Panel van security

Has anyone got one of these on there sliding van door any Good any problems

I wouldn't bother in all honesty.

Most (if not all) of us have PVCs which have crappy plastic windows that can be broken and opened by a 5-year old child armed with his plastic mechano screwdriver.

My preferred solution would be heavily armed mercenaries private security guards 24/7.

We left our PVC parked in Nice for about 30 mins and came back to an attempted break-in, they just forced open a plastic window breaking the interior handles in the process. The only thing I can think of that stopped them was the internal sensors going off from my Vanbitz alarm.

We drove round Italy for weeks having removed a broken kitchen window and replaced with a sheet of perspex cut to size and attached by duct tape. No problems at all! I was quite surprised that no one had a go!
