You can source hatch struts at a NAPA store. Take in an old strut so they can measure it for length and get one with the correct end fittings.
I don't remember the part number of the ones I got, but they come in about four different strengths -- and I suggest you start with the weakest one. When I went through this exercise, I started with the strongest -- and it was so strong that I couldn't close the glass without danger of breaking it. The second strongest would close, but slammed the hatch open violently when I pulled the release. So, start with the weakest one, and if it won't hold up the hatch, try the next one up from there and so on.
