It involves removing or partially removing the headliner. Not a trivial undertaking.

Correct. You'll want to vinyl around the antenna.

The antenna is glued down AND bolted down. Once you loosen the bolt, you can pull the antenna off slowly cause the glue is pretty strong. You access the bolt by unscrewing your rear dome light piece. Take that whole dome light assembly out and put your arm inside. You can unscrew the nut without removing the headliner.

If you do not want to break the glue bonds, you can just wrap around the antenna. I wanted to tuck the vinyl underneath the antenna so that why I did this. Also, the antenna is NOT fully removable. It is attached to a thick cable so you can pull it off the roof, but it will still be attached to the car.
