00:00If you've ever jacked up a car and watched that thin metal lip under the doors start to fold,
00:04you already know why these little rubber pads exist.
00:07That lip is called the pinch weld, and it's surprisingly easy to crush with a bare floor jack.
00:12So I spent way too long scrolling through listings and pulled together the best deals I could find
00:17on the top 5 rubber pinch weld protectors for jacks, and trust me, one of these should live
00:21in every trunk. First up is the floor slotted car jack rubber pad frame protector, and honestly
00:27the numbers do the talking here, it's got a perfect 5-star rating from close to 5,000 buyers,
00:32which is almost unheard of in this price range. The slotted groove sits right over the pinch weld
00:37so the jack presses on the frame instead of bending that delicate lip, and it's listed for Lexus,
00:42Subaru, Fiat, and Volvo owners. At just $6.45, it's the kind of cheap insurance that saves you
00:49from an expensive body shop visit, this one earns its spot at number 1. Next is the floor slotted
00:55car jack rubber pad with the Model 3 in the name, and if you drive a Tesla, this is the
01:00one you'll
01:00probably want to grab. It's built around that same slotted design, but it's shaped with the
01:05Model 3's jack points in mind, so it seats cleanly instead of slipping around. It's got a 4.8 rating
01:11with about 4,900 sold, and at $7.66 it's a tiny price to pay to protect a car that
01:18costs a whole lot
01:19more. If you've been nervous about lifting your Tesla, this pretty much removes the worry.
01:24Coming in third is the universal rubber jack pad support with two styles in one listing,
01:29and it's the cheapest pick on this whole list at just $5. The nice part is you get to choose
01:34the style that matches your frame rails, so it covers a wider range of cars without you having
01:39to guess. It's sitting at a solid 4.7 with over 4,600 sold, which tells me people keep coming
01:46back for
01:46it. If you just want a no-nonsense, budget-friendly protector that does the job on a daily driver,
01:52this is your move. Fourth is another universal rubber jack pad support, and this one's the
01:58versatile all-rounder, same slotted, frame rail-friendly design, no fancy branding or car-specific
02:03fitment, just a simple chunk of rubber that grips and protects. It's rated 4.6 across roughly 3,900 sales,
02:10and the price is right in the middle at $5.66. It'll happily handle your jack,
02:17your jack stands, or a quick roadside tire change. If you own more than one car and want
02:22one pad that works on all of them, this is a smart, low-risk pick. And rounding out the top
02:285 is the
02:28floor-slotted car jack rubber pad from WorldPi, built for the Model 3 with that same protected pinch
02:34weld slot. WorldPi has built a name for making these little garage accessories, so if you like buying
02:41this is a good option, it's rated 4.7 with around 3,800 sold. The price is $7.69, basically
02:49the same
02:50as the others, so you're choosing on fit and brand preference more than cost. Still a great buy,
02:55and a solid way to close out the list. There you have it, 5 simple, cheap ways to stop your
03:00jack from mangling your car's pinch welds. All the links to every single one are down in the
