So ... What the heck does everyone do with their garage door opener?
Thanks.

Here’s what I did to my wife’s car, and it works really well.
Take the cover off the garage door opener and solder two wires to the contacts that are connected when you push the button to open/close the door. Snake the wires out, protect them, and close the cover. Take out an unused blank switch cover from a convenient location and drill an appropriate sized hole for a push button switch. Get a small momentary push button, install it in the switch blank, connect the wires to the switch contacts. Use Velcro to attach the door opener under the dash somewhere convenient so you can easily get it out to change the battery.
Then you have an attractive little button, and this hides the opener, which thieves sometimes look for to get into garages.
This is the push button I used:
