What am I missing???

O.K., so more than a guessing game I want to find out what's the name/part number of the part/parts I'm missing. Last weekend when looking at the jacking points in front of the back tires, I noticed that the passenger side has a plastic black "square isolator" with what looks to be a bolt in the middle. When I went under the driver's side, that "square isolator" was missing, and there was a hole in the middle of where the place is supposed to be. Please look at the photos as if you were looking under the car at the jacking points in front of the rear tires.

Thanks

Yup, the jack point blocks come off some times.
You can either get more at the dealer (or Classic MINI for a discount) or you can get better ones from TSW.

From: Washington. No, the other one.
btw, there's no bolt in them. They just snap in. And snap out, apparently.

Seems to be part number 51717039760
I always doubt have those jack points... Can we really trust those to jack the car on the 4 corners and remove the wheels? It's only plastic after all...

Thanks, I'll send Jason at Classic MINI the part# along with those same photos and see if he can get it.

Honestly it's the first time I encounter myself with a plastic jacking point.

Did you ever get that replaced? If so, how much was the damage?

I replaced one of these lift blocks recently, I think the part was about $20 at the dealer.

Yup, it's not a big deal, got mine from Classic MINI and installed it in about 3 mins.

Thanks
