buckles, mounting hardware, retractors, tether straps, and anchors for proper installation, operation, or damage. Replace any belt that is cut,
frayed, or torn. Straighten any belt that is twisted. Tighten any loose fasteners. Replace any belt that has a damaged or ineffective buckle or
retractor. Replace any belt that has a bent or damaged latch plate or anchor plate. Replace any child restraint anchor or the unit to which the
anchor is integral that has been bent or damaged. Never attempt to repair a seat belt or child restraint component. Always replace damaged or
ineffective seat belt and child restraint components with the correct, new and unused replacement parts listed in the DaimlerChrysler

NOTE: The right side of the rear center seat belt and retractor mounting bracket and the unique, keyed center seat belt lower anchor
buckle/right outboard occupant buckle unit are secured to the rear floor by a common screw, but the lower anchor buckle and the right
outboard occupant buckle can be removed from the mounting bracket and are serviced separately from the seat belt and retractor. The center
