What is an OEM seat belt for the Jeep Liberty?

The term "OEM" is an abbreviation in the car industry that stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Jeep and other car brands contract out the construction of many different design elements, including seat belts. The company that makes each part is considered the OEM for that model year and part. OEM parts are straight from the original source, making them exact replacements of the factory-new version. A non-OEM, or aftermarket, product may have different characteristics and design in anything from small cosmetic alterations to major function changes. The most significant changes in a seat belt on a Jeep would be a racing harness for the driver. However, the ability to add LATCH system straps and buckles or shoulder straps to center seats would be other options to consider.

What are the main seat belt parts?

The four main parts of a seat belt each have their own role to play. The extender is the woven belt that crosses your body and holds it in place. The pre-tensioner is the pulley over your shoulder that anchors the extender to the inner wall of the vehicle. The latch is the other endpoint of the extender, the plastic and metal part that you click the metal tip into to secure it. The clip is the hard plastic loop around the extender that you can use to adjust its length. An advanced racing harness might use a five-point design that has five different sets of belts, pre-tensioners, and clips equally spaced around the seat that join over your center of mass. This provides extra security at high speeds.

Does placement in the car matter?

Yes. Front belt sets often have different length and construction from rear ones because the front row almost always uses bucket seats while rear rows can be bench seating. Rear units might also need to be able to accommodate a child-safe seat or other modifications. This difference varies from year to year, so when looking for parts it is important to get the position and the year correct. You can find both kits and individual parts.
