Yeah, height. Fixed. Thanks—those are the same word in Finnish, and I hadn’t consciously realized that they’re different in English until now. (Well, technically there is a separate word for height in Finnish, but it isn’t used in this context.)
Well, technically you could use length in English too. People are just three dimensional objects after all. I mean, once you knock them off and are trying to fit the body in the trunk you definitely worry about the length!

Just FYI, the joke in wedrif’s comment is that “length” would probably be interpreted as “penis length” by most readers.
That… never occurred to me.
