Missing Jack Point?

fongpi · 08-06-2013, 02:50 AM

I'm missing that soft rubbery plastic jack point on the front drivers side. Is this something that easily comes off? I bought it used so I don't know whether or not the previous owner took it off or if or it if came off during operation.

Has anyone experienced this before?

Thanks in advance!

I've had to replace one that fell out before. No bid deal. It' a common item so I'm sure most dealers stock them. They pressure fit like those wall fasteners with a plastic collar and screw. You put it in place and press the post in the center, which spreads a collar for a pressure fit.

I was missing all 4 when I bought my car. Not sure why, but I just bought a new set, aligned them and shoved them in by hand. Then I used a jack to press fit them in until the were fully installed.

Seems like this is something that I should be able to get free of charge from the dealer as long as the car is under warranty right?
