That is a good idea, my eclipse shocks are history, my aftermarket wing is too damn heavy, when I get it repainted I will take the wing off, I use a breaker bar to prop the damn thing open,

I noticed that my Z when I didnt open it quite all the way it would fall back down, now I know why, It wasnt doing this before, it just started happening. I dont want to use the vise grips on the z too getto, its okay on the eclipse, just another ricer thing.

Forty-two degrees you say? It was 21 when I left for work this morning. If I had to get in my hatch for any reason....one word- guillotine. Very funny title, though- I was expecting clubs, knives, ect. lol

air pressure.. they work off air pressure.. when it's cold the air compresses and it doesnt hold well.

that was funny!

same $hit happened to me and it nearly knocked me out.

Hey little dude, I am italian + irish and I am 6'2" 200lbs so I don't think it was the heritage that got you, maybe it was one of those little guys that jumped outa the little car in the circus that your mom liked so much!

My hatch fails to fully unlatch itself sometimes when it's cold and I have to tap the button again while pulling upward with my other hand.

Is it the cold weather that weakens the shocks/compressed air thingies? Are there stronger and compatible ones to upgrade to?

I also have a larger aftermarket rear spoiler adding weight.

I think the Z was trying to knock some sense into you. Since your car has it in for you, I suggest using jack stands if you ever work under your car.

I had the dealership replace the hatch stays, they did it under warranty.

Free advice, fix it now, it only gets worse from here.
