OP is saying the tub is contacting the wire connections to the tape and not the tape itself.
I'd be a bit worried about the tub bumping into the side of those connectors over time as it passes over on closing that it would loosen the connection to the tape. I'd try to get it off of the connectors.
THG tape is connected to the cord by rivets (that's how RBI does it). With something like THG, I would worry about those rivets elongating the hole in the tape and messing up the electrical conduction.
