Yes, the gas filled struts do wear (age) out and can then become sensitive to temperature swings before failing completely.
hatch struts
a week or so ago it got pretty nippy here in Florida and during that time I noticed how the hatch would not stay up/open. Then when it warmed up the hatch was normal.
Anybody ever have that happen (struts worn out)? Car is not that old, only has 44k miles.
