Coilover Access Holes in Rear Cargo Area

axio

I've done it. If you search here you'll see some clean installs. Mine came out so-so. I basically guessed where it was, and I was close enough. I had to make the holes larger anyways so the BC ER Coilover adjustment attachment would have enough clearance. Basically marked the spot on some blue painter's tape, took a hand drill and made a hole, tested it out, took it off again and used a dremel with a bit to enlarge the hole little by little. I was left with an irregular looking hole, so to fix that I went to a hardware store and bought some black rubber washers. They cover up the hole perfectly.

For the cable, I cut it down to somewhere between 1" to 2", I can't remember exactly. The knob sits slightly above the rear plastic but works fine. I didn't want to leave a long cable just flopping around back there.

You can pick up edge trim in black that might fit around the rough edge of the hole that was cut. I used this stuff for other plastic parts on a previous car I had to cut. Cleaned up the edges very nicely. Tap Plastics is where I bought mine but this is an example (this company has black as well).
