The colder it gets the more the gas in the shocks compress so therefore it causes less resistance and will not hold open the hatch. When it is warmer the gas expands and causes more pressure against the shocks which will hold open the hatch. And that hatch is heavy, I have had my shocks off before and you think that it can't be that heavy but trust me it does require your attention. __________________ custom dual exhaust,M3 front and rear bumper, 10.4 inch roof mount drop screen, Viper alarm system, DSII's rims, M3 Vader Seats, M3 Mirrors, Carbon Fiber CAI, Smoked Corners, Side Markers, Leatherz armrests, black grilles 225k miles and still the Ti goes on |
