I have been there and done that. The BMR would not fit my car either. I went with the Lakewood DSL and it fits perfect and very adjustable. I have the BMR TA and FLPs. Good luck!!!

Thanks for the info. Think I'll give ol' BMR a call.

I had the same problem with the BMR loops on both of my cars. I cut out a 1" section out of the top of the loops with a chop saw. I squeezes the ends back together putting the loops in a vise and welded them back together. They fit with no clearance problems now.
