Rear Hatch Struts

[88Retired62]

Purchased a pair of new OEM struts from the dealer in 2010 and stored the in the garage for future use. Pulled them off the shelf yesterday and too bad, so sad…they’re frozen in time…stuck in place and unable to compress. Any solution or recommendations for decent aftermarket or NOS/OEM replacements?

They don't compress? Should take over 100 pounds of force to collapse on. Have you installed them?and they don't compress or trying by hand.
