Softopper and factory tonneau cover hardware

Good morning everyone!

First time posting here, I searched through the existing threads for an answer to my below questions, but wasn't able to find anything.

I've got the factory Tacoma tonneau cover (tri fold) and my Softopper is set to arrive any day now. I went ahead and pulled off the tonneau cover, and wanted to see if anyone out there knows if the mounting brackets on the side will need to be removed in order to install the Softopper bars? They stick out a bit past the utility tracks so I can see how it might interfere if trying to fold the topper down, but it may also be a non-issue...

The only other concern I have is that the tonneau mount cutouts on the bed rail caps may interfere with the softopper bed rails, but I'm betting that won't really impact much. I'd like to leave all of the tonneau hardware on if possible, just in case I need to switch out for whatever reason.

Thanks in advance!
