T6 Seatbelt Bolt Torque and Threadlock
Discussion
Hi,
I've had a T6 California (2017) since new and noticed the other day that one of the front seat belt buckle (bit with red button) was very loose. I've managed all the trim off and the bolt is close to coming out. I'm sure never been touched and seems odd that such a bolt can work loose. I guess maybe not fully tightened at the factory and if no threadlock applied it's vibrated loose over time.
Anyway, I guess given it's safety related I'm overthinking and considering if it should be torqued vs "tightened" with some blue threadlock applied? I can't find any guidance on torque for but seems like 40Nm is about right.
Anyone know?
