Probably because of the "distraction factor" - is where you mounted the sliding tracks. If they are on the sides, approximately how far down from the top are they?

I'm thinking of mounting the tracks just inside of the rub rail, so I may have to go higher than 36 inches. I assume I can always cut it down if I went for the 40 - 46 inch height. My rough measurements came out at 40 inches above the hull/deck joint.

I am probably obsessing too much over the height, but when you're 6 feet tall every inch of headroom makes a difference.
