Default Adjusting rear Koni's, other tidbits

Where is the adjuster on the rear Koni sport shocks? I know you have to remove them but I looked all over from under and over them and didn't see how. Also does anyone know what I need to fix my cruise control? Just stopped working one day, think it's a sensor, not sure what part though.Also I need to replace the track for my sunroof, clips broke off the guide rail so the glass won't tuck as it tries to close so it will open back up, just wondering if it's an easy part to swap out or need my tech to do it.

for the rears all you need to do is turn the larger part of the shock once you remove it

you need to compress the strut assembly completely and then rotate the lower part or upper part depending on which side you compressed it upon. I usually rotate it to full stiff then rotate back from that either a half or full turn.

Does the shock need completely removed or can you just remove the top bolt and compress and turn from there?

you can remove the single lower bolt, or you can remove the 3 top bolts you just need to compress the unit completely to rotate it.
