I wouldn't think it would cause any problems. Just check for any damage like splintering and such. As long as it checks out fine on your meters.
If it was me, I'd likely want a replacement, or at least, a new top section. I used to be rather mellow, but now I pretty much demand good customer service and product quality. Just to many places not giving 2 shits about taking people's hard earned money.

Big problem here is the glass doesn't survive very long in the Aussie Sun.I had one that started to shed fibers after 8 months. I now tape or paint all fiberglass before I put it up.Takes about 5 mins to paint with auto acrylic out of a rattle can.Ant worked well though and survived some big blows.
i would return it no matter whether if if does or doesnt .
if i buy a product i intend to keep it a long time .
having a slightly defective one is not a good start.
maybe they will comp you something .
to me that is a huge inconvienance . demand quality products from the manufacturer. you deserve it .
That would be aggravating especially if you like looking at your antenna as much as you like using it to talk on and have an eye for perfection. My A99's top section looked a little cockeyed when I had the standard tip on it(my brother installed it)but after me swapping that out for the Firestik FS99,(I installed it)it's now straight as an arrow. I agree with m42duster on quality. Hey,they have a zillion more. Get them to send you another.
P.S. The grunts most likely packed the box wrong. A quality control issue. Let them fix you up.

I just talked to a ham on the cb band. He says he knows a guy who co-phased two Imax 2000's 36 feet apart and used a RG11 phase harness. The guy get good results working DX. Sounds like a good deal!
