Default Retrofitting 2024 D90 Rear Lower Seat Cushions

I am picking up a '22 D90 V8 next week. The only discernable difference from a '24 appears to be the rear lower seat cushions. I wanted a YW model so a '23 and '24 were out of the question, not to mention a low mile CPO example made it an easy choice, especially with the savings from new MSRP. From a utility standpoint, the few extra inches in vertical height would go a long way for my use case for this vehicle.

I've looked at all the old threads, including the 3rd row retrofits and just pulling the lower cushion from its clips.

Now that there is a factory solution, I wanted to investigate what parts would be needed to retrofit a '24 rear lower seat cushion. I would imagine, at minimum, some brackets and the cushions themselves and hopefully the wiring harnesses for heat/occupancy are the same. Does anyone have access to the '24 parts diagram or have a '24 they're willing to partially disassemble to get some part numbers for us?

I bet this will be a popular retrofit, hoping there’s an easy way 🤞

Does anyone with a '24 want to share some part numbers?

Try this - it's not an e-commerce site but it's the JLR site in UK. It's not sorted by model year but by VIN, and you can sort of figure out the model year based on VIN range. (latest would be 2024 etc). I found it to be the best L663 parts diagrams online - https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.com/parts/index/hierarchy/id/33/brand/land-rover/\

I have the seat bottom part numbers but it's unclear how they are attached. There are obviously brackets that the seats pivot on and probably some other subtleties that aren't readily apparent in a parts diagram. I actually just sent a message to PowerfulUK to see if they can do a video on it the next time they get a '24 D90 in.

Did you ever get this figured out? Looking at purchasing a CPO 23 model,but must figure out how to get seats to fold flat for my 2 big dogs. Deal breaker if I can't get it to work. Thanks in advance for any insights/helpful tips.
