Look toward the sliding door openers on some of those Chrysler inventions, their minivan (LOL!). They have a nice long travel, and should be suitably strong, for opening a pop-top. With a remote, no less...

  And that makes another question arise. What mechanism do they use to CLOSE the rear hatch automajically? Is Harry Potter involved?  :- P

Either a cable or rack and pinion type of set-up

Don't forget the wireless remote

How about electric pop-top opener and closer.
