Antenna height

RE: Antenna height
Mine fits in my UK garage tightly nose to tail with plenty of space above when door is fully open
but the garage door misses my large rear wing by just 1 inch when closing. The picture below isof the stock spoiler before I fitted the large wing. I even marked the outline of the rear on the wall before I bought the car to test it for size with the door closing.
My Outie has to touch the wall at the frontotherwise it's good bye large rear wing

RE: Antenna height
Thanks to everyone for the replies. I'm guessing that it won't clear the garage opening (75") based on the comments. If that's true the then I will have to keep it folded down (assuming that the XLS ant can be folded). This is my wife's car and she's not going to be folding it and unfolding it. So, the question comes down to does anybody know how that will affect reception (Sirius too)?

RE: Antenna height
I think you really need to take the actual vehicle home and check the antenna. I have an early model LS and my antenna swings forward and back so I can put it where ever I want. I know theres 2 versions of antennas on the Outlanders one is stationary at something like a 90* angle or whatever that is.
Also every garage is different. At my house alone I have 3 single wide garage doors and one double wide.
The original single garage door I could get the truck in width wise barely but the door was too low. The added on single garage right next to the original is wide enough and tall enough.
Then when I went to put the truck in the barn to make room for the outie the single door on the barn is not wide enough for the truck but is plenty tall enough. Then to make matters even more stupid there is a support pole 16 ft back from the double wide opening, fine for a car but not long enough for a 21 ft long truck. I ended up parking it sideways on the double wide side which makes it a pain to work around but hey it finally fit.
