Bentley New GT Door Trim Left Right 3SD867011E

For the Third Generation Bentley Continental GT and GTC (2018–Present), part number 3SD867011E identifies the Main Interior Door Trim Panel (Door Card).

Because Bentley interiors are entirely bespoke, this part number serves as the “skeleton” for the door assembly. The actual look of the panel is determined by a three-letter color and trim code that follows the part number.

1. Technical Specifications

The 3SD prefix confirms this is for the current generation (chassis code 3S).

• Position: Front Door (typically Left Hand / Driver Side for LHD vehicles).

• Construction: A multi-layered assembly comprising a structural composite backing, acoustic insulation, and hand-finished leather or Alcantara.

• Compatibility: Fits the Continental GT (Coupe) and GTC (Convertible) from 2018 through 2025. Note that the 2024+ “facelift” models still utilize this interior architecture, though trim patterns may vary.

2. Trim & Personalization Codes

You will almost always see a suffix after 3SD867011E. This defines the specific aesthetic of the panel:

• Leather Color: e.g., Beluga (Black), Linen (Cream), or Cricket Ball (Red).

• Quilting Pattern: Standard smooth leather vs. the Mulliner Driving Specification (Diamond-in-Diamond quilting).

• Veneer Interface: The panel includes the mounting points for the wood or technical finish (Piano Black, Dark Fiddleback Eucalyptus, or Carbon Fiber) which is usually a separate sub-component.

3. Key Integrated Components

When buying a “Complete” door trim under this part number, it typically includes or houses:

1. Mood Lighting: The integrated LED strips for ambient lighting.

2. Audio Grilles: Specifically designed for either the Bentley Signature Audio, Bang & Olufsen, or the Naim for Bentley system.

3. Switchgear Housing: Cutouts for the knurled metal window switches and seat memory controls.

4. Common Service Issues

• The “Bentley Creak”: Over time, the plastic clips (7L6868243) that hold the panel to the metal door skin can vibrate. Replacing these clips with the newer felt-lined versions usually solves the issue.

• Leather Shrinkage: If the vehicle is kept in high-heat environments without UV tinting, the leather near the window rail can shrink and pull away from the structural board.
