you unscrew that metal peice circled and i think there is also a bolt underneath. just pull out the cover in the trunk and you'll see it.

i just used a pair of needle nose pliers and ripped all that crap out and put in a oem plug

well, i had this problem as well. but the metal ring piece you have circled BROKE on me when i was trying to remove it.

put tape around the area of the antenna and just drill that bitch out. that's what i ended up having to do. the ring broke for me, and it didn't release it from the assembly. so i just took out the old black and decker drill and went at it. ten minutes, and a lot of plastic and rubber shavings later, it was gone. plugged it with a plug and never looked back.

since the car has been at the body shop, they pulled the plug and welded the hole shut. now it looks like it was never there

When I used to do these at the dealership I'd just take a flat head screwdriver and a hammer, then I'd slowly and very carefully tap it to get it to spin.

For those with the antenna stuck up, it sounds like the plastic strip is broken or jammed as well as some bent metal somewhere.
