Front Seat Belt Buckle (Right) for BYD Seal 05 DM-i, OE 12097569-00

This is the front buckle on the right of the car, with sides read as you sit in the seat facing the windscreen. Its opposite number is a separate listing with its own OE number, so the two should never be ordered interchangeably. The reference to look for on the old stalk is 12097569-00 or HAD-5811040. If your car is a Seal 05 DM-i and the old part carries neither of those, work through the fitment table on this page before you decide anything.

Possibly. This buckle is identified as OE 12097569-00 with HAD-5811040 as an alternative reference for the same buckle, and a match on either is a match. If the number you have is neither, do not assume the parts are equivalent because they look alike from the outside. Put the number and the build details into the quote route on this page and it will be checked before you order. Keep the old part until the new one has been set beside it.

Yes. This buckle is flagged safety critical because it forms part of the restraint system in the car. A qualified technician with the manufacturer's procedure for your model is the right person to remove and refit it, and to confirm the result afterwards. What arrives from us is a New part supplied to OE 12097569-00. Everything about how it goes back into the car is the workshop's call, so get the booking in place before the box is delivered.

The delivery time is 8 to 25 days, from order to door. The packaging details are shown on this page. If the left hand buckle is coming out of the same car at the same time, order both before the car goes in, so a single workshop visit covers the pair. The shipping cost for your country is shown on this page and confirmed at checkout before you pay.

The material is metal and the condition is New. For the buyer that means a solid buckle body rather than a moulded one, which is a fair check against the item taken off the car. Allow 8 to 25 days for delivery, counted from your order to your door. Check the reference against 12097569-00 or HAD-5811040 rather than judging by the metal alone, since a similar body may belong to the other side.

None. Black is the colour supplied, and the buckle is finished in it, so there is no preparation or paintwork on your side. It sits inside the cabin, where that colour is what you will see once the seat is back together. If the interior of your own car is trimmed in another shade, check the model in the fitment table before ordering, because a different trim can carry a different reference. Ask through the quote route on this page if the old label has worn away.

Because only the Original/Genuine buckle from BYD is offered for this OE number. No aftermarket equivalent has been sourced, so there is nothing to place beside it and the price on this page is the only one. Parts that do have a second source show both tiers together on the page, which makes the single entry here easy to read. This buckle is also flagged safety critical. If an alternative source would help you, ask through the quote route on this page quoting 12097569-00.
