WTF?!

[Hum-Digger]

I had the same thing happen to my 2005 H2 a few weeks ago. Took it the the dealer, total cost was less then $300.00 to repair. Consider getting Jimmy Jammers for both front doors and while there's no guarantee it will prevent breaking into your vehicle, it's another layer of protection.

I paid $451.31 for the following:

F-Handle $88.52
F-Cylinder $106.18
Labor was $218.90

I was thinking about claiming insurance, but I figured just to swallow the loss.

I'll think about jimmyjammer, but the service advisor advised not altering the door because if the thief really wants to, they'll still get in.

My guess is - just park your Hummer as close to the business or restaurant as possible w/o any door dings. I parked it close to the street so I wouldn't get any door dings, but I guess door dings is more preferable than a break in.

what's everyone's take on it?

Sorry guys but the billet buckets dont stop the thieves. I have seen several with severaly damaged door skins because the theives tore up the door to get around the bucket and they still got in.

The best thing to do is to do 3 things:
-Get an alarm with warning remote
-Billet door buckets
-Jimmy Jammer plates

i agree about getting an aftermarket alarm. i have a python(wish i got viper) with alarm and remote start. works really well. its got sensors so if someone fidgets with your doors for more than a few seconds then the alarm will go off... and trust me its annoying as hell. my buds tap my truck every once in a while just to set off the alarm because its pretty sensitive

The newest ones will even alert you if you are within a mile of your rig which is handy. i would go with one like this. it says retail 650$ but ive seen them for as low as 250$

I have an aftermarket alarm (which is great peace of mind knowing if someone broke in, they aren't moving the 4ton of beast - at least not easily), but STILL I've had two idiots do the same damage to my drivers side door. I seem to remember it costing around $170 back in '06, it recently happened last year and I recall it costing closer to $350-$400...I'm not sure if I just remembered wrong the first time around, if the damage wasn't as severe, or inflation took effect...either way that's what you can expect.
