Subject:      cargo boxes on top of westies

So I put a Yakima cargo box on my pop top to see if I can lift up my camper
top. I slid the box as far back as it can go on the roof trying to offset
the weight a little. Even with the box empty there was no way I could lift
up the pop top.
 I see lots of photos on the internet of westies with these cargo boxes on
their vans with their tops up so I am wondering
  Is there some secret info I am missing like turbo springs for the pop top
lifters or do these folks get a few brawny people to help heave it up.
  Any insights or wisdom will surely be appreciated.  Merv 90 Carat
