<snip>
Within the last year there was a short discussion on this list
of the merits of adding gas struts help lift the pop top.

Are you sure you didn't find this on another list?  I just spent a good deal
of time searching the archives without success.  I found questions without
answers.  I did, however, find posts about springs being inside the struts
that seemed to make popping the top almost effortless ... when the vans were
new.  There were entries about the failure of these springs saying that they
were not repairable.
