It's the old saying, you get what you pay for. On a CYV with it's 12' door opening the sideway sliders that don't completely clear the door are about $800. The retractable with the screen housing exposed on the outside at the top of the garage door is about $1650 and with the housing hidden behind the door is about $2000.
