Do you think it's worth a try to "rebow" (in the opposite direction)
this support piece? Can it even be done? I was thinking that I could
remove it and bend it back ( create an up bias) with some heat and
force. Has anyone done that?

Not at all likely w/o having it buckle imo. I'd give far less than 1%
odds w/o a forming machine.

I assume these beams are sold. Maybe I could just buy a new one
instead.

Don't know whether they're considered replacement parts or not altho
possible I suppose.

Actually, as write this, what I'd probably try would be to place shims
of varying thickness under it to recreate the straight edge from end to
end--try a few washers behind it in the center as a starter and see if
helps; if so you can get more precise...

(Thanking my lucky stars I don't have the house w/ the single
double-wide garage door any longer to have the problem... )
