  The tonneau and soft top can be on the car at the sametime.  There are
  snaps on the soft top for the tonneau cover.  My car came with a tonneau
  cover and I've used it when I first go the car.  But, I find it is much
  faster and easier to just pull the top up without doing up the snaps and
  latches when parking outside, so my tonneau don't get much use.
