Has anybody tried to replace the struts/dampers on the rear liftgate with higher rated units so that it does raise automatically as soon as it's unlocked ("popped" open)? Or would that risk banging at the top of the liftgate's travel? I know, sounds crazy, but I just wonder if a $20-$40 part substitution would achieve a similar result.
