Aspire TV antenna

2018 Aspire TV antenna is not quite pointed straight forward when in travel position. Also when up on ladder the antenna can be easily moved about 30 degrees back and forth without any resistance. Is this looseness normal?

Jerry, is this the OTA antenna?

If so, I didn’t know that it had to be parked in any given position to travel. I just leave ours alone.

I think there is some play in the aiming mechanism but don’t know for sure.

Matt,
I know you know all about aerodynamics and streamlining!
If you rotate the OTA antenna for better reception two things happen. First the wings and body are no longer streamlined, which costs at least 1 MPG. Or more likely, just puts more load on the antenna. Second, if it is left rotated the handle may be out of position and could put a dent in your woodwork. I don’t know if your 2017 is same as mine.
