Tail gate gas struts

My car has been off the road for 11 days due to a gear linkage failure. Fitted the new part tonight and went to the shops. When I tried to open the boot it's like both gas struts have lost their charge! Could this be due to the recent hot weather, checked the bonnet (hood for our north American cousins) and they are fine. Anyone else had this recently?

I think it is just you having a run of bad luck.
I had my car parked for 3 days, and on two of those we exceded 40°C and enjoyed 8hrs plus of brutal sun.
And I have the added spring mod to increase the pressure for the trunk (not hood) to open by itself.....
