Ive had a new set of shocks for my vert sitting in my garage for a while and was thinking about putting them on this weekend but for the life of me cant find where the top bolt is and any advice on changing the stock shocks on a vert?

Should be in the trunk area behind the plastic cover that hides the top pump.

What I did was remove the plate across the back of the back seat and pull the top well vinyl up so it was kind of loose. Then you can feel around and find the tops of the rear shocks. It really isn't that difficult, it just takes some patience.

Was trying to decide the best way to describe it. I could easily show you, but wythors hit on a good one.

You can get to them in the trunk. You'll need to remove the top and side panels and look waay up towards the back seat panel near the floor.

You'll find them.
