Default Help removing sharkfin..I have STFA

I read that you can remove the rear dome light to gain access. First question - how do you remove that panel; pls dont tell me it involves headliner removal :-|

Second question - is the sharkfin glued to the roof with an adehisive, would I use the same process as debadging to remove it or is it hooked in from underneath?

I know there will be a hole exposed when I remove it. TIA
