JuniorDee · 01-02-2009, 03:56 PM

I recently damaged the plastic jack points on my car and bought replacements. Does anyone know how to remove the plastics jack points?

Small cats paw or flat head screwdriver, pry down until the plastic clips on the inside of the jack pads break. That's how they removed mine when they strapped it down for dyno.

what happen to the broken clips, will it roll around and make all sort of noise in that area?

how much did your replacements cost? and where did you buy them from?

Thanks.

I ordered 4 from crownauto.com for $47.96 with shipping. I also order the jack pad adapter from ecstuning.com so I do not wreck the new ones.

oh, I will try the screwdriver method but the side trim on the car is very close to the jack point. I will most likely try to drill through the exsisting pad so that I can easily snap off the old one.

did they break from lifting the car without the adapter?

JuniorDee · 01-06-2009, 11:37 AM

basically. I was used the wrong kind of jack and parts of the points are crushed. Learned my lesson, i will replace and never have the problem again.

I received the adapter in the mail yesterday, its very nice. Its machined from aluminum and painted black.

I jacked my car up almost 6 times in one month, and my pads are beyond destroyed

JuniorDee · 01-07-2009, 03:06 PM

The whole thing came out as one piece (with the clips broke) no noise.

I got the adapter from ECS as well - nice tool, worth the 20+ bucks. They were pried off parallel with the frame - didn't come close to the trim.

Hmmm... The part I ordered, I called the local dealer and asked him what car was the part number for, he said e92.

Wierd that there are different part numbers for the same thing.

Mine's an e90 - maybe that's the difference? I can't imagine that these would actually be different parts for e90 v e92, maybe just the numbering system?

i replaced 2 of the 4 jack points yesterday. I uesd a drill to drill through the plastic to removed the clips. It wasnt a 30sec job as I had hoped, it took a few minutes. I will post a few pic of the old and new jack points tomorrow.
