My alarm doesn't go off by itself as a rule, but when we get a heavy downburst of rain it goes off.
Is there a way of desensitizing the alarm a little?

I'd reckon that water is getting into part of that system and that is causing it to set the alarm off - but where?? Have you checked all over the car with a garden hose or pressure sprayer pack?

I don't think it's the amount of water, but the force. I used a pressure washer on it a couple of weeks ago. The only issue I had then was removing 90% of the clear lacquer from off the roof.
It only goes off when you get big drops or a sudden 'wet to your underkeks in ten feet' type of downpour.

It can rain all day and no alarm issues

Just changed the alternator between showers. Sat upstairs searching for wamasu eggs in Tamriel on the Xbox when a sudden burst of rain sets off the alarm...AGAIN!
Still annoying!:mad:
