The rack sits less than 3.5" above the hard top at its highest point. We designed it this way to allow for as much overhead clearance as possible.

As promised, here are a few pictures of the rack from the top. You can see how we kept it as low as possible for maximum clearance. Also, all light tabs are welded on horizontally to keep from hitting anything overhead.

I thought the same but I just went out and measured it personally and it is less than 3.5" from the top to the highest point on the rack. Our designers were really trying to keep it close.

Our initial prototype we have tested up to 350lbs without any issues. With the redesign and the adjustable center section we are going to hopefully rate it up to 300lbs. I just want everyone to know, because this is in the late development stage, and we are taking pre orders, if anyone is not happy with the final result we will be no means hold you to the purchase.
We want everyone to be totally satisfied with the product they are purchasing.

You are right in thinking that I would like it to extend to the windshield. I do not really take the panels off of the front without taking all of them off altogether. Most other roof racks currently on the market that extend the full length do allow for the front panels to remove. Your designers would not have a problem figuring this out I am sure given the thought and design cleverness that was utililized in your current design. The top down pics really show how truely impressive the design is. Would your company consider a full version in the future? Thanks again!
This is something we will look into, but we would like to finish producing our current rack before we move to something like this.
This is an excellent idea and something we have been thinking about as well.
Thank you.
