Small Jack to replace Crappy OEM?
Anyone know a small jack that I could replace the factory jack with? I was looking at the small canister type but doubt it would fit under the car if I had a flat.

While it sucks, it's "free".
I just went to my dealer this Friday and showed them my bent jack and asked them to replace it for free. They promptly ordered me a new one and I should have it on Wednesday. So, while I don't have an "aftermarket replacement" option -- there is an option.
I look forward to any aftermarket options that fit in the hatch in the stock location.
Good luck!

Broke another one
Husband is taking of the DRs for the season and he comes in..."Broke another jack!" WTF?? I just got the replacement a couple weeks ago!! Same situation. He loosened the nuts, lifted the car, wiggled on the tire a little bit, jack bent, car slid and ejected the jack from under the car. 
Nice huh?
He's refusing to use it ever again, even if I get it replaced.
So -- anyone got any good ideas to replace this piece of crap? We'll need a real working jack that's super low to get to the front tires.
I will be taking it back to Nissan again and tell them we're very upset at the quality, etc... we'll see what happens.
