The eyes are mounted roughly between 4 and 6 inches from the floor on the rails,based on nicoles 1st post the door buckled on the way down,and that has nothing to do with the eye's,that has to do with the motor either not having the reversing safety or a malfunction to do with that safety in the motor electronics itself.
