i just came home, drove into the garage, and then watched in the rear-view mirror to make sure the garagedoor a) did close, and b) didn't bounce. this is now unnecessary as i am living in a house in which the garage door actually closes and stays closed.
(the one at the ex's house started bouncing obnoxiously right after i left him. i kept thinking that i should offer to call the repair place for him, and then i thought about he stared at that sticker every morning while angrily pressing the doorbell that ought to, but usually didn't, make the garage door open, as well. then i would go open the garage door with the opener in my car.)

Yeah, I still watch, since my previous door and opener seemed to do the same thing.
Our old opener did that too. The fix was to tune the 'tension' knob on the opener. It was especially bad in winter, when ice buildup would cause the 'floor' of the garage-opening to raise a bit. By decreasing the "don't kill the child" sensitivity, we were able to keep the door from bouncing as often.
see, but there's the bit where i no longer need to care, as it's no longer my garage.
mine bounces about once a month. not often enough to do anything but i watch it down every morning to be sure.
