96 Legacy Outback. I'll ask this stupid question before I break the plastic panel to access the top of the rear struts on my wife's car. I get that there are clips aound the permiter of the panel which I got loose yesterday. But, there appears to be a bolt or screw holding it too which may have some sort of cap cover on it.

 

HELP!

 

(It is so much better to look stupid here than to break her part and put up will all the hassle that would bring.)

There is plug that pushes into the cap/panel that can be pried out with a screwdriver (or fancy trim tool, if you have one). That will let you take off the plastic cap that covers the top of the strut.
