When I first saw these touted a few years ago I'd imagined they would be fairly trivial to bypass. - light oil or penetrating oil can be used to bypass the gasket. If it will remove decals or stickers, this thing doesnt stand a chance. - exploiting the coefficient of expansion for gasses (as these brilliant students did) is absolutely an option. - keeping your windshield wipers up would prevent use of the device. - running some 4lb test fishing line taped against your windshield would allow, once placed, the gasket to be defeated by just lifting up on it. and as always, remember, manufacturers are bound to use a specific set of locks and bolts. Torx security are inexpensive and a barrel lock impression tool is about ten dollars. disclosure: As an automotive mechanics apprentice, ive had to remove way more tenacious crap from windshields than this thing.
