A damping control system for a vehicle having a suspension located between a plurality of ground engaging members and a vehicle frame includes at least one adjustable shock absorber having an adjustable damping characteristic. The method uses specially designed clips and obviates the need to use a ladder when attaching the linear systems to hard to reach locations. The cover remains substantially parallel to the wall as it travels between the closed and open positions. In addition, a plurality of rigid planar flanges, which are larger than the compliant tabs, extend radially outward from the body.
