winegard sensar will not go up
rotates fine, goes down fine, will not go up unless I am on roof lifting it while wife turns lifter-knob. Any ideas? I assume the worm gear is out of synch with the teeth, but cannot seem to fix.

Assuming you've cleaned and lubed the worm gear, check for binding on the pivot where the unit attaches to the base. If that's cleaned and lubed, you may have bent or sprung the lift bracket causing the worm gear to be misaligned with the driven gear. Look closely with the antenna half way erect and try to determine how much clearance you have between the two. A little is good, too much will cause a bind.
