Default Anyone Measure??

OK, now that I have your attention, does anyone know what the clearance is when the roof is at max. height when raising/lowering? I ask because I have yet to raise/lower the roof in my new garage and the clearance looks tight because the SC sits right under the door opener mechanism (band type LiftMaster).
Thanks

70 inches...give or take one or two depending on wheel size and suspension alterations. The ceiling in my garage is only 8 feet and the liftmaster hangs down a foot off the ceiling. Everything clears with plenty of room on my SC with 18 inch wheels and nothing lowered.

I open and close mine in the garage without any problem under my garage doors and opener.

Thanks for the info. My garage ceiling is only 8 feet and that LiftMaster with all the fixings hangs pretty low but sounds like I will clear without any problem. Actually here in DC/Maryland area today it has warmed up enough to go top down.

I was so nervous the first time I open the top inside the garage. All went well though and have been doing it ever since!!!

Shouldn't be a problem with any standard garage door. Heck I have even opened the top in the garage with the door up over head and let it there so I could clean the rear window. Had plenty of room. My garage is the standard height of a garage, I believe.
