Good info, it's been a while since I removed an OEM antenna. For the nut, either a 19mm deep socket, or 19mm open-ended wrench, is suitable.

Also, thanks for the pics NRG:

The chrome piece works as a nut, and secures to the top of the OEM antenna; there is a special tool that can grab into the slots, and unscrew it from the top, or as I mentioned in my earlier post, you can break it lose with careful taps of a hammer (then unscrew it the rest of the way by hand).

This is a great picture of the moulded carpet piece pulled out of the way; notice the circles, that's where the plastic push clips go through to keep the carpet in place. Once they're out of the way you can remove the electrical connector from the trunk light, then you have complete access to the antenna.
