[QUOTE="Oklahomabassin, post: 4275588, member: 1546"] Any pictures? If I understand correctly where the opener mounts to the top door panel broke loose? Most residential garage door panels don't have very thick sheeting. If a door is out of alignment or has a lot of friction from wheels dragging the opener can tear the door panel sheeting. If one just uses self tapping screws to secure another piece of metal over the sheeting, it will just be a matter of time before it pulls loose again. The one fellow mentioned using a piece of metal on the inside and outside to sandwich the door panel where the opener mounts. The outside piece spreads ths footprint out over a wider area to help provide more strength. [/QUOTE]
