mel77 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Hi all, I have a 59 plate golf. Had no worries up until yesterday when I noticed someone had tried to break in the passenger side window by trying to prise the seal and snapping the trim. Then I got thinking about the alam and why it never went off? Surely it should gave done? In fact it never does. So today we've pushed it, sat on it, messed with the doors and nothing. We then sat inside and put the alam on....waved moved about and didn't go off for 25 seconds more than enough time for someone to steal all my belongings. Rang golf-must not be set sensitive enough we'll have it in on the 21st. And the repair will be £100 approx as damage isn't covered on warrenty. The more I think about it the more annoyed I am. That to me isn't good enough, it should go off when tampered with surely??!!! The damage wouldn't have happened if the alarm had gone off (or scared them off) what are others alarms like? Is this a golf trait? I thought when u bought a gold you got quality and I felt that about the alarm but now I'm not to sure or impresed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
