Ya, the antenna is that bendy. It's supposed to give in case you're in a REALLY low parkade or something I guess. The spoiler gap is normal.

Can you re tighten the spoiler? I've noticed the plugs from the inside but dont know how to take them out to tighten in down again. also im kinda reluctant to do that incase i crack it. maybe i'll get the dealer to snug it back up.

There's a small piece of weather stripping between the wing and roof of the car. The gap is perfectly normal. You're not going to completely eliminate the gap. It won't hurt your car, and the wing won't fall off. The antenna bends as it's supposed to. Would you want to snap it off or put a dent on the top of your roof if you snagged it on something?

Now, now foxy - I KNOW you swiped that phrase from somewhere - I've seen it on this board! I can't remember who, but someone has it in their signature, along with "Team Duct Tape".

C'mon - give credit where it is due . Just poking ya' a bit.

To the extreme baby...if you duct tape one piece...you might as well do the whole car.

Yeah, foxy - maybe one of these days I'll do some hunting and come up with who it is for ya'.

Kinda funny - and I enjoy the comparison of duct tape to the force - it fits realy well!
