Cool Roof Wrap!!! Lets figure this out

Ok so I am planning on doing a vinyl roof wrap in gloss black on my nebula grey is 350 f sport. Problem is, I'm not sure how to remove the antenna to make the application easier. I know on previous IS models all you had to do was remove the rear dome light in the back seats, and then reach your hand back and unscrew the antenna from underneath. I removed the dome light, but to my surprise the 2014 models have welding around the hole so you cannot reach your hand back!
Is there any way to remove the antenna?
Is there an alternate way to wrap around the antenna?

I just got done wrapping mine up yesterday, to remove the shark fin antenna is not that bad. Take the entire casing of the back dome light off using plastic pliers around the black area then if you pull the headliner down a bit you can see the screw on the back, there's pressure tabs around the back of the headliner where it meets the back windshield, pull that down and you'll have more wiggle room to screw/unscrew the antenna.
