The only person that I know of that produces the seat locks are from a member on this site. His name is Pete and goes by the screen name Kodokan_4

Not sure if he still has any left but it doesn't hurt to PM him.

I've also hear about the seat locks. Since you need a special key to unlock it i'm sure it will help prevent seat jacking.

Yes...they will only slash your top, try to pull the seats, become angry when they cannot and slash the seats as well, maybe throw a little key to your paint for the trouble.
I dont see the point for the locks. Seeing as the culprit wont know you have them till they have already broke into your car.
The most efficient deterant would have to be a good alarm system. I saw one with flame throwers in a RoboCop movie. Try to find that one.

Seat locks are a good idea, but they are useless when angry thieves will slash the crap out of your seats.

get a good alarm with a proxcimity (SP) sensor so when they walk up to the car the car will chirp at them. the good thing about the prox sensor is that if you wave your hand above the top it will also chirp at you. if you get a 2 way remote you will get a confirmation saying that the alarm is going off. if you want more info PM me.

This seatlocks is a absolutely must have. It's like $60 and will give you the peace of mind. Some of you people are just clueless. If a thieve tries to steals your seats and he cant, obviously he will be angry, so he will slah your seats, so are you saying that you would rather have no seats. This is exactly what happened to several members, hey, atleast, he still have a seat so he can drive the car. For $60, it's just dumb not to get it. Hey, it's your car and it's your seats, this is just my $0.02.

Hey, I'd rather get new seat covers than $6K for seats. At least you can drive the car til the seat covers come in.
