I didn't engage the parking brake hard enough and it rolled into a tree. At first my trunk lock was stuck but using the rubber mallet treatment it came loose - its got spring tension but nothing is releasing. I can't get the trunk to open. Most of my good tools as well as my targa top is in there. Any suggestions? I was thinking i could take the bolts off the front of the trunk and get in there but that seems to be a pretty bad option.

Ugh. So sorry to see this. I hear that others go in through the engine compartment and push the plastic cups out where the targa sits in the trunk. Then use many socket extensions to reach and loosen the truck latch bolts. Not sure how doable this is with the top in the trunk though. Hopefully others will chime in.
