Adjusting shock sensor

I have spent(wasted) quite some time on this topic ie. adjusting my shock sensors. Many people on this site have given me different ideas/advices. Nothing to my satisfaction really. Yes, on slamming your door, the sensor should go off, but how are you goin to test that? If you have your alarm to set off when a door is opened, you cannot do that test. If you really want to test it that way, you got to disable the door-sensors. I've heard about perimeter sensors that set the alarm to go off when someone is within a few inches from the body of the car or touches the car. I don't know how well these work. I heard that they go off when the rain drops fall on your roof. Thats just another pain to have to disable the alarm each time the weather chages or rain falls! Plus I heard you have to change the setting when the weather changes. So far, I have learnt that a light knock (like a door ding) should set off the pre-warn if you have one, and a hard knock like a very hard door-ding or a good blow to the car should set off the full alarm. One mechanic showed me his Honda Accord where he kicked his tires and it set off the pre-warn. I never succeeded doing the same in my much newer car. I understand that my newer vehicle has much better shock absorbers built in that try to absorb shocks. Well upon more advisors, I tied my shock sensor to the steering wheel column with double side tape, nylon ties and tape, making it as tight as possible. Set the prewarn to FULL senitivity. I kicked my tires and could actually see the steering wheel turn slightly with each kick on my front tire. The sensor STILL did not pick up anything. I am now going to try different manufacuters' shock sensors since I am now thinking that my omega alarm's sensor may not be sensitive enough? Let me know when you find a good answer!
