Glad the dealer fixed it, mine being a '04, I guess I will be paying for the struts!

Confirm it is a common problem - think I am on my third strut on one side, second on the other ;-)
Also on second parcel shelf - the early ones didn't retract very well due to small plastic rollers, and using info off this site asked to be fixed. They replaced the whole thing, which was nice as the old one was a bit worn. Still doesn't retract regularly though
