Default Pressure sensitive sensors on B pillars... you must disarm them with the button near the base of...
...the driver's side B-pillar if you want to arm the car alarm with the windows/roof open. A gust of wind or pressure change is setting off your alarm that's all.<p><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/larryescortsig.jpg">

Default Instructions.
Turn off car.
Get out.
Reach down before shutting door and press black button at base of door pillar. Red lights on door stay on.
Shut door.
Arm system.
