It fits well, and the price is good. And I didn’t have any problems with the installation (well, if you are fine with using a ladder, so it would be ok for you too). The height is adjusted (it touches the windshield after the installation). Due to this, you can easily adjust a distance for your car. I had a laser parking guide before it, but it was not very convenient because it required a plug to plug it in. As I didn’t see the laser unless it was shining on the dash, it was rather difficult to put the car left or right. Due to the ball solution, I see the ball when I enter the garage, and it helps to steer. I also considered the options with the battery powered systems, but I could not place it in my garage, and I didn’t want that someone could stumble when the car would be outside. Of course, someone could run into this small ball, but it is not like you could fall. And I like this positive and bright ball with a smiley face. I bought this one for my mother. She always has stress while she is parking in the garage. She gets out the car to make sure that the car is far enough, or she puts the car too close and it blocks the door of the house, so she had to walk around the car. She is 80, and any distance at this age takes much efforts. I have installed this yellow ball, and now my mom is very confident. She now puts the car side to side every time, and she knows that she does it right. And this smiley face makes her smile and think positive, even when it comes to parking. The installation is simple. Place your car where it should be, and then use your ladder and hold the string and let it hang down to the car windshield. Then mark the place on the ceiling, remove your car, and you should secure the ball safely. The only thing I don’t like is the threaded eyelets. They are small. It is not able to penetrate through the drywall ceiling into backing or stud. The option is to screw into the drywall supporting the weight of the ball. But when the car is not in the garage, this ball hangs freely, and you can just bump this wall from time to time. I decided to use a hook. And there was two option to use it. The first option is to use a wood threaded screw to find a stud above the location. The second option is to use the hollow ceiling anchor with the butterfly system. So I went for the second option. And I could easily adjust the height I needed. So, this thing makes the parking issues easier in one and the same place all the time. Its goal is achieved. If you are from Texas, the adhesives and heat are not a good mixture. This product is easily installed in the garage. It protects well the car from any scratches. I like the surface textures, it is so soft and thick, and nice-looking. Now I know that ¼ thickness is the right size for the perfect protection. I used just one pad because the car doors fit well to this size. But it is good to have spare pad in case I want to prolong or add the additional layer. During the installation my husband and I used a level. Then we peeled a thin layer of the backing. My husband peeled the rest of the backing, and I just continued to apply the pad using the level. The installation just took several minutes, and we didn’t have any problems at all. Oh, I also kept the pad on the floor for a week to make it even. If anything is going to change, I will let you know. Well, I accidently bumped my car door cause I opened widely in the garage. And I thought that there should be some bumper for the wall. At first, I was looking for the plastic rubber bumper, but then I decided to go around the door frame. But then I found foam wall bumper. It had better reviews, deeper thickness, and a fabric weave for keeping it together. So, as you guessed, I used this bumper, and it is now 6 months and it is kept well. The installation was simple. First off, I cleaned the concrete wall from the dust and any rough ends. I just used the damp towel on it, and then I let the wall dry for a night. Then I used a level to apply this protector evenly. And that was it. It is now applied evenly and nice. I did it with the door frame. I also cleaned it with wet towel, and then let it dry. I used this protector on the door frame where the car door contacts it. It sticks well to the edges, and in 6 months, it is still there. I must say that our designer of the garage built this place for bicycles only because a standard car does not fit well there. That is why this product is a panacea for our car and garage. Now we do not afraid that the door can be scratched because we have this great protection. This item is really a great thing. It just helps us to solve our space issues. Thanks! We have some place in a condo garage, and it is right to the concrete wall. I always worry that I may damage a bumper, or a door when I get into this place. I found this protection on Amazon, and I ordered them at once. I like the bright color, and it works well as a visual cue. It comes with screws, but I cannot apply them. So I used a universal glue you may find in the big shops. So I glued it on the wall, and it worked well. Now I am safe. Why I didn’t buy these several years ago? Now I do not worry about my car door when I open it in the garage. I tested this product in the garage of my son, and it was great. It is rather strong and sticky, and I don’t think about any scratches anymore. I definitely recommend this item. I have a new car, and as I have a narrow drive way in front of the house, I applied these guards. I just do not want to spoil my new car. So I used the stripes on the narrowest spots. I used them outside, so I am not sure if it last long. But it copes with the task well so far. We have a big garage for two cars. And my husband tries to leave more space for me. And so he has pro skills at parking, closely to the side of the garage. I bought this door mat protection. And he was really happy because now he could open the Mercedes door without any problems. We also put the second one on my side. But I think my husband will still leave me more space ;). It is a great protection that fits the wall in the garage. The size is good, and it also looks great and soft! Due to this protection, you are just secured, and I do not worry about my car. It is very convenient and the price is reasonable.
