Before I had the wisdom of the list available, when confronted with that
problem, I cut a neat (approx. 4"x 6" hole) in the license plate recess
to gain access to the latch assy. After getting the trunk open, I made
a cover plate for my access hole, attached with sheet metal screws and
hidden by the license plate. I've had several occasions to use that
access since, from time to time, the key-moved lever, somehow gets past
the release arm. Worked for me, but If I had it to do over again, think
I would use the cable rigged to the latch (but, then again, you have to
anticipate that the latch won't work!)
