Default No pics yet...coming soon - but question about wind noise on convertible top

Hello,
I did a search to no avail - does anyone have suggestions on how to reduce/eliminate the wind noise from cabriolet top? It is most prevalent at around 80mph.
Should I try applying silicone grease or wurth gasket spray etc etc?

I had a persistent wind noise at above 70mph. I thought it was from the A pillar.
I was wrong.
I took it to a body shop and immediately the guy said the hood is not lined up right (left side sat a little high). He had to adjust the actual latch mechanism on the car behind the bumper and voila - all wind noise is gone!
