I just recently had my car towed to the dealership and upon washing the car after the event, I discovered that I'm missing a "Support Lifting Platform". This guy:



When I tried to order one, I received a similar part, but the ridges on the sides were gone. I was told that they changed the design. Crazy as this sounds, I just want all four of them to match. Would anyone know where I can get the old style or would anyone be willing to sell me theirs? I'd pay any price. Ok, maybe not *any* price, but within reason. Help!

 

Wow - and I thought I was OCD....

Edit: sorry, that wasn't helpful

 

You could just order 4 of the new ones if your that concerned. Only $10 each...


Edit: I think I'm missing one as well. I'll double check under the car this weekend and see what version I have. If I have the "ridged for pleasure" model, I'll just order two of the new ones and and we can exchange. I'll keep you posted

 

That's what I call a Jacking Puck.

What year is your MINI?

That looks like the ones we've got on the '12, its a pretty useless design. I'd be glad to get a newer, better one. The older style had straight (not ribbed), thicker sides in a more robust material (nylon possibly). You could jack the car up with those and they were happy. The ones like you want would collapse when I used a jack on them. I had to invest in a jacking point pad (aluminium block) to be able to jack up the car.

I complained to the dealer when he was in for service, at first they said they wouldn't be covered under warranty, but then changed their mind and replace them as a "goodwill gesture". I just checked the replaced jacking pucks are the older, better design. I'm happy.

 

I switched them all to these:



Not only do they work better, they also look better than the old jack pads.

 

Yes, newer design and looks better with those.
