Mine work because I spent the $40 to fix them. All I have to do is start to lift the hatch and it goes up by itself.
I used the stick too until I fixed them. I used to use vise grips on my CRX until i almost broke my arm when the visegrips popped off and the hatch fell.
Another trick is to extend the arms all the way and then put a SLIGHT bend in it. Just pull the center of the arm towards you to put a small bend in it. Then when you want to close it just push the arm forward in the center while lowering the hatch.
