antenna rest bracket and base

[art]

I suspect a small leak from this area Im talking about the sheet metal the bracket rest is attacked too Im not sure if its attached with just adhesive caulk or mechanically fastened any input would be helpful before i do any rip and tear

What year and model trailer?

I believe my 88 has rivets, it's been a while. I think someone told me the one on their newer trailer was only caulked or taped though.

its a 2004 classic 30 i do see a rivet in the bracket but not sure if it goes through the base plate into the skin

[Wazbro]

Well there isn't much of a reason for a rivet to be there if it's not going through the base plate into the skin.

I have a 2005 Safari, I just replaced my old antenna with a new one. I removed the old bracket, it was held down with adhesive tape. Didn't need it anymore.

I took mine off a 1986 and it was riveted with large quantities of caulking over top. I buck riveted an aluminum cover over the hole. The interior is out. Lots of wires as in the main harness travel under that item and the moisture had done nasty things to the electrical.
