Hello, I'm trying to figure out if the defender will fit in my garage. My garage height clearance is 6' 10".

Does anyone know the height with air suspension being at the lowest and 19" wheels with off road tires? Also, what is the height of the clear sight mirror fin, 2-3 inches?

Thanks!

 

Normal height at top of rear camera is 77.6” so well below your garage height. Off road tires so not make much difference. Access height drops the car another 1.6 inches.

 

Drive straight in. No need to go to Access Height. As @TheMoke states, you can drop another 1.6" but the standard height should fit.

 

Thank you guys for the info!

 

How many more inches over the fin does the OEM rack add?

4.5” over the roof I believe but what’s the increase in the total height accounting for the rear fin.
Garage at my office is 80” clearance. It may not fit.

 

…or the garage isn’t really 6y’ 6”. Parking garage in downtown NOLA has a sign saying 6’6” max, my shark fin antenna hit the flex bar over the entrance as I was creeping in and got a little ding. Once lowered i was able to access all levels with a couple inches to spare (from top of antenna). But from the driver’s seat looks feels like it’s scrapping the roof.

 

To be honest, every time I think of taking my truck into a garage - I imagine pics like this. I guess I'm fortunate to have more than one vehicle because whenever I think I'm going to a "new" or unseen garage I drive a different vehicle. My "beater car" is a tricked out 2005 Mini Cooper S Convertible. I LOVE driving that in parking decks and have no problem finding a corner to tuck the thing into. If I want to go styling, I drive something else.

 

I went through an older garage years ago with my '95 90 NAS with the factory sunroof - basically a glass that tilted up - I went under a pipe that hit it, totally shattered. Went to the dealer got it replaced under warranty (didn't mention the pipe I was finding little cubes of safety glass for years afterwards.

 

Brings back the memory of when I hit a deer once with the first new car I ever owned (a Camry), car was just 3 months old, that would be my luck... it kicked the windshield which totally blew up into a million cubes. Collision shop never did get all of those things out of the vents. For years every time I'd turn on the vents a shard or two would fly out. Was glad to finally trade that thing in. Luckily I haven't hit any deer since then.

 

I was using a gas powered weed trimmer along the edge of my driveway and looked up to see the rear window on my Audi allroad missing. Inside were millions of tiny pieces of shattered safety glass. Looked like someone dumped a bucket of crushed ice into the back.
