There are so many variations of the lift method. I've heard doors open. Later I heard do nothing just put it on the lift. No doubt there is some body flex but if anybody has the REAL answer to this, please post it. I wanna know what's really going on.

He told me that he has always been instructed to remove targa, open hood, hatch and doors.


It's all Internet bullshit, probably created by an inept mechanic that didn't use the factory lift points.

Can you screw a C4 up lifting it? Yea, but it helps if your mechanic's a dork.

Mines been up numerous way on a lift (done by me) and been jacked up every way possible (done correctly). Doors open/closed but never with the targa out (why bother?).

There's also the thing about keeping the doors closed when shutting the hood, there could be damage this way but you'd have to slam the hood not close it from 2 inches.

BTW, if all this gives you worries, open the doors, take the top out, sleep better.
