My garage door compartment needs a lift. The cover broke, first in the middle where you would push the opener, and then the latch so it was just hanging down.

I didn't use it for it's original purpose anyway, so does anyone have any creative ideas for something else there?

Switch panel, spot to mount GPS overhead, scangauge or ultra gauge, etc. I'll echo the switch panel idea.

Some good ideas! Thanks. I'm assuming there are tutorials out there for some of these ideas, or am I on my own?

Really bad idea to keep a garage door opener in your car. Burglar breaks into car. Finds opener. Finds registration. Goes to your house and takes your shit. Not a fantasy, it happens all the time.

While these may be good points, they are not in line with the subject of the thread. I just wanted ideas for ways to mod/fill that spot.

HomeLink only works with ignition on.... But that is a good point.

I lock my registration inside my console vault for this very reason. I also use a Homelink mirror instead of a portable opener, and rewired it so the mirror is only powered when the ignition is on.

Is that a sunroof/moonroof switch in the second image? Looks like it would be an ideal location for a power sliding rear window switch.

no worries. I just ordered the one for the center. it'll work. so, you just splice wires from the opener battery connection to the switch?
