Can a 3rd party repaired S8 still survive the rain?

The adhesive that helps with liquid resistance is usually no good after a few months. What I mean by that, as a repair shop tech and owner, is that I wouldn’t trust it after 3 months of it being brand new. No matter how hard we independent shops try to seal the phone up, we can’t 100% maintain liquid resistance. As long as water doesn’t actually get inside the back of the phone, it should do ok in the rain. A few little drops here and there should be ok but don’t leave it out for very long.
