Your Car Looks Great!!! IMO ... you should keep the windshield tape.
Immediately after my HT was installed it squeaked and rattled a bit. I put up with the noise for about a day, then went to the dealership for Shin Etsu silicone lube and applied it to all the soft black rubber seals on the outside edges of the hard top/windshield where the HT mates to the windshield, body, and around the windows.
My '06 S2K now has 70K miles on it; the HT is on the car year round, and has not needed any adjustments. This may help quiet things down too... For latch rattles the dealer can give you some EPT Sealant (kind of like foam weather stripping), it really doesn't take very much to perform the fix below:
Clickie ---> Squeaks and Rattling Latch Fix
I performed the fix, AND tied down the latch hooks on each side of the lowered soft top with plastic cable ties (rubber bands work too); now my hard top is very, very, quiet - even on the bumpiest roads.
