OEM-grade genuine soft door close retrofit for Land Rover and Jaguar. Add automatic door cinching with factory latch actuators and switch integration.
Product Overview
LR Retrofit supplies a complete genuine soft door close retrofit for Land Rover and Jaguar vehicles. This upgrade adds automatic door cinching to all four doors and the tailgate where applicable. You close the door gently until it meets the latch, and the system pulls it fully closed. The feature brings a premium, effortless feel to every entry and exit.
We use only genuine JLR soft close latch assemblies and actuators. The parts match the factory specification exactly. The wiring integrates with the existing door control modules. No aftermarket components remain visible. The result is a factory-fitted soft close experience that works seamlessly with your vehicle’s locking system.
Key Features
- Genuine JLR soft close latch assemblies for all doors
- Automatic cinching from half-latch to full-latch position
- Integrated with factory central locking and alarm
- Child safety lock compatibility maintained
- Whisper-quiet actuator operation
- Plug-and-play wiring with vehicle-specific connectors
- No permanent modification to door structure or trim
- Tailgate soft close available where supported
You simply push the door until the first click. The actuator pulls the door closed the rest of the way. The system works even on slight inclines where gravity would normally prevent a full closure. You never slam a door again.
Performance Benefits
The soft door close feature reduces cabin noise and wear on door seals. You close the doors with minimal effort, which your passengers appreciate. The system prevents the door from bouncing back open, a common issue with heavy JLR doors. You gain a quieter, more refined cabin and a longer service life for the latch mechanisms.

Installation and Coding Support
We recommend professional installation. LR Retrofit supplies the complete hardware kit with latch assemblies, actuators, wiring looms, and mounting hardware. Our technical team provides remote coding support through JLR diagnostic tools. You update the Car Configuration File to activate the soft door close function. This enables the feature in the door control modules.
The installation follows the factory method. You replace the original door latches with the soft close units. The actuators mount inside the door cavity. The wiring routes along the existing door harness. All connectors use factory pin-outs. No cutting or splicing of the vehicle harness is necessary.
Technical Note
The soft door close system communicates over the JLR CAN bus. The door control module monitors the latch position and activates the actuator when the door reaches the half-latch state. The system checks for obstacles and reverses if necessary. LR Retrofit supplies the correct coding parameters for your model. The soft close function integrates with the central locking and alarm system without affecting existing features.
