Behind the panel on the driver's side in the hatch. You can just unplug the power motor for the antenna.

I can't say how it's held in with 100% certainty as the panels are different between the coupe and the Spyder (I have a Spyder..). The panels in the Spyder have a few screws that are very easily located with the spare tire cover out of the way and then the rest is just clips

Made a quick illustration to help guide you. First do the blue parts, then the red.

The center panel comes off first, you grab it at the bottom and pull out (towards the rear seats) until it pops out halfway. Then you put each hand on the top and pull upwards (be aware of the 4 metal clips falling out).

Then you unscrew the black net tab, the 2 screws on the shock cover, and the 2 screws on the bottom of the driver side panel (hidden under the wheel cover). It should just pull out after that.

Keep in mind these plastics are fairly sturdy so you wont really break them. The things that break most commonly are the white locators on the back of the center panel. Hope this helps.
