Large mailbox with a hipped roof

The shape and finish are attractive and of good quality. But that's about all that is praiseworthy in this mailbox. As previously criticized other clients, no mounting screws are included. Rubber buffers external to the coil as a spacer and to seal would certainly also been beneficial. Good thing I had this still from the previous mailbox (Billigprodukt) left. The upper mounting screws with standard tools to achieve little. The biggest deficiency, however, is that in this mailbox penetrates even at a light drizzle rain water and the post is then always wet. At least in my mailbox at least 2 matches were by design and not for me to understand how to construct something. First, the abutting edges of the circulating Anschlagfalzes for the large drop door were open, so that water running is collected from the sampling valve on the bottom seam and runs through this abutting edges in the box. But so far this water must not run, because it can already, at least in theory previously run through two holes in the horizontal part of the fold inside the mailbox. This is by 2 holes, as they are available for the flap mechanism in the two vertical folding, here, however, necessarily, for the reception of the steel wire (axis). Because I wanted to keep this mailbox because of its attractive appearance, I have now closed this hems as well as the designated holes with silicone and provided the paper roll on the weather side with a self-made cover and this also sealed with silicone. Now my mailbox has become more important poets, but not entirely. I'll soon have to undress him with a paper towel to also find the latest leak. I do not hope that the water from getting inside as a result of capillary action between the lower seam and removal flap. Actually, I would have been better off if I had returned them.
