Checking sash guides

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2005 Porsche 911, 2004 Porsche 911, 2003 Porsche 911, 2002 Porsche 911, and 2001 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Plastic-coated covers show fine, parallel scores after the belt system has been subjected to stress (seat belt buckled during accident). On the other hand, wear caused by frequent use is indicated by a stripe-free, smooth surface.

Inspect the sash guides for distortion, flaking and crack formation.

In the case of scoring and/or damage, the entire seat belt and belt buckle must be replaced.
