So I took the car out of the garage the other day. Hit the button on the garage opener, shut the garage door and went for a spin. When I got home I hit the garage door opener button and the garage door went up about 1 foot and then I heard a big bang.
The garage door opener broke its mounting brackets and came crashing to the floor. Guys, this is right where the car sits that this thing came down.
Car has been parked under it for the last two years and I open and close the garage door several times every day. The Cobra Gods had been watching out for my little Cobra!
It looks as though the mounting brackets holding the opener up had gave up the ghost. I never noticed any additional movement in the opener.
I now have new mounting brackets and also safety wire holding up the garage door opener.
