Volvo V40 alarm activates too easily in wind?

1997 V40 the alarm goes off in a semi strong breeze. Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity?
Brett, November 2009
I dont know about adjusting the sensitivity, but I have found that making sure all the air vents are closed stopped the problem on mine. If the vents or window are not closed, when the wind blows the alarm senses a pressure change in the car and thinks someone is breaking in.

Hope this helps.
