I had another one Rocket sold me that looked they same way , I guess the earlier models that didn't have that process perfected like the later models which have a black rubbery substance in them !!!!
I can just put clear silicone in there and should be fine just dump that stuff out I will address it before storing im sure it still functions properly .
This one at some time had the black potting, it was melted out all ober the cardoard box. There was a question a while ago about sand in the counterfiet boxes but I guess Mopar did it also. A dessicant maybe?
