Tom899 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Hello, if anyone has the factory roof rack crossbar option, can you please measure how much height this adds to the 72" high roof? I have a Yakima cage that is 7" high, so with the 72" roof height, that leaves me 5" before I reach the 7' garage door height. Thanks, I appreciate it!

DonShockley Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) Here's a photo from my 2015 with factory rails. The ruler is bottomed out in the channel for this photo. I didn't have the cross bars between the rails installed, but measuring them seperately adds about 2-1/2" above the rail.

DonShockley Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I laid the crossbar in position (not tightened down) for this photo. Ruler still bottomed out in recessed area for rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom899 Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Thanks Don! With this information I think it will just clear my garage opening with the Yakima cargo cage installed. I will go ahead and order the factory crossbars when I place my Transit Connect order next week. Thanks again, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
