Interior Headliner removal

Everyone and anyone, quick How To question. Looking to wrap the roof of my car and have had good success with the exception of that stupid antenna. I just cannot seem to get the perfect fit around it. Anyone know if possible to remove headline from car, unwire the antenna, remove base from roof, apply vinyl, cut and then re-apply?

Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all.

You don't have to pull the headliner out completely, but you do need to drop the back half. BE VERY CAREFUL!! It's only thin cardboard and it WILL crease if you're not careful! If you do crease it, lmk. I have a couple tricks that can sometimes help.

Once you get access to the antenna, it should be a 10mm nut (might be more than 1, can't recall) and either 1 or 2 plugs.

Good luck!

Vivid, great thanks. This is good to know that it's just a few nuts that I have to remove. I was not sure about the headliner for the reason you mentioned above, but will remove with care. Will test things out and let you know how it works.
