So I tried pulling down on the latch ring as per your suggestion.I don't know what the strut pressures are,one finger pulling down on it ain't going to do it,& I'm in pretty good shape.It actually feels quite heavy when I close it by hand.Maybe the strut is too new,but this is one tight hatchback.We used to install several of these on new helicopters when I was working.Each cabin ,baggage and sub doors had different working pressures and part numbers as denoted by the last three numbers of the strut part number so we knew which strut went on each door with reference to the parts and maintenance manuals.The clear tape is paying dividends.
