It'd probably be easier to remove if you took off the tail light. Remove the clips/large screws, pop the plastic piece off the center of the trunk (where it locks), pull away some of the lining and unscrew the 3 hex shaped screws, once they're off hit the screws lightly with the back up a screw driver, now that lights are no longer snug in place plug them out from the outside of the car.
You'll need a flat head and a wrench. If you need more detailed instructions give me a call, I'll go to my car as you're doing it.

Shark Fin Antenna:
Just go inside your car and take out the cover of your 3rd brake light. From there pull the roof panel carefully and slowly. There are some plugs so it is not hard. Try not to pull out the pillar on both side. When you pull down the roof liner, don't BEND it too hard or else you will see some indentation of the liner. OK hard part is taking out the shark fin. You need to go all the way in on the back window to find the shark fin. I think you need a 12mm or 13mm to loosen the nut. Once the nut is off there is a plug. Disable that plug. That plug is for the XM radio. Once that is done, your antenna should be off.
Like I said, hardest part is to loosen the nut that holds onto the antenna. But remember if you pull the roof liner, don't bend it all the way. Bend it so you have enough space to loosen the Antenna.
Have fun
