Parking Garage trauma

[DrippinRaptor]

This is the main reason I leave the stock antenna on the Raptor. Rather have an ugly antenna than a damaged roof.

I highly doubt that there is a company our there making carbon fibre replacement panels for the roof of F150s. I expect that if you really want it you will have to get someone to do it custom for you. You'd also likely need to lose your sunroof and replace the headliner, I've never seen a carbon roof with a sunroof before.

Good thread documenting the procedure on an E46 BMW M3:

Hope no one put more air in your tires while you were parked..

As long as the garage has the stated number somewhere at entrance, Id assume they are covered.

^this is one reason I regret not running my stock antenna... Also recently learned our oem antennas double as a spare door key when you lock yours in your running truck

Althought if the lower hanging pipe/flange was on the drivers side only, the antenna isn't gonna help...

Went to a parking garage once and that picture of Nick's truck and the clearance is about how many was. Hit the antenna on everything but luckily didn't hit anything. Pucker factor times eleventy.

What was the clearance listed?

What was the clearance listed?

Ahh. Can't remember. I think 6'8". Stock tires/suspension on mid-perch.

One of the reasons I haven't gone mid-perch are the parking garages in DC. It's difficult to find garages here that have clearance of at least 6.5 feet.
