Okay locked myself out of the trunk yesterday. Did the mandatory 2 hours of swearing and then tackled it today. Tried the coat hanger method and swore some more. It wouldn't work on mine as the bar was jammed for some reason so plan B.
Removed the seat and drilled 1 inch holes into the trunk.(that way I can install 1 inch rubber plugs to cover the holes and keep the trunk dry.) Then used a very very very long screwdriver to remove the four screws holding the latches. Trunk opened once screws were removed. Oh yeah, I didn't have a 20 some inch screwdriver either. I used several 3/8ths socket extensions with a philips driver socket on the end. Put that through the hole. Then used a flashlight to see the screws for removal. So for anyone that has a broken lock or messed with the rod then this way works too.
