Default Help! How to remove headliner? (to replace antenna)

So unfortunately for me, someone recently decided they needed my sharkfin antenna cover more than me and removed it. In the process, they managed to bend the roof so the antenna no longer sits flush and scuffed up the paint a bit for good measure.

I've already ordered a replacement antenna and plan on visiting a PDR guy to hopefully straighten the roof.

I'm asking for help in removing the headliner at the rear of the car so I can access the bolt to (properly) remove the antenna, from inside. I've removed the plastic cover but scared to damage the headliner without some instructions. Thanks in advance.

Oh man, that is despicable! What a cruel, heartless act. Where, on earth, do you live?

I park inside so this would have happened during a recent road trip. But, after much deliberation, it actually may be the result of an automated (spinning brush) car wash. Will investigate further to hopefully pinpoint the true cause.
