Is there any way that an insert can made to fit a garage door version? I always assumed that the whole “module” just popped out. Can you give us an idea why it won’t work and maybe if there is a way that @Ayune could modify? I doubt I am the only one interested.
I suppose it has yet to be determined if there are different versions/variations between year models and the L/C vs. LX. But....IF the garage door opener version of the overhead is as mine was (HomeLink)...then a resourceful person might be able to cut out an opening that would fit the current insert.
The insert has a rebated rim around the circumference...so logically it could be epoxied/glued to the modified overhead. You would not have the screw mounts on the back to hold it in place and indeed they might even be in the way, I don't know. I didn't explore that possibility with mine, just purchased the correct fitting part.
If I had another insert in hand...I could find the answer in short order. I think it could be done...but you would need to be pretty accurate with your cuts if you wanted it to look good. I would certainly cut the opening undersized and then finish the dimensions by grinding or sanding.
