Yeah, kinda tough to re-orient that wire. Maybe the metal roof IS causing interference, but seems unlikely. If the signal just isn't there in that location (due to the terrain- a good hill or mountain will kill a signal) , you need to move the wire to "catch" that signal. (I grew up in the mountains myself. Sometimes you just can't get a good signal unless you get creative with the antenna). Is there a ground connection on that AA5? (Never fooled with any of those) If so, you may want to drive a ground rod. The solar anomalies probably have some affect overall, but would be pretty much regional, and it seems like others in that swath would be complaining too. I would DEFINITELY play with that beverage antenna, as that might just be your "ace in the hole". I am so intrigued with that, I told my buddy who also lives in the mountains to look at the info about it- he is thinking about trying that . It may be a fun and informative and project! Good Luck!
