Thanks Hooper. I cannot see a date on that article. I tried searching the Vancouver Sun data base, and could not find it.Anyway, this seems like a human interest story, one woman's bad experience having her car broken into, more than athoroughly researched piece of news. My opinion,whichanyone can of course disagreee with.
If this was apervasive problem, wouldn'tConsumer Reports and Edmunds would be all over it? That's the question I have.
Actually, there was a threaddedicated t this subject on the Mazda3forum boards a while back. It had links to various other references too.
They said if you punch the door hard enough and in the right spot the solenoid will pop the lock.
'Seems like a long shot that anybody might go through all that trouble just to break into a 3, but in this day and age, who knows? There are a lot of desperate ppl out there.

If I find the thread again, I'll put it up on here for reference.

Well, that was easier than I thought it would be. Here ya' go:
