Hi Ed,

I have a Cascadia that had similar problems because the body mount antennas were too close to the overhang. Mine was solved with two trangular foam wedges slipped over the antenna at the contact points. The triangular shape helped with the aero effect and the foam eliminated the slap if it did hit.

I have a friend with a Colombia and we solved his slapping with two plastic brackets. One side slipped over the antenna with a loose fit and the other side secured to the bottom side of the overhang on each side. We made his out of .187 clear Plexiglas, so they are nearly invisible.

Hope this gives you some ideas for an easy fix.

Bob
