I have been mulling this one over, too.

As an interesting side note, looks like the 250/350 uses the same door sill design as the Raptor. Wonder if they have found a way to seal the connector openings off...

If it were me and I was having that problem I would just use a high temp grease or solid silicone grease...

I'm assuming you used 5/16" tubing vs. the 3/8" stuff?
