Winegard Sensar Antenna Coax Feedthrough

[westernflyer]

While doing post snowbirding cleaning, I noticed the rubber weather boot had slipped off on the roof feed through for the Sensar antenna's coax lead-in. I tried to reattach it, but it kept slipping off, even with a small hose clamp. They must have used some kind of adhesive to attach the rubber boot to the metal nipple, but what kind? Anyone have any ideas? My roof is of rubber membrane construction.

Any help would be appreciated!

The rubber boot at the antenna head or the one where the coax enters the roof?

The rubber boot where the coax enters the roof. The F-connector on the antenna is just a plain crimped with no boot.

Friction is all that holds those boots on. I was asking because the one attached to the antenna doesn't really matter.

It sounds like you will need a new boot. Do you have the tools to put a connector on coax without using pliers?

[westernflyer]

Yes, I do have coax connector tools.

Many thanks! I have emailed you with the address.
It looks as though the manufacturer of the RV used some sort of adhesive to bond it to the nipple on the Sensar mount. I think the adhesive contributed to the deterioration of the rubber boot. Unfortunately, the manufacturer is no longer in business.
