think my garage door may be a bit low. May have to get the sedan then. Will measure tonight. |

mmm... begs the question as to why would you drive into or out of the garage with the boot/hatch open? Just wondering why that would affect your choice of vehicle.

Then do as I have done and fit a buffer pad (large enough to cover the odd inch or two in parking difference) to the inside opf the garage door. I have used a length of wood bolted to the floor to set my drive in distance.
Works for me anyway.

you can always put a strap on the door frame to limit how far it goes up. You could even go as far as having one of the struts shortened, strut repair/regas shop should be able to do it without much trouble.

Might be cheaper to change the garage door to a roller type.
