Has anybody located actual instructions? Need to know if there is a minimum length after cutting

The instructions do not indicate that there is a minimum size it can be cut to, they just instruct to cover the exposed edges of the trimmed pad in electrical tape. Hope this helps

These pads can be cut as short as you want - temperature sensor is located next to the cord, so don't cut that short :) Covering the cut edge is not a bad idea. You can also cut a slot or a rectangular opening across the pad as long as the two conductors at the sides are not damaged. How do I know? I'm an electrical engineer and work a lot on my cars.

Sorry, I can't say for sure. I read a post on Tacoma World that after researching this question, this person was told they could be cut to any length. They appear to be designed to be cut to any length, but thats just second hand information and my opinion. Good luck.

It takes a bit of fitting. It's been a while since I did this, but I seem to remember having to cut about 5/8 inch off so that the blade would keep tension at the bottom of the stroke. Cut it off in small increments and trial fit it until you get the right length. The "instructions" are not helpful here. I used a hand held diagonal cutter to shorten the blade.

I have a 2012 CRV and so far I haven't been able to find a video instruction on how to do this...seller says no instructions included, one answer says to cut another answer says not to cut...another says on the instructions it says where to cut...I would buy right now if I could get an install video...I really dont want to damage the car...

I don't know the exact total length, but it's at least that much. I had to cut a ton off when I got mine. You shouldn't have a problem.

It comes with installation instructions and everything you'll need to install it. I'm not sure the size you'll need to cut because we had a handy man install ours.

Yes. I cut it with a box cutter after it was installed, trimmed off the excess. It was not hard.

I cut the end after I adjusted it for size. I also felt I was wasting the product.. However, It does work well..

Outline the smaller radius the use a metal cutting circular saw blade. That's how I did it

The cut is determined by the cutting guard. the closest cut would be with out any guard.

Use a wire cutter. I use a pair of scissors at first but it left the ends frayed. Wire cutter

Yes but honestly practice is going to be needed before you get a straight cut. I believe a second person would make it a lot neater too. I've not taken the time to master this yet.

I'm sure you could go about cutting/welding yourself if you really needed to. I never ended up cutting the one down I received though; I instead chose a different use for it so I could utilize the space I received. I wouldn't recommend doing that; but I'm not saying it can't be done.

Yes, you cut it to the length you need. It comes with a plastic cap to cover up where you cut so it looks great. I just have a small hack saw and it took no time. A piece of advice is to measure the length with the cradle in place to get a perfect fit. We have been very happy with ours.

Hi, There are little markers on the strip that show you where it can be cut. The markers look like little scissors.

I would contact them directly with that question. I have not needed to try cutting it. The one I bought is 60". The Grizzley people I spoke to were very helpful.

Not sure of the length but mine is a little bit loose and does not cut well.

You actually guide the wire how you want it cut. I made a pattern, drew the pattern on the Styrofoam and didn't have any issues. Hope this helps. Just another tip...don't tighten down the wire too tight then try to force the cut. Speaking from experience!
