disconnecting power antenna..

[VL-187]

got a vs calais and my antenna is doing the horrible grinding noise every time i start it up/turn it off, i just want to disconnect it completely seeing as though i never even listen to the radio..
behind the passenger side blinker is a cable that seems like its going to the antenna motor, is this correct? (see pic)
Cant be F'd removing the front guard so can i just snip it to shut it up? or do i need to pull the guard off to completely disconnect it?
cheers

look inside the wheel arch, remove the black plastic splash shield, unplug the power plug.... quick and easy, do it when the antenna is up and you can still listen to the radio if you feel like it
