Expert Reply:

The track on the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells # Y02-490B can be cut down to the size you need. But, the crossbars cannot be cut. That being said, you should not need to trim down the crossbars. It is also important to note that the wider slot on whichever end is trimmed will be gone, so installation and removal of the crossbars would need to be from the untrimmed edge.

You could also use the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Factory Tracks # Y02-490B-NT (59") with shorter tracks, Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks # RTC14 (55"). We also have shorter crossbars, Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Factory Tracks # Y02-480-NT (54").
