I used to have a 2002 Range Rover Vogue which JUST fitted in my garage when in access mode.

I then moved to a RR Sport and then to the dark side with an X5

However I want to return to FFRR but the new models have the Shark Fin antenna which makes the height even in access mode just too high to get under my garage door.

I don't really want to have to replace my garage door ... so does anyone know of any options to remove the antenna and replace with something flush?

I am looking at a 2007 Vogue.

In all probability no.

it must be very tight as the sharksfin is not that big... 06MY 4.4 V8 Autobiography Cairns Blue with Navy & Parchment Interior

The shark fin is for the GPS..? Just wondering..

But the IID tool could lower ur access mode more for u, can someone confirm if access mode is adjustable or is it generally set at the lowest level the ffrr can go?

My access is 15mm below normal .... however once on the stops....it's on the stops? Land Rover Addict

correct me if im wrong... but the fin is just a plastic gps antenna
thats bolted to the roof
... so whats to stop you fabricating it.... I.E...... grind it down
and touch it up with a bit of spray paint....

A bit extreme I know, but if I couldn't get the fin sorted to allow access, I'd be cutting bits out the garage floor near the door to make a drop, so it clears.

You could have a metal grate thing over it when the cars not going in and out.

I know its extreme, but I'd look at it.

You may well not want to hack your house about, and again, this may only work if its just got to clear the door......

Thanks ... I understand there is a later model antenna which is lower so I am going to check the height with that.

Can't really hack the garage door but may have to replace!

the later fin is lower then the first one...how much room do you have  V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

You could always let the tyres down

The info that I can find suggests:

Height:

73.3 in (1,862 mm) (2002–2005)
74.9 in (1,902 mm) (2006–2009)
73.9 in (1,877 mm) (2010–present)

My 2003 did fit.

Looks like the 2010 model is 25mm lower I am guessing the difference is the shark fin?

With my garage door open I have 1850 clearance!

02-05....dont have any fins/antenna..... so you would be screwed either way with only 1850 clearence...

Strangely ..... from a different forum ...
