i've done so many electrical works in the past. home, cars, video systems, stereo, lighting fixtures and anything you can think of and i always make sure that there is no exposed wires. that's one thing you should always remember. keep all your wirings fully wrapped with electrical tape. then when you have the replacement unit you can replace it right away. certainly it can be glued. plastic is not a conductor nor the glue so you're ok. just make sure that wirings are not exposed. this is just a temporary fix, right ? as you do have a new replacement unit on the way.
