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.

First of all – sorry to see this, I bet that had to be stomach churning.

Policies and coverage vary, but if this were Hagerty they would simply bring it to an agreed to shop, their person would come over write up the damage amount, and then they would pay to get it fixed. It shouldn’t come anywhere close to totaling the car, so I am inclined to think that you’re covered. Use it – my guess is that a professional shop would not try to hammer that out but instead pull it and they should be able to check dimensions in the process .

I might want to start checking around to see if there are 914 experience shops in the area.

Hang in there – as the others have suggested that is eminently repairable.
