I have a question about the overall height of the tower when it’s folded down. When it’s folded, does it fall below the windshield line? I’m wanting to put it in my garage and I think I’m going to be a couple of inches off. I had The boat at home but didn’t get a chance to drop the tower before I took it back to the lake.
 
I don't have an exact measurement, but here's a photo of mine with the tower down. It does NOT go below the windsheild. In fact, it looks like it's probably 16-20 inches above the top of the windshield, but that's just eyeballing it.

That answers my question. I was under the impression it was even or below the windshield line. I’ll probably have to take it completely off. Thanks for checking
