What do you do with your garage door opener on the golf cart? When you park (at a square, store, etc) do you put the opener in the glove box (locked/unlocked) or is everyone comfortable to leave it hanging in the cart?

I mounted mine to my overhead console using rivets. Remove the metal visor clip, then take the battery cover off. Drill a couple of holes through the back (as well as through the console), rivet it to the overhead, and reinstall the front of the opener

It takes about 30 seconds to get out of the golf car and use the mounted key pad, I leave my remote at home.

And for those of us who don't have a mounted keypad? Wondering also if you have a cover over your driveway for rainy days.

One would need to either match the cart to someone’s home, or steal the opener and follow them home. In the first case, it would be pretty difficult. In the second case, when they got home they would discover the garage door opener gone, and presumably change the garage code (also assuming one has the house key on your key chain so you could get into the house). These are the two scenarios my non-criminal mind can come up with.

In any event, we feel pretty comfortable having it in our overhead shelf.

Everyone should have a keypad. If it's raining I'm sure you would get wet getting into your golf car before you headed for home so a little more won't hurt.

There’s an app for that.

Thanks for the responses. Good ideas - feel safe that someone would know where home is and then take the opener.

Ours is velcrowed to the inside part of the front dashboard in both golf carts. Never have even given it a second thought. I am much more concerned about getting a decent t time and an open lane in the sport pools to swim laps.

I leave it on the front seat with the keys.

[Waddling Eagle]

We just leave it in the cart. No one is going to figure out which house it goes to.

Don,t be stupid take it with you ,trust no one. I,m from Chicago they would steal that thing in a second if you leave it.

Take the remote with you, hide it in the engine compartment or leave it at home. It can be taken and reprogrammed to another garage door unit provided it matches the brand, (RoMac). These things are not cheap ($32) and anyone can reach in and take it. I bought one at a garage sale for $5, took it home, checked the batteries, got a paper clip and programmed it to my unit.
Voila!!! A spare.

We put ours in the glove box and locked it. So the crooks just took the whole cart, 2 years old, parked in front of Colony Cottage, in broad daylight. Don't worry about the garage door opener!
