I'll bet it matters which dealer you got the FEH from. I doubt they are shipped from the factory with the antenna installed. They would be too easy to bend/crush/break when loading them on the car carrier. It's got to be a part of the "prep" work that a dealership does on a new vehicle.... peeling off the plastic and the "tape" from the outside of the vehicle to prevent nicks... and putting on the antenna...

And whomever put your antenna on.... was decended from a gorilla. We'll theoretically we all were but in this case the lineage might have been more direct
