Can't get car on ramps in garage
I have some standard Rhino Ramps that I used many times when changing the oil in my 2005 Impala SS but I cannot get my Camaro to roll up on them without them being pushed ahead. Anyone else have this happen? Any ideas?

Sounds like the rubber stopper on the underside of the ramp, one each ramp I think, fell out. Same thing happened to me.

Sounds like the bottom lip of the front facia is hitting the ramp and pushing it. Not much clearance in the front on these cars. You probably need longer ramps with a more gradual incline.

Put some rubber backed carpet scraps under the ramps. That should help them stay in place.

I put bricks or a pieces of 2x4 between the ramp and the 'step up' in the front of the garage. That way they cant slide. The rubber stoppers on my ramps also wont keep it from sliding for some reason.

I have Rhinos - absolutely no issues. They do not move at all on my concrete garage floor.

Try putting a 1x4 on the floor and get the tires the 1" up off the ground before they hit the ramps and I have a small lip on the edge of my garage between the asphault and concrete that I place the ramps against to keep them from moving. I do this with my Impala and it keeps the air dam from hitting and the ramps from moving. I did a trial fit with the SS but have not driven it up yet.

I put cinder blocks under mine and they work just fine. The ramps stay still.

Do you have a sealed/smooth concrete floor?

Longer ramps with a less agressive angle should work.
I jack mine up and set the ramps under the wheels then lower it!!! |

It just occured to me maybe why I didn't have this trouble driving my 05 Impala SS up on them: it was a front wheel drive car and those front tires probably kind of "grabbed" the ramps and pulled them under the tires. |

My Rhino ramps work fine on front wheel drive cars, but not the Camaro.
The air dam does not touch, but the ramps still slide. The first time it happened, I just moved out on the driveway where the pavement is rougher. But, I also got a pair of Race Ramps to solve the problem in the garage. |

On my smooth garage floor, I used non skid shelf liner under the front half of the ramps.
