I need something to stop me hitting the garage wall while still getting as close as possible. Wheel stops need to be bolted down so that won't work. I'm thinking something like a pool noodle bollard. Does such a thing exist? Or do I need to get two pool noodles and a couple of christmas tree stands or similar? ๐Ÿค”

How bad is your eyesight? ๐Ÿ˜‚

What you can do is mark the wall of the garage on the driver's side and when the mirror becomes level with it stop.

Well, I can't see the front of the car. I would like to be able to get right to the wall so I have space to get things in and out of the back, but if I misjudge and damage the plaster it's going to be an expensive fix. The side wall of the garage is too far away to be an effective marker.

Obtain a witch's hat and put a flag through the top.
