Ah yeah, pretty much the same as the Koni's in my car, they have the rebound adjuster at the top of the strut.

I spent some good money getting the right tools to make sure that I wouldn't damage the seals or the piston in the strut, kind of sad to see a lot of people using rattle guns to tighten up the top hats (namely guides and videos on the internet).
Mitch is more than welcome to borrow this equipment if needed.

Bob @ WW once tightened up the coilovers I had to the OEM strut tops by using the weight of the car to prevent the piston from moving, then rattled it down.
Never had an issue with them after the fact.
