Are they mounted on the track?

I'd either get the track anchored better so it doesn't vibrate so much, or get them mounted at an alternate position, so vibration won't affect them.

They are a nice safety feature -- and a convenience feature if tied into the opener's light when the door is opened. They should work flawlessly; I wouldn't defeat them, but get them working properly instead.
