Golly!

What's the use of having a TR3 tech web site if nobody ever looks.

4A. You need to remove the top and store it away from the hood sticks.

4B. Yes

4C. The hood stick cover is to uncover those unsightly hood sticks when 
you do not have the tonneau installed.  It is one OR the other.

The inside wall of the body, forward of the doors under the instrument 
panel?  The name for that is a kick panel.  You glue rug material to the 
kick panels.  The one for the driver's side has a special scuff pad 
adjacent to the foot rest.

Most people I know are more concerned about the engine heating up the 
sheet metal and making surfaces uncomfortable to lean your leg against.  
The stock heater can be OK with a tonneau if the passages are wide open.
