I have bought a Mini Cooper S (2005), which have a damage in the front and the front airbags has deployed, but not the seat airbags. But I have a question about how I can see about the seat belt tensioner in the seats are deployed or not. If I take a look at them physical it do not seems that they are deployed, but I am not sure about that. Has anyone any idea how to check them.

 

I have taken photo of the seat belt tensioner, but how do I put it in here. My computer seems not not allow it. But my mail is ib@p-soerensen.dk if anyone wants to help me and have a look at the photo

 

My understanding of the system is that if the bags deploy the belt tensioners are activated also. About the only way I know how to see if they went off is to pull the belt all the way out of the lower assembly and see if you can detect any "damage" to the belt at the bottom/end of the belt.

 

Here are 2 photos of the seat.

 

Not sure how to tell if it has been set off, best to call the dealer
