Weak shock sensor

Weak shock sensor
Hey Darryl (and others),
I finally finished my Crime Guard installation. I figure I spent about 35 total hours on it. It's hard to believe that alarm installations can be bought for $300-400. But I'm happy with the performance and programming options. Thanks for the guidance in door-lock and driver's door priority. THere's one problem though: the shock sensor isn't sensative enough.
I have the thresholds maxed out on both zones. When I pound the body next to the windshied, it'll go off, because that area is pretty coupled to the dash-frame, where I mounted the sensor. When I kick the front tire, it'll trigger sometimes. But when I kick the hell out of the front bumper, it won't go off. Directions say that mounting the sensor to a wiring-harness will give "unpredictable results", but would it at least be a little more sensitive? If not, I'm considering asking for another sensor from Crutchfield. What do you think?
Thanks,
Don Cab
