I would like to get a jack pad... Anyone knows if the Protech Sidelift Jack Pad works well with the SQ5?

The Q5 has half circle shaped pocket jack points? Where are they?

Hmm... I have one of these that I used on my old A4 many years ago. I was hoping I could also use it on the Q5, but I haven't even checked yet what the lift points look like...

Yep... that's the one I use. Works great. It straddles the rail and does no damage.

Thanks.

But then what is jinwa talking about? Does the Q5/SQ5 have these circular lift indents as well?

Why just not use a rubber pad and not worry about wrapping the pinch weld. They cars are designed to be picked up by the pinch welds, I certainly do with my lift and pretty much all dealerships do (if they are using scissor or 2 post lifts).
