'Netters, How does one go about convincing a customer not to use a seam joint as a mechanical weld. The problem is that due to an oversight by design to include tabs on a screen wall, the customer requests that we solder the wall to the PCB in the area where a tab is needed. The joint appears to be under permanent compression when the unit is finally assembled. From a liability perspective, should we even entertain this?
