Default 2008 CLK 350 Front seat Buckle

Hey guys, I’m looking to find a 2008 CLK350 front seat belt buckle. I decided to run over a dead moose; well part of it and well, long and short of it, my car saved me! Doing the diagnostics, it appears the SRS system has faulted and the seat belt buckle needs replacing.
Does anyone here have any ideas on where to get one? I’ve been scouring the internet and not winning.
Preferably in Canada to locate one in good working order!
Any help appreciated.
I have the rest of the parts, I need just this.

I had one in a 2005 model that wouldn't stay latched. I sourced a clean used one from eBay and that was five years ago. Still working. Either see if they are available from the dealer, source a used one, or consult a reference manual to see which other seat belt buckles cross to that car.

Default Thanks

Thanks but this failure was caused by the SRS system going off and saving me in the process. The airbag light/srs is on and this has been narrowed down to the culprit. I hit the dead moose in the dark. No warning and had I have swerved I would have been in a head on collision.
I have one coming from the US and hopefully it gets here this week. There are interchanges out there. For anyone wanting to know them I’ve attached the list I found. I cannot source the dealer OEM part.


I miss my Lady M. She’s been down for 10 months sourcing parts. I unfortunately could only find a non AMG bumper cover at this point. That’s okay. I’ll change it over to a new one down the road.

I'm confused. Do you need the buckle or do you need the belt tensioner that went off during the impact?

Default The Buckle

My mechanic diagnosed it as the SRS light was coming on and it’s the buckle.
The buckle has a connector and I guess this is what can happen once the SRS system kicks in.
