all of a sudden, the hatchback door is slamming shut after a few seconds of staying up/open. Whacked me on the head! ARGH

Can I fix this myself?

Yeah, the struts are worn out. Super easy to do yourself. Check YouTube for videos on how to do it.

Here's where I got mine: www.LiftSupportsDepot.com

Just know when searching, don't select Forte. For some reason the hatchback is listed under Cerato (that's what the Forte is called in other countries).

The part number you want is PM1034 $49 for the pair.
