I know it's a dumb question, but wanted to be sure asking the pros.

I know the antenna needs to be straight up (perpendicular to the ground) and straight.

But I have a mag mount antenna in my car, positioned on top of a piece of metal that it's not straight; so, the antenna has an angle.

Some pics:

What should I do:

Leave it as it is, doesn't matters
Mount it on the roof (the antenna will be too high and hit every single parking garage entrance, including at my home where I park, so it will be bent all night.
Bend the antenna a little bit with pliers, so it's straight up (perpendicular to the ground)
Change antenna (buy an antenna with a mount and put lower, like on the bullbar) = $$$ and time consuming as I have to remove the whole coax cable from inside the vehicle and change everything + expenses.

Side note: it looks like I already have hit a couple of branches or something.

Thanks in advance
