I am trying not to cut too much but its a real tight fit..

I found three ways to almost get the thing in... from the cabin from the trunk and jamming like hell from the wheel well.

How did you trial fit yours? I haven been able to get closer then moderately close/wedged...

Did mine from the wheel well. Just couldn't figure out how to get them in from the cabin/trunk side easily. Even from below it was a pain and I think the passenger side took a lot of cursing to get in and out. They kind of popped in place if I remember right then you could kind of move them around where they needed to be.

I think you are going about it the correct way, just keep trimming a bit until they just barely snap in. That should give you a nice tight fit.

It really can only go in from the bottom, I was fitting a set today. I always cut a little short and then trim to fit as know two cars are the same. I start with the front of the tub and work it back from there. I use small pry bars to work it back. Also you can mesure the opening and mesure the tub to how much more you have to go.

I agree... got the pass side in today... pretty happy with the fit... from the Bottom it was all the way... for future reference for anyone who might be doing this, put the front in from the bottom and basically roll it in front to back. if you do it right, it will be real tight and you will have to grind away little bits of metal an then it will pop right in...
