Running Boards

[Red Baron]

I have a 2025 RS with Gas Engine. Has anyone found a source for ones that act fit without requiring modifications to the vehicle?
There are lots advertised but many say they fit 2018 to 2025 and of course the body changed for 2025.
I tried ordering some months ago and canceled the order when the seller stated I would have to cut holes in the floor pan to fit what they sold. I'm in Canada.

As no one has responded I will pose this question a different way.
After buying our '25 RS, General Motors se t a "thank you" booklet to us in the mail.
In it was a picture of running boards on an Equinox .
I contacted the parts department and their comment was, "That must be a US only part."
I tried again to buy boards listed on Amazon said to fit '25 and '26 models and after numerous back and forth emails with the vendor, they finally said I would have to cut/alter my vehicle to make them fit so I again canceled the order.

Has any member found a source for running boards that fit without having to cut up the body?

My wife has a 2025 Equinox RS AWD, purchased new. I am not aware of a source for running boards.

I am curious - why would you want running boards for this vehicle? It is low enough to the ground that a step-up is not needed to enter or exit?

My wife is short with two bionic hips. I put a set on my 2018 and she used them getting both in and out.
They also prevent all the snow and slush from plastering itself down the lower part of the body.

I’m not short but have had total joint replacements of both knees and my right hip. I drive a Tahoe Premier with the fixed running boards - and they are a must to safely get in and out of the vehicle.

I’m in the Midwest and we had 16 inches of snow in one day last week, and now an additional 3-5 inches are forecast. All the cars are filthy and covered with salt. It’s been too cold to have them washed, as nighttime temperatures have been sub-zero for some time.

 

[Hey Vern!]

they are narrow, but these don't even require drilling...

Robot or human?

my wife hates the narrow boards on my 2018. She says they are too small to step on and dig into the back of her calf when she gets out.
