Default hardtop dimensions

Hey all,
Can anyone provide the overall dimensions of the C3 hardtop across the widest point (across from rear of window openings) and total length (how tall it would be from the floor when up against a wall). I've got to fit one into a rental SUV and need to be sure it will fit.
Thanks in advance!

Max width is 52" just behind the doors at the front of the sail panels
Max length along center of the hardtop standing on the tips from the floor to front edge of the top is also 52"
Height is 15" when lying on the floor from tips of sail panels to highest point on roof which is the center of the rear window.
Would easily fit in the rear of my Expedition

Thank you! I'm going to get some random SUV so will have to measure twice.
