Yes, and then your motion sensors work, and monitor the insides of the car, incase someone tries to reach in a take something, the alarm will sound-off.

did i read somewhere you can trick the alarm into thinking the top is up (thus enabling the motion sensor) if, when you push the lock button on your key, you have a finger up in the top lock (where the bottom of the red clip goes)? this would assume (1) your finger works as well as a piece of plastic (it does, i think -- jam it up there and the radio goes out for a second -- 987);and (2) that the alarm only "checks" for a closed top when it is activated -- if so, the motion sensor just stays on . . . .

i would prefer that to the clip.

please let me know if i am greatly mistaken in thinking i read that -- haven't tried it myself -- might just go out and try it now.

How could you reach that from outside the vehicle? Your windows would have to be down I suppose.

I've never heard of that.

nah, it's an easy reach -- don't even have to lean on the car -- it's right at the front window line

Have you tried it to see if it works? Does it fool the sensors?
