Why New Belts Matter
Front belts in older Mercedes sedans can become slow to retract and lose color from sun through the windshield. A fresh pair restores smooth operation and a firm latch for both front riders.
Keeping Them Like New
Let the reels take up the straps without snapping back, and wash the webbing gently with lukewarm water and mild soap.
