Racor PPK-1R Parking Guide, Yellow

Product Description

Amazon.com Product Review

Automobiles can do a lot of damage to garage walls if parked incorrectly. And, garage doors can do a lot of damage to cars if they come down on top of them. Racor's parking guide helps you park perfectly every time so none of these things happen. The guide works with all types of cars and trucks. With only one mat needed per vehicle, wheels drop into place so that you're sure that you've driven far enough into your garage to clear the automatic door. Simply set the guide on the floor exactly where you want your front tires to stop. A unique tongue design makes it so the car's weight holds the guide in place. Drive over the first hump and you'll know it's time to stop when the tire comes to rest on the second. Made of heavy-duty polypropylene for durability and easy cleaning, the device ensures years of reliable parking guidance. --Brian D. Olson

Like the others I find that this doesn't stay still. Every time we park the car it slides forward. I tried duct taping it to the floor of the garage - that helps but it still needs to be adjusted every few days.

This product works great if you keep an eye on it. I have an explorer, and the mat tends to slide forward a little every time you park. I've already customized the front wall in my garage with my bumper, so be careful...adjust it every few weeks. otherwise, it's indispensible. couldn't park without it.

If you're like me, I hate having a ball hanging from the ceiling. That is why I like this product so much. It's fairly easy getting it in the right place. The trick is not to enter too fast or you will never feel when your tire is in the right spot. Also, since it is not much wider than the tire you have to drive in relatively the same each time. I'm actually considering buying 3 more since my tires are leaving black spots on my garage floor.
