There is a rubber seal inside the housing but its not designed to seal that tightly. It works with normal rain fall because water wont run uphill around the aluminum housing to get to the seal area. If surrounded by ice, I could see how water would get past it. You need to get a heater up there and tarp it and melt it off or something. Could you crank the front up or down a lot to help the run off or perhaps get it high on one side?
I agree with Dakota, if storing with ice and snow on it I would double tarp it other wise it's helping to "ice dam" it and help water go in somewhere.
Thank you very much, that's exactly what I thought because there is so more "normal" rain after the ice were melted and there's no more water infiltration by the crank. Moreover today there's another heavy rain episode outside and no more water infiltration yet. Anyway as I tell I leave the trailer with the front raised to prevent backwater on the flat roof and I'll check it later on spring after the winter...
And thank you very much to the other person who answer to my thread. And yes it's the most common Wineguard TV antenna.
