"yes I talk bad about the designers/engineers on a daily basis"
Chuckster, I'll bet you see some real "head shakers" in the course of your repairs.
One can only imagine why things were done a certain way as opposed to a different seemingly easier or more serviceable way.
I know I've had my share of "what were they thinking" moments in my career.
In the end all you can do is fix it or modify it or ignore it.
As a good friend of mine used to say "if all else fails...Duc it" BTW, I have duct tape in several colors
