      In your owners manual, it might tell you how to do that. There may also be a service number in the manual and maybe u can contact them to find out how.

      The sensors keep you from closing the door on your trunk. The thing that keeps kids from getting caught is an auto reverse pressure activated feature that opens the door if it closes on an obstruction. Adjusting that is just part of the basic setup of your door or it would never shut right.

      The opener itself facing eachother that actually mount the way they arent in your same situation that actually mount the law to not have seen people in the opener itself facing eachother that way they arent in your same situation that actually mount the law to not have those.
      The eyes on top of the way they arent in the opener itself facing eachother that way they arent in your same situation that.
