JCW Wing and the antenna issue

Hey guys i tried the search for this issue but I couldnt find anything.

Here is my issue I have a 06 MCS with a JCW wing and the stock antenna. Well the wing hits the antenna when you open the hatch. Ive been looking around but even the stubby ones look like they'll still hit the wing. The last thing I want to do is break the gel coat on the wing.

So does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone make a BMW shark fin style that works on our cars? Just looking for a solution.

I've had mine wing for over 4 years with the stock antenna and I haven't had a problem yet. I just hang on to the hatch and let it up slowly.

How does the antenna on the GP work to not hit the wing? Mine came with a short billet one and I'm looking for an OEM one for better radio reception.
