The fixing of my garage door.  I need help - had a little miss-hap, and I don't know how to fix it.  So if anyone can fix it, that would be truly righteous.  This is what it looks like:     I know I was out of control with the smiley's - - somebody's got to use them. |

Hey Bucket, from what I can see, it looks like most of the damage is at or near where two pieces of the door invade. I can straighten most of the metal but it would not be perfect. The bracing in the bottom pic should probably be replaced. Best place for that is Overhead door.

Yeah, what is damaged is the top of the first section. It will not close with the opener attached, but will close manually. With the door closed, light shines in from where it is bent. It sucks. I am going to call overhead door tomorrow to see how much some of these pieces are.

I can probably get it straight enough for the door to close with the opener, but would need to look at it first. Let me know what shoes find out from overhead door. maybe can get just the replacement pieces and replace them yourself, with help of course.

So I talked to Overhead Door, they said that they do not recomend bending the metal back in place and that I should buy a whole new panel. So they won't be much help because I certainly do not want to buy a new panel unless it is a last resort.
So do shoes want to take a look at it?

Tell your brothers to get off their asses. Are they on a "no help Becky" rule or something? Did shoes finally send them over the edge? heehee

If shoes need help still I can swing by as well, It does look like shoes can get away with a brace on the top panel and shoes can buy them from the overhead shop.
