Folks,

My 2025 Turbo has a plastic clip only on the front passenger seat that you can position to hold or position the seat belt buckle from falling to the bottom of the seat belt. However, there is no such plastic clip on the driver's side seat belt. This causes the seat belt buckle to fall to the bottom until it hits the plastic stopper. I have noticed that I struggle to buckle up because I have to dig down below the seat cushion to find the seat belt buckle.

Have a look at the pictures and comment if your Macan EV has a clip on both front seat belts.

I bought a second one from Suncoast parts. It was USD$10 though.

I also posted these earlier in the week:

From the Owners Manual:

This needs to be adjusted also as shown, in addition to having the clip, or it will continue to bang against the pillar.

I got 5 round pin stoppers from Amazon for $5 https://a.co/d/ga081xQ
It needs a little extra effort to install compared to the part shared above and it is harder to move after the installation but it works just fine for me.

This has been confirmed several times on the forum already so no poll needed. Only passenger side has it. Hope this helps

Btw sorry if this sounded rude and was not my intent! Not sure why Porsche only included one side but apparently that’s what they do

After a little bit of digging around here and with my Porsche dealership, I found the official response to my question.

There is only one "Seat Belt Buckle Positioning Clamp" and it is installed on the front passenger side to prevent the seat belt buckle from tapping onto the door pillar.

When I took the pictures I attached to this thread, I moved the positioning clamp only to very rapidly find out it's usefulness when I was driving the Macan: the open passenger seat belt buckle kept hitting the "B" pillar plastic coverings.

Since the vehicle driver is required to buckle up their seat belt, there is no requirement to have such a positioning clamp on the driver's side. It's quite logical. However, it would help make the retrieval of the buckle easier.

Voilà !
