Sun hitting garage door sensors

[daddycreswell]

In the afternoons when I close my garage door the sun is hitting one of my sensor directly and it stops from letting the door go down. I guess I need some type of "sun shade" for it. Any ideas?

Be aware, swapping sides is a wiring pain AND it'll just swap the time of day when this happens. I'll sometimes have issues in the mornings. Neighbors across the street will sometimes have issues in the evenings. YMMV.

length of pvc pipe slipped over the sensor will shade the lens.
