I had the same exact issue on my 05 987. The coating on the fan and temp switch began to peel and the heater control unit was later replaced just before my warranty ran out. I did look for a DIY repair but couldn't find anything that looked suitable.

Incidentally, i managed to get hold of a pic of the exact strap and fabric i'm referring to: -
So you can see that the strap on the left connects to the upper frame while the fabric to the right pulls on the outer hood. The whole thing keeps the side nice and taut. The problem is with the fabric (3A) creeping upwards onto a protruding section of the brace (visible in the pic) and just above the widest section of the fabric.
I suppose that you can directly tell from the pic that loosening the strap by dropping down a screw-hole may fix this in 5 mins but i don't know how this will affect the appearance of the hood from the outside. You may have trouble retracting/opening the hood around the window area or buffeting issues at speed.

I had this same issue and simply stuck a round piece of felt to both sides of the strap in the location shown in red. It seemed to do the trick and my noise was really bad.

Mine has an early Feb 2005 build date and so far no rms issues as I approach 20k. It doesn't use any oil whatsoever and with the exception of a couple of issues with the soft top folding outside of the frame and a broken elastic cable (all fixed under warr) it has been a joy to own.

Same thing happened on my 05 Boxster and the dealer replaced the entire control unit under warranty.
