Are your windows rolled down when this happens? I've got a 2000 and the same thing happens to me but only when I leave my window cracked, I think the wind funneling through the crack creates enough force to trigger the alarm.

Not sure if you guys have this feature, but on the driver's door pillar is a button that lets you turn off the inside motion sensors. It's next to the "trunk lid" button and if you push it, then close the door and lock the car it will temporarily disable the motion sensors. With the windows open, the motion sensors will get tripped unless you push that button first.

I used to have the same problem until I figured out what that button was for.
