Default DIY Seat Locks & Window Decals

I made my seat locks via DIY forum, added a few "secret" tweaks of my own. A couple of weeks ago I ordered decals I found on another forum, all for under $10. Got all the hardware at McFadden-Dale here in SoCal, they found all the right stuff in minutes, it would have taken me hours to find this stuff at Home Depot. The decals were mentioned on another forum, they look very officials, hope this helps, got them from davesdecals@yahoo.com. I am not associated with either of these 2 businesses. Maybe now I don't have to worry about my top being slashed before the thief realizes I have seat Locks!

I dunno, I tried searching, but didn't find anything, maybe try searching old topics on this forum, about a month ago, the directions were published. I will try that.

Is that a standard hardened allen hex bolt?
if so a thief can still turn that with a vice-grip if it is not secured from underneath.

cool stickers! where do you get them from?

You are right, but in a limited space, like the rear bolts, it's almost impossible. "Button Head" bolts would probably work better, but I found out about those after these were installed. The decals I got from davesdecals@yahoo.com, I emailed him and he sent me a "fact sheet", which I ordered from. I took off the "immobilizer" decal and put these in it's place, they mount on the inside of the glass. Other decals I had found were rather large, and a brand name on them which didn't apply, these look like they were put on by Honda.

I did mine recently and I also got window decals.

The info on the seat bolts I got from here by Dave (xviper) :

I ordered my seat decals in silver, I like the look of them, but I also like your decals as well, yours look very clean. Mine are likely the ones you refer to, they look to be a bit larger and mine mount on the outside of the glass. I've got dark tinted windows so I think my version will show up better, though yours look very nice.

So people who are stealing seats previously knew which size sockets to bring with them.

Now they know to bring an allen head adapter and a small razor (which they already had to slash the top).

That's a key point, securing it (or any bolt really) under the floorpan. Time is a thief's enemy, unless the car is towed to a chop shop, reaching under a low car to remove 8 additional lock nuts on extended bolts may prevent the theft.
