I have a Y reg 206CC and when I lower the roof it turns off the internal sensors for the car alarm so it doesn't go off when you stick your hand in. Is there a way to switch this back on when the roof is down? I have tried the button next to the airbag on/off switch which allows you to activate/deactive the internal sensors when the roof is UP, but it doesn't seem to make any diffference when the roof is down.
I have seen some previous posts about this with some people saying you can and some saying you can't?

The sensors do not work with the roof down.. Why would you want to? as the alarm will be triggered by air movement etc..
Even if the roof is up and you leave the windows open slightly and do not deactivate the sensors then the wind movement sets it off..
Just don't leave anything valuable at arms reach, and lock the glove box if the roof is down..

I have a Y reg CC and the alarm no longer works if I open the boot and the alarm is set and locked. I can quite easily open boot when car is locked and alarmed and hear nothing.
There would be a time when I would wake my neighbours at silly o clock (b4 the drayton manor meet was a classic) by opening boot without disabling alarm.
Any ideas???

Yeah. WD40 onto the boot latch. There's 2 microswitches there - I believe one for the roof control and one for the alarm. Mine started sticking after a month or so. WD40 sorted it
