71 Blazer lift hatch spring replacement

Do any of you experts know if the side latches
Springs can be replaced? Once open the hatch I have to manually reset the catch by turning the handle and reposition latch. Thanks for any suggestions.

Not reasonably or easily. Motorcity K5 sells nice new hatch side latches.

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.
