Has anyone tried using this on a corner? My garage has a bump out and I'm worried about whacking the darn corner with my car door. Thank you!

Chris, I have not used this on a corner. However, but I checked mine to see if it can be bent around a corner and it appears that it can be. I seems pliable enough. Also, note that there is only 2 screw holes to anchor this against the wall. The screw holes are on the top corners. So you may have to figure out how to anchor the product on the bottom. You may just need to add 2 more screws at the bottom to keep it wrapped around the corner. FYI - I will be moving soon and these guys are coming with me....

It would probably work...I think it's thick enough to withstand the jag from your car door

Chris,Yes I think it would work just fine but you would need to turn it vertically.

Maria...Is this happening on turns? If so it is because as you make the corner your handlebars turn and ultimately 'dip' as you go through the corner. That feature doesn't have an option to enable/disable. You'd think the folks that design these things would think beyond the dashboard and consider it may be mounted on a bicycle, motorcycle, or something. I'm guessing by now you've found a better solution, but if not...just don't make turns...lol.

Don't know about side. I have a full size pick-up and a van. My issue was in getting either vehicle inside the garage far enough that the garage door would close as near as possible to the rear of the vehicles, saving space in the front. Both of them do exactly what I wanted them to do.

I have not seen a problem with this. It dosent rub against the door causing scoring. There is a very small gap of space so I don't have this problem

I have been using outside on my garage. I have had very little overspray. I wouldn't use any sprayer close to cars but if you are a bit away this sprayer should be fine. Watch the wind! I love the sprayer and am thrilled with the purchase.

This is just a normal 3d rectangle shaped cabinet. I don't think it will help for the corner.

It worked great for me. Setup is fairly easy but just read instructions carefully. This will work fine however he/she will see it and disable it....maybe. put it on the outside of the door so it cannot be disabled from his/her side.

No, it's fairly rigid, the most you will get is maybe 10 degrees.It's not really made for making corners, but for isolating vibration/stress on the exhaust system.

Yes, I think so, but you will give up a bit of space behind it. We have it on a flat wall and it works great, but I think we could easily move it to a corner.

I had to take my car to a nearby garage and get them to unhook it for me, which they did quite graciously. I've watched two people unplug it - they both lay on their backs so they could see under the dash, then pressed the "sweet spot" to release the device. I think it helped that they were both young guys - I'm a middle aged woman and when I tried reaching around the device from the front, I just couldn't exert enough strength in the right spot to release the doggone thing.

The angle gun is more "corner" friendly. Especially when working with moldings etc. in tight places. We have ran 20,000 plus nails through ours and not one problem . Still going strong. If it broke today it owes us nothing. I'd buy the same thing again in a heartbeat.

Lori,does the wall aim towards the large garage door or is it somewhere where there has a dead wall? The heat would be read as a signature that is not normally present in the space. If so then this should work... if at the big garage door then this might have issues until the heat signature moves fairly close to the unit itself....

I use mine in a corner at a 45 degree angle to the wall just fine without it looking funny. The sides are curved but overall are more or less about 45 degrees from corner to corner so it works well in a corner

We use the corner of the back door as the electrical entrance and that works fine because it does have the flap on it to hold it tightly in place. So even though there is no mention of one, because there is a back door designed for it, that's what we use. We use it all summer and I make video reviews. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HeVukH6Qdk

Absolutely. I bought mine after the house was broken into and we had repeated "kids" leaving the door open all night. The unit will shut door after "X" minutes 2,5,10,30,60 (etc) AND once it gets DARK. It is very annoying (and LOUD) in that it closes sometimes when you do not want it to but THAT IS ITS JOB. I love the product. As far as installation. I have a two car wide garage, the unit is mounted on the wall about 1.5 car lengths from the door next to the BUTTON. Where you mount it is up to you but it does need POWER and access to the button. This is a GREAT PRODUCT 100% satisfied with it since purchase.

Hi, sounds like it might be too late, but in the few installations I've done with the various Gila cling films, I've rolled it out and placed some books to get it to flatten out for a few days before installing. I haven't had any problems with corners not sticking. I cut to size first, rather than trying to use a razor blade or Xacto to cut after on the window. I've tried both, and cutting first definitely works better for me. Remember to spray some water (mixed with a few drops of dish soap) onto the entire window surface before applying film. Don't be stingy with the water, don't hose it down, but a good spray all over works well to allow you to slide the film around to position just right. Then simple squeegee top to bottom, inside out (I used one of the clean up squeegees you can get for shower doors). As to which side, if it is the heat-reducer film, definitely reflective side out toward the heat source. I have a storm door, so I put it on the storm door rather than main door (which is also full glass) so I was reflecting heat away closer to the heat source (e.g. Sun) and less heat would get trapped between the main door and storm door. Hope this helps.

I bent mine, not a sharp L but as shape as it let me about 18-20 inches from corner it starts to bend. I hope that makes sense.
