Jack plug is a decoration until you are on the side of the road in BF nowher=
e and you only have the issued jack!  Just have to use standard jack very ca=
refully and not let the car roll ending up with a dented door.=20

However the jack plug hole is more difficult to reproduce than a smooth pane=
l.  Either way a rocker is a lot of work to repair and make look nice.  Year=
s ago I just grafted one in from donor car.  That's the easy method.=20
