Rear hatch does not stay up
My rear hatch on my 01 Ex does not stay open. Is there anything I can do for it to stay up without being propped up?

I just installed some over the weekend, super simple. I went with Oreily since they have the lifetime warranty.

Basically, anywhere. Local autoparts store or online, your choice.

If you have a 4x4, you can install the 2WD struts on it and get a little extra height on the hatch. They will both fit.

golfmedik is right, and it is very nice. Just make sure you don't open it in a low clearance place because it opens up pretty high. Low clearance is relative
