Has anyone else noticed any issues with their WAAS GPS installation?

I just convereted a 530 and 430 to 530W and 430W. My GPS antennas are on a tray just under the glass section in front of the vertical stab on my IVP. Since I got Waas I = get "No GPS navigation - user other nav" message. It happens on= the ground, it happens whether near buildings or not, it happens to both navs b= ut at different times. It lasts from 30-45 seconds typically.

One theory that has been put forth is that the WAAS unit= s look further down the horizon (or need to to get a big enough constellation= ) and that I may have some blockage at those low angles. So far I haven't seen this happen in the air.

I also converted my cessna 530 to 530W. = ; I haven't noticed any issues. The antenna is OUTDOORS in that installat= ion.
