The Motorola R5 housing cover is the OEM repair part that brings a damaged MOTOTRBO R5 back to service. A cracked shell, a worn keypad, or a broken lens used to mean an expensive radio replacement. With the right housing kit, the R5 is rebuilt at a fraction of the cost. This MOTOTRBO R5 replacement case is the economical path to a fully functional radio.
Two levels of repair fit the damage. The R5 front housing kit PMLN8654AS replaces the front shell complete with lens, lightpipe, microphone, speaker, keypad buttons, display flexes, and branding. The R5 complete housing PMLN8655A covers the full body for major damage. Both are genuine Motorola parts, molded to OEM tolerances, so the IP68 seal restores correctly. For radio shops, rental fleets, and maintenance teams running R5 units, this R5 radio housing repair part turns write-offs into working radios.

A radio falls. A shell cracks. The Motorola R5 housing cover is the answer that keeps the radio working instead of writing it off.
A Broken Shell Is Not a Broken Radio
Rugged radios survive drops, but the shell takes the punishment. Cracks compromise water sealing. Worn keypads fail under daily use. Broken lenses hide the display. None of these failures are fatal. The Motorola R5 housing cover replaces the damaged structure and restores the radio to full duty. A shop rebuilds a dropped R5 for a fraction of the cost of a new unit. A rental house refreshes returned radios between hires. A fleet keeps its investment working for years. Repair is not a compromise. It is the smart economics of a professional radio fleet.
Front Kit or Complete Housing: Matching the Part to the Damage
The R5 housing lineup covers the full damage spectrum. The front housing kit includes the front shell plus everything bonded to it: the lens, lightpipe, microphone, speaker, keypad buttons, display flexes, and the R5 and Motorola labels. It is the right part for cracked fronts and worn controls. The complete housing covers the entire body for structural damage or full refresh. Both options keep the radio’s original character. This MOTOTRBO R5 replacement case restores the look and feel of the factory unit, not an approximation.
IP68 Sealing: Rebuild It and Keep the Rating
The R5 is rated IP68, and the housing is part of that rating. A genuine Motorola housing carries the correct sealing surfaces and gasket fit, so a properly rebuilt radio keeps its water and dust protection. Aftermarket shells with loose tolerances can leak. OEM parts do not gamble with the seal. The R5 front housing kit PMLN8654AS is engineered for the exact R5 chassis, so every port, button, and seam lines up. For a service technician, that means a rebuild that holds up in the field, not just on the bench.
