Multi-storey car parks
- Thread starter Rob
- Start date
This is one of the reasons i want to lower. I've no idea what height she'll come back from the converters once pop-top and roof rails are on, but one of my first jobs it to get the tape measure out. Couple of my regular parks (when in car) are 1.9om so I'll be kissing those goodbye for starters.
Yes its a Kombi DSG - I only say that as imagine gear box is presumably heavier and the seats add weight lol

I have had my T6 for about 3 weeks now and I loaded it up with a garage full of rubbish and set off to the dump, then saw the 2M barrier.... so I did what every bloke does, drove slowly like that would help... I didn't hear any scraping so all was good. I got home and checked the roof and it was fine. So now I know I can just about fit under a 2m barrier, great for those seaside trips where they stop motor-homes and caravans getting into.
hey g4jsg,
Just be careful thinking that, just because the barrier is there, it doesn't mean that it is set at 2 mtr.
When i was shopfitting, we spent every day driving in our vans to work in shopping centres, we were always close and while the sign would say 2 meters or what ever it was signed, it would be often set a little higher to reduce complaints. (also long as the signage and sprinkler systems were safe)
But some places, not all, do set the the height spot on, those are the ones to be worried about.
You're best of measuring from the highest point unloaded, I've been caught out before in shopping centres after dropping of cabinets and the rear of the van sits up a little higher on the way out.
But that wasn't an issue for me as it was a company van
As long as you weren't knocking off sprinkler heads it was all good.

Good luck
He was looking up checking the clearance..Without Sock Monkey adding to the weight you might not of made it
I went through a 2.1 meter car park in non-lowered van yesterday... felt so worried that I’m not going to bother again!
