I have a 1999 XC70 AWD and the rear hatch won't stay up. I assume I have to replace struts or shocks like on most hoods, trunks or hatches but they are not obvious on this model. I removed the plastic covers at hinges and still not obvious. I searched here and other forums but cannot find a post about this. Can anyone out there help please?

 

If you read the reviews on IPDusa for replacement tailgate lift supports other owners talk about it in detail. Plus IPD's customer service would probably assist you if you needed additional help, good luck.
