no you should be absolutely fine providing the grub screws have bitten into the inner of the gutter if the meter is saying its a ground plane problem then make sure the whip is std
if it anit broke dont fix it

I use a 4' Firestik mounted on a bracket behind the spare wheel using the top left carrier bolt to hold it. Seems to get out well and no swr issues. Used to use a gutter mount on most of my Range Rovers and that was fine too.
