Simple Fix for a Frustrating Problem
I was having constant issues with my garage door refusing to close in the afternoon sun—turns out the sensors were getting blinded. This little protector solved the problem instantly. Installation was quick and tool-free, and the fit was perfect on my LiftMaster sensors. The PLA plastic feels sturdy but flexible enough to snap into place without cracking. It’s a smart, low-cost solution that prevents sunlight interference and keeps the door working reliably, even on the brightest days. Bonus points for being made in the USA and recyclable. If your garage door acts up when the sun hits just right, this is a no-brainer fix. Highly recommend.

Solves the problem, well made, super easy to install
It took us a while to figure out that our garage door wasn't closing because during a certain time of the year, in the morning, the sun was hitting the door sensor just right. This caused the sensor to think something was in the way so the door wouldn't close. I tried making a few shields myself but to no avail. I found this item and thought I would give it a try. It installed very easily and immediately solved our problem! So happy it works, and happy to support an American entrepreneur.

Well made product
This product is well made and was easy to install. Unfortunately it did not solve my issue with the sun hitting my sensor. Just be careful because if the sun’s angle is directly hitting sensors these will not help. So there is a certain time, during a certain part of the year where the angle is just right and they don’t work. Otherwise they work great.

Doesn't always do the job.
Item is as described, but it only blocks the sun part of the time. I added additional cardboard/tape as instructed and it still only works part of the time. Apparently I need a longer hood.

Perfect
I don’t leave a lot of reviews, but was compelled to for this product. After purchasing a new home , we discovered an incredibly annoying problem the garage door would not close because the sensors looked directly into the Sun most of the day. Afterntrying several solutions over the course of a year, from tissue paper rolls to pvc pipe, none worked. I found these on Amazon and took a shot. I installed them in less than 10 mins and they worked perfectly. They’ve been installed for about 6 months and still work perfectly, not a single problem. They are a very simple and elegant design crafted on a 3D printer. When I read the instruction sheet and discovered they were fabricated by a kid while he was in middle school and now uses the proceeds from the sale of these products to pay for college, I was blown away. I would highly recommend this product and supporting this young man. He’s got a great future ahead of him and you won’t regret the purchase. I’d give it 10 stars if I could.

Great purchase! So happy I purchased this item to fix our garage door issue. Bright sunny days caused some sensor issues so this was the perfect fix.

For a few years now, in the spring and summer the sun was hitting my garage door sensor and it wouldn’t close unless someone stood inside and held the button down. It was a real pain. Many times someone would leave for a drive and have to text whoever was home “garage pls” so they would come and close it. I tried the paper roll trick, shielding it with old rewards cards, and other jury-rigged solutions. None of them worked. I ordered this product and the problem is solved. (I only needed one, for one side). It installed easily in seconds, and it has worked perfectly ever since. I’m also impressed this is produced and sold by an entrepreneurial young lad. I definitely recommend buying it if you have this sun/sensor issue.

I was a little surprised to find that these were filament printed. But they are well designed and were easy to install. They came with instructions and work great.
