Default Gobi Stealth Rack Help

In the next few weeks I am going to ordering a roof rack, and hopefully it'll be the Gobi Stealth Rack. My only concern is garage clearance. Could anyone measure (perhaps with pictures) the front center of the windshield on the painted area to the top of the rack, middle center of the hard top, and rear center of the hard top? If so, it'd be greatly appreciated. I've heard it's 7" from the windshield to the top, but would love the lay eyes on that if possible.

I have the Gobi Ranger and that measurement at the area you ask is right at 8 inches.

After my RK 3.5 suspension install, I now can't get in the garage. Swapped out my Ranger light bar with my buddies Stealth light bar and it just got me in the garage. The new measurement from the area you ask was right at 6.5".

I've got a Stealth light bar ordered b/c I'm tired of leaving my rig out in the driveway!!

Thanks! That area is from the windshield, correct?

It's measured from the top of the windshield, directly behind the lightbar.

Here is where I measured on my Ranger lightbar:

Is the place where the tape in pressing on the same level as the hard top, or slightly elevated?

Best I can remember, it is the same level as the hard top. it is right there where the hard top meets the top of the windshield.

Excellent. I really appreciate your help, looks like I can get one of these Gobi racks then!

Any way you could post measurement pics after your stealth bar comes in?
