Default RE: Hatchback Gas Struts

Hi All,

Just after your own thoughts / experiences with the Gas Struts in the Hatchback. The car is now almost 3yrs old and I am looking to finalise any issues to take to Ford and get fixed / replaced under warranty.
I understand that the rear hatch is a very heavy piece of work, however I am concerned that the Gas Struts could be on their way out...

When I open the hatch, I have to lift the boot upwards. From about 160cm above ground level (top of boot lid / brake light etc.) It holds its own weight (just), however above that height around 160cm - 180cm it will take the hatch all the way up. Under 160cm and the Gas Struts will not hold at all and the hatch just slams shut.

How does this compare to others out there?
