It will ease as the weather warms up and the rubbers rebound from where they have been squashed in the winter. (ours did anyway)
We should really all be kepping them lubed with that special grease stuff that I keep forgetting to buy.
Tonneau cover is in the loft and staying there so I can't help you re: tabs.

I have noticed the extra noise also, but after 4 months of the comfort of driving a relatively quiet coupe (S2000 gt), then to a convertible you are going to notice a difference.

I still think the roof down cover thing is a bugger to fit tho!

There shouldn't be that much wind noise. It could be that the fitting is not quite right and needs adjustment.
The fit down onto the front rail should be good - if its a bit loose, the catches might need adjusting. If under warranty, you could speak to your dealer about it.

I have never had any wind noise either, but I have also never had a HT. Maybe its because the soft top has been lowered for so long? Just needs to stretch a little and breath?

whilst driving and when you hear the noise pull forward on the handle resess in the middle of the hood. If the noise stops take it back to the dealer as it doesnt fir properly
