Wrapping Roof - Shark Fin Removal/Headliner Access Question

[ProsperDad]

I'm getting ready to wrap my roof, but am having difficulty figuring out how to access the underside of the antenna.

I can slide my fingers under the headliner, but can't get enough space to get a wrench in on the nut. I've tried feeling around under the headliner from the back with a trip removal tool, but by feel only, I can't seem to find where it is safe to pull down.

Have anyone else done theirs and if so, and tips or pics?

I do have pics of what the underside of the headliner looks like (thanks to someone selling one on eBay), as well as Genesis' parts drawing, but doesn't help me much.

Thanks!

I had my roof and shark fin antenna wrapped, they didnt need to remove it at all, they just wrapped it while it was on the car. Looks perfectly fine to me

Did you figure out how to take the antenna off???

I've read on here that in order for the headliner to be removed the windshield must be removed. The headliner is then removed through the windshield opening. Not sure if total removal would be required for PDR.

Thanks, it doesn't needs to come out, just lowered, but it won't let go and 3 people so far don't know why, :-(

Interesting! Is there anything in particular to be concerned about when removing as you work towards the front? I jumped in here because 2 people told me they couldn't remove it, I know learned about the clips by the rear window, I need PDR work done, and am now micromanaging, because I do not want any other problems.

Having to remove windshield, or seats/console to take out the headliner is absolutely ridiculous. Now I know why a guy who has a broken (exploded) moonroof said windshield needed to come out, and may be broken too. That's nuts.

Thanks so much! I believe I have found a competent shop, but I feel much better understanding this now.
