Default De-Burring Convertible Top

I've seen a post or two that refereed to deburring the rails on a convertible top, to help eliminate any wearing/tearing. Anyone know of any in the Midwest/Ohio?

Any what?

This a DIY project that shouldn't take 10 minutes. If you've seen the photos you know where you need to remove burrs. File and sandpaper.

Do both sides.

Close, but not correct from my knowledge.

As I recall there is a razor sharp weld artifact on the other side of the pin in the general area shown in the photo. Run your hand around back there, but, be careful not to cut your hand. If yours hasn't been taken care of, you will find it with no problems, it's real obvious.

While rounding the corners like that might help, it is minor compared to getting rid of the bur on the pin.

Thanks, will check it out on both sides. (I swiped this photo from an earlier post.)
