LiftMaster 041-0494-001 Security+ 3.0 Remote Visor Clip Fitment Details
The LiftMaster 041-0494-001 is a replacement visor clip service kit for select compatible LiftMaster remote controls. It is used to secure the remote to a vehicle sun visor for convenient access while driving. The listing description REMOTE, VISOR CLIP, SK, S3 indicates a remote visor clip service kit associated with Security+ 3.0 style remote applications.
This is a fitment-specific accessory. It should be matched by the exact remote model, original clip shape, rear slot design, and service part reference. Similar LiftMaster visor clips can look close, but older remote clips and newer Security+ 3.0 clips may not slide into the same remote housing.
What This Part Does
This visor clip attaches to the back of a compatible LiftMaster handheld remote so the remote can be clipped to a vehicle visor. It does not change the remote's frequency, Security+ generation, number of buttons, programming method, battery type, or opener compatibility.
- Replacement visor clip for select compatible LiftMaster remote controls.
- Associated with Security+ 3.0 remote clip applications.
- Allows the remote to mount to a vehicle sun visor.
- No wiring, programming, pairing, or electrical work required.
- Remote transmitter is not included unless separately stated.
Compatible With
LiftMaster 041-0494-001 may be used with select LiftMaster remote controls that call for this specific Security+ 3.0 visor clip service kit. Because the public compatibility list for 041-0494-001 is limited, verify fit using the remote's manual, product label, parts diagram, or original clip style before ordering.
Check these details before selecting this clip:
- Remote brand is LiftMaster.
- Remote is from the compatible Security+ 3.0 generation.
- Remote housing has the correct rear slot for this clip.
- Original clip style matches the replacement clip design.
- Owner manual or parts reference confirms the correct visor clip number.
Important Compatibility Warning
Do not assume this visor clip fits every LiftMaster remote. Older LiftMaster remote controls may use different clip styles, including the common 29B137 style used with many earlier remote families. A clip that fits an older 971LM, 973LM, 371LM, 373LM, 891LM, 893LM, 893MAX, or similar remote may not fit newer Security+ 3.0 remote housings.
If your remote does not have the same rear clip track or the owner's manual does not call for the 041-0494 series clip, confirm the correct part before ordering. Forcing the wrong clip into the remote can crack the housing, loosen the clip track, or leave the remote unsecured on the visor.

Related Parts and Service Checks
If the remote is not working, a visor clip will not repair the transmitter. Check the remote battery, button response, LED indicator, opener compatibility, receiver programming, and learn button generation separately. This part only addresses the missing or damaged vehicle visor clip.
- If the remote works but will not stay on the visor, the clip may be the only part needed.
- If the remote does not light up, check the battery before ordering clip hardware.
- If the remote lights up but will not activate the opener, verify remote compatibility and programming.
- If the rear remote housing is cracked, a new clip may not hold securely.
- If the clip track is broken, a complete remote replacement may be needed.
Technician Note
Visor clips are often ordered after a remote falls off the visor or gets moved between vehicles. Before ordering, look at the back of the remote. If the plastic slide track is intact and only the metal or plastic clip is missing, a replacement clip may solve the mounting issue. If the rear housing is cracked, worn out, or missing part of the clip track, the new clip may not lock in properly.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the remote is a LiftMaster remote.
- Confirm the remote is a compatible Security+ 3.0 style remote if applicable.
- Check the rear of the remote for the correct clip slot design.
- Compare the original clip style to 041-0494-001.
- Confirm whether your manual calls for the 041-0494 series clip.
- Do not confuse this part with the older 29B137 visor clip.
- Confirm you need a clip only, not a complete replacement remote.
- Inspect the remote housing for cracks before ordering.
Installation and Service Notes
Installation is normally a simple slide-on clip replacement when the remote housing and clip track are undamaged. No opener access, wiring, learn button programming, or battery replacement is required for the clip itself. Do not pry aggressively against the remote housing. If the rear slot is cracked or the clip does not slide in smoothly, stop and confirm the correct clip style before applying force.
Professional Advisory
This part is only a mounting clip for a compatible remote. If a door or gate will not respond to the remote, diagnose the remote battery, receiver, opener logic board, antenna, programming, frequency, and safety conditions separately. Do not bypass photo eyes, door reversal systems, gate safety devices, or access control safety circuits while testing remote operation.
Product Questions & Answers
Is LiftMaster 041-0494-001 a complete remote control?
No. LiftMaster 041-0494-001 is a remote visor clip service kit. It is used to mount a compatible remote to a vehicle sun visor and does not include a complete transmitter unless the package contents specifically say otherwise.
Will this clip fit every LiftMaster remote?
No. This clip should be used only with select compatible LiftMaster remotes that use the matching Security+ 3.0 style clip track. Verify the remote model, rear slot design, and manual before ordering.
Is 041-0494-001 the same as 041-0494-000?
Do not assume the 001 and 000 suffixes are identical without confirmation. They appear to be closely related visor clip numbers, but package variation, service-kit labeling, or fitment differences should be verified before substituting one for the other.
Can I use this instead of the older LiftMaster 29B137 visor clip?
Not unless your remote documentation confirms it. The 29B137 clip is commonly associated with many earlier LiftMaster remotes, while 041-0494-001 is associated with newer Security+ 3.0 style remote applications.
Does this visor clip require programming?
No. The visor clip is a mechanical mounting part only. It does not affect remote programming, frequency, button count, learn button color, or opener compatibility.
Will this fix a remote that does not open the garage door?
No. A visor clip will not repair a non-working remote. Check the remote battery, LED indicator, programming, receiver compatibility, antenna, and opener condition if the remote does not operate the door.
What should I check before ordering this clip?
Check the remote model number, original clip shape, rear clip slot, manual part reference, and housing condition. If the back of the remote is cracked or the clip track is damaged, the new clip may not stay attached.
Can this clip be used with Chamberlain or Craftsman remotes?
Only if the remote documentation confirms the same compatible clip style. LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Craftsman, and Raynor remotes can share some part families, but visor clips are not automatically interchangeable across all models.
