Mark, it sounds like you need a set of car dollies to move inop cars! I'm
probably ready to part with my set of Go jacks, but the shipping is usually
the issue. In your case I'm not so far away, in Las Vegas.
Anyway, having room to assemble the opener is useful and access to the
front wall (with the door closed) as well as the area of the head unit is
required. I guess it's possible to work around the cars, but I'd avoid that
if possible.
