ive always wondered how fragile these things are, any chance you can get some pics?


and it might be covered by warranty worth bringing it to the dealer and showing tho.

Are they in the same spots? Do they have any sort of impact points,or do they look like stress cracks?

Sounds like you high-centered it on something. I've crawled over some pretty large curbs... and jacked the car up several times... no signs of cracks in the skirts.

The side skirts are pretty flexible. I crushed mine by accident last night when I didn't set the feet on the rear of the hoist to high. The arms bent them pretty good but I noticed right away and let it back down.

Personally, I'd say someone cracked yours putting them up on a hoist.
