Run your hand underneath the car behind the front wheel and in front of the back wheel about 5 inch deep from the side of the car you will feel 2 prominent depressions, you shouldn't miss them. This is where the car jack fits. Also it is about 7-8 inches from the frame of the car behind the front wheel and 8-9 inches from the frame of the car in front of the back wheel.

There is no plastic covering. If you are feeling any plastic part this is not it. You should feel solid metal. This is on the chassis of the car not the frame. As I mentioned in the previous post it is about 5 inch deep from the side of the car underneath.

This is the same in all cars. Look for the two notches in the weld seam. The jack jaw goes between the notches and the welded seam goes in the jack jaw.
I have used the jack and keep a piece of cardboard with the jack, that I put between the jack and the bottom of the car. I do this to protect the paint. Don't want the paint to come off there and rust to start.
