   are there any security benefits to this at all as well as looking good?

   yes mate, you cant open the doors if you bend the top of the door out or smash a window
   so it stops most people trying

   Yes there is a added security benefit because many people pull the top of your door back and then reach down for the pins to open the door.. Hope this helps

   Does make it a lot safer, and looks better too imo!

   cheers guys i surpose it does. it should stop them lifting the seal and pulling the pin from the door mechanism aswell i surpose. but you wont be able to lock the car from the inside though, to stop someone trying to jack it!
   anyway thanks again fellas

    its pretty easy to do. just got to take the door card off and feel about inside the door and pop the door pin off. mine was a hassle because someone had cable tied two bits inside it together because it was broken, but in general an easy mod. and only a couple of quid for the rubber grommets

    i did mine last weekend,, just cut the rod,, put a corkscrew over the end and then a 13mm grommit. agreed with the secruity issue but if you have remote locking you can lock it from inside and not open the doors!! great for a kidnap lol
