..Stated it' at a (29 degree angle) how he determined that is beyond me but, none the less, if it's pulled at an angle, it's deformed the sheet metal underneath and it needs to be handled by a body and fender tech.
Typically, most roof mount stuff like that are secured with a Tinnerman nut clip slid over the sheetmetal with a corresponding hole punched in the roof and the Tinnerman nut clip has pulled the sheet metal up. Homebrew 'fixes' will only deform the surrounding roof sheet metal and make it much worse.
Glad I have a conventional mast antenna. It bends.
