How to Replace the Seatbelt on a Ford Focus

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Accessory kit

First, release the bonnet using the lever and lift it to disconnect the plugs connected to the battery. This prevents any unpleasant issues since the seatbelt system is connected to the airbag system. Now, proceed to remove the bolt securing the lower part of the seatbelt. Using a lever screwdriver, lift the panel where the seatbelt comes out. By removing the bolts securing the seatbelt system, you can also remove the central part of the panel, disconnect the clips, and unscrew the last bolt.
