Default Automatic garages are dangerous

I was leaving my apt in Capitol hill today - I have an automatic garage that opens onto Bellevue Ave and have to stop a while in the garage doorway to let pedestrian cross the sidewalk. Anyways, to my horror I felt a bit of a thud and looked back and the garage door was resting on my trunk.

I got to work in Redmond and there's now dent on top of my trunk. Anyone have a Silverstone AP2 trunk for sale?

The apartment management may have a fund for paying for stuff like this.

There should be obstacle detectors on anything automated. Not only will it keep your car protected but it will keep children and animals from being struck by a closing door.

Why buy a new lid, just come to the PDR event on the 29th and get it popped out.

Have the apartment's insurance pay for a new one. They probably have the incident on video tape.
