One of our club members had this problem. He called John Twist at
University Motors and John gave either sold him a tool or gave him a
design for a tool (I don't remember which) to open the trunk on a B. It
is a long, bent rod that inserts through the backup light(?) and winds
around to flip the latch.
Anyway, contact Twist, he'll help you out. His info is on
www.universitymotors.com.
