Putter

You really just need to shorten the factory ones.

1) Remove your existing chrome stems (cover with rag, then grip with pliers, vice-grips, etc)
2) Put you locks in the "unlock" position.
3) Use Dremel or other cutting device to cut the rod.
4) Replace chrome stem.

Mine are now just about flush when locked.

**One note: Once you cut them, you can not manually unlock them because there is nothing to grab onto.
I shortened my rear ones some, but left enough to grip....just in case.

Doctor Who

I went with the dorman because I didn't like the chrome ones. it took a little time to get them cut just right. I didn't shorten the rear ones at all, so if I need to open a door from the inside with no power, I could.

Doctor Who -

Are the dorman stubbies a simple 'remove the old chrome ones' and 'install the black ones.'..... Or did you have to cut the rod ?

I cut the rod & re-installed the stockers..

cost = $ 0.00

time about 15 minutes..

Doctor Who

I cut the new dormans down a little and ended up using a small drill bit to drill up inside the black one so the rod would go in deep enough and be the right height when down.

Do the stock ones thread off or are they just a press fit kind of thing?

Oldblue

press fit , simple to remove wrap with tape or rag and grip gentley with pliers twist a little while you pull up.
