Volkswagen Car Seat Belts and Parts

Seat belts and buckles have been around since the late 1800s to keep occupants safe in case of an accident. They are required by law for every car, and Volkswagen vehicles are no exception. New designs for comfort and safety features are being created to improve the original design and make driving your Volkswagen safer every day.

How do you select the right replacement seat belt?

Seat belt sizes, seat belt types, and buckle types are all important factors when finding replacements for old or damaged seat belts. You will need to find the individual requirements for your Volkswagen. You will probably need either three-point seat belts or lap belts. Make sure the new seat belt will be the right size by measuring the one in your car at its fully expanded length. This would be a good time to consider whether or not you need a bit more slack in the belt. Check the type of buckle that you have as well as the belts attachment to the seat, whether it is floppy, attached by a cable, or sleeved.

What types of belts and buckles are available for Volkswagen?

You can buy three-point seat belts, lap belts, buckle replacements, seat belt guide replacements, seat belt buckle retractors, bolt cover caps, and even release cables. You can narrow down your search if youre looking for a specific seatbelt, like the front or backseat, left or drivers side, right or passengers side, or center.

When should you replace seat belts?

Experts suggest inspecting belts and buckles in your Volkswagen every 10 to 15 years and replacing if needed. The signs for the time to replace them are:

  • After a serious crash
  • If it is frayed, cut, or thinned
  • Signs of wear and tear from aging
  • Buckle or belt not working properly
  • Airbag light is on
What are the federal protection requirements for safety belt manufacturing?

The law requires safety belts to have certain capabilities and assemblies. All hardware for the assembly must be free from burrs and sharp edges and must have resistance to fraying, unraveling, light, corrosion, temperature, and microorganisms. A type 2 seatbelt, or a three-point seatbelt, must provide upper torso constraint as well as a pelvic restraint and be adjustable for anyone from the 5th percentile of adult female to the 95th percentile of adult male. It must include a rapid release system that minimizes accidental release. Every seatbelt is marked with the year of manufacture, model of seatbelt, and name of manufacturer.
