches across your body and holds you in place. The latch is the locking mechanism that anchors the end of the belt. The pretensioner is the segment of pulleys that allows you to adjust the tightness of the belt. Lastly, the clip is the plastic band that holds it in position. One or more of these elements might be broken, so make sure you get what you need to restore your own set to full functionality.

Anytime you are thinking about buying replacements for something that has broken in your car, such as a lap belt, retractor, buckle, shoulder strap, or three-point harness, you face a choice between getting the original equipment manufacturers version, also known as OEM, or an aftermarket version. The OEM is what your car came with when it rolled off the assembly line, and you know for sure that it will fit. An aftermarket version is simply made by a manufacturer other than the original equipment manufacturer. As long as the part specifies it will fit your car or truck, it should work. Aftermarket manufacturers also offer alternative color schemes, different features and materials, or other changes. Often, you can find these editions of a part if the original manufacturer goes out of business or stops producing for that vehicle.

It is sometimes possible to find car or truck parts that are refurbished, including seat belts and safety belts. This means they were used and then brought back to the shop for repairs to ensure that the parts meet factory standards. A good refurbished part will work just as well in an automobile as a new edition. In fact, refurbished parts are useful because they give you more options to choose from. When you need to replace a seat belt and get it back to full capacity, having a bigger selection will help you get that done faster.
