Antenna Removal

I am trying to remove the antenna on my 2010 E350. The rear headliner has an access panel that is easily removed. I was then able to remove the one torx bit that holds the antenna to the roof. The problem is there are 3 wires going into the antenna. There seems to be no provision to disconnect the wires from the car. I do seem some screws on the bottom of the antenna but don't have enough slack in the wires to access them.
Has anyone removed their antenna

Thanks, Ron

Update
I was able to get enough slack in the wires to remove the screws from the bottom of the antenna
I removed the screws and the Top of the antennaccame off. The only thing I see are some circuit boards with no way to remove the wires.
So I am still unable to free the antenna from the car as there is no way to disconnect the wires going into it

Cut them, sounds like you're not going to be using the antenna anyway. I assume they plug connect at the other end.

Remove the C-pillar panels to gain access to the connectors.
