Actually the sensor is far from being exposed: the shutter curtain rests in front of the sensor, just as it does on a film SLR, and the mirror rests in the down position.
However, I know a UK pap(arazzo) who shoots with 1D's and he avoids changing lenses in windy conditions outside of his car. If you are saying that the mating surfaces of the body/lens area is an issue with what? Water? That could well be something to watch out for.
