Hatch strut mount snapped

So today while closing my hatch heard a clunk and well end result, left side strut mount on the hatch side nearly pried off.

Things to note:
upgraded the struts to 120lb
lots of sound deadening mass vinyl so the upgraded struts was a must
probably slammed the hatch a few good times cramming things in
had the stronger struts for 3 years?


Fixed with Strap Toggles
