Is it possible to remove a DISH satellite from the roof of my 2016 24J? We are using upgraded technology to stream and I would like to take the DISH off of the roof if possible.

The advent of Star Link has pretty much rendered all the old dish antenna obsolete. Removing the old dish should not be too difficult and there are plenty of videos on You Tube that explain how. Google AI also explains it.Google Link
 
Leave it there. In the event of road rage it looks like an automated gun turret. You gain nothing by removing it except potential leaks.
 
When thinking of doing this, what part of it seems to bring the question? It will be something of a "figure it out as you go" on a number of things and what you do to repair the holes top and inside is going to require some personal choices to make.
Sealing the top side is pretty straightforward as it is pretty much out of sight to most folks.
But what to do with the inside to hide the ugly? I tend to like the inside looking better as it is the part I see most and if I do a degrade in appearance it will be definite bummer when time to sell!
Do you have a plan for the inside?
 
Most of my roof attached goodies (including the antennas) were damaged in a wind storm. On the exterior, I stripped everything off, filled the holes with marine putty and covered with a strip of Eternabond. Seven years without a leak. On the interior, I found that plastic hole covers (1.5" if I recall correctly) snap right into place and do not annoy me after a fashion.
