If I'm not mistaken the OEM ones have a damping force at the end to they don't fly open like that, don't they?

Try swapping one of them out to the OEM one and see how it opens. I don't think them flying open to the point of them popping the hatch up is either safe or good for the struts.

The OEM ones are just like the replacements, but have a lower force rating. The bouncing is because they have more lifting force than necessary. I am going to give them a month or so to settle in (with me holding the hatch when opening). If they continue to bounce at that point, I will switch to ones with a closer rating to OEM.
