I use a hockey puck and it works very well with the side skirts. I got the idea from the local Porsche master tech so people have obviously been doing it that way for a while.

So if you use a hockey puck, the puck still touches part of the underside of the skirt in the rear portion, but doesn't deform it while lifting?

To give people without skirts on their cars an idea of why I'm concerned, below is a pic of one of my skirts being prepped for install, and you can see the rear of the skirt where there is a lot extending below the side sills under the car...

The hockey puck doesn't touch the skirts at all on my car.

Ok, thx. The jacking point is right next to the skirt on my car, so the puck would be very close to the skirt.
