red clip

[tuanle16]

any one have an experience with the red clip? thoughts? is it just a waste of money or does it work?

I use mine. And they're pretty cheap.

use it all the time. drop the top, put in the clip and i'm good to go. short trips out of the car mean i can still enable the motion sensor without having to raise the top.

Can the red clip help when someone throws garbage into your car?

I laughed pretty hard when I saw this because I pictured someone throwing a full milkshake in the car and the alarm going off.

The red clip a plastic piece that gets put in the same place your roof hooks into when you close it. When you put the roof down, you put the red clip in it's place and it makes the cars sensors think that the roof is up and when you lock the car it engages the in-car sensors.

It is a cheap for what it does. I use mine a little but I could live without it. For what it costs it is nice to have when you want it. Would look better in black.

I've found it takes the security system some time to react. I can reach in real quick and pull something out and it won't go off.

True, it's not helpful in that situation...but maybe, just maybe, with some vandals it might defuse their antagonism
to the point where I'm cleaning half a Coke off my leather instead of trying to figure out what I'm going to do to remedy
the long, recently inflicted key-scratch down the side of the car...

I use the red clip fairly often. Its cheap and easy to use and I hate putting the top up every time that I stop somewhere. Some people paint them black to blend into the windshield header but I like the red.

Even though the alarm motion sensor is activated, I still don't leave anything worth stealing out in plain sight. A little common sense can go a long way.
