Factory alarm sensitivity



My owners manual just tells me to change modes.

Working on getting a pic now but my sensor just has a dial on it with a sticker that says it was set from the factory at the legal requirements
 


Why would you want it more sensitive? Mine used to go off all the time randomly. Shaking from the wind would set it off, I kicked my bumper because I was pissed at the car and that set it off, etc. I just disabled mine completely.
 
^ Thats the thing, it sounds like some are more sensitive than others from the factory which has me confused. I would like to increase the sensitivity on my 04, but I have no clue where to begin.

Does anyone know what way on the factory shock sensor makes it more sensitive? Cw or counter Cw?

Turn it all the way clockwise and bang on the outer A-pillar and see if it sets it off. If is doesnt, then you know turning it clockwise is turning down the sensitivity. And to test fully, turn it all the way counter cw and drop a leaf on the hood.

I want to find a happy medium that's more sensitive but not so sensitive. I also want to make more use out of it with school starting and and wouldn't mind It if it went off everytime some idiot opens their door hard enough into it cuz even me carefully parking last year I still got a handful of dings and scratches. I even went out to my car to find another car literally touching my front bumper one day. That's why. And I know it won't be a perfect deterrent to all this but just wanna step it up
