Default hatch props???

ok so i switched my trans am's hatch. it had a formula hatch on it but i put a high rise trans am hatch on it and now my props won't hold it up. i know its a little more weight than the formula hatch but i didnt think it would be a problem. i took the props off and tryed to compress them and i couldn't so im pretty sure they're good. so i guess my question is does the trans am hatch require a stronger hydrolic prop than the formula hatch? sorry for any spelling or grammer errors. thanks in advansed -brett.

Just get some new hatch props. Yours are probably worn out from years of use, even though you cant compress them with your hands.
