Windshield VIN # partially covered up? Help!
Ok, this is odd. There is a small piece of paper covering part of my VIN# in the windshield. I am trying to figure out how to get it out of there. Do I have to take the dash cover off? This really sucks. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark

Ummm, OK. With your VIN number, a correct key can be cut and your car stolen by merely getting in and driving off. Does it happen often? Probably not, but why facilitate when a small, correctly positioned shield blocks it?

Better keep your Vette inside your garage 24/7/365.

With your license plate they can run a DMV check on your car and get the VIN and have a key cut, and steal your car. Better cover up those license plates as well!!

In many states (like Texas), that info is not available. Besides, with a cop and dog in the garage, what could go wrong?
The 100% cheapest and best way to avoid theft is to not buy a Vette.
