[QUOTE="Murray20c8, post: 330272, member: 6078"] When you are driving in you use your driver side mirror as the guide. It's not that easy to drive in in the dead middle until you get your mirrors close to the posts. Another thing is the garage / barn door. It is usually some distance from the posts. Mine is about a foot away from the posts and it is not perfectly aligned with the posts for reasons only my barn knows. ;). So the car is never 100% aligned in the middle or straight on the hoist. Then there's the ramps. It takes some right foot to get it up the ramps and then when it hits the top it lurches forwards and you react as the mirrors are now close to the posts. Now when backing out hours later or next day, the mirrors are about 6 feet from the rear posts. So you don't really know just how close you are to the posts until the mirrors get there. You don't know if you are backing out straight since you weren't parked perfectly straight. Then there are the ramps. When you hit the ramps your car lurches backwards down the ramps. However, like someone suggested once you get the mirrors close to the posts and you are sure you can back out straight you can pull the mirrors in until they clear the posts and then you can unfold the mirrors. if you can, I can't until I'm out of the barn. It's still a little dicey for me because of the barn / host alignment. [/QUOTE]
