Usually on a Wineguard antenna there is a connector either right at or just under trhe roof (under a clamshell cover) and the damaged will be the barrel connector.. I wont tell you how bad mine was.. I cut the end off the coax (Both of 'em) Dressed the cables and applied new weather proof compression fittings. new barrel connector.. Strong signal.


Home was where I park it. but alas the.

Exactly what I had in mind. I see no reason this fix cannot be done without running an entire new line.
