Try Autozone...Pep Boys.....but if there are no aftermarket manufacturers then you will have to go to a dealer unless you want to chance a salvage yard or trying Ebay.
yes
The hatch is held up by gas struts on either side. When it won't stay up the struts most likely have lost their gas pressure and need to be replaced. Pretty Simple Job. You can buy the parts at the dealer or from many sources over the net.
not hard at all,you will need a spring compressor
Sounds like you need new struts.
To replace the front struts on a 2000 model Hyundai Sonata, you will first need to remove the tires. There will be 3 nuts on top of the strut mount. You will need to remove the 2 bolts that connect from the strut to the knuckle. Then you will need to remove the ABS sending unit as well as the front brake hose. Once these components are removed, you can remove the strut. In order to remove the strut, you will need a special tool to compress the spring. Once the struts are removed, you can safely replace them with new struts.
the struts are probably bad and need to be replaced. you can get them at almost any auto parts stores
The struts need to be changed every other year.
in the trunk, left rear, there is a panel there pull it off. the jack has a mount you need lower the jack to get it out.
you need to fit new gas struts the black telescopic arms on each side,prop it wide open with a post or a hoist to hold it up before you take one off You need to replace the 2 pneumatic struts that hold the hatch open. The parts are available from Volvo or IPD, and is a 10-15 minute job. Very easy to do..
