don c, good point tool

other temporary materials to use where the top or tonneau hits the body in addition to masking tape is saran wrap or static cling products. dr semko suggests dr schol's foot corn pad protectors as i recall for installation around the 'lift a dots' on the body. the 3M type of materials are normally more permanent in application vs easy on / off for only when the top is used . i also use one of the above temporary protectors for the top of the doors for when the side curtains are in place, as well as the body in front of the side curtains going toward the windshield post. easier to mess with protectors and clean up than it is marred paint that can happen when nothing is there to protect it. Hal can better answer 3M type of material and its permancy vs on/off as i have no experience with it. again, good luck. bill.
