Not concerned electrically. More concerned with it causing mechanical issues with other switches. Might be sealed and not a concern, idk. I do know that crap just gets everywhere and is hard as heck to get off/out.

It's all in how you use it ... It's not a big deal to be careful.

I would not squirt silicone into the switch pack. Tape it or tale it apart and stick something inside. If the radio works and function is unimportant then super glue might work just fine.

Radio works fine. I will try to find a plug that fits tight for now I covered with tape. Replacing the switch most likely involves taking the fairing too so the trouble is too much.

Cheers!
