red clip

"According to the Dealer, The Red Clips purpose is not to enable the IR sensors for security, It comes with the Speedhumps, When you put your speedhump on while the top is down, your suppose to place the red clip on as a reminder to remove the humps prior to raising the top...plus you cannot raise your top if the clip is on...its a prevenative measure to keep you from breaking something."

This makes the most sense..............but when i turn my alarm on, isnt it on. its not like my alarm is only activated when the roof is closed.....i'm kinda lost.

last week, i had one drunk idiot do a dukes of hazard and jump over my door and right into the driver side(he was part of the wedding party, i didnt know him, and i pretty much completly lost my mind as to why this fool would even attempt this). i was in the parking lot and my car was sitting locked/alarm on, windows down, roof down. alarm went off.....

but what i am trying to say is that the alarm was on, and when he jumped in, the alarm went off. so why do i need a red clip. or was i very drunk and not realize how this useless alarm works.
