I wonder what they cost? I'll price one out next time I am at the dealer. For what it costs to replace a seat belt, that money won't even get you in the door of a hospital.
I think if they are under $300 each I will replace the drivers side.

Explosive charges in the base? What do you mean by that? All I can think of is an exploding seatbelt, and that sounds like a Wile E. Coyote plan rather than a Mercedes safety feature!
My driver's side seatbelt was destroyed when I bought the car. The belt itself was frayed and the buckle was shot. My mechanic acquired a new one and put it in for $130, I think. I'm not sure where he got it but I'm sure it wasn't from the dealer.
