I just got a 61 Rag Top bug. This car is my daily driver and do not have a garage to park it in at night. Does anyone have a good plan to block off the ragtop to prevent someone from cutting it and jumping in? I am also looking for a good alarm system. (12v) any and all suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

Someone attacked my old '62 ragtop one evening and got nothing for their efforts and I got some nice little damage. I couldn't find anything on the market to stop them. A friend went a little nuts though, thought you would get a kick out of it.

He purchased two car covers, one with the cable along the bottom that attaches to an alarm and a normal cover. He placed the normal cover on the car and had some type of poly coating sprayed on all the way around the windows and roof. He then placed the cable cover over the top of the car and had his girlfriend sew the two together. In the end, he had created some kind of helmet for the car that he would place on it every night.

Needless to say, he had enough trouble trying to store his new car cover as it would not fold up neatly into a bag. It was one big giant bowl. LOL
