hood struts S90-V90

The hood on my car would sometimes not stay in the open position but would
lower by itself. This becomes more pronounced when it's wet outside of
after a wash; I guess the hood struts don't like moisture. :) Is there
any kind of maintenance that could be done so that they would work
better, or are the struts as good as disposable? At this point I don't feel
like the inconvenience warrants me shelling out $75 or so for a new
pair (the price is from fcpgroton). They seem to hold better
in dry weather, and the latches on them seem to work ok. The car is
a 1998 V90 wagon.
Thanks,
Vlad
