Any way to adjust rear dampening without unbolting strut?

I was wondering if anyone has found a way to get to the upper strut of the rear suspension where most coilover dampening adjustment ***** are. I have a coupe with coilovers and I would love it if i could adjust the rear dampening without unbolting the strut. I have tried to search about this but couldn't get an answer. I know there is a thread about this for the newer sedans but not for the coupe. If anyone knows how to do it...let me know

what brand of coil overs do you have? Some like BC come with rear adjustment extension cables. The Tokicos even have this available. One idea i saw from a Z member was he drilled the hole in his rear paneling and left a long t-handled allen wrench in there the whole time.

Could always try that? Search my350Z in the DIY section.

I have Megan racing coilovers and they do have the extension cables. I didnt know how to get to it so i just tucked them in there. Does anyone know how to get to that enclosed space? Dont know if i should try from the trunk or the rear seats.

any other way besides drilling. I just spent an hour unbolting all the panels on the trunk and wiggling around in the back seat just to get frustrated.
