Default Garage door opener remote control gouges A4 sun visor. (MORE)

Could be that the A4's sun visor is thicker than most. My Lift-Master garage door opener remote control unit's clip is chewing up the A4's sun visor.

Has anybody found a solution?

I looked up www.garagedoordepot.com looking for a different type of transmitter, without much luck. Any ideas.

Default This is what I plan to do.....

I'm going to go buy the sun visor from the S4 (homelink system) and put it in my A4. That will get rid of 2 remotes from the sun visor! I haven't found a price yet and I really don't believe that I could get one just yet. I'll post just as soon as the project is complete.

Me, too, though it seems to reduce the opener's range.

Default 2 ideas

Griot's (and others) sell a small remote about the size of the small Post-It note designed to go on a keychain, but could live in your car.

There's also a gizmo that replaces your ciggie lighter, check it out at handytouch.com.
