easy install, works great
My Genie garage door opener (potentially 15yrs old since I bought the home used) started making a horrible racket and wouldn't open or close, but didn't make any noise when I disconnected the carriage release from the screw drive. That pointed to a bad carriage. I was very happy to find this part on Amazon.
Installation was very easy:
1) pull the manual release cord on the carriage to disconnect it from the screw drive
2) remove the cotter pin/bolt from the old carriage and the angle bar that is attached to the garage door (leave the bar attached to the door)
3) remove single nut supporting the track at the front of the garage.
4) supporting the track with 1 hand, gently push the track off to one side just a couple of inches to allow you to slide off the existing carriage
NOTE: after you pull off the carriage, you'll probably notice that some/many/all of the teeth have broken off
5) slide the new carriage on being careful about the orientation...

Inexpensive fix for garage door repair
Our garage door opener starting making a horrile noise and wouldn't open properly. In looking at the carriage for the screw drive, it appeared worn down. Since we really didn't want to purchase a new door opener, we took a chance this was the part that needed replacement. It was exactly what we needed and works great! Saved us lots of money and was easy to replace.
Easily fixed door that wouldn't open
Web research indicates this carriage assembly (which engages with the long screw on Genie Screw-drive openers)is the most common failure with these type openers. But, neither of my local home centers carried the part, despite carrying the Genie brand openers and some other parts (seems they'd prefer to sell you a new opener). My door needed "help" to start opening, and the old carriage assembly didn't look too bad (a few chipped teeth), but the new carriage fixed the problem. Check that the door moves easily with the opener disengaged first (no sticking, broken springs, etc.).
