I see you have a 3" strut on the top panel... This sounds silly, but you should try a 2" strut for more ridgidity. It's a little lighter and a bit less flexible
I don't see anything wrong with the height of the opener... Make sure the j arm doesn't touch the strut while traveling or it could put a crease in the strut and weaken it
@@jeremywilliams4493 activate the opener and walk over to the door... If the j arm winds up "resting against" the strut, then it's probably putting pressure on it momentarily... If you do notice this, then yes, make that arm a notch longer and readjust the travel limits. It may look calm when the arm is up against the strut, but if it is, it will be putting subtle pressure on the arm which will pull at the strut and the actual bracket of the j arm. If pressure is enough or if it's allowed to operate like that long enough, the pressure could slowly yank out the avian bracket connected to the arm. Look at the strut and see if it's got a little dent in it. Any sent in the strut will be the point of weakness. This can even happen to a brand new strut. Especially with the 3". The arm is actually shaped like a "J" so that it will avoid contact with the strut. If you were to use a 2" (the thinner looking strut) it is actually easier to avoid this as there is less material. Try making the arm longer by adjusting those bolts to the next holes to make the arm longer. (it will force you to adjust travel limits to make the door seal shut) but you definitely want those 2 things to never actually make contact. If the strut is not creased, then this adjustment may stop the flexing of the top panel. If you make the adjustment properly and the strut/top panel still flex or bow... Then the strut may already be compromised.
This response is along the lines of Collins garage door... Although it's way easier to adjust the arm to give relief than lower the opener... Either way you'll still have to adjust the travel of the door. Anyway, kudos collinsgaragedoors
Hey man that opener is mounted wayyy to high you can see the active bow in the door and when it runs it flexes the rail and door badly if you can lower the opener some to give the door some relief
