So I took my car to have the alarm installed today. Thinking it might rain, I threw the T-Tops on just incase. Tonight I went to take them off, and the passenger side rear hook will not unhook from the body. The front one will, but not the rear. This is really frusterating me and I'll probably end up breaking something if someone doesn't tell me how to fix it.

 

We are 'do-it-yourself' people, so why did you pay to have someone else wire your car?
How about this: Remove the lever using philips or torx bit.
Remove the screws (philips) that hold the black
plastic cover (think that there are two).
Drop the cover and give a look-see. Manually
move the rod that works the broken latch-tab.
Temporarily install the lever to move working latch. This is just an educated guess.

I don't know how many alarms you've wired up, but apparently it's many more than I have. I'm not too good at wiring a two-way, dual zone shock sensor alarm with proximity sensor. If this would have been a cheap-o three wire hook-up I might have done it myself. I just wanted it done right the first time, and get a warranty.

Anyways, I did begin to remove the cover but the torx bit on the handle was nearly stripped. I didn't want to take a chance ruining it any further, so I figured I would see if anyone has experienced this before, and how they solved it.

 

I install home alarms for a living, and listen to, own, and repair classic Hi-Fi for myself and others. I find wiring easy.

I belong to two Audiophile web groups- WWW.AudioAsylum.Com
and WWW.AudioKarma.org

There is a whole world of wonderful Analog Hi-Fi sound out there, that can make digital sound as bad as two cups with a string between them. This is a whole other arguement/discussion, with plenty of people on either side of the issue.

Well no wonder.
