I took mine back to the dealer at about 20k miles and they replaced it under warranty. I didn't even have to act crazy... They did an ok job too. I had to tighten one screw up on the latch, but other than that it was good.

the solution- make sure to file the back of that area as well, feel around for sharp metal.

My concern wouldn't be that they couldn't do the job correctly I'm sure they can.
Easy enough to tell when you take possession if it's right or not.
My concern would be for other panels ,interior furnishings and seats. Check these as well for any damage they might incur while swarming all over the interior of the car that will be necessay for the change.
Take pictures of the interior before the hand over that will give you some ammo if needed.

I started getting wear spots to the point where small holes could be seen. I have an 02 with 64k - no complaints. I found a thread about using shoe-goo and a square of soft top fabric to repair - and that's what I did.
If you go that route just be cautioned that it is more difficult that it sounds. Smearing the shoe-goo thinly and evenly on this fabric was hard to do, very messy, and you have to do it VERY quickly or the goo starts drying and turining into buggers. You also have to hold in place for a LONG time until it dries. I thought I was Ok on the driver side and started working on the passenger side when I noticed it peeling up.
What I thought would be a relaxing, after dinner project turned into a stressful mess that required a few beers before attempting sleep. Results: functionally great, aesthetics fair-with having to use extra glue on the edges to keep them down, it looks like a hack attempted this after dinner.

Just got off the phone with Honda. I have to give them a call, to make sure the service director is there before I bring it in, so they can look at it.
