ABSTRACT:
An overhead console arrangement for a motor vehicle is provided with a compartment that will accommodate therein any of a multiplicity of known garage door openers, and permit same to be actuated by application of an actuation pressure to the door of the compartment. The door of the compartment is provided with a resilient latching arrangement that precludes inadvertent opening of the door, yet permits inward displacement thereof to effect actuation of the garage door opener. The housing of the compartment preferably is integrally formed with structure for supporting a plurality of electrical elements that function independently ofthe garage door opener. These include switching elements for the sunroof of the vehicle and interior lighting, as well as a lighting enclosure. Actuation of the garage door opener transmitter, which is coupled to the door of the compartment, is effected by urging the door further in the closed direction, whereupon an actuator coupled to the roof of the compartment communicates with the actuation region of the garage door opener transmitter.
