Ken,
I do vaguely remember hearing that the hardtop can be installed over the
soft-top, but I fail to see how. You would have to remove the rear bar,
otherwise you would not be able to get the rear bolts in, and in any case
the presence of the soft-top would prevent the hard-top fitting snugly down
to the rear deck.
You would also need to remove the brackets at the top of the B-pillars, so
the hard-top bracket could bolt on. Well, by the time you've done that you
have removed everything that holds the soft-top on, so you might as well
remove it from the car completely! Although there are alternative, shorter
brackets for the hard-top at this connection, but I'm not sure where they'd
attach? They may be the answer to your question.

brackets.
