Is the triangle the small indent along that lip under the sill ?
I put a phnumatic jack up to it but I was worried about bending it off it I'd got the wrong area

I wouldn't put any other jack on it,
if you want to put a trolley jack somewhere - I put mine under the front wishbone mount (rear)
as for the rear axle I place it underneath the spring pocket near the damper mount, but that only lifts 1 wheel at a time obviously.
Do doubt i will get shot down in flames for that, tough

The ones for the rear look like they are in exactly the same place as for the previous Ibiza, ie, just inboard of the sill seam joint - there are two rubber/plastic hole "closers" there. That is where I have my daughter's car jacked up at on both sides - using a rubber interface to stop marking. I'd also place some blocks of wood under the spring cup as mentioned earlier. Just watch you don't crush the handbrake cables though as they are in that area.

Hum, I too have not spotted what should be the universal obvious indication for the location of the car jack. Maybe something that Seat forgot about on some cars!
My 10 plate Ibiza had the jacking point markings on the sill, but looking at my facelift model they do appear to be missing!
That said if you look at the sill, it is obvious where the reinforced sections are for jacking the car. But as has already been said only use the standard jack at these points.
I've always used my trolly jack on these points with no problems :S if I don't use them I use the front wishbone bush part or the rear beam/spring cups
get trolley jack, remove 'cup' on top. cut slot in remaining metal part to allow sill edge to sit inside, job done.
You work for a bodyshop?
The smart money is on buying an ice hockey puck, cutting it in half, then cut a slot in it - that is if you need to jack your cars up on the sill seam points.
Remember the slot that you have cut in the trolley jack's top mount is only to clear the sill seam, the claws/ring on that mount are now the only four/single small areas contacting the inner and outer sills - so they will be dented/punctured with time.
Personally I find there are enough rust/rot possible sites on these cars without creating some more.
