🚗 Retractable Ball Parking Aid - Genie Yellow Perfect Stop Compatible with All Garage Door Openers-GPS-R, one Size Review

I have a wooden ceiling. To set it up to fall up and down with the garage door would require drilling two holes in the ceiling and one hole in the top of the metal door, all in a straight line, and then measuring the rope to fall down the best place to hit my SUV's windshield. Ba is nonsense. I tied a rope to the top lamp, which happened to be in just the right spot. I rarely work in my garage when the car isn't there, and a dangling ball of light doesn't get in the way of anything I want to…

This is a tennis ball on a rope with metal grommets that allow us to attach the rope to the garage door in such a way that the ball only slides down when the garage door is open. If we are following the instructions correctly, we should start by determining the first eyelet when the car is parked in the garage and then use that spot to determine the length of the rope. It's difficult because the first position will be directly above the car. You have to either climb onto the car's roof or move…

I went with the Genie kit. Everything you need is there if you don't opt for additional mounting hardware. I had the parts I needed. In any case, I didn't have to look for or buy each part individually. It takes some time to find the points on the ceiling for both turn points with the eyebolts. I had ceiling lights, bikes and ladders on the ceiling to get around or move around. If you have a clean ceiling, installation should be much quicker. Screwing into the jamb for added strength is…

Although "if all else fails read the instructions" if you read the instructions (I included them because the seller didn't), explain clear how to install the ball for automatic retraction when the garage door is closed. Again, it automatically withdraws regardless of any feedback. In my case, I leave my car outside in the summer (to have more space in the garage) so I didn't want the ball to hang down when I'm working with the door closed. There's nothing special about the ball except maybe…

I noticed some confusion and conflicting information about this park ball so I went ahead and made a video showing how it works and how to install it. Very easy, took about 10 minutes. It retracts automatically when properly installed. Too many people don't seem to get the instructions and instead install it their way and then claim it doesn't work properly. I thought the video would help alleviate some of this and help others with the weather, that's what they need. This is my third and they…

Don't do this, just grab something sticking to the bottom. Here's why: The point is that you attach two grommets to the ceiling and one to the garage door. The idea is that when you open the door, the ball will come down from the ceiling. Then park and if you close the door the ball will go up again. Amazing right? no See, the problem is that the three holes form a triangle, so you end up with a rope going through three points, forming a sinusoidal pattern. So when you open the door, the ball…

Ordered two of these - one for each side of a double wing overhead door for any vehicle using this door The first pack, the one I opened had three screw lugs, a ball attached with a long string, and installation instructions. The second package (box) was missing 3 eyelets, one of the reasons I didn't give it 5 stars, and also the fact that if I didn't have an assortment of screw eyelets, the dimensions given in the instructions would not apply to my application I didn't install the second ball,
