Mounting cell antenna, A Pillar Cover & Headliner removal

My weekend project in installing a cell phone booster and through the roof antenna in my '06. My biggest concern is poking a hole in the roof, any tips from the group in mounting a through the roof antenna?

Also going to need to remove the A pillar cover (the thingy with the handle). How in the world do you get the screw caps off on either side of the handle without bungling up the caps? i've tinkered with them and wanted to know if there is a secret before i mangle them.

How hard is it to pull the headliner down (partially remove) so that I can get in there and run wires and mount antenna?

thanks, this group is always full of ideas and experience
