I believe the original lift supports were from Stabilus, and there were two different part #'s, depending on whether the hatch is plain or came with a spoiler. Note that if louvers are installed as well as the spoiler then even the heavier duty struts may struggle.
Strut w/o spoiler #249270
Strut w/spoiler #612323
There are other aftermarket suppliers as well.
One caution regarding installation. Be sure to support the hatch securely before removing the old struts. A single strut will not support the weight of the hatch alone. It is best to replace the struts one at a time and it doesn't hurt to fit new nylon washers at the pivot points.
Good Luck.
