Default Power Rear hatch shocks

Anyone heard of them or seen them? i think it would be awsome, especially since when you upgrade the shocks to stronger ones, it becomes harder to close. Why not one that automatically can close at the push of a button!!!

I have never heard of them. I know Z1 makes a great rear hatch strut if you want to upgrade the strength and rigidity of your current struts.

Because no one wants to pay $1000 for hatch shocks.

This would actually be useful for me. If nothing else just having it spring loaded would be great. I know you can put pennies in the springs but it barely opens a crack on mine. Usually i need to lift the trunk while pressing the button.
