W164 Rear SAM

Hello,

As I've read already a lot of posts where rear SAM gets damaged because of leaking tail light seals, i decided not to wait till they will sooner or later start to leak (already replaced new ones) and re-positioned my rear SAM behind fuse box. It was really fast to make, no need to longer any wires etc., but what you think about idea? Its ok for SAM to be there or there may be any fire causes, overheating or something else?

Picture in attachment.

I saw a real nice video where the guy repositioned the rear sam in the spare tire area . He cut the foam and sat it up vertical .
