Idiot (Me!) Lowers Automatic Garage Door on Car

[BobbyG]

You know John, after I posed this I was thinking of an alternate solution....

In manufacturing we use what's called a light curtain. These are commonly found in many lengths, 2, 3, 4 and 5 foot, and I would think they'd work here as well...

Something like this: PAC GuardShield Type 4 Safety Light Curtains

My two-stall garage is just as cramped.

Good job on the repair of the boo-boo. It could have been worse. The wife did something similar with her car a few days after we got it - closed the door with the back hatch open. It tore off the back wiper and put some nasty scratches in the lift gate that required a trip to the body shop.
