My Th7 has been in the air since 1990 at my tower, and at least 10 years
before at KB0CO.

About 5 years ago (using a bucket truck) I replaced all the end caps in
place. Blew out each trap with compressed air, sliced one side of each end
cap to put it in place. Sealed each back together with high quality tape
and brushed on conformal coating. Inspected them last summer, and all are
perfect.
