Ive finally got some jacking covers for my skirts. Does anyone know of any way of making them thief proof?
Im thinking of doing a screw upward in each one but theres a gap between the cover and the sill.

I always think my wind deflectors will be nicked in car parks so I'd only assume the same for the jacking covers - especially when you have all four!

I'd glue them on.

Mine are 5 door replicas so dot have jackig points.

And over the earsnie never thought "wish I could remove a jackig point, as I'd get so much more access"

Yeah that's what I need really, using a normal trolley jack on mine so the jacking covers do help out quite a bit

I Had to glue one of mine in and it's still there 2 years later. It is a rear one so never have to remove them though.
