I believe it's a single screw/nut of some sort holding the fin down. However, it's under the headliner, which is kind of a paint in the ass.

and what color might that be?

Removing the headliner is very time intensive and I've seen too many of those jobs result in loose and rattling headliners.

Why do you want to remove the shark fin?

I'm guessing the op either wants to delete the fin or wrap his roof.

Like others have said, you may want to wrap around it. I've known several people who did this - each said that they would never do it again because it is next to impossible to do right.

Wrapping it is impossible to do right, or taking off the fin?

Just wrap around it. Save yourself the headache of getting the fin off (and back on), and future headaches that ceb alluded to earlier.
