Tonneau cover if v well secured and if not no cover. Trust me there is nothing worse than lose you canopy to the car following you for lots of reasons and it is simply not worth the risk or cost.

I echo Dave. Plus with the canopy up the boat will take on the attitude of a brieze block. No aerodynamics at all. Nightmare in wind.

Echo three.

The canopy provides no protection from stones/muck hitting the boat's windscreen, as opposed to the tonneau.
