I think it is, because I used the TC-17EII with the D3 and 70-200 VR in pouring rain, and both lens, and tele worked just fine, and still do. Its made of the same sturdy material as the 70-200 VR in my mind.

Heh heh That doesn't mean a thing. Many times water finds it's way into the electronics and slowly causes problems that won't show up for months.
I'm sitting here holding my TC-14E II in my hand. It has absolutely no weather sealing whatsoever. Kind of strange since it is designed to be used with Nikon lenses that are sealed.

That's my impression of the extender as well unfortunately- I'm wondering why it's not, since all the lenses that would be used with it are? oh well!
I don't think you can put a seal on a non-G lens; in which case since the teleconverters work with some non-G lenses they cannot have a seal and still have a mechanical aperture arm.
