Rear Hatch Trouble

Rear Hatch Trouble
Guys,
Is it normal for the rear hatch when you lift the handle and unlatch it not to pop outward a little? You have to pull the hatch open with a great deal of force to get is moving upward?
It's the weight of the door I am feeling not sticking seals from weather sitting ect.
The struts hold the hatch up fine and don't seem weak at all.
I was even thinking of adding compression springs in the jambs.
Thanks for any help in advance.
