are the edges around the antenna base rolled or flat? Do you have any experience with bodywork?

I have no experience with body work. It just doesn't slide up towards the roof more because the antenna is in the way. So i need to shave it a little. As of now the VG would sit more on the rear windshield rather than the roof.

File, Dremel, whatever gets the job done for you. Cheers from MN

Hand sand or microfile, or both. I wouldn't use a dremel, rotary tools remove a lot of material really fast. On carbon, best to tape it, then use sandpaper with blocks unless you have a DA or variable speed grinder.

One the scale of carbon I make/fix that's nothing, if you want to mark where it needs cut and send it in I'll do it for you. i won't charge you anything but you gotta pay for shipping
