Subject:      Installing rear hatch struts

I just attempted to install new rear hatch struts but was unsuccessful.  The
struts ship fully extended, and this length is longer than the distance from
the strut receptacle at the rear of the vehicle to the strut receptacle on
the fully-opened hatch.  I put all my weight on the strut in an attempt to
shorten it for installation, but I couldn't budge it.  Suggestions?
