Here's my blow by blow experience adjusting dampers front and rear.
I started with the rear wheel. You pull the wheel bolt cover with a tool provided in the tools which is included in the tray under the floor of the frunk.
Insert the tool into the wheel bolt cover with the tab towards the center of the wheel.
Then give it a good pull/yank. Be prepared to catch the cover. It's metal and you wouldn't want it scratched.
Inside/back of the cover.
There's nothing fancy about the jack points. At each jack point there's just a heavy gauge piece of steel sticking down only about a half inch below the plastic covers. It's not at all like it shows in the user manual.
There's nothing on the jack that fits into some sort of receptacle as indicated by a sketch in the user's manual. There is a cradle in the provided, emergency-use jack which, obviously is supposed to be centered on the jack point.
I didn't use the provided jack; I used a floor jack I have.
The wheel bolts use a 19 mm socket. As is standard practice, you use a breaking bar to loosen the bolts a tad before lifting the vehicle. I did so, jacked up the vehicle until there was about a half inch clear under the tire, pulled the bolts, and pulled the wheel. Easy peasy.
