"There are springs in the poptop on a Westy Vanagon? I thought the poptop was 100% muscle powered (at least mine seems to be...)"

If you were to disconnect (unscrew) the front arm connection from the roof of the van, then lift the fiberglass top, then you'd notice the "spring" in that mechanism. They're in the semi-round parts that look like an elbow joint on the arm you push up/pull down on.
