    2017 Discovery Sd4 (240) HSE Farallon Black

    Boot floor sloping

    Never noticed till we put the big (full length of boot) dog cage in, but the boot floor slopes downward toward the rea of the car. No idea why anyone would design it like this. Why isn’t it flat ?

    Yes the row 3 seats are both fully retracted.

    AFAIK they fold on first press to a slight angle and then you have to press again for them to go flat Confused

    The boot DG. Only row 3 folded. I know row 2 are two stage. Row 3 are folded completely.

    Will take a photo later to show you what I mean. Don’t have a spirit level to hand as I forgot to pack one for my holidays Laughing

    If your like me you will end up lurking in a street somewhere while wife goes holiday shoe shopping. Use that time to buy a spirit level and/or some floor leveling compound. Or a trip to opticians!

    Cars level. Measured the top of the boot trim (cubby box). Boot floor (and cage) are -6 degrees slope towards rear. Just want to know this is normal or not. Taking the mats out the seats are all flat / flush so can’t see anything raised slightly.
