Default Canopy Pressure gas springs

For any application, ambient temp has an impact on function.
Example, wife's car, cool days (older gas struts), opening (rear hatch or hood) would slowly close to a point, then slam shut.
Warm/hot day in sunlight, same system worked fine.
Lubing ballends has an impact. Can help open, may hurt keeping open...

No suggestions on suitable struts for your application.
