Ah yes, I remember seeing that picture in a thread you made somewhere, thanks. :)

After reading this I found my RED CLIP I bought many years ago and tried it out... turns out that it DOES NOT trigger the IR in the car for some reason. Does anyone have an idea why this would not be working for me on my 2001 S ?

Mine does....however
There is such a delay I could play a chess game sitting on a seat reaching inside and moving the pieces before the alarm goes off.....worthless for a snatch and grab thief

Yikes. I've owned a roadster for 25 years and have never had anyone steal anything out of her. As far as "never parking with the top down" as a theft deterrent, that's crazy. If they want to get in, they just cut your top with a pocket knife and reach inside. Better to just leave the top down and let them take everything they want, but leave you with an intact soft top. Who leaves valuables in a car anyway? No car is safe, fixed head coupe or not. Cheers. :cheers::cheers: |

As for the plexiglass wind deflector; for some reason it takes me forever to get the clasps released, I think mine must be defective or something because that thing hates to come out so I'm not really worried about someone stealing that. |
Great tip...
...I have done this and it seems to work great. Haven't lost a screen yet.

Drove in to Tucson the other day. Left a sweatshirt folded up on the armrest and a bottle of water on that. Spent about 15 minutes in a sporting goods store, came out and they took my bottle of water. 1st thing I've ever had stolen from a roadster. Funny thing, then I was thirsty! :)

My brother drives convertibles and a lesson I learned from him is that your better off leaving the top down with nothing in your car than having the top up... his car roof was cut open and they only stole a CD, map, $0.57 .... repair costs was in the thousands. Not worth it.... top down, windows up and keep the car clean is the general rule!
