As already said and expected from the beginning sort the handles first buddy.

Just don't buy second hand handles please !!!
It's not a 5min job and all handles fail, so a used one my last a week, month, year or already have same issue.

What Nick said about drying them and putting tape over is a good idea, put some good quality waterproof tape over it, but dont wait for the rain, take a hose or karcher and soak the car properly and see what happens.
BUT don't cover just the button, cover the gap between the chrome trim and handle's body as well.

Your previous issue with water in the boot would very unlikely reach radio or sat nav. Amp possibly, but it was more likely a slow drip, nothing like hosing down the boot area with a garden hose.

All this MOST loop results could be just a pure coincident.

I could be wrong.
When it happened, have you actually seen water all over any of them components (radio, amp, dvd drive) ??
