      if you look on the side molding youll see 2 arrows on each side those are the jacking points so theyd also be good for jack stands

        those pinch wells get bent if you do it there.

        those arrows are for where to put the in-trunk jack...

        the jack has a groove in it so that it does not slide when it scisors up.

        I would NOT put my jack stands there....

            I put mine right under the arrows as well with no problem. If anything just cut out the grooves if youre worried about it.
            Make me a signature and ill put it in here...

              I just insert it into the spot that looks right.

                Just got a G6 coupe and planning on working on her myself, got the same question around jacking and jack stand placement. I've jacked up another car on the pinch weld before, and placed jack stands there, but it did bend it a bit (wifes car). I have an adapter for the floor jack that cradles the welded flange, but the stands don't have any such slot cut into them. Is it really safe to keep the car's weight on just the very edge of the welded flange? (terminology might be a bit off here). Anyone have a pic to better illustrate? I know what the manual says, but they also are referring to the spare tire jack and not to placing stands, so it's not really the same.
