Roof 17 7/8"
Trunk 18 3/8

FWIW, save your money on any glide on fluid or otherwise. I used it on the trunk stripe and it took a good 45 mins to get all of the gel out from under the stripe. I watched several videos on Youtube and the pros use about a teaspoon full of baby shampoo with water in a large spray bottle. Using that, the roof and hood took about 15 mins and came out much better so save the $20.

The border on my stripe was not perfect. I simply used an exacto knife and drywall square while the stipe was on the table and cut it straight. Simple, easy and no hassle.

It is sitting in the sun today to bake out any of the remaining bubbles. Once I dumped the gel, the hardest part was folding the stripe over the rear spoiler where it meeds the trunk lid. I ended up using a heat gun on that and it was all good.
