How to change rear shocks on 380 SL

I just replaced the front shocks on my SL. Believe it or not, the originals were still on the car. Anyways. I also replaced the sway bar links/bushings and the subframe bushings. I did the subframes first and notice an improvement in the car's ride and handling. However after replacing the the front shocks and sway bar links, the car is all over the road. I am suspecting that the new parts in the front have made the bad parts in the rear, more noticeable. So, onto the rear shocks. How do you change these out. I can not for the life of me locate the upper mount point to get at the top nuts.
Any advice would be appreciated.
