Garage door opener won't fit on our visor.
 
We must not be the only people in The Villages who drive a Prius and have trouble with the garage door opener not fitting.

The visor is too thick and the clip for the garage door opener does not adjust. We squeeze it on there and as soon as we lower or raise the visor if promptly falls off and rolls under the seat. Very frustrating.

I would love some suggestions on how to deal with this situation.

Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem, however, my Honda has a cup holder on the dashboard just to the left of the steering wheel by the driver's window. I put my garage door opener and gate pass in the cup holder, very convenient.

Velcro

Go to Advance Auto and buy a visor organizer It attaches to your visor with Velcro or elastic straps, has pockets. and you're sure to find a place to attach your opener

Another vote for Velcro.

ooops--I misunderstood the problem.

For what it's worth I squished the clip on my remote soon after I got it. I remember taking apart the remote to reomove the spring clip and straighten it out back the way it was. I think I could have reformed it to make it bigger.

Velcro at Home Depot or Lowe's has a model with a strap (works like a belt without the buckle).

We had a sunglasses holder up above that we used for ours in our Toyota Camry. Not sure if they put those in Prius. It was a little door that opened.

Not there if you have a sun-roof.
But....my opener fits nicely on my Prius visor (2010). :beer3:

I guess Priuses don't have the feature that allows programming in your garage door frequency and open/close it with a button. Even my husband's 10-yaer-old Dodge has that.

Sure they do. It's called the HomeLink mirror option.

I taped mine in the holder so it did not fall out when I opened the holder.

You could adopt a dog and let him hold it.
