Hi just wondering if there is any way of securing a e30 hardtop when in car? I've been told to Steal it you just smash rear side window or man door window undo front release handles and release rear pins. Is there anything one can do to add more security, I was thinking of having that supa glass security film put on the windows already have a Clifford alarm. Any help would be nice thanks

1 Park in an alarmed and locked garage
2 Buy a large dog to live in the front passenger seat.
3 Take out agreed value insurance.

The nuts that screw onto the pins would hinder a thief if they don't have the right tool.

Not for long though, a flathead screwdriver will get the nut off.
I've got a good alarm which goes off if you enter into the cabin.

Last time I looked the pins were £100+ each from BMW, ouch!
I've got none I'm afraid.

Pump action for close range, and a bazooka if they do a runner.
