Tear in Seatbelt

Last night I was securing a chilseat on my coupe's rear right seat, and one of the guides used for securing the seat poked through the seatbelt and made a tear on it! It's about 3mm long, but if I keep pulling on it, it gets longer. What do you think my chances are of MB replacing the seatbelt under warranty? I know that Honda and other manufacturers have lifetime warranties on seatbelts, regardless of the nature of the damage.

You have nothing to lose by talking to the dealer.

They will absolutely replace the seatbelt under warrenty. I'm on my fourth seatbelt. MB takes safety seriously.

No worries.

Deb,

What has been happening that you're on your fourth seatbelt? No accidents, I hope.
