You must send the umbrella back to the original maker who will recurl it back for you.
IMO, whangee handle umbrellas should not be used when there is heavy rain as any water on the whangee for a prolonged time can uncurl it. Personally, I would have a hickory or some solid wood for when it looks like it will rain or it is raining heavily and have a whangee when it looks like it won't rain or is sunny.
I currently patronise James Smith & Sons. Not only the price is reasonable (between Brigg and Fox) but the most crucial bit is that they cut it to your required length. Plus, customer service at their shop is to be a lesson to all. I a have hickory fit-up umbrella from them that I use for spring and autumn.
I would like to get a Brigg in the future. Probably one with a silk canopy for the summer months or a soild stick one for winter.
