Van parts and accessories could be stronger

Good replacement but will break again. I wish it was metal. Check your roof antenna, make sure the mechanism is well lubricated, which will take the stress off the handle.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Crumpled

Fit is an old batwing antenna.

Replaced the handle on the antenna on a 1991 motorhome I thought was the same age. It's plastic and can break under heavy stress, so keep the antenna clean and oil it regularly to keep it raising and lowering easily.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Clarity

Great replacement, but for how long?

I am replacing an original Winegard handle in my motorhome where the handle is broken. I hope this one lasts longer and was grateful for the ease of replacing it. We look forward to many successful years with this new connecting rod!

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Some cons

Made stronger with JB Weld

Exact replacement. But since mine broke and others reported their new ones broke after some use, I placed the JB Weld in the honeycomb on the back. Hope it makes him stronger. If you do this, make sure you use masking tape so JB Weld doesn't go where you don't want it to.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • There are new competitors

No TV without One on RV Parts & Accessories

I couldn't find a fitting for a 5/16 round stock with sides to attach the handle with a set screw somewhere so I got this and drilled to match . Now my antennae rise slightly. I simply drilled out the hex insert glued into the handle and fitted it to my round stem rather than replacing the stem with a hex shank. No problem.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Nothing here

Perfect replacement but flawed design

This was the perfect replacement for the broken Winegard lift handle. plastic container. It's something that broke in the old and will probably break in this one too. We don't use the antenna much and I expect it will last long enough for our needs.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • boring packaging

Perfect fit - easy to install

We broke off the handle (it was 7 years old). Spring. After cleaning and lubricating the roof antenna gears (a very small amount of WD-40 to clean and a large amount of silicone grease), we installed a new handle. Installation is easy, the antenna raises and lowers very easily. I would recommend watching a YouTube video on how to install - it takes less than 5 minutes to install a new grip.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Faulty
