Genuine Bentley Interior Locking Bar Mechanism 3D5867468

Product Overview

The Genuine Bentley Interior Locking Bar Mechanism 3D5867468 is the original locking bar for your Bentley Continental, also described in Volkswagen Group parts data as a locking tongue. It is the small moving bar that engages its catch to hold a panel or compartment closed, and it is listed in factory-based parts data for the Continental GT, Continental GTC, Continental Flying Spur, Flying Spur and Supersports ranges. When the original bar wears, bends or loses its spring tension, the catch it serves can rattle, sit loose or fail to hold, so renewing the bar with the genuine part restores a positive, factory-feel closure. The bar is handed to no engine or trim variant: it is a body and interior hardware part, matched by its full part number 3D5 867 468 and confirmed against your VIN.

Part Numbers & Reference Codes

OE part number: 3D5867468, also written 3D5 867 468 in Volkswagen Group format. Factory-based listings describe this number as LOCKING BAR (Eurospares, Flying Spares) and as a locking tongue (oemVWshop, Genuine Bentley parts). The same number also appears as a locking catch in used-parts listings. Always order and verify by the full number together with your VIN, because locking hardware differs between Continental generations and between the compartments and panels it serves.

Vehicle Compatibility & Fitment

Volkswagen Group parts data lists 3D5867468 for the Bentley Continental family across two generations: Continental GT (3W) 2004 – 2010, Continental Flying Spur (3W) 2005 – 2013, Continental GTC (3W) 2007 – 2011, Continental Supersports (3W) 2009 – 2013, Continental GT (39) 2012 – 2017, Continental GTC (39) 2012 – 2018, Continental GT3-R (39) 2015, Flying Spur (4W) 2014 – 2019, and Supersports and Supersports Convertible (39) 2017 – 2018. The full researched table is in the Fitment Details tab. Because the same bar can serve more than one closure on these cars, confirm the exact position and fitment with your VIN before ordering.

Key Features & Benefits

• Genuine Bentley locking bar: the original locking tongue, made to the factory specification for the Continental closures it serves.
• Positive closure: a new bar engages its catch cleanly, ending the rattle and looseness of a worn or bent original.
• Two Continental generations: listed in parts data for both the 3W cars and the later 39 and 4W cars, matched by VIN.
• Factory profile: the bar is formed to the original shape, so it locates in its housing and meets the catch at the correct angle.
• Small part, proper fix: renewing the bar itself avoids replacing a complete panel or compartment assembly for a hardware fault.

Technical Specifications

Installation Position & Fitment Notes

This locking bar installs in the closure it serves on the Continental models listed, where it moves to engage the mating catch. Access normally requires the surrounding trim or panel to be released with care so clips and finished surfaces are not marked. Before fitting, compare the new bar with the one removed from the car, check the catch and housing for wear or damage, and confirm the bar travels freely through its full movement. After fitting, operate the closure several times to confirm the bar engages and releases cleanly. Fitment and position should be confirmed by VIN before ordering.

Product Brand, Type & Condition

Brand: Bentley. Type: locking bar, also described as a locking tongue. Condition: brand-new genuine OEM part, supplied exactly as the factory produces it. The mating catch, housing and surrounding trim are separate parts and are not part of this listing.

Installation Requirements
