top rod will need to be shortened. If your opening is more, than an extension will be
required and adjustment may or may not be necessary.

84" minus 80" = 4" (shorten rod by 4")
88" minus 84" = 4" (you need a rod that is 4" longer)
In this case you will need a 6" rod extension, and you will need
to cut 2" off the bottom of the top rod (the end with the hole for
the roll pin). Rod extensions are always added to the top of
the rod where it meets the top chassis.
