Hi Greg, appreciate your concern and comments. I did put a dab of jell super glue on each of the screw heads, after they were tightened down, I then wiped them clean. Maybe a bit of RTV would be appropriate as well.
I did not put any weep holes in the cover, which is now the bottom of the assembly. It would be quite easy to drill up through the whole assembly, into the container, through the center of the push button which is about 2 inches in diameter. A piece of fine mesh screen inside and out would keep away the hornets and other intruders. All good suggestion! Looks like at least one more trip on to the roof!

I was looking at the weatherproof enclosure for your antenna. If I am correct, you have a total seal with regards to that container. The fasteners that pass through the enclosure on the top, are they utilizing any method of seal around themselves? I would be a little worried about the sealed container "breathing" with temperature changes and drawing moisture in around the fastener if they aren't sealed in any fashion. Normally outdoor enclosures and antenna radomes contain some sort of small weep hole to drain any moisture that may enter the enclosure or vent to equalize pressure changes with temperature. With the design of that container, a weep hole may not be practical given the deeper seal arrangement but a small pressure relief vent may help. And if you continue to utilize this design, a dab of RTV over each screw head would also help immensely.
