The hardest part is finding that damn tab to get the plastic out.

It took me forever to find it.

There is a do it yourself in the DIY forum.

it's not the about physical length .. it won't make it look shorter.. it might be a couple of mm shorter. but that's not the point.

like someone else said.. feel the difference in someones car and you will buy it ht next day. i did.
