from pictures, it looks like I need to sand the joint below the bar that actually touches the top when it's up right?
Someone had a pic of it circled in red and stated that it rubs most when the top is down, but should I sand both the bar that's obviously touching the top and also the other when I get the car back?

did you drop the top a lot when it was wet? it can cause damage

Wait so suppose you brought your car to the shop by yourself, youd have to sleep there overnight since they cant give you a loaner? that seems rediculous

My 2005 ripped at 14k miles. It took the dealer (Greenwich Honda) 2 days to replace it after they got approval from Honda

No it doesn't. That is strictly a dealership perk on a Honda.
