Garage door repair

Repairing my garage door. I am going to brace the top of the door and reconnect the garage door opener arm back to the door.
*My motivation to do this project:
The arm that connects the garage door opener to the garage door has pulled away from the door. This has made the garage door opener inoperable.
Advice:
Very easy project.
Materials:
2 X Angle Iron - $15.00

    Very interesting, I will keep this project in the back of my mind. Hopefully I won’t run into the same problem. One can only hope products are made durable and long lasting.

    Garge door up keep is very important Eric you might get a can of lithium grase and spray your tracks and rollers. It will not stain cloths and can be use for many things in your house. I think its better than WD40.
