W126 Jack Points
 
Are there any other safe places to jack the car up besides the four rubber-padded points?

I have a hard time believing that no one knows the answer to this.

Well, it is Father's day....

Rear: differential.

Front: crossmember under the oil pan.

If they are not rusted you can jack them up using those front fame rails that come down right behind the jack pads. But on rust belt cars don't be surprised if they crush right up, my SD did that...

The best way to lift a corner is as stated above by Hatteras. Take you factory supplied jack and stuff it into one of those little holes and crank away. While you are doing it listen for crunching noises.

I know it is the slowest method but I always use the factory jack in the jack holes then I put a jack stand under it with a 2x4 on top to spread out the weight. I had a tire store start to lift my car under what looks like a frame near the front jack holes and it started to bend before I could tell them to stop. No bad damage but I am very pickey about how my car is jacked/lifted etc.
