I'm afraid Martin there is nothing else for it but to start by pulling the radio out and then track the wires back from there to the aerial at the rear.

It's looking like a radio out job.
It only takes a few minutes.
Also, assuming you have the standard rear screen ariel - have you checked the screen element and the wires going into the tailgate for any damage? Does the rear screen demister still work?
