We had the same problem with our Esterel when we first got it, and DH ended up putting new gas struts on it. It flew up after that!
I don't know if yours has cupboards at the top, but if it has try not to put too much in them as that can make it heavy to lift.

I'm pretty sure that SGS Engineering (the last one in iestntfc post) was where DH got ours from. The lady he spoke to on the telephone was very knowledgeable, and had spoken to many Esterel owners about ordering them.

Another recommendation for gas struts from me - my caravan has a pop up roof, which wasn't popping up. One of the struts had had it, and I sent them to SGS so that they could match them up. Never struggled since with it.
