This does not pose a problem because the plastic is just a cover over the inner bumper. CROOKHOOK® will always have something tangible to grab on to. At the push of a button CROOKHOOK® can redeploy and be ready to grab ANY side of a suspect vehicle.

DOES CROOKHOOK® PICK UP THE BACK OF A VEHICLE?

ABSOLUTELY NOT! Attempting to lift a moving vehicle or even a stationary vehicle is extremely dangerous and puts enormous pressure on the underside of the vehicle. That amount of pressure would easily rip open a fuel tank or tear open a trunk bottom. CROOKHOOK® is designed with pressure sensitive technology to automatically exert just the right amount of pressure.

WHAT ABOUT CARS WITH FRONT WHEEL DRIVE OR POWERFUL V8 ENGINES?

Once hooked, powerful V8 engines with front or rear wheel drive do not have the ability to convert that power into traction. This will result in a smokey but futile effort to flee.
