OK. I can see the jacking block. Now I just need to figure out how to get my fat ass into a position where I can actually get the jack onto it. Unfortunately, my garage is not the best garage for working on cars. I have maybe a foot in front of and behind the car, and I backed it in because at least I can open the garage door to get more space to work under the hood.

As stated & shown the lifting point is the centre lifting pad to the rear of the fuel tank, the stands would be placed under the triangular shaped structural support just in front of the trailing arms at the chassis end.

lol I have 2 Caddys, They just fit. It is nice when I work on something smaller because I can walk in front of AND behind

LOL, I have a one car apartment garage but that hasn't stopped me from getting things done. Just need to get creative! I like having the front end towards the garage door. The daylight helps out alot in helping me see things under the hood.

Hey guys. I apologize for not posting the pictures for the staples/tack strip reinforcement. I did travel to Botswana last December/January. Sad to say, I had an accident. But it wasn't a write off. I'll discuss it in my own thread. I took a couple of pictures to show the reinforcement, but I was so down, I didn't have the will to remove the plastic piece to expose the tack strip. It's an involved process that requires reaching inside behind the back seat to undo 3 screws. I just didn't have it in me. So, the pictures are not very clear, but I hope you can make out the metal strip under the plastic, enough to understand the concept. I have a strip at both c-pillars, and another by the 3rd brake light. Make sure the metal is filed/sanded smooth so it doesn't cut the top. Guys, I apologize for the delay, and for not removing the plastic covers to expose the tack strip. I didn't use stainless staples, and so they did rust. And I didn't apply the butyl sealant over top of the seam like I should have. So, reinforce the seam with metal strip, then add the butyl sealant, or whatever you choose to use to make the seam water tight. I hope this helps guys. Mabuza.
