Does your home garage feel too cramped? Dreading scrapes against the back wall every time you park?
This proven tip from seasoned homeowners makes it foolproof.
Hang a tennis ball from the ceiling—it gently taps your windshield at the perfect stop. Here's how:
1. Park your car precisely where you want it positioned—not too close to the wall, not too far back.
2. Use a stick, laser pointer, a friend, or careful sighting to find the exact spot for the tennis ball.
3. Drill a screw into the ceiling at that spot.
4. Tie a string to the screw, then attach the tennis ball to the string's end.
There you have it! Next time, simply stop when the ball touches your windshield. Say goodbye to garage wall dings.
Quick alternative: Tape a string with the ball where it hits your windshield center.
Simple, reliable, and battle-tested by drivers everywhere.
