LB's right on... lots of unarmed dead spots.

Reaching into your center cubby holes or your dash to snag your GPS or radar detector will trigger the alarm.

However, anything in the door pockets or rear storage compartment (above the engine) is unprotected. Same goes with your center windscreen or the rollbar inserts. All are at greater risk for theft when the top is left down and the clip is in use.

Center console is wired to the system, so if it's opened the alarm will sound regardless of red clip use.

Raising your windows with our without the red clip's use is a good idea for top down parking if you must do it.

The red clip, BTW, was designed for owners of factory humps. The idea was to disable the top switch so one could not accidently to raise the top when the humps were installed. Factory humps came with the red clip and extras were sold through the parts department because they're easily misplaced.
