I have the same issue although only about 3” total. Since I bought parking bumpers on Amazon I have had no issue parking. I used double sided tape to secure them and they work great. There is enough downward force from the tire once you’re on them that they don’t move at all.

The trick is to change height to entry so the height is always consistent and use a landmark on the camera to know when to stop but the bumpers keep you safe.

Might be easier to pull in instead of back in btw.

Hey, looks like you were taking pictures in my garage. :) I have the exact same trouble. After some research, I ended using this product from Amazon:

When your wheels hit the first lower curve, you can be sure it is right spot to stop now. And the second higher curve will block your wheels nicely in a slow move.

The catch is, it will move itself as well every time you push it when you park, in spite it has been glued down to the floor. I do want to bolt them to the floor that would end up some holes. So sooner or later it would need to be re-positioned again. So far I have used it for a couple of months now and may need to do so next month for the first time I guess.

I was going to have the same problem and I needed 100% assurance that the CB does not end up in my bedroom.
The answer was to bolt one of these to the floor.

I've backed into my garage for over 4 months now. I can easily park it within about an inch or where I want it to be using the cameras.
I would trust the cameras much more than some other device. You can see if there is something that is in your way.
To make it easy, just put a piece of tape or paint a line on the floor/wall where the camera/bumper is supposed to be. Just pull into that point.
