Keep your windshield filthy and it can’t stick.

Driver to Insurance company: My windshield needs to be replaced.
Insurance Company rep: Why? What happened?
Driver: A big yellow rock broke it.
Insurance Company rep: Okay, does that impair your driving?
Driver: Yes, it does, very much so.
Insurance Company rep: Well, we’ll have to send someone right over, sir.................

The Barnacle an opaque piece of plastic held in place by two suction cups and 750 pounds of force makes it nearly impossible for a driver to drive away, even if they think they can cleverly stick their head out of the window. Held in place with suction cups. Which means that a small drill which makes a hole in the plastic (but hopefully not hitting the glass of the windshield), thus allowing air in and breaking the suction, will make it un-stick.

I have a 1966 Toyota LandCruiser. And I drive with my windshield down at all times, so suck it meter maids

Carry around a .005” feeler gauge and slip it between the glass and suction surface.

If you ever actually try to drive that way, its physically very difficult, Dougherty said. And dangerous. Lawyers will have a field day.

Just put a plunge-depth stop on the bit and no problemo.
Years ago when they developed the boot I fed my money into the wrong slot and came back to find my vehicle booted. They refused to believe that I had paid and told me that it would be $50 to unlock the boot. What they didn’t count of was that I had heavy-duty bolt cutters. I called them up and offered to return the boot - for $50.

Thin feeler gauge and a can of WD40 will solve that!
To: raybbr
It would have to be a really long feeler gage to reach the suction disk in the middle of the plastic rectangle.

Terrific.... looks like a job for at least a three person crew under union rules, two jackers and a supervisor and maybe a flagman or two. There's your jobs program.

Yeah, those things look fairly easily defeatable in a variety of ways.

In Minnesota, we’ve all driven much blinder after snowstorms.

Trim the plastic away with that battery powered jigsaw you’ve always wanted but never had an excuse to buy.

The device is likely very hardened and can’t be drilled with hand tools.
But you can always drill a teeny tiny hole from the inside of the windshield and then patch it with a drop of epoxy.

This is great! Would love to see some sanctimonious yuppie tooling down the street in the Beemer with head out the window and alarm blaring away.
