No really, the pinch welds are surprisingly weak. Lots of people have already spoken up claiming bent ones and I can do the same. I've never seen one looking to fold over so easily. They respond horribly to being lifted without the surrounding support that the emergency jack in the trunk has. That's why that piece of crap can do anything, really think about it for a second and pull it out and look at it if you don't understand.

To reiterate, the surrounding support such as the flyin miata adaptor, welded fitted tops or slotted hockey pucks are what prevent your pinch welds from bending. They cannot take rotational stress. There are enough people here with bent ones to pay attention. Do not jack the vehicle up from the pinch welds without the aforementioned supports. Use the standard front and back points.
