I think mine are dry inside. They hold it up but I have to push the glass up when I pop the hatch. The metal pole feels dry. Should I lubricate it up?

They are available at many parts shops... NAPA, Pepboys... common replacement part.
Mine are a little weak on lift off, but hold up ok. |

They cost even more if you have a rear window defogger.
