XC90 Roofbox Height Clearance - Under 2.1m?
I have recently bought an XC90 SE LUX ('63 Plate) and am busy getting it ready for a skiing trip, as I've done many times before with my beloved V70 SE.
Trouble is the Clearance Height when adding a roofbox into the mix. I purchased a Thule Spirit 780 roofbox many years ago and it's provided good service over those years. It's a slimline roofbox and a max height of 330mm. The XC90 has a height of 1784mm AFAIK which includes the roof rails. The roof bars I have (came with teh XC90) are Thule Wingbars Edge bars with 7204 feet. So they are as low as possible AFAIK. The trouble is with the XC90, Bars and Thule Pririt 780 roof box the unladen height is an estimate of 2114mm; which is 14mm greater than my garage estimate (might have to take the internal handle off the door) and also the maximum height of a couple of underground garages I've used on previous trips abroad. So my question is, are there any height-reducing possibilities other than:
Any other ideas or your experience with roof boxes is welcome
