Alright I got it open ....- Just in case someone else runs into this problem, here's what I had to do.
I could not - and still can not get my key to open the trunk using the lock cylinder.....
I could not get the bottom of the seat unbolted due to the metal pan on the seatback being in the way.
I did not CUT my rear deck~! Who does that!
What I did to open my trunk was to physically bend the metal seatback on the passenger side enough that I could pull the cable release and get the seats folded down. After that - I crawled through the trunk and flipped the VALET switch and that allowed me to use my keyfob or internal release switch.........
Need any additional help? Email me.
