I've got a problem. I opened my trunk and accidentely left the keys on top of the rear light cover. So my keys are trapped in between the trunk lid and the rear light cover. Is there a way to open the trunk lid from inside of the trunk? I need to drive tonight and don't feel like calling a locksmith. thanks

I don't understand that... but if you are trying to open the trunk and the car is unlocked... don't you have a trunk release in the glove compartment? I do...

What I'm saying is that my keys are "squashed" in between the trunk lid and the tail light cover. Like when you open the trunk it reveals the tail light cover, I set my keys there then being the smart person I am, I shut the trunk with them still there. But no, I don't have a trunk release, I've got the most base GT you can get, don't have any options at all. So I need to open the trunk lid from inside the trunk if it's possible. any help?

Open the glove compartment. See the yellow button on the drivers side? Push that button.

Got it open, had to take off the three bolts holding the lock in place. Thanks for the suggestions, but like I said in my above post, there isn't a button in my glove compartment to open the trunk. It's a complete base GT that has no options.

I'm floored. I've got my window sticker and it doesn't list that as an option.

Can you post a picture of you glove compartment? I've never even heard of such a thing.

thanks.

If I can get my digi cam to work then I'll post a pic. I could be missing it but I can't find a button.

I too would like to see a pic of your glove compartment.
