I replaced my power antenna and all went well EXCEPT there's now a larger gap at the top between the fender and the door than there is at the bottom. It wasn't there before I fixed the antenna, so apparently I've tightened it up the wrong way.

What would be the correct way to fix this? I'm assuming that because the frame was being jacked up when I tightened it that this is my problem, so maybe just loosening off then re-tightening the bolts while it's sitting flat on the ground would work?

Any suggestions appreciated.
 
I know there are 4 bolts to the rear of the fender 2 on top and 2 on the bottom that need to be loosened and I believe that there are 2 in the front.. I have to do this tomorrow to replace my antenna so I will follow up with you..

Thanks!
 
Yep, put a jack under the frame beneath the fender. Stop lifting car when the gap is right and tighten all bolts. It works as you know!
