So I purchased a "Wingman" for my Winegard Sensar antenna. Installed easy as could be. Did a channel search on my HD TV and now I receive 62 digital channels as opposed to 32 without the Wingman..Excellent improvement.But then I went to lower it back down and a roof vent is directly in the way. The Wingman hits it square!Other than removing all this Dicor and repositioning the entire antenna mount, does anyone have an easier suggestion on how to fix this?

Turn the antenna a little and crank it down. Have to remove the dicor and rotate the base a little then reinstall the screws and reseal.

You have to rotate it quite a bit to clear the little landing ears that secures it when down. Rather than move the base, I think I'm going to fabricate another aluminum landing restraint to let the antenna "park" a bit more to the left.What do you think about this idea?

Cut that element. The difference in performance is imperceptable.

Had same problem with my TT, except it was the air conditioning cowl. Couldn't use it and had to return it.

The difference in performance is imperceptable. I went from 32 channels to 62 channels. Many were duplicates but at least 7 were new channels I couldn't receive without the wingman. These 7 channels were very high in the UHF band where the Sensar simply doesn't perform well.

The Wingman I put on last month was reversible. 2 sets of holes for an inboard or outboard install. I have mine pointed inboard.
