Hatch struts?
I took delivery of my 2007 in March. It has 95K miles.
My question is when I pop the hatch open, how far up should the hatch rise? Mine pops up about an inch. I can lift it and close it easily. My '94 Vette popped fully open.

sounds normal to me, usually the hood ones go first and you gotta watch your head!

A few years back, I was checking something on my'05, and a sudden gust knocked the hood shut on me and darn-near gave me a concussion. Went right to AutoZone and got a new pair.
