    The visors in my truck are very thick and the opener just jumps off because the clip doesn't fit very well. Whats some good solutions?

    In the cubby to the right of steering wheel. Take the clip off the opener so it lays flat. Manual trans trucks won't have that option.

    Keep mine in the cupholder in the console, along with a whole lotta other shit. Hardly ever use the cupholders to hold a cup.

    LOL I keep mine on pass side visor. Ya clip is a little small but it kinda sits in the little impression in the headliner. Works good until the wife unknowingly pulls the visor down and it flies off at her!

    I used to keep sweet and low in my right opening compartment. Garage opener and change goes in left compartment. Don't even have to look, just push the button when I feel it.

    I put some Velcro on it and put it in the compartment to the right. Not my favorite but it works.
