Mine has at least a one inch space above the dash, however removal of the dash is tricky. Look at the flahing picture to the left. Is yours installed on a car with T Tops like mine? Maybe that is the difference.

Probably depends on the brand. Mine is from a company that is not in business anymore. Kinda good to know in case I ever decide to sell-another strong point.
