is there a suggestion to how much i should cut off so i dont have to keep doing it and doing it

 

I put mine in the unlock position so they were as high as possible, then chopped them off as close to the door panel as possible. Then reinstalled the chrome stems and locked the doors. They sit just about flush in the locked position now. When unlocked, they sit in the same position that "locked" used to be.

 

I can't get those heffers off, scAred I'm going to brake something

 

The aren't 'threaded' like the old ones were back in the day. The look 'twisted' like those nails that are used to install "Hardy Board" on the outside of a house. Or if you have ever seen the cutting "bit" for a RotoZip. Roughly one full counter-clockwise turn and mine were off. Very steep pitch.
I covered mine with a piece of T-shirt material and grabbed it with a set of channel lock pliers. Barely left a mark.

 

Piece of leather and channel locks and it left no marks.......
