   i assume this is a common problem for most people, me personally has just found out ...
   
   the whole thing about being able to open the door with a cable tie or a single core of a cable, not very good i no... i was think about cutting the snibs of? then if your doors lock with you in the car your screwed?
   
   has anyone countered this problem and if so please sharee as im sure the last thing someone would want is to be broken into!

    if you don't have CL then the chances are you don't have electric windows either; just roll your window down and unlock yourself with the key.

    Yeah... Just thinking, Imagine that, Having the discreetly Very low.... as low as possible and have them sticking out the door card really low.... Yeah, would look a bit weird but, Imagine the available snidy lock manouver if you was about to get car jacked.....
