After the above, the only other thing that could prop up the hatch is the spring-loaded/bumpers that are on the stock hatch that help it to jump up when you hit the hatch release. I actually don't use them for my Mastergrade hatch as they force it upwards too much. I don't use them at all.

Good Luck.

I just used the stock shocks even though it could take ur teeth out if u stood too close. Since
@ that time there were no 'soft' shocks as they have now. Don,t know the name brand but I'm
Sure u could ask around.

FYI to others, the stock shocks can crack your CF. I learned the hard way and it sux a$$
