^^^^Yeah that's what I was thinking also. I think a couple people were going by what they remembered the measurements to be while I just walked outside and measured the damn thing.

BTW, measurements taken with the plastic opening/side covers removed so you can fit the enclosure through.

Well your measurement of the width between the tirewells was wrong [img]tongue.gif[/img] Unless of course the Cav and Sunfire have different trunk dimensions, which I suspect is not the case. You can stick the box in from the cabin sideways and then rotate it into place once it is past the angled sides of the opening to the trunk. However, even the Cav and Sunfire do have different trunk dimensions Dukk asked for Cav measurements I will get the exact measurements later tonight when I get home.

Actually, that's in a Cutlass.

and it took, the removal of the baffle, spare tire and some real ingenious shimming and hammering to get it in there.

I'm told it took an air shear to remove it
