    Default Rear Hatch Struts

    Is there a lock out on it that would keep the strut fully extended even with my 200lb trying to compress it?

    I opened the hatch last night and the strut was hanging by the hatch only so I took it off. When I have seen these fail generally they can no longer hold up the hatch, I have never see one get so stiff I cant compress it.

    Thanks for the insight.
