Hi, Guys.
What are my options for patching the holes left after removing the
Winegard TV antenna from my roof?
I haven't done it, yet, so I don't know how big the holes are. Should I
patch the holes individually, (and with what) or use a plate to cover the
whole area?
Oh, yeah, how do I get that sticky white sealant goo that Camping World
(?) sealed the edges with?
Thanks,
RonC

If you really, really, really, want to make it all disappear then make a single hole and cut an aluminum patch that fits as exactly as possible into the hole. Make a second patch about an inch larger overall. Flush rivet the larger to the inside of the roof with suitable sealant between, then fit the smaller into the hole and flush rivet it to the first.
Plan 2, flush rivet a single patch to the inside of the roof covering all holes and fill the holes with bondo.
Plan 3, put rubber washers over suitable sized screws, coat with sealant and use them to fill the small holes, make an aluminum patch to cover the large hole(s), coat with sealant and screw in place with sheet metal screws or pop rivet.

This is how I patched my Roof Vents. It is a lot bigger than what you
need but the same principle.

Thanks to all who had the suggestions on roof patch solutions. Now all I
have to do is find out what size holes I have to deal with, and find that
darned round tuit.

"What are my options for patching the holes left after removing the Winegard TV antenna from my roof?"
How about replacing the antenna with a winegard satellite dish?
Has anyone done this? Is it a direct replacement?
