Tailgate opening height

[Giller]

A comment in another thread got me thinking so doing some research.

High! I'm a short bloke and even I hit my head with the medium setting.

Not having got my S6 yet I'd be interested to know what height floor to upper most part of tailgate measurements are for each of the positions? Think floor to avoiding hitting a low multi-storey carpark roof... TIA

I was also about to, but it's pi**ing down with rain atm, so happy if someone else do it!

Right. Measurments are from the rear metal on the tail gate opening to top of the rear light bar, they are approximate but will give you the idea.

High: 136 cm
Medium: 105cm
Low: 86 cm

With low its pretty much roof height of the car.

Measures from ground to underside of bootlid.

Middle and low are pretty pointless imo. Middle should be lowest and mid should be about 180 cm imo.

Good stuff, but as Brucie had a Tricoat coming you'll need to add a couple of microns for the extra paint.

White does look rather good, got some full body shots?
