Soft Door Close Retrofit for Land Rover and Jaguar
LR-Retrofit supplies and fits complete Soft Door Close upgrades for Jaguar Land Rover vehicles. You gain motorised latch assistance that pulls each door fully closed with a gentle push. The system eliminates the need to slam doors and adds a refined, luxury feel to every entry and exit.
Product Overview
Our Soft Door Close retrofit brings genuine JLR soft close functionality to your existing doors. We use original equipment motorised latches, striker plates, wiring harnesses, and door control modules. The installation delivers the same quiet, controlled closing action as a factory-built vehicle with the Soft Door Close option.
You operate the system automatically through the existing door latches. The door closes normally until it reaches the secondary latch position, then the motor pulls it silently into the primary latch. No aftermarket switches or visible modifications appear anywhere in the vehicle.
What the Retrofit Includes
- Genuine JLR motorised soft close latches for all four doors
- Upgraded striker plates and alignment hardware
- Factory specification wiring harnesses and connectors
- Door control module updates where required
- Vehicle configuration file update
- Full latching calibration and functional testing
How the Soft Door Close System Works
The soft close system monitors each door latch position continuously. When you push a door gently, the latch reaches the secondary position first. A sensor detects this partial closure and sends a signal to the door control module. The module activates a motor inside the latch, which pulls the door smoothly into the primary closed position.
The system operates independently for each door, including the tailgate on vehicles with a powered tailgate. The closing force remains constant and gentle, protecting the door seals and preventing loud slamming. The vehicle network recognises the retrofit as original equipment and reports no diagnostic faults.
JLR Platform Compatibility
We supply Soft Door Close retrofits for Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar, Range Rover Evoque, Discovery, Discovery Sport, Jaguar F-Pace, XF, XE and I-Pace. Most vehicles from 2015 onward with compatible door modules and latch architecture qualify. Our team confirms your VIN and current door specification before you order.
Installation and Programming
LR-Retrofit technicians complete the installation at our workshop. We remove the door trims, replace the latches and strikers, and route the wiring harnesses through the factory conduits. We update the door control modules and vehicle configuration using JLR diagnostic equipment. After installation, we calibrate each door latch and run full open-close cycle tests to verify correct operation.
