DevilsCry 11 Report post Posted July 5, 2019 I have installed bonnet struts today and as soon as I tried to lock the car the alarm would trigger. After a few tests I figured it was the bonnet alarm not being pushed down enough. So I applied a small 2mm sticky pad on the inside rand that's solved it. I did some googling to see how other people have solved this after installing the gas struts. I can see a lot of images where there is no bonnet pressure sensor at all. I am wondering if it's the Scion or BRZ's that don't have it or they simply remove the bracket and sensor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted July 6, 2019 The alarm is a UK fitment installed when the cars arrive at Portbury Docks, so other markets will not have it. 1 DevilsCry reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 458 Report post Posted July 6, 2019 You shouldn't need to do anything when fitting them. Are you sure you didn't knock the sensor when fitting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevilsCry 11 Report post Posted July 6, 2019 Thanks Lauren, that makes sense then. Mike, I am very sure I did not knock it. I'll see if I can adjust it slightly as the tape is only temporary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
