Second Hand Volkswagen Crafter Bonnet Latch

The first-generation Crafter (2006–2016) shares the same front-end structure throughout its run, so a latch from a 2007 van is broadly from the same generation as a 2012 van and fitment is generally consistent within this generation. However, confirm the exact part number with the breaker against your registration before buying, as minor running changes can occur across a production run. Never assume fitment without that check.

Yes, the Crafter underwent a full model change in 2017, with an entirely new platform and redesigned front end, so the bonnet latch from the first generation (2006–2016) is not interchangeable with the second generation (2017-onwards). Always source a latch that matches your van's generation, and quote your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the correct part.

No — the bonnet latch is part of the front-end structure, which is shared across all wheelbase lengths (L2, L3, L4) and roof heights (low, medium, high) within a given Crafter generation. You only need to match the generation of your van, not its body length or roof style. Quote your registration to the breaker to be sure, but these factors should not affect the latch itself.

The CR30 and CR35 designations refer to gross vehicle weight ratings, not to different front-end structures, so the bonnet latch is the same across these variants within the same generation. Focus on matching the generation (pre-2017 or 2017-onwards) rather than the weight variant. Confirm with the breaker against your registration as a final check.

The bonnet latch sits on the front end, which is structurally common across the different body configurations within a Crafter generation, so the body style of the donor vehicle should not affect fitment of the latch itself. What matters is that the donor and your van are from the same generation. Confirm this with the breaker using your registration before purchasing.

Both a 2019 and a 2022 Crafter fall within the second generation (2017-onwards), so fitment is broadly consistent between these years as the front-end structure remains the same across this generation. There are no known major facelift changes to the bonnet latch area within the second generation at the time of writing, but always confirm with the breaker against your specific registration to rule out any running production changes.
