Move them as far forward as they will go. Mine saved me from dinging the front rocker panel because I had them mounted forward like that. I also put a strip of 3M grip tape on them as a step, since they will be slippery when they are wet or muddy. Kids in the back need to be VERY careful of that big opening for the kick-out, if they slip getting in or out, they could get injured if their leg sticks in that space. I opted for the rear half cover, that is optional, for that reason.
