Trunk lid struts do not hold when it is cold

Wow, seems like a widespred issue. The trunk bonked me in the head at least three times. I would not be surprised if someone gets seriously injured.
BTW, I see that most of the guys reporting here have 04 cars. Mine is also 04. Maybe Nissan has fixed this in the latter years?

These dampers wear out in all cars, ive replaced them in probably half of the cars ive owned. There are cheaper alternatives than the dealer. Most auto stores sell generic ones of various sizes and they are way cheaper.

Maybe we should just remove the rear windsheild wiper and motor to reduce the weight of the hatch... I've been thinking about that. Looks better too

same here and ive removed the rear wiper, motor and hatch weight. It should pop open easily but it doesnt. The springs need more force!

My hatch fell on me last night too, only when it's cold though.
