Do you permanently install these or do you just hope that if your car absolutely,positively must go to the dealer that the tech will care enough to use them?Anybody stick 'em on? :confused: :D

If they're permanently installed you'll have essentially no ground clearance under the pucks. I just keep them in a bag in one of the compartments in the back, then ask if the service dept has the official ones and offer mine if they don't know or I get a blank stare.

If you mounted them permanently you are in danger of tearing up your car if you happen to catch one of them on a curb or something whilst pulling into a driveway.

If your service technician does not know to use jacking pucks or their equivalent, you might consider a different service technician.

Umm, well, mine are as thick as 2 hockey pucks, because they're 2 hockey pucks epoxied together.

You do not want to permanently install these on your car. It would be dangerous (see post above), plus you would look like a goober

:D

What can I say? Install those pucks permanently and your friends will shun you.

Don't leave them on. They are not supposed to be there, and anything that can go wrong will go wrong :(
