Checking guide fittings and latch plate

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 14 other vehicles, including the 2009 Audi S4, 2009 Audi A4, 2008 Audi S4, 2008 Audi RS 4, and 2008 Audi A4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If belt system has been subjected to load (seat belt fastened in an accident), plastic-coated fittings will reveal fine parallel score marks (in contrast, wear induced by frequent use can be seen from a smooth surface with no score marks).

Examine plastic for deformation, chipping and cracks.

In the event of score marks and/or damage, replace seat belt complete with buckle.
