[QUOTE="Johntn87, post: 1333817, member: 31086"] Thank you to all the forum members for all your tips about how to resolve this vulnerability. I understand that if a thief wants to break in bad enough they will but I have much more peace of mind now that this blatant attack point is gone. Thanks to texasflyer for your photos, it was really helpful. I have a 2019 802a SCREW and there was a tab on the door frame that no matter how much material i removed from the door handle, it would not clear, so I ended up bending it back and it snapped away. It looks like its meant for one of the plastic guide posts on the door handle to help center it in the door, which when installing the passenger handle is completely useless as it is nonexistent on the handle body. The most challenging part for me was removing the door release cable from the old handle and installing it on the new one. Other than that, it took me about an hour to do this job. I'd say this job is 1-2 bananas out of 5, depending on your comfort with tools and taking things apart. [ATTACH]119397[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]119398[/ATTACH] This is the before, and after of the tab inside the door. Please excuse the grime on the paint. The weather and roads have been nasty the last few days. [ATTACH]119399[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]119400[/ATTACH] I also installed the perimeter plus upgrade earlier this week, took a whole 10 minutes, that's with me applying double sided tape to the module. Didn't feel like the aluminum bracket was worth the cost and shipping. Thanks again to the members of this forum for bringing these security issues up and allowing me address them. [/QUOTE]
