Mid-2012 MBP 13". Wifi Cables broken near display. How can these be repaired?

The wires just fatigued and broke from the display being opened/closed over the years. Wifi was still kind working (very slow) until I took the wifi card out saw that all the wires were broken.

I have decent soldering skills. Just wondering if anyone has a proven solution before I make something up.

Hi there!
No need to solder the cables, just replace the antenna:

You need to remove the display assembly and then slide the black plastic cover at the bottom of it.

Great. Thanks for that. I thought the antenna was integrated into the display.
