Hatch not staying open! HELP

My Hatch isn't staying up.

I crawled all over the FAQ and couldn't find anything.

Is there any way i can adjust the supports?
THANX

You probably need to replace them..

They hold a great deal of pressure and
in time all of it leaks out..

Yeah, replace your hatch struts. The dealer wants a pretty penny for them, but Stabilus (Manufactured by Sachs) makes an after market one that is really nice. Should be able to find them for around $25 each or so.

Here's the part number -

or from Stabilus
