What does "encasing the Alarm Module" mean and why would I want to do that?
Thx.

Hi,
There have been quite a few failures/shorts of the Alarm Modules on these cars. The module sits under the Drivers seat and gets wet if rain seeps in, the top is down in a storm or even from washing. The problem is the module (some $3500 to replace and reprogram) gets wet and shorts out. The car won't start and most of the electronics go screwy - pretty poor design considering it's a convertible.
My suggestion to one lister was to place the box in a Tupperware container drilled to accept the mounting points on the floor. This would allow as much as 1.5-2 inches of water before the Alarm Module was threatened. Simple, out-of-sight fix for a couple bucks vs $3500...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
