This time of year the sun tends to cause interference with my garage door blockage sensors.

I've been manually closing my garage as a result, but finally took the time to "fix" it

PVC threaded female end to slip on. Didn't glue it, but it's jammed on tight enough. Sensor still works fine when an actual object is in the path.

I have a similar problem. My garage faces North. In the Fall and Spring, the sun rises and shines directly into the sensor. Back when I left every morning at that time, I'd get out of my car, and cast a shadow so the door would close. Another option was to move the garbage bin so it cast a shadow, but it wasn't tall enough to work for the whole time.

A tube might have worked, but then what would I complain about?
