I forgot the doors had locks...I don't remember the last time I've driven with the top up (years), so locking the doors never really occurred to me.

We have door locks on these cars?

I don't lock the doors either, I'd rather not have my top cut with a knife.
I do have an ignition kill switch and a club on the wheel that I use.

That said, show us how you did this. Always interested in what everyone else is doing to their cars.

I also prefer to avoid having someone cut the top (when the top is actually up) so I don't lock the doors and have a fuel pump cutoff switch the previous owner installed and never told me about. Pretty slick and very well hidden.

Still, It would ne nice to have automatic door locks, or even better power windows. Anybody know how hard it would be to retrofit for power windows?

The reasons I install it was that last summer I close my top one night but kept the window and doors open because my keys where in the house. The next morning, my boot was gone plus he try to steal the radio, my seat was puncture, etc. etc. Also here, you can have a ticket if you keep your door unlock. So this year, I bought viper 2 way alarm system with disturbance field to protect the perimeter of the car. So, with the remote, I will be able to lock and unlock doors and open the trunk.





I remove the window and the track for installation. The cap at the end of the actuator is removable so I install the actuator in the door and the handle. I bent the rod and mark the position of where to start the Z. Took the rod off and made the Z. Remove the handle, put the rod in (I made a hole next to the plastic fitting in the picture), reinstall the handle and connect the cap back to the actuator.
