The struts looked like they were done so I ordered some on Rock Auto (Monroe brand struts) and changed them myself, which was very easy to do, took about 5 minutes. Lo and behold, it still didn't stay up for some reason... Now I thought maybe the cold weather broke the original ones, but it's now -4 celsius outside, not that cold, and the new ones still aren't working. Is there another reason why the hatch wouldn't stay up? Did I receive some broken parts? Are the new ones not the good model, or not strong enough? Model number of the Monroe struts is 900218.

I received the one for the hood instead of the hatch, so of course they are not strong enough to support the hatch door. I'll have to order new ones...
