Tell me when to stop

[mg777]

I was wondering what ingenious apparatus you all use to gauge your stopping point in your garage? If I don't pull up far enough, my back sticks out under my car port and I get some run-off from the roof on the back of my car. If I pull too forward forward... Dont want to think about what would happen !! I'm using the ol'tennis ball method, but this is pretty unsightly. Take a look. Any ideas?!

I bought one of those laser pointers for parking devices, works great.

I'd say use the ball and string but you've got that covered.

They sell electronic devices that you mount on the wall and sensors tell you when to stop vie lights.??

I bought a concave 18" mirror on amazon
it was like 50 bucks and is a hell of a lot more useful than a suspended tennis ball
try that

Bingo.

[Mad*Max]

I use the audible method..................j/k don't need for my garage

as an idea, you could always screw/glue a piece of wood on the floor so that you will know when to stop

I use the "Braille" method...as soon as I "FEEL" it hit the front wall, I back up 6" and I'm fine !!

I don't think that's so bad: the tennis ball/string method. But, my friends use an anchored in piece of quite narrow, but about two inches high wood--it works but it's sort of easy to trip over (after a year or more, this past week they shaved it down to about 1 inch). I use a plastic roll over stop but it slides around so it's not really the best. I also have just enough room to put in a crushable box that I can hear if I get too close (and start to push on it). Unlike you, I back in.

I use a brick. The front end just barely clears it.

Knock the wall down and push it back 2 feet. Corvette needs more room that you do.

[Kadorja]

Usually the walls are my first indication i've gone too far.

laser

[sguido2]

rubber parking block that is the width of the tire, sticks to the concrete floor. the ball had to go...

[SmokinZ51]

I use the tennis ball for all three cars. If you are worried about the looks go with the electronic device or a wheel stop.

I have a piece of 90 degree PVC glued to the floor....roll up and stop when I feel it...

What you have works so I would stick with it.
