Default Accessing rear adjustable coilovers?

Hi guys,

I've recently had MCA blue fully adjustable coil-overs installed and its easy enough to adjust the fronts (simply pop the hood and turn the **** to desired stiffness) but I can't access the struts at the rear for the life of me!

I've removed pretty much all my pretty plastic bits in the boot but it looks like unless I put a hole in the body I have no easy access... I know my garage adjusted the rears initially stiff as f$*# and said to me to adjust fronts only cause its a pain in the **** to get to the rear coilovers, but its too stiff... Any help greatly appreciated!

You can cut a pair of holes , or just remove them, soften the stetting, and reinstall. Only two nuts at the top, and a nut/bolt on the bottom.

You definitely don't want to keep the hole open on a street car. Paint the edges with rustproofing primer and find a rubber plug to fit.
