Default Hatch door does not stay up

Hello all,
I'm throwing this question out there. I’m curious to see if others have the same issue I have with my xA. Only in cold temperatures my hatchback door will not stay up.
Does anyone else share the same issue I have with their hatch door not staying up in colder temperatures?

Thanks.

Thanks. It's 40 right now. It can get down around the low 30's at night. The hatch will not stay up at all at these temps. If it's around 50 the hatch will stay up and creep down on its own and shut itself in 15-20 seconds. After the holidays I'll bring it to the dealer. It was the same last winter (the first winter I owned my xA) and frankly I should have taken care of it then.

The gas struts are bad.... If you are still under warranty, that's just one of those thangs....
