Bentley Bentayga Tailgate 36A827241
Genuine Bentley Bentayga Tailgate / Trunk Lid (Pre-Facelift)
Part Number Series: 36A827241 (Often associated with the internal structural assembly or shell)
The 36A827241 corresponds to the rear tailgate (trunk lid) structure for the First Generation (2016–2020) Bentley Bentayga. This part is a core structural component of the rear liftgate, designed to provide a lightweight yet rigid foundation for the vehicle’s “jewelled” 3D tail lamps and iconic “B” winged emblem.
Technical Specifications

-
Placement: Rear Exterior (Tailgate/Trunk/Liftgate).

Key Features & Design
-
Flush Integration: Designed to house the wide, wrap-around LED tail lights that characterize the first-generation Bentayga.
-
Hands-Free Operation: Features reinforced internal mounting points for the Power Boot Lid Motors (
4M0827851C/4M0827852A) and the soft-close latching mechanism. -
Electronics Housing: Includes specialized channels for the rear-view camera wiring, license plate illumination, and the central “B” release button.
Common Reasons for Replacement
-
Structural Damage: Due to the complex “superformed” nature of Bentley body panels, creases from rear-end collisions are often difficult to repair and require a full shell replacement to maintain factory shut-lines.
-
Motor Failure Issues: While the lid itself is a shell, failure of the internal mounting points for the heavy-duty tailgate struts can lead to misalignment.
-
Water Ingress: If seals around the rear badge or lighting fail, internal corrosion can occur within the tailgate’s cavity.
Comparison: Pre-Facelift (36A) vs. Facelift (2021+)
It is critical to note that the 36A series tailgate is not compatible with the 2021+ facelifted models.
