I went to Google, and typed in garage parking bumpers and found lots of results. You can scan these and see what fits you needs, etc.
Hope this helps.

I have seen lots of Villagers simply hang a tennis ball from the ceiling of the garage to the front of the car/cart windshield so one knows just how far to go to comfortably fit the car/cart into the garage.
Have also seen the stop sign sold here [parkez or emerson brand]: http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&page...%20stop%20sign The Parkez model is also available by mail from Walmart: Parkez Flashing LED Light Parking Stop Sign For Garage - Walmart.com

Punch two holes in a tennis ball and run a rope through it. Hang if from the ceiling so it just touches your windshield when you reach the place you want to stop.

Put a screw eye in the ceiling above the windshield, hang from that some fishing line. Pull the car in the garage to the spot you want to return to each time you park. Hook a red and white fishing bobber to the fishing line so the bobber just touches the windshield. The next time time you park pull the car up to the bobber so it touches the windshield in the same spot.

Tennis ball works great! And it's definitely cheaper.

I Use things I already have. Twine, staple gun, and plastic Pepsi bottle cap cut off (or any small bottle cut down), couple washers for weight. As mentioned park the car were you want to repeat it.
Drill or punch hole in the bottle cap, run the string/twine through, screw the cap lid back on the cut off bottle top.Tie the washers for weight ( or anything handy that has some weight to it so the light bottle cap will hang straight. Now staple the sting to the garage ceiling to hand at the corner of the windshield o. The drivers side so you can accurately hit the mark. IMO staple gun don't put no ugly holes in the ceiling when you remove or get different car. |

I use a tennis ball in Michigan. Works great! We used a thicker piece of string and two large thumb tacks. A thumb tack for the ceiling and one for the ball.
My ball hits the windshield on my Flex. I just have to make sure I turn off the wipers!! lol

I would not put anything on the floor. Get a laser device or hand something from the ceiling... even a piece of one of those pool floating tubes works or an old tire will definitely get your attention.
