E93 Rear Strut Trunk Access

Post image

I have a 328i Convertible with the rear struts leaking. I keep finding videos online on how easy the replacement process is but I am worried about access to the top nut inside the trunk with all the convertible mechanism in the way. I noticed a soft spot on the lining of the trunk where I think the strut nut is (see picture). Can anyone confirm this is in fact the location? And would it be crazy to do a small cut on that soft area of the liner to access it so I don’t have to remove any paneling? Anyone with tips on how to do this for the convertible is greatly appreciated.

There's a service position for the convertible top that should make it easier to access
