just got the call, the springs came in. they asked if i wanted to set up an appt and i explained to them its a really quick swap out, so they just said to pull up to the service bay and they'll replace them on the spot, woo hoo!

EDIT Update: got the springs...they look just like the original ones. im slightly confused because the ones shown by others on the forum looked larger? the part number is the same one posted in the original post and so far they seem to work...the only way i can explain it is that they used the original housing, but replaced the springs with a stiffer set. i tested it a few times and it works so far, and now it takes an extra push to close the hatch, before it would just drop and shut.

for those that recently got the new springs, do yours look just like the originals or are they different?
