I called the dealer to see how they raise the cars and they jack up right on the plastic piece. No jack pad. it looks like the bottom surface of the Reverselogic pad is smooth steel and I might think that with the steel jack cradle could easily slide off the underside of the jack pad. What's been your experience with the jack pad? I also saw someone else posted about using a hockey puck which seems reasonable since it will have some friction on both sides.
As far as the lug bolt guide goes, is one enough to do the job? Thanks.
