I seem to remember a thread some time ago about there being a cable/spring
assembly in the Vanagon poptop somewhere (inside the arms?).  Never got
around to looking into it, but as I recall someone said that they fail
fairly early and that is why all of our tops are so hard to open - most of
us that are not original owners never even knew that the top was once easier
to open.  Not sure if this is "Vanagon urban legend" or truth, but I am sure
someone can confirm.
