Default Parking Assist for Renters in Short Garage

We have a lovely house in The Villages that we rent out. Unfortunately, it has a short garage. I want to do something along the lines of hanging a tennis ball from the ceiling to bump up against the windshield as an indication to the renters that it's time to STOP before they hit the wall. The problem is, different people come in with different models of cars, so a tennis ball placed to stop a Honda would allow a Mercury Grand Marquis to make a delivery directly into the laundry room. My thought is to still hang a tennis ball, but rather than having it hit the windshield, have it hit against the front end of the car instead, because then the model of the car wouldn't matter, right? For the driver to know they've hit the ball with their front end though, it seems like I'd need to have some sort of flag or something eye level on the string for the driver to see. Has anyone seen such a gizmo that works like this?
