I think Cliff is right. Just installed Ami's new hood support strut and new hatch rods.

The hood opens with light lift effort until the half way point.. Then it raises up ALMOST on its own.

The hatch immediately pops open and lifts smoothly to full extension.

Hardest part was finding a tool to remove the old clips from the ends of the gas struts. But, using a jewlers screwdriver they popped out easily. The new struts (2-hatch struts, one hood strut) snap right in place - EASY-PLEASEY.
