Default 2012 EX-L height with crossbars

What is the height of the 2012 Honda Pilot EX-L with the OEM crossbars? I’m trying to figure out if the OEM crossbars + a Yakima Fat Cat 6 ski rack will be too tall for my garage.

Thanks

FWIW
2012 Touring with the roof rails is 72.4 inches in height per its specs. The OEM cross bars arc up slighlty towards the center but mount inside the rails.
Per Yakima specs Height = 5.25" including Universal Mounting Hardware = 3.75" from top of Crossbar to Top of Mount closed. Up to 5" max with thick skis.

... based upon the specs only the clearance needed: ....72.4+3.75=76.15 inches with an empty rack. ...
Most standard 7 foot garage doors allow about 82 inch clearance.

Thanks RSQ Pilot!

The height ended up being 77" with the OEM crossbars + a Yakima Fat Cat 6 ski rack. The cross bars were about an inch taller than I thought they would be. But it looks good and fits in the garage at home and at work (work garage is 78")
