Awesome, guys that get 'em, please post up your thoughts on them!

I'm curious on how they affect closing the hatch, do they make it harder to close?

Will it put undue stress on the hatch soft-close mechanism?

At best they will let me know when the hatch-release button on the remote has been inadvertently pressed while the FOB was in my pocket - better than a dead battery!!!

That won't happen as your interior lights will shut off after about 20 minutes.

I wonder if you could just buy a set of springs from somewhere like McMaster Carr?

I am getting one of those. I replaced the original shock and my hatch is still going down hard.

I saw these a while ago. I was concerned they were too good to be true.
