Hi Robert ! I have a 98 XC and the tail door opens very easily. I suspect your struts to be original and are getting weak. Even when week they hold a lot of pressure. Did you lube the rear wiper shaft yet ? It tends to get corroded and seize up. Try spraying some silicone lube on it.
Good Luck ! RK
