Wheel Woolies or Microfiber Barrel Blades?

Actually yes, to me it looks like your picture is showing the pinch weld and the opening in the rocker cover where you would jack. I generally use a polyurethane jack pad with a slot in it, but that isn't always the greatest. I have a rubber one but that doesn't fit in one of my cars. I think the manual depiction is pretty accurate if you know what you're looking for.

However, where you have your jack in the other picture, which looks to be the engine cradle, is fine, also. Not sure what you did at the back, though.

Sounds like you’re much better at that than I am. I’ve dealt with bent rocker panels & fenders before, not by my doing but things that happened with previous owners and I’ve been somewhat spooked ever since. Seems like 1 wrong move could spell disaster and that would just kill it.

I use a generic one I got off Amazon and it isn't too bad. If nothing else, it avoids metal-on-metal contact. On pinch welds it distributes the weight a little better and on flat surfaces I feel it give a little more stable surface. I'd be afraid of something slipping off.

I have one car with a small opening in the rocker, and the polyurethane pad of the diameter that will fit in there, the slot isn't deep enough, pinch weld cuts into the pad, blah blah.

That isn't terrible if you go in knowing the pad will get chewed up a bit. The pad I use has the same problem and after a few uses it is chewed up a bit already. However it was under $20 for pair and I'll just toss it when it gets too bad.

I've seen people cut their own blocks out of hockey pucks or use them straight and just let the weld cut the puck.

Sure, it's a wear item. Ha, hockey pucks, I remember that from the old days before everything was a click away at Amazon.
