Just traded my '06 Yellow H3 in for an '07 Black H3

Got Lux, Offroad, Sun roof same as old one, but didn't buy any of the accessories from the dealer... figured I could save myself some $$ and get exactly what I want.

One of the first priorities is something to go on the roof... I don't like the roof being naked, but I need to still fit in my garage.

The old one had the factory rails that cleared with no problem... the factory antenna barely clears, so nothing could stick up farther than that.

Are there any racks out there that would work???

If your factory antenna clears the garage, you should have no problem with any aftermarket rack (empty or unloaded rack of course).

You'll have to do the math but If I remember correctly the height of the 3 is 74 inches, I've got a wilderness sport rack thats 4 inches deep plus about 2 inches or less for mounting hardware. Love the rack but would go Gobi stealth rack if I did it again (got in a rush and was short on $$ so went cheaper wilderness) I believe the Gobi stealth is also 4 inches deep.
Good luck and congrats on the new ride:D

Same here, wish I would have gotten the Gobi Stealth also. Trying to talk the wife into taking the wilderness for her H3 and then I can get the GOBI!!!

This one's (http://estore.websitepros.com/1182800/Detail.bok?no=921) kind of spendy, but it doesn't need crossbars and claims to be only 3 inches off the roof!

Lowest clearance is to add extra loops to rails and skip rack using ties. Got 8 on my roof. Four on each rail. Works great low profile little air resistance:p
