It is a little over 5" from the roof line and just short of 3" from the cross bar. The problem I mentioned with gettign the bike on the roof is more of a techique problem. It is difficult to grab the bike and manuever it onto the roof while standing on the assist steps and holding on with the other hand. I am sure that it would be easier with practice but I have only had the chance to do it a couple of times so far.
