Add the genuine Land Rover powered tailgate to your vehicle. LR-Retrofit fits the electric struts, programmes the tailgate control module and validates the complete opening system to your VIN.
What is the Powered Tailgate?
The powered tailgate opens and closes your boot automatically. You press the interior button, the remote key or the button on the tailgate itself. The system uses electric struts that move the tailgate smoothly between the closed and open positions. It includes pinch protection that stops the movement when it detects an obstacle. The powered tailgate makes loading and unloading easier, especially when your hands are full.
Why Retrofitting the Powered Tailgate with LR-Retrofit Makes Sense
- Genuine Land Rover parts: We supply the correct electric struts, control module and wiring terminals for your VIN.
- Factory-level programming: Our technicians update the tailgate control module and Car Configuration File using JLR diagnostic equipment.
- Full remote integration: The tailgate responds to the existing remote key and interior switch.
- Safety validated: We test the pinch protection, obstacle detection and speed control before we return your vehicle.
- Permanent upgrade: The system stays active after software updates and needs no additional aftermarket modules.
Compatible Land Rover Models
We retrofit the powered tailgate to Land Rover models that originally offered the feature. We confirm exact compatibility from your VIN before you book.
- Range Rover L405 (2013 onwards)

Some vehicles require a small additional wiring harness between the tailgate and the Body Control Module. We identify this during the free VIN check and include it in your fixed quotation.
How We Complete the Retrofit

- Parts preparation: We order the genuine electric struts, brackets and any required harness terminals.
- Hardware installation: Our technicians fit the electric struts and route the wiring through the correct factory grommets.
- Module programming: We update the tailgate control module and enable the powered function in the Car Configuration File.
- Calibration and validation: We set the opening height, test the pinch protection and confirm the remote, interior and tailgate buttons operate correctly.
