Homelink activated the garage door w/o being pressed.

Has anyone seen this happen before. I recently (30min ago) had my garage door activate as I was pulling in and it came down on the wing/decklid of my 718. This door has never activated randomly in the 18 years of pulling my 986 in the garage. There is no buffer so if the button is pushed twice, it reacts immediately. The door would have never opened. It's an older door so there are no optical sensors.

TIA

Never had the Homelink do it, but with an older (prior) garage door hardware/servo it once malfunctioned in such a way as to come down on my wife's car as she was pulling in. What happened was the "full open/stop position sensor' (a thin hanging metal stick raised by the door passing underneath to trigger a switch) failed, the door kept going beyond 'full open' to its physical limit which then triggers an auto-reverse and started closing. What happens when you open the garage door again (without pulling a car beneath) -- can you re-create it auto-reversing?
