Wondered about that.

With regard to struts, note that there's a short clearance version of the
struts available from the dealer. Unless your garage is height challenged, I
wouldn't recommend them. The hatch lifts just to a point where a 5'6" person
will bang his head on it :)

OTOH, my wife doesn't smash her hatch into the raised garage door anymore...

...and she's only 5'4"
