New '03 H2 Owner with a couple of questions...

[H2Pilot]

Just bought a used '03 H2 2 weeks ago and LOVE IT! I do have a couple of questions though.

1. The rear hatch / door seems to not have any lift assist. i.e. - open it partially and it stays, lift it halfway up and stays half way up. I have to push it to open it all the way. Is this normal or do I need to speak with the dealer to get it fixed (still under warranty).

2. I have a Sirius sat. radio that I installed and am using the FM transmitter. Does the stock 2003 H2 Stereo with the 6 cd changer have direct inputs on the back so I do not have to use the FM transmitter? Don't want to remove the dash and radio unless I know.

Thanks!
