Default Question, how to install toggle switch to power antenna

I read where others say to splice switch in the pink wire.
Where is the easiest place to find the pink power wire ?
I want to install a toggle switch so antenna remains down while
playing cd's. Thanks to all for helping a senior corvette fanatic
By the way its a 00 Vert.

Default pink wire location

I have done this under $10 mod on my '90 and '04. I found it easy to locate the correct wire in the trunk, colse to the power antenna. Just cut the wire and splice a switch. I located it in the center councel to keep it out of view.

The trunk liner on the side of the trunk is very rigid and form fitted,
it seems like it will be very diffucult to remove without breaking something.Do you just pull it away to expose the wires.
Don't want to ruin the liner to expose wires
Thanks for any inf. to remove liner.

I just got access to the power wire in the passenger footwell area and put a radio shack rocker switch above my gas leg shin (hole in the thin plastic there) that I can reach with a stretch
