Haven't had the car long enough to know what's normal. The tailgate has always been a bit difficult to open. It will, however, support it's own weight when open. In fact, it will support it's own weight when opened only to chest height.

I took out the cylinders and they are both solid. I was expecting one to be shot.

So is this normal, or do I have two slightly weak struts? Will they get progressively worse?
