No, but disassembly can be very risky by way of snapping retainer tabs, especially on anything meant to be waterproof and seamless tot eh touch. As good as I've gotten over the decades, such things always tend to show dents and scrapes from my pry tools. But I can also commit to that risk as well as the compromise that I may have to glue it together after the fix, making it a final fix.
