Default Fuelpak...Waterproof/resistant?

Installed the fuelpak on my bike the other day and was sitting there looking at the case and i started to wonder if it is resistant to water (I do ride in the rain at times). Since installation i have washed my bike twice and see no issues so im assuming it should be ok. But i have been caught in some nasty storms and that peaks my curiosity. The fuelpak cover is held together by four mini screws and when separated (to input the map values) i don't see a rubber seal of any kind. So my question is has anyone had issues with fuelpak and water?? I have a tube of clear aquarium sealant and probably going to slather some on.
Ride hard, but always safe!

PS since i am on the fuelpak kick, i was told by V&H and a shop monkey that i should'nt have to tune the bike after installing the FP. Since the 2011 models have a pretty decent ECU and with the O2 sensors everything should be good. ? Any comments..

I've had mine on for about four years and 32,000 miles and the bike has been power washed and hose washed several times along with seeing heavy rain a few times with no problems.
