Abstract (en)
An anti-theft element (18) for the doors of motor vehicles, fitted to the lower edge of the lowerable windows 5 (dropping-glass or partially dropping windows) of the doors (1) of a motor vehicle, operable to prevent the insertion between the window and the outer skin (3) of the door of a break-in tool shaped so as to act on the members of the lock so as to open it; the anti-theft element (18) including an elongate fin (19) integrally joined by a sufficient length to a support element (22) so as to project therefrom, the support element being operable to fix the fin (19) to the window (5); the support element (22) being made of a section, U-shaped or otherwise, irremovably fixed by gluing (or other method) around the lower edge (20) of the window; in use, the fin (19) is positioned along the lower edge (20) of the window (5) and extends laterally, outwardly of the window, ending in a free edge (23) which, when the window is fully raised, is positioned beneath the upper portion of the outer skin (3); the anti-theft element (18) may be made of metal or of rigid plastics, resistant to flexing; the element (18) offers more effective protection against attempts to break in and enables current specific protection elements to be removed from components of the lock and/or various pull rods and levers, these prior art elements being easier to avoid with break-in tools; mounting the element is simpler and faster, even on different types of motor vehicle. <IMAGE>
