Cool Wind noise from Callifornia top

I've recently acquired a ti with the Cal top. The two springy sliding clips in the front of the top were broken. Luckily with a 4 week wait my BMW dealer was able to get me some new ones. I completely removed the top and painstakingly replaced the broken clips. Carefully reassembled everything and reinstalled the top. It now shuts nice and tight but the wind noise is almost the same! At about 40 mph I begin to hear some subtle wind noise. By 60 mph the wind noise is fairly significant. By 80 mph it's annoyingly loud. Is this normal? or is there something else that's not quite right with my top? Please share your thoughts.

Thanks!
