Are jacking pucks supposed to stay on the car at all times, or only when jacking?
A little help please. Thanks 
- I have the DIY hockey puck style though
Do jacking pucks stay on the car?

I carry mine in the car. I do not leave them installed for fear of them falling out and damaging my car or some one else's. Why take the chance?

Carry them in the car with you so you have them when needed. I feel if they are mounted all the time that is more of a chance to lose them and also the drag issue over speed bumps.

The composite BMW pucks stay in place. They're not even easily removed w/o prying on the snap connection. Mine have been in place for over two years now.

I've forgotten to remove mine on more than one occasion and fortunately they were still there when I needed them again and couldn't find them in my tool box.
I would recommend as the others above, don't take a chance on loosing them and just put them in the back of the car after using them.
