Duct tape and bailing wire is not an acceptable solution, no matter what the
locals tell you. My dad told me something all the time when I was a little
kid, that a job worth doing was worth doing right the first time. It sounds
like you need to explore this avenue. Don't worry though, it only hurts the
first time.

A well laid plan helps to alleviate any potential problems later on down the
line. If I would have installed stereos the way that you perform repairs,
I'd have been out of business before I even started. If everything is all
drawn out and carefully planned, it helps you to troubleshoot failures down
the line, because you know exactly where everything is as well as what it
is. Then again, I'm borderline obsessive compulsive about stuff like that
and an engineering major, so YMMV.
