    Searched for pics/location of cutting rear strut access hole and using a 2012+ cover plate.
    Any pointers/links?

    Thanks,

    Jay

    Bad luck sometimes with plastic snapping.
    I did the front w/o ripping out the wipers etc.
    using a straight 11" ratchet box wrench.
    Thanks for asking.

    The tool is actually 12" long and flat.
