Is there anyway to fix this? Should I keep using it its not that bent?
Or can i just cut the bent part off? Only the top is bent

if it was mine, i would just cut the bent part off

i'd only use it in scenarios where i could still insert enough of it into the mast

I say...cut it off!! Where's the harm? Just consider it a short extension and use it accordingly, i.e. leave as much inside the mast as you would for any extension. Go go go!

It was chinkook about 4 months old.
Cutting it off is sounding pretty good

take it back and see if you can get a replacement on warranty. usually they are pretty good with those things.

Chinook shouldn't bend too badly compared to some others from reviews i've seen

I bent two cheap extensions and cut them just below the bend, put the end cap back on and bobs your uncle! Might need to buy a longer one again but
