In order to maximize garage space utilization I need to park my car as close to the overhead door as possible. I looked at other parking blocks and they are higher priced and a lot taller. Now this really is designed to protect cables over being a parking block, but with a gentle foot this works well, plus its not so obtrusive that then the car is out that this is in the way. Also I don't have to hang a ball that would be in the way when the car is out of the garage, or deal with a laser that would take several attempts to align correctly.This is used to park our spare summer car, which means that this cable cover spends a majority of its life big compressed by our car. Over the past few months it has yet to deform in the slightest. I'd definitely trust this as a low profile cable cover and wouldn't hesitate to buy them in the future.
