Should be rubber edge protection on there mate if it's where I'm thinking of

edging is gone but the hard plastic inside the seat is cutting into the tank and will probably cut the rubber as well
does the seat rub your tank or is there a gap

My seat does pretty much touch the tank but not to the point of rubbing paint off . Post up some pics mate

You can bend the securing loops a little rearwards to reduce the forward pressure onto the tank. Makes it easier to remove the seat, too..

Or put some clear protective tape on the tank to protect it.

Make sure the tank is empty of course and always wear eye protection.
