I don't supose they have 66" ones, huh? How much would you have trimmed? As
much as 12"? A lot could depend on where they are mounted. Mine are pretty
far back. If I remember the rationale, it was the only spot I could get to
underneath, there were no obstructions for the washers, the spot was the
same for both passenger and driver's sides, and I didn't have to put more
holes in the carpet (which also means I don't have to remove them to remove
the carpet.) Might be a good idea to locate the mounting spot and measure
before ordering.
