1. We are lucky... could definitely be worse. Could have hit glass.
2. I’m very pissed at my garage door motor Following this incident I tried to adjust the “downward pressure” but found that my model has automatically adjusted downward pressure... which apparently means it’s a guillotine. It will basically attempt to slice through anything. Not happy about that and willing to replace it just for that reason after this. It literally hit the spoiler... kept going... hit the hatchback panel... kept going....
The photos don’t really do it justice but what do you think we are looking at here in terms of cost? Best case scenario the spoiler and hatchback panel need to be repainted. Worse case scenario the hatchback panel needs to be replaced and maybe the rear right tail light as well. Hard to tell right now. The spoiler has multiple big gashes in the paint down to metal but as far as I can tell no deformity of the spoiler itself. The “rash” on the hatch panel is surprisingly deep and wide, especially considering it is recessed from the spoiler. The garage door really just ground it’s way down until it finally decided the resistance was enough.
Really Hard not to be frustrated with the “someone” especially since to someone’s credit, the garage door motor is borderline dangerous.
