I went on vacation recently and threw a cover over my E for a few days. Well I didnt unscrew the antena and know it's all bent and silly looking. :-x

Hey Beat,

Stick the antenna in the oven for a few min until warm then you can easily reshape it or use a heatgun.

Thx, Phil

Thnx for the tips, i'll give it a shot.

A couple of warm sunny days should straighten it out. If it doesn't kill your reception, unthread it 1/2 turn and let gravity do its thing.

Park your E next to a sexy Porche or something. If that won't straighten the antena nothing will :grin:
