I can\'t be the only one that has this happen to them.what is it made of? aluminum i would expect to not be permanently bendable steel maybe more so i don;t see what else you can do try spreading it if it doesn;t stay you are stuck i wouldn;t try heat it could unpredictably change the tubing characteristics wle.Other related question
