But wouldn't the alarm go off anyway if it is activated and the door is open??

I still don't know how this 'supposed way' is but I'm assuming that somehow he can get the door open without smashing the window?!

Only if my dog don't chew on stuff, I would have her in there guarding my car hehe

Guys,

I'll pull my door apart on the weekend and figure out how its done and also see if I can find out a way to fix it, once I've done that I'll PM people.

Stay tuned.

PS I don't think an alarm will stop them breaking in as it didn't in my case.

Cheers

Cameron

It sounds like there is a method of getting into your car but if you have an alarm / immobiliser then you shouldnt worry about the actual car being stolen.

Only reason to worry would be if you have stuff to steal inside the car - i try to not have valuables in the car when i leave it parked (i.e take the stereo face off) etc. They can steal cd's as i only have burnt cd copies in the car anyways.

Why dont you people just wire up another siren?

Get a piezo siren from dick smith or something; they're only about 10 bucks, but they're 100+DB.. Mount this somewhere hidden IN THE CABIN.. I can guarantee you that no1 can stand even a few seconds.

These sirens are meant for house alarms - the sales person even tried to talk me out of buying it as he recons you'd get deaf... but if a thief wanted to break into the car and steal shit, then I don't care if they get deaf.

If your alarm is triggered, you'll find that your normal siren (under the bonnet) will be louder outside the car, but stick your head inside the car and then you'll see what its like :rofl:

My car got broken into about a month ago. They tried to get the door open as scars suggest, but in the end they just smashed the window.

PM me coz I'd like to know, but I doubt its gonna help. If they want in, they'll get in. Just make sure you get a good immobilizer so they cant get the car without a tow truck.

      FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.

      As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.

      but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
