Changing the battery in a SMP Quartz

After reading the post made by Mikey on 7/26/03 refering to the SMP Quartz opened up. It appears to me that the antimagnetic cover under the case back is held in place by some sort of adheasive. So in order to change the battery one would need to pry the antimagnetic plate off to access the battery. And thus add some adheasive or silicone compound to hold the antimagnetic plate in place after reassembly. Can anyone tell me if this is correct.

Thanks

Don
