What height option should I choose?

How is the rack height measured?

Where does a rooftop tent sit on the 10-inch Mid height?
It depends on your tent. Closed tent heights vary, so compare your tent's closed height with the rack height you choose. The 7.5-inch Low rack sits lowest, the 10-inch Mid rack sits in between, and the 17.5-inch Tall rack sits highest.
