SO much yes!!!!! I'm getting ready to do this to mine as well. Did you use the factory switch or an aftermarket look-a-like switch??

Where did the wire go after the seal? Its not gunna leak through the windshield right there?
I drilled a small hole just above the passenger A pillar and sealed with a grommet. Ran inside down the a pillar trim, then through the firewall. I actually did remove it and I used a little plastic plug and a little bit of silicone to plug the hole. The plug was similar to a door panel clip, just a little cleaner looking. I live in Oregon, we get like 300+ days of rain a year and it didn't leak once!
^^^Plug was like that, siliconed the back side and stuck it in the hole in the roof. worked great.

I simply tucked it under the rubber and it disappeared out of sight perfectly.
Here in Florida, through all the April months and even the hurricane seasons, I didn't leak once.

I ran the wire underneath the rubber flap, down under the fender metal, and into the hood. From there, all the wiring is pretty standard, and it went into the grommet behind the brake booster.

I call those plastic fasteners. My JK has a ton of those holding the fender wells in and I had to buy a bunch to replace the ugly stock matte black fender flares that are prone to sun-fading with some nice paint-matched ones.
