close your vents at night and make sure there is no dampness under the seats.

+ clear out your drains

Maybe I won't have the problem this year as the rail was succesfully replaced at the last tech day at Ivans' 8)

Not having one myself, do the hardtops decrease wind noise at speed ?
And do they seal okay ?
