I guess someone should suggest/request it from a mod, I think there's a thread for that. . .
Ya. That kind of sucked. Same thing happened to me, but after some frustration, I was able to figure it out........

No issues with my vert, thus far. ::knock on wood:: A convertible forum would be nice.

There is a suspension "brace" on the undercarriage that reinforces the frame on the vert. It is an "X" configuration under the car, and occupies one of the two pinch-weld zones available for lifting the car, creating the problem of where to place the safety stand if the available pinch weld is used to lift the car.

I was very hesitant to place a jackstand in the area that has the structural reinforcement, since its not a flush, solid surface. I used a 2 ton jack on the rear (it has a smaller "V" shaped contact point that fit well around the reinforcing brace) and a 3 ton on the front wheels (its a larger 'bar' to span).

Has worked fine so far.

Never hurts to have our own place for certain issues. Also cleans up the forum.

Same issue here but on driver side. Waiting on a fix before I take it to the dealer and let them hunt for it....

No issues until yesterday. Went by the dealer and they are ordering the parts but say it may be a symptom of something else with the top mechanism. Going in next week to find out and get it fixed.
