I have a tonneau cover but rearly use it. It will keep the inside of
the car dry in light rain but I find some water does get in from the edge
of the dash. I usually park the car with the windows rolled up and if
looks like it might rain I just put the soft top up without doing up all
snaps. When it starts to rain I just go out and put the soft top up.
I can get the top on in under a minute and that is at night with just the
street lights.
