I searched and came up with nothing. I'm putting coilovers on my convertible and am having trouble getting to two of the top strut bolts in the rear. Is there a trick to getting to these?

I got them in. I had to remove the damper knobs. I did it without taking out the seat.

You must have done it through the trunk.

No I had to reach in under the bottom boot that the top sits in while its down. I t was a huge pita. Two of the upper strut mount bolts could only be loosened one click at a time with a ratcheting wrench. It sucked.
