I still think there's quite a bit less clearance. The rack is definitely smaller on the 5th gen, regardless of the height. Look at where it starts and ends, for example. The rack doesn't even go over the driver's door at all, unlike the 4th gen. Plus the roof of the 5th gen looks quite a bit flatter than the 4th gen, which actually had a bit of a convex arc to it one end to the other.
