Sectional door instruction measurements may not be accurate - 90" too far from back wall
I ordered two of these - one for each side of a double sectional door for each of the vehicles using that door. The first package I opened had three screw-in eyelets, the ball which is attached with a long string, and installation instructions. The second package (box) was missing the three eyelets - one reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating as wells as the fact that the instruction measurements didn't apply in my application. Had I not had an assortment of screw-in eyelets I would've been unable to install the second ball. Hardware costs less than a dollar - but inconvenience factor - high. Nevertheless I was able to install both balls to fall precisely in the spot I wanted so that the vehicles are not only placed the distance from the front garage wall that I wanted - but laterally spaced when using the ball as an aiming point for specific spots on the vehicle dashes - a speaker on one of the vehicles and a seam in the dash on the other. A spring clamp is a good tool for holding the string to the eyelets before tying off the string on the eyelet that's attached to the garage door. Placement of the middle eyelet is critical the instructions told me to place it 90 inches from the back garage wall. That was incorrect - it was approximately 8" too far out from the back wall. Using that measurement - with the ball at the correct height - when the door closed the string would be too short. I stopped the garage door about 8" from closing and the ball was touching the ceiling. Why I used a clamp to hold the string at the garage door eyelet rather than tying it off. My middle eyelet needed to be about 8" to the rear of the top edge of the door when the door was open (about 82" from the back wall) - that makes the string longer and allows space between the ball and the ceiling when the door is closed. TO INSTALL: I recommend measuring how far from the front garage wall the ball needs to be then installing the eyelet over the ball first - then installing the eyelet on the top of the garage door with the door open. Next close the door. Temporarily run the string through the first eyelet and attach the string to the garage door eyelet - wrapping it around the eyelet and clamping it - the actual height of the ball at this time isn't critical as this determines a straight line for all three eyelets.. The middle eyelet will be placed right above the string. You can open the eyelet slightly, which allows the string to be slid in it after it's attached to the ceiling or just rethread through that eyelet after removing the string from the garage door. (I used long nose pliers to open the eyelet to avoid having to reconnect to the garage door eyelet.) In my application the eyelet was place 8" rearward of the forward edge of the door when it was opened. Your's may vary. (I had extra eyelets - so on the misplacement, based on the instructions, of the first one I just added an extra eyelet.) Close the door to place that middle eyelet - as when it's open the door is in the way. Slide the string inside the eyelet that you just installed. Loosen the clamp at the door eyelet and adjust for the correct height of the ball. Then clamp it back at the door eyelet. Close the door - but be prepared to stop it if the ball reaches the top of the ceiling before the door is fully closed. Make any final adjustment to the length of the string and finally cut it to the correct length and tie it to the door eyelet. It's a time consuming installation - so if you don't mind the ball always hanging down - you can just hang it from the first eyelet. I am easily pleased and just enjoy watching the balls rise as the door opens - so the installation process was worth the effort for me.

Perfect Parking every time!
Great for making sure I don't pull too far forward in the garage. Took a little measuring to get it perfect but it now is set and works great!

Does what it says... just don't tug on it.
Works exactly as advertised. A bit of a pain to put up if you want it to retract when the door goes down. I just stuck it in the ceiling and let hang down when the door is down. We did bump it pretty good once and it came flying off. I stuck it back together but it's now pretty sensitive to fall off.

Good, cheap and easy garage fix!
Been wanting to do something like this for years. Installed 2 balls, one for wife and teens car. Pretty easy. Had a couple of trials and errors but more my fault for not carefully reading directions to added 5-10 mins. No biggie. Overall really pleased. Only knock to a 4 star because there are no anchors for the tiny eyelets provided. Had to use my own eyelets with anchors that fit. Not sure how they expect things hanging from ceiling to hold if you don't hit a stud…

Needs better instructions.
Installation instructions are confusing. But after a couple of attempts/adjustments we got it adjusted properly and it’s works perfectly.

Does it's job!
My wife was always pulling too far into the garage, but now she can pull in and out with ease. I tweaked the installation a little from the guide but it's great.

Cheap, easily broken... DIY better.
Bought the two pack... and sadly its not really that great. The anchors that come with are garbage if you have sheet-rock ceiling in your garage. The string is easily broken... and you got to be careful of when you back up b/c depending on the time you decide to back up if you car has a aggressive gap between the windshield and the hood. The ball got stuck on mine during the time it sags as the garage door is opening and as I pulled out without watching I ripped that thing out... Anyways cheap. I could have gone with a diy method instead.

Math is hard
I followed the instructions to the letter. I would say their chart of A/B needs work as my eyelets were placed within 1/4" of target but when the door is opened the string is pulled so tight the ball is crushed. Not sure how long it is going to last.

Park stop
Product is what it says it is. But not easy to set up. Confusing. We modified and it worked for us.

Best money ever spent. On a garage thingamabob.
This has made my life better. This saved my garage, my wife’s car, my marriage. Ok maybe not the last one but setting this up was easy and it allows us to park just right in the garage. I love that it retracts into the ceiling when the door is closed allowing me to freely work in the garage when the car is out.
