Why use pinchwelds for a jack point when they get damaged so easily when the subframe is so easily accessed?
Putting on the winter rubber
Looks kind of quiet in the Canadian forum so thought I'd say hi to everyone. I found GM-Volt a few weeks ago and been having a good time reading stories going back at least 3-4 years.
Has for me, I just bought a 2nd Gen Volt a month ago and am just getting around to putting on the new winter rubber.
Here's a tip that might help people not crush their pinch welds. Many years ago I bought this jack cup saddle for my GF's Subaru. It's not deep enough for the Volt so I modified it. A second benefit is to push the back half of the saddle (left in the pic) well under the pad.

Let me know if you give a try and it works for you.
