I have a problem with a Charge 5 purchased this past July. The gasket around the sensor on the back is slipping out. I noticed this with my Charge 5 when I got back the other day from a Florida trip. I was outside all day for four days using copious sunscreen. I took the Charge 5 off before spraying my arms and then replaced it after each re-spray. It was hot & humid and I was sweating a lot. No swimming, no drops, no cleaning of it. The only thing that has touched the backplate is my arm. Is there anything that can be done for this? Here are a couple of photos of the gasket failing/
