I think they're on the forward side of the door opening.

Default I dought that's your problem.....

does the trip comp display show any doors/trunk open?
try using the interior sensor disable button tonight.
check the manual for details.
adjust via Vag if needed

It's not your motion sensors is it (windows down)?

Default IIRC, there is a way to "reduce" the sensitivity of the interior sensors...

Default I'm guessing that that isn't it...My pass side front door doesn't register on the trip comp as open.

...what's the deal? could that somehow set the alarm off? Maybe it works occasionally when the door is locked making the security system think the door is open and tripping it? Even so...where the hell is the switch? It isn't like the ones on the rear doors..that's it's own separate little switch..I can't find the front ones at all

There could be another explanation: do you live in New Jersey?

Try disabling the motion sensors (with the button on the B pillar) and see if that helps.
