It would be really interesting to bring out the big toys and precisely measure the decrease in gain and expanding sidelobes as the elements are removed front to back to clear obstructions.
You can cut off the first "wing" and plastic all the way back to the beginning of the 2nd "wing". This will reduce reception a bit but you should still see about 75% of the gain that would have been available from all 3 wings. That may or may not be enough to provide the necessary clearance. If not (or even if it is), I would add the Sensar Pro to allow you to correctly point the antenna for best reception plus add a secondary inline amp to boost those weaker UHF signals (it will boost both UHF and VHF but the UHF seem to be the most frequently complained about).
