ECS Tuning Hatch Pop (need help)

[Pugs51]

Hey guys, my hatch pop hasn't been "popping" correctly. After a few weeks of using my hatch the passanger side hydraulics unscrews. I'm pretty sure it's the wrong length or something is faulty with it.

Here is the side that is attached to my hood. When it's all the way screwed at the side that's attached to the car there's still threading.

This is the side that comes unscrewed every now and then and scratches my paint. I don't really care because it's the inside of my car but still. I don't feel like fixing this so often.

Thanks for any help.

Besides it unscrewing, what is not working? If the struts are weak, it won't open properly. I would try some blue or green loctite on those threads and it will stop coming apart.

It works fine. But occasionally it comes unscrewed and needs to be fixed. But one of these times I won't notice and the hydraulic part will get closed in the hatch and ruin my paint.

i had the same exact issue with my ECS hatch pop kit. The strut unscrewed from the plastic connection and it damaged the inside of my hatch.
