I measured mine and it appears to be exactly 7'. It's an L400, LWB with a 3" lift, 31" tires and the rear spoiler.

protecting interior from rough cargo

I would appreciate some ideas about how to avoid ripping the interior padded vinyl while loading/carrying anything that is difficult to lash down or "bubble wrap." My previous van, a plymouth voyageur was easier to load up without damaging my investment.

Another question is how to plug the holes after removing the seats. Now with the rainy season upon us, I am getting steamy windows from moisture. I know the doorseals aren't as ideal as I would want because the vehicle is 10 years+. Anyone had trouble with melted snow dripping in the back hatch?

Not really sure if you're talking about an L400 and measurements :-D

As for plugging the holes after removing the seats. That's simple. Put the bolts back in.

If you have snow coming in the rear hatch, open it, adjust the hatch (top two latches) and the locking latch (bottom hatch pin) until it's a tight fit.

depends, if he is indeed talking about an L400, then perhaps he is talking about the floor latch holes... in which case putting bolts in won't work too well...
