I have an Xterra and have the same problem here in Honolulu. The high point on the roof rack is 6'3". I've run into several parking garages in the 6'0"- 6'2" range. Mine is stock too. In one garage we can go up to the 4th floor, but any higher and it scrapes. When we go into town to a place I don't know I always drive my wife's car just in case.

Our big shopping mall here had to close down half of their main parking garage entrance for several weeks because someone drove a tall vehicle in and nailed a support beam. It apparently took quite a while to fix it.

I wonder how the costs worked on that. Did the person in the tall vehicle have to pay for it? Does insurance cover damage to a multi-story parking garage from wedging your SUV in it?

I debated on installing one on one of my ATV's at one point for deeper creek crossings, but ultimately decided against it. I get into enough trouble on these things without something like that.

djyou get something bought?

Not yet bud, the weekend got crazy so I didn't make it up there yet. I'm going to go take a look on Tuesday when the mechanics are there and I can have them rack it for me.

So it sounds like I should find somebody else to put the snorkel on my BMW.

That would indeed be one of a kind. :D

In my case I had a 2007 Ram 2500 that just barely fit in my old garage that had 6’6” clearance. I then bought a new version of the same truck, but the new one has satellite radio. Well, the little satellite antenna dingus sticks up above the roof just a little bit. So the new truck is just under 6’ 6 7/8” so I was just barely too tall thanks to that stupid antenna! That’s when I realized how many of the garages around were too short. I don’t park in a lot of garages, but am always paranoid about going into new ones. You never know how well they measured. I like to play safe and allow a few inches for error. I don’t want to be the guy with the truck wedged in the parking garage!

Certainly don't want to wedge your dingus.

You hit it you own it unless they had a sign saying the height was taller than it really is.

Taking out a support beam in a parking garage? Must have been pushing it?. We did that in the 80's in midtown KC Noise was deafening.

You wouldn't be the first person to notch a "v" into the header. ROFLROFLROFL

Maybe you would:hmmm::hmmm:

ROFLROFL youve just done it all...

You have never seen how fast you could get from the roof/ basement to the exit in a parking garage in the early morning without sideswiping a wall or support?
You have missed some of the best fun you can have in a car.

Just like 50 pct of truck/SUV drivers are women and none of them are using their 4X4.
