Most vehicle manufacturers are very particular about most of their components, but when it comes to supplemental restraint systems (SRSs), such as air bags, pretensioners, and so on, they are most particular. While it has been some time since I’ve worked for Mercedes, they were most particular about SRS components. Any damage to the SRS wiring that was more than 100mm from a connector required replacing the entire SRS harness for the vehicle. Any SRS components that are open, shorted, or faulty in any manner required replacement. No repairs were allowed or recommended. It seems that your only choice is buying a new belt mechanism.
