Unplugging the remote switch and using the rubber plug is not an effective countermeasure, since it doesn't fit tight enough to prevent wicking water in. What I've found it that leaving the jack open--nothing plugged in at all--works best in the rain.
Just a FYI, thats no longer an issue on the current model.
