Removing Struts
I am attempting to swap out my own springs.
First how do i take off the plastic covering that is blocking the top bolts to the front struts? Also how do i gain access to the rear struts and i seem to see a rubber cap on top of the struts? Isn't there usually a bolt for the top to remove the strut cap? Thanks

As for the front im 99.9% sure the best way is to take off the wiper arms and take off that black plastic part that covers it. Back I think you gotta take the rear seats out to take off the side.

I haven't yet attempted to put in my strut bar but can't you get the wrench in under that plastic piece? does that plastic piece need to come off? I'm starting to think that I need pro help here, just to be on the safe side and to save some time.
