FoldAway-5™ Multi-Rack Folding 1 or 2 Kayak, SUP, Canoe Carrier

Question:

Hi, I want to buy this but I have a possible garage door clearance issue. This description shows the following dimensions folded. Folded: 19-1/2inch x 8-1/2inch x 3-1/2 Are you sure the max height-pointinch from the top of the crossbar is 3 1/2? It doesnt look to be true by looking at the picture. My concern is the max height-Pointinch from the top of the crossbar and the highest point while folded. My SUV with the Crossbar is close to hitting. Need to know the max the carrier adds to it. Thank You,

I have a great solution for the measurement problem. Unfortunately, both eTrailer and Malone do not currently have the Malone FoldAway-5 Kayak, SUP, and Canoe Carrier with Tie Downs - J-Style - Folding - Side Loading # MAL38FR. Although, we do have the measurement for an alternate carrier. I confirmed with my contact at Yakima that the JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # Y04073, there is about 4-1/2 inches of height when folded.
