Welcome.  You may just need to run a bead of caulk around the edge so it can't vibrate.  Leave some of the bottom edge uncaulked so it can drain if any water gets in.

Some folks just hook it with a bungee to it when the wind blows, but it sounds like your is hyper sensitive.

Don't feel bad Toolman, I was going to ask the same question.  We don't have that on our 177.

We have used ours twice, it actually gets really good reception. At one place in NC we has 32 channels.

I hear ya Toolman, we don't even have a TV in our 177.  Special ordered ours to come WITHOUT the TV, entertainment center, convection oven and A/C.  Most the time we dry camp so figured these weren't necessary.  Don't watch much TV anyway.
