[Spridgets] Garage door idea - "no car specific content"

[Guy R Day]

I have two of them on the front of my garage, but the side rails go a little 
higher than the garage door opening so the gap at the top remains constant 
as they go up and down and the roll diameter alters above the opening.  Most 
of my heat goes out through the metal of the door - but on sunny days the 
opposite occurs and they act as a heating panel.
