W123 seat belt buckles...

Last night the seat belt buckle on my '81 240 refused to stay "clicked"...I think it may just be likely that no one ever considered that these devices would still need to work 22 years in the future..but does anyone know if they come apart or can be repaired? Thanks

I'd probably try some WD-40 or silicon lubricant down the hole before disassembling them.

Take off buckle and shake out any broken plastic bits if the WD40 thing fails. Send a pic of the belt end, I might have a buckle for it.

Got a red front passenger side buckle? Plastic has broken and it raddles like crazy. I never can find any red parts for this car, good thing the seats are like new. Dealer want's a $197 for the driverside sunvisor with vanity mirror. Thank God I only need one of those.

Sorry no red buckles. Didn't even think they had different colored buckles! I was looking for visors for my 300D too, 200+ for the visors with the doors on 'em. I can live without pretty visors :-) It's mostly the trim parts that are killing me too. probably just drive it into the ground, let somebody else restore it.

I've never seen another 123 in the Henna Red MB TEX interior or the Anthracite Gray Metalic for that matter.
