Default Honda specific- The death seam

Allright so there's a pinch weld on the inside top of the inner wheel well in the front. (del sol/eg/dc) Should all be the same. What do you guys do with this seam to keep your tires from getting sliced up? I don't wanna go in there with a BFH and wind up tearing it off, or doing it incorrectly. Do you cut it every inch or so and bend back the tabs? Enlighten me.

Beat it with a hammer or take a air-hammer to it.

My fittment is just fine.

Looks like it's just time for the BFH.
