 In my experience the amount of weight you can have on the poptop and
still open it depends on how far to the rear you have the cargo. The
closer to the two hinges at the back the more weight can be raised. this
is very likely an exponential sort of thing. I doubt if anybody will be
able to give you a precise figure. It also depends on your own particular
setup. It would be best to experiment with this in different positions if
possible beforehand.
