Pop-top too heavy

We recently purchased a 2nd hand Millard Horizon 16ft pop-top caravan. We're very pleased with it, but the pop-top itself is very heavy to pop up. It does have an air-conditioner on the roof which adds to it's weight - but it seems heavier now than when we first bought it 6 months ago. The front and rear of the pop-top have what appears to be a "scissors" type of spring loaded mechanism which should help with the lifting. The sides have a couple of gas struts similar to the type used on the rear door of a station-wagon. Any suggestions for making it easier to pop the top up would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you :-)
