They sent me the 4-door rack when I bought mine. I didn't want to have to send it back and wait another 2 weeks, so I made it fit. It's possible with the right tools, but not easy (Maybe worth the $110, though). all you need to do is get rid of the posts in the rear sockets that the rack connects to. The posts screw into the holes like you had on your 4-door. Just unscrew those posts and the pins fit in just like they are supposed to. There is one hard part, and that's how the posts are way longer than necessary. They ended up butting against the roof trim before they came all the way out. I had to cut them with bolt cutters after threading them out far enough that they were finger-tight. All told, each of the 4 posts came out in 2 pieces, and there was a lot of swearing. The rack fit fine, though, and is as secure as it ever could be.
