My hatch struts don't help with the first 1/2" pop open.

Also, my high pressure struts are settling a bit, it's still difficult to close. (EVERYONE. I close my hatch my pulling on the latch! If you put your hand on the outside you will not have this problem...)

You are awesome. I started using the latch after I read that.

There's a couple perks of having lived in 3 Z cities, being a member of this forum for... 4-5 years... And knowing more members than most other members, lol

I learned that trick from a friend back in Dallas. May his 40th RIP. THE CLEANEST car I have ever seen. Ever. He would NEVER lay a hand on his hatch

LoL..that's how I close mine too. I'm getting the Amuse spoiler, and I may have to get the High pressure struts. So it may be so long to closing my trunk that way now.
