Default Cabriolet Convertible trunk lid strut

The old strut on this trunk lid door was no longer holding the door up far
enough, so I purchased a new strut. I haven't had a chance to install it
yet, but I did try to manually compress it. Even with all of my strength I
could not make it budge at all. Am I doing something wrong, or does that
little trunk lid door have all of that leverage? Heck, the door couldn't
weigh more than 5 pounds!

By the way, the new strut looks exactly the same as the old one in all
dimensions.
