    Vehicle Height

    Just sharing this in case someone else finds it helpful.

    I pulled out the tape measure and plank to measure the actual height of my D5 HSE.MY19 with roof rails.
    The on screen vehicle dimensions show 188cm for access height and 193cm for normal ride height.

    My actual measurements for top of rails above the ‘C’ pillar and on top of the antenna.

    Access height roof rails 1815mm and top of antenna 1840mm

    Normal ride height roof rails 1855mm and top of antenna 1880mm

    Now time to work out what roof racks I want.

    Hi Gavin, I have Thule roof bars and an awning attached to the passenger side. Car parks that indicate a max 2.1m hight are ok still with the suspension at normal ride height, however the car park under Thornleigh Woollies is too low now they put a hanging bar in front of it at 1.9m, even in access mode. Not sure what hit the bar but I would think it was the awning (no damage though, the bar is hanging from chains). Before they put that bar up I could get in fine, with suspension at normal height.

    Cool thanks Ron.

    I’m still leaning towards front runner slim line 2 with the bolt on feet then put an oztent foxwing v2 on the passenger.
    Just need to bring on the tax return Very Happy

    Just as an FYI
    spoke with the Aus local sales manager from Front Runner.
    The front runner slimline 2 rack with the bolt on feet adds 106mm combined to the top of the roof rails.

    There are an increasing number of height barrier appearing in France that exclude `discos.

    This one at the Louvre Gallery in Lens. Fortunately I google earthed the location (before making the 1 hour drive), as I was told there was limited street parking and to use their carpark......1.8m height barrier.

    Wow 1.8m is low

    You’d be getting a sore neck walking through that car park if you’re 5’11 or over
