Re: Alternative ways to open the hatch?

no no, there is a key for the trunk, but the hole will be covered by a blackout that can't be taken off unless the hatch is open -- so that pretty much cancels the use of the key out.

yeah when the key turns, the cable tightens... and turns the release mechanism. It's just not turning far enough (probably like 3/4 of the way) -- so I'm assuming the cable comehow got loose.
