Default How to drop headliner for antenna replacement?

Can anyone tell me how to drop the rear headliner to access the nut holding the antenna/shark fin on? I could not find any info on the ES, but watched a few videos on other Lexus models. I popped the corner pieces and assume the headliner is held up by 3 or 4 tabs, but I could not get it to pop. I did not feel comfortable pulling any harder for fear of creasing the headliner. I tried dropping the rear light but was not able to access the nut through there. It only needs to drop enough to get a ratchet in there.

Has anyone done this before? Do the rear handles need to come off?

Thanks!
