Wind noise has been increasing...
I've had my car now for about 22 months now (32k miles), and I've noticed a bit more wind noise in the car.
I turned off the radio this morning, and while driving, noticed wind noise around both the driver and passenger A-pillars.
Is this a (old and drying) rubber seal issue? Should I use a product to "moisturize" the rubber seal? Can and should it be replaced?
Nothing really necessary. I listen to music all the time, and I only hear the wind noise with the radio off (which is practically never).
I just want to know if there is an easy fix...
Thanks in advance for your advice!

You may try reseating the seals - I'm sure they move around from expansion and contraction. I know that I developed a slight high-speed wind noise in the b-pillar after a few months, and reseating the door seals around that area seemed to resole the issue.

Maybe you should try some Shin-Etsu grease that Honda recommends as regular maintenance on the seals around the S2000's convertable top.
Kudos to Gernby, since I forgot the name of the product.
