Is in enough with water proof / watertight connector?

Hello,
Is it enough with a watertight/water proof connectors/sockets as in Ebay .de item number 170033249129 or as you can see in the attached image or do I have to do something more to protect them?

Best Regards
Oskar R

As you are in a land known for severe weather Id be inclined to wrap the connectors in self amalgam tape - just to be on the safe side. Ice can do bad things to rubber seals - look what happened to the space shuttle

I bought a roll of self amalgamating tape from my local sat shop and always use it on the connections to the LNB's on my dishes.

Not the best thing to use - It'll trap water in the joint eventually - if it stays on at all.
