Product Overview
Our retrofit adds genuine JLR electric drive components to your existing internal rear folding board. We install original equipment motors, hinges, control switches, and factory wiring. The result matches a vehicle built with the power-operated loadspace floor from the factory.
You control the board through the existing boot area switch, the remote key fob, or the driver’s seat control where supported. The board folds and unfolds smoothly with motor assistance. No aftermarket controllers or visible modifications appear anywhere in the vehicle.
What the Retrofit Includes
- Genuine JLR electric motor assembly for the folding board
- Reinforced hinges and mounting brackets
- Factory specification wiring harnesses and connectors
- Boot area control switch
- Body control module configuration update
- Vehicle settings activation for key fob and remote operation
- Full functional testing of open and close cycles
How the Electric Folding Board Works
The electric drive system replaces the manual hinges with a motorised mechanism. When you press the boot switch or the key fob button, the body control module sends a signal to the motor. The board then folds up or down smoothly and quietly. The system includes obstacle detection to stop and reverse if something blocks the movement.
The board position remains adjustable. You can stop the motion at any point by pressing the switch again. The system integrates with the existing vehicle locking and tailgate functions, so the board folds automatically when you lock the vehicle where configured. The driver information display shows the board status where supported.
JLR Platform Compatibility
We supply electric rear folding board retrofits for Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar, Discovery, and Discovery Sport. Most vehicles from 2015 onward with a rear loadspace floor or folding board qualify. Our team confirms your VIN and current boot configuration before you order.
Installation and Programming
LR-Retrofit technicians complete the installation at our workshop. We remove the manual hinges, fit the electric motor assembly and reinforced brackets, and route the wiring through the original body conduits. We then install the boot switch and update the body control module using JLR diagnostic equipment. After programming, we run full open and close cycle tests to verify smooth operation and obstacle detection.
