No access to damper adjustments rear coilover on top on 2011 G37S sedan??

This is for the guys with coil overs suspension with the adjustment ***** being on the top of the rear struts, how do you access the adjustment **** with out removing the rear struts? I've tried removing the trunk liner, can't see a thing, tried removing back seat as well, no luck. Design flaw from Nissan? Any info is appreciated, thanks!

You have to jack your car up depending on how your stance and height is and get your hand in there above the wheel, otherwise take the wheel off.


Or just get this

I had no luck here with the same question.

but basically you have to drop the strut unless you get electronic damping or those extensions.

Sedan? If so, you have to drill a hole to access them.

I wouldn't say it's a design flaw since these cars weren't made to have adjustable dampers in the first place.

Why do you need access to them more than once or twice to get things dialed in? If you change your driving enough for different suspension set ups I really suggest edfc or some other electronic option.

BC BR struts can be adjusted after removing the rear wheels. The adjuster **** is mounted on the side now.
