Are the hatchback lift pistons suppose to be strong enough to automatically lift the hatch open once you pop the lock?

Mine are strong enough to hold it open but they wont lift it on their own.

The amount of lift or even hold you get from the hatch lift cylinders is very much affected by age and temperature. The older and colder they are, the less lift they generate.
